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 interesting and well explained. some parts were too complicated though - not really "everyday excel" in my opinion.

By no means a bad course, just that I have issues working on the assignment. Not sure if it is my software problem.

I felt there could had been more examples and more multi-use of excel functions for the examples.

I was very disappointed in how this course was presented. My background is math and I have a degree in Computers in Education. I had a familiarity with Excel and just decided to take it for fun to pick up some new skills but i became so frustrated with finding my way around the course and how to use the supplied spread sheets that I just gave up and only did the videos and picked up information, The instructor presented the topic way to fast and really did not give guidance in what we should do in the practice sheets to prepare for the quizzes. Feel free to contact me at jbunting_97@yahoo.com if you would like to discuss this further.

I have never quit on a course in my entire life until this one and it has defeated me.

My experience with this course was not a good one as it went over my ahead for the most part of it. The assignments were much too technical for the examples that were given in the screencasts. And you could be stuck on them for days, maybe weeks without being able to move on because you need the assignment codes and there is no form of solution except you find a nice enough fellow with the solutions in the discussion forum. But thanks to the organizers and presenters of the course. At least, I was able to get out some useful information.

This class started off interesting then turned into just a bunch of formulas. I need to practice to retain and though the quizzes are nice, but there is nothing to help you practice the concepts before continuing. I think having the assignments at the end before the quiz is a waste. I became really frustrated with not knowing what was wrong with my calculations or formula and not having help with that.

I'm actually leaving this class because the instructor is going way to fast and makes me dizzy with how much he moves his cursor around. I would have otherwise enjoyed the class and could have used the knowledge that I have to now look for elsewhere.

This course is not for the beginner. It is very fast paced and he moves around very quickly. Not all of the testing material is covered in the videos.

Hard to follow, I didn't feel prepared when it came to assignments and I found myself using google as a source rather than the screencasts for help.

Definitely not for beginners. You should have a good deal of knowledge about Excel before enrolling in this course.

The assignments and spreadsheets are not compatable. I have had numerous feedback from Excel experts the assignemnts do not match the spreadseets. I have talked to 3 different people in your organization and say that there is nothing wrong, YES there is I hate that Ive wasted so much time on a assignment and cannot go forward with this course. I have not made up my mind whether I am staying with your website. This has caused me so much stress and a lot I mean a lot of sleepless nights. They say you live and learn well I believe thats true. I just hope no one else endures the pain and stress I have

Unfortunately, for the first time ever, I have to give this course a bad rating. I started out with excitement to move mountains and ended up with disappointment after disappointment due to not being able to complete any of the assignments. Since codes are needed to unlock the next lessons I have to unenroll with a sad heart. The problem cannot be found and therefore it cannot be fixed. I have tried everything possible - from Google to friends with Excel and IT knowledge to assist but to no avail. Such a waste of time........! Thank you for everything I could manage to learn. All the best.

I don't what's wrong, but I couldn't pass the quiz. I tried many a times with all the corrects answers but they gave 44% every time. May be there is a technical glitch. I have also reported the issue on the quiz, but there was no response. I couldn't move on with the course and it's been a month now. I'm highly dissapointed
