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

The instructor clearly put a lot of time and effort into making a detailed course with a lot of guidance and good screencasts. The course was surprisingly difficult for me, and in retrospect, I would have liked a simpler course with more repetition on simpler tasks. This would have allowed more success, less frustration, and better mastery of more straightforward tasks. Instead, I felt I was doing anything I could to somehow finagle the right answer/formula, but I would not be able to do it again. At one point, I did sort of cry. However, I think there are those for whom this course would be perfect and very fun. Perhaps the course description could be tailored to help learners know better what to expect. There were many comments from learners who were clearly enjoying the course very much, and I'm sure many of them are going on to complete the specialization. The instructor is commended for putting together a thorough course.

I have taken many Excel courses and this one is by far my favorite. I have a lot of experience with the basic functions of Excel, but I was really struggling with understanding the formulas. I knew there was an easier way to do a lot of the calculations I was doing before. I enjoyed learning the different formulas and how they were built, what the different arguments were and how to use them. The only reason I did not give this course 5 stars is that it was hard to follow along at times and I would have to continuously pause the video to complete the step, therefore it took much longer than the time of the video to complete.

Learned a lot from the class. He uses good examples and some humor. He covers a lot and I think a lot is quite useful. The assignments weren't easy. I think to improve either slow down the pace of the lessons so the information can sink in better and we can do the assignments more easily (Which would entail either a longer course or less content covered) or to simplify the assignments. If so much content is to be covered in so short of time, it does help us to see a wide array of stuff, but simpler assignments would then be in order.

Mr. Nuttelman is extremely knowledgeable on the functions in Excel and how to use them. I highly recommend this instructor. There were some things available in Microsoft Office 365 that I couldn't use in Excel 2019, so there are some challenging areas if you don't have the latest and greatest... Also, the time needed to complete the course was not accurate for me. The screencasts go through the content quickly, so I was constantly pausing and rewinding to see what he was doing and follow along.

I really enjoyed this course. It was difficult, but that's what I'm looking for. The streams were nicely presented, the questions & quizzes were challenging and I really enjoyed the interactive worksheets at the end of each week. I'm going to see if I can push myself through Part 2, and hopefully Part 3. I took this corse during the pandemic, since I lost my job. I really appreciate Coursera giving me this opportunity to build up my skillset so I can find another good job. Thanks!

This course was incredibly interesting. I definitely came out knowing a lot about how excel and how to work it. The course starts off easy but gets progressively harder, sometimes too hard for my liking. However, everything that you need to complete assignments and quizzes are right there in their respectives week schedules, all you need to do is find the info you're looking for. Cant wait to get started on Everyday Excel Part 2! 9/10 would definitely recommend

This course is very informative. Going through this course, a good understanding of the use of the functions can be developed. Although some terms need to be properly defined like VBAs, some functions like XLOOKUP, etc,. these can have more uses than defined in this course. Otherwise, this course is very beneficial for beginners who use Excel in their daily life.

A lot of knowledge in here and set out really well. I found some of the assignments a tad confusing as you expect them to relate to the week's learning whereas some of the answers are from previous week's information. There are also some slight errors here and there which can throw you off. Other than that, great course and I learned a lot from it!
