very nicely prepared and well verse with day to day function used in excel. Best part was the Quiz in question tricky if studied well then you answer easily else it's like all option are familiar:)

Learning with guidance was fantastic. Trying to learn through experimentation alone would have been challenging and time-consuming. This guided project offered detailed insights and shortcuts that will greatly aid in everyday work tasks.

Thank you for this course!

Coursera is the best platform for me to learn new skills and develop good interest in various applications like MS-EXCEL, and many more. It has become very easy for me now to understand the concepts.

the course is brief and comprehensive at the same time, quickly familiarizing you with tools and how to use them. there are sections that could be more comprehensive but that's probably beyond the scope of a two hour course.

Explained understandably with step-by-step guides, real-life-like examples, and additional tasks. Pivot tables, vlookup and If function (for data mining), sorting and filtering, creating tables. Highly recommend :)

Excellent straightforward course. Good teaching skills. In less than two hours (with a common Excel background), you can receive the certifcate. It was for me, a very good refresher on VLOOKUP and Pivot Tables.

The best explanation and easy to understand the concepts. The questionnaires asked at the end of the session are very creative and those could be an example to work on the live concepts in a corporate company.
