An extremely helpful course, especially for those who are new to Excel. The practice videos are well designed. The assessments force a learner to actually practice and have a better understanding of how to utilize Excel tools. I have learnt a lot!

Excelente curso para una guía básica del uso. generalmente no explotamos la herramienta completa y este curso al partir de lo básico, enseña trucos y herramientas que son útiles y que muchas veces se pasan por alto al momento de usar el software.

As mentioned at the start of the course, excel is a very large subject, and most of the time students are not aware of their blind spots. This course has been useful in showing me simple, but very useful tricks that I was not aware of previously.

Course was good. Although, I knew a number of things but there were still a lot of things that was actually left. I learned to manage data. At last, I will be able to excuse myself from long copying and pasting of formulas. Thanks for the course.

This is a great course for beginners and those who have self taught excel skills but no real depth of knowledge of the power of excel.

Very well presented, easy to follow along, plenty of tips and practice assignments to help build your knowledge.

Really Good Course, it very nicely takes you through the essentials of excel. I feel so much more organised now while looking at numbers. I am not just randomly clicking different parts of the software without any idea of what is going to happen.

Excellent course, I literally knew nothing of Excel before and this course provides you just with everything you need to start from scratch. I would recommend anyone attempting this course to have Excel's 2016 version as this is the one they use.

Excellent Breakdown of the essential knowledge needed to use Excel. I, like so many, was self-taught, and though I already knew how to do much of what they were teaching, I also found new shortcuts and efficient ways to achieve the same results.

Though I know excel a fair bit and opted for the specialization, but this particular course provided some great and structured ways of going about in Excel. It is a little slow paced in case you know stuff but excellent for a complete beginner.

Excel essential is a strategically designed course for beginners like me. Mentors like Nikki and Prashant were very detailed in explaining each and every thing. Also Coursera is a very helpful platform that has helped me learn this basic skill.
