The course was very comprehensive and easy to understand. The instructors made sure that they are giving the information in a way that won't make me confused. Thank you so much for this great course!

Great course that starts with basics for newcomers to Excel and slowly builds up to some intermediate and advanced formulas that can be used for all sorts of business and real world problem solving

A very informative course that teaching how excel can be used through real-life applications! However, several of the formulas and answer keys were incorrect and need to be revised. Some of the phrasings for questions in the assignments were also difficult to understand due to unclear instructions and typos.

Es un curso básico que introduce algunas de las funciones y características robustas para el procesamiento de datos de MS Excel para aquellos que lo conocieron mucho después de su formación escolar básica. Con esto se adquiere una visón del programa como una herramienta para resolver problemas de negocio.

The course is overall really good for learning new skills on excel, but I found myself stuck in Week 2 as there were some concepts that weren't taught or even given a view before giving in the exercise. I struggled a lot to understand how they all worked, but overall was a good learning experience.

It is first class material with rigorous exercises and examples and of course the applicability of the content is unquestionable. However, according to my personal opinion, one should take carefully into consideration the time that should invest in order to fully grasp the content of this course.

I really like the pace and the short lessons, although sometimes the narration went a little too fast. Also, some of the downloadable examples could be reviewed for minor corrections and spelling errors. Overall, though, this was a great addition to my existing Excel knowledge and very helpful.

It was challenging to follow some of the examples, especially in weeks 2 & 3 as the view was too small. When I enlarged my screen, it was blurry. A bit frustrating. There were also some errors in the solutions. As a PwC person, would love to see us upscale the delivery of this training.

I was already familiar with advanced Excel techniques but this course re-affirmed these and introduced exciting new techniques for familiar functions and logic. New advanced formulas were also introduced and very practical and insightful. Invaluable - really enjoyed the course!

They cover good material in an order that makes sense. However, the instruction itself is less than helpful at times. Typos or unclear instructions in the practice exercises and steps in some videos being unexplained meant I was confused more often than probably necessary.

I give 4 stars because I think more can be done in terms of assessment design (sheet layouts is quite in my point of view compare to others courses on Coursera).

The explanations are very straightforward, easily understandable. The exercises are great in terms of contents.

Good course, learnt a few new things even though I am very experienced with Excel. I found some of the exercise / project questions a bit confusing (not the task itself, but the way it was described - instructions were not always clear, and sometimes contained errors).

Some videos were blurry and inaudible and some of the culminating exercises included lessons that were not explained (eg. multiple values for the NPV function). But I'm overall satisfied as I got to learn new things despite already having some proficiency in Excel!

The structure of the course is great but material could have been reviewed before being posted. This would only help avoid confusion and make it easier to execute what was actually taught. Also visually a few of the videos are not clear and could have been enlarged

In general, this is a good course. It provides many handy tools. But I still wish it had provided a larger scope of other tools we could learn in the future, even if the course doesn't teach these. In essence, I learned much, but my horizon wasn't broadened much.

Nice course to learn Problem Solving using Excel as a tool. Explained in a simple way and provides opportunities to self study with handbook and workbook materials. The More you practice excel, the more efficient you become. Great course for Beginners in Excel.

Great course for an basic or Intermediate Excel user, many new tips and tricks are taught in this course which are not known to most of the people. The course could have more types of data analysis as it contains only liner regression and cluster analysis.

This course is really good. the reason for 4* is that statistical excel is not as useful in this course as it should be because of limited exposure to their exercise and explanation. It should be removed and replace with something more suitable.

I enjoyed this course very much. This course gave me a greater competence in Excel, although I was familiar with some of the features. The only point was the low visual quality of some videos. However, the use cases were varied and useful.

Great informative videos. The workbooks to download and work along side intructors are great- a couple times the assessment will be far beyond the cirriculum in the lesson which was a little overwhelming. Overall good experience gained.

This is a good learning experience for intermediate level. I enjoyed learning this course. And also please make videos on explaining solutions too. There will be few people who will be unable to understand the solutions directly given.

Everything is good except some writing mistakes in exercises especially the cumulative exercise of week 3. And in terms of the teaching video, she/he teaches very clearly but the sound is a little bit intolerable. Anyway, thanks a lot!

Considero que el curso es muy apropiado para los profesionales de la firma. Este curso ayuda a desarrollar tus capacidades informáticas de una manera rápida.Lo único que añadiria es más información teórica acerca de ciertas formulas.

Generally it was a great course, however I noticed some technical issues. The major one in Week 3 in cumulative exercise regarding Pivot Tables. Description of the task was cut and it was not clear what I am expected to perform.

Voice quality in some videos was poor. Kindly work on it. Apart from that, exceptionally well course with amazing practical exposure and brilliant instructors. Looking forward to completing other courses of the specialization.

A solid overview of excel, though some of the practice material felt unclear, and the course assumes you have a desktop version of Microsoft Office (I used LibreOffice Calc to get through this course, which had limitations)
