About the Course

"Everyday Excel, Part 1" is aimed at learners who are seeking to learn Excel from the ground up. No experience with Excel is necessary. While this course is meant for beginners of Excel, advanced users will undoubtedly pick up new skills and tools. This course is the first part of a three-part series and Specialization that focuses on teaching introductory through very advanced techniques and tools in Excel. In this course (Part 1), you will: 1) learn how to effectively navigate around the Excel environment; 2) edit and format Excel worksheets; 3) implement basic to advanced Excel functions (including financial, logical, and text functions); 4) learn how to manage data sets (filter, remove duplicates, consolidate data, sort data, and validate data); and 5) learn how to effectively visualize data through scatterplots, column charts, and pie charts. New to Excel? That is entirely fine! This course is meant to be fun, thought-provoking, and appeal to a wide audience. No prior knowledge in programming nor advanced math skills are necessary. The course is organized into 5 Weeks (modules). To pass each module, you'll need to pass a mastery quiz and complete a problem solving assignment. This course is unique in that the weekly assignments are completed in-application (i.e., on your own computer in Excel), providing you with valuable hands-on training....

That was extremely helpful, I liked it so much, I liked everything about it from the breaking down of new subjects, literally someone with zero experience in excel can understand and use these things

Very good introduction or refresher in the basics of Excel. A few updates would be necessary, after the release of Office 2021.

If the training is to be improved, it would certainly benefit from additional interaction (exercises, assgnements, etc.) and from a prepared summary of the specific features, functions, etc for each week. they would be extremely useful to reinforce the skills and the abilitis for those us who do not have the opportunity to practise everythig right after the course.

You need to pay attention to or take notes on absolutely everything in the course because the semingly insignificant details have a tendency to show up in the quizes and assignments.

I liked this course overall, but it went into depth with some material, which I wasn't expecting. The screen casts and examples were awesome and helpful, and the professor explains everything well, but some parts were frustrating. There was some more math than I thought, and some homework was harder than what the material covered. It was pretty technical and practical, so if you enjoy that, you will enjoy this course. Here are my critiques:

- Too math-based

- No help available from the professor if you are stuck

- There are homework assignments that are harder than the lessons

- This course is hard to complete if you don't have a windows computer!! Would not recommend if you are a MAC user.

My biggest critique is that the assignments could be overwhelming and difficult, and some people take this course just to learn! I understand the point of the quizzes and assignments, I really do, but sometimes the homework can be a deterrent. If I had to pay for the course, I would have probably given up.

But, I did learn a lot, which is awesome, and you can tell the professor is very knowledgeable Explanations are clear and concise, whihc I like.

I found this course difficult. It is harder than what I thought a "beginner" level would be. I was able to complete it, and learned things far above what I ever thought I would. It seems to move quickly....so hopefully I am able to retain it. Some written notes would have been super helpful....example - to list formulas, when they are used, and what arguements are in each - with a general description.

For basic excel users i think this course is way to advance for them. There were many times where i was lost because i felt a few steps were missed in the screen casts. I had to watch most of the videos over a few times to semi understand everything.
