This was a great course to take. Very easy to understand. I've used Excel for many years and very familiar with many of the items discussed but was still able to learn things.

Great course! The only slight annoyance was that some of the videos cut off/stopped prior to their full completion. Other than that, very well put together and easy to follow.
