About the Course

By the end of this project, you will learn how to create an Excel Spreadsheet by using a free version of Microsoft Office Excel. Excel is a spreadsheet that works like a database. It consists of individual cells that can be used to build functions, formulas, tables, and graphs that easily organize and analyze large amounts of information and data. Excel is organized into rows (represented by numbers) and columns (represented by letters) that contain your information. This format allows you to present large amounts of information and data in a concise and easy to follow format. Microsoft Excel is the most widely used software within the business community. Whether it is bankers or accountants or business analysts or marketing professionals or scientists or entrepreneurs, almost all professionals use Excel on a consistent basis. You will learn what an Excel Spreadsheet is, why we use it and the most important keyboard shortcuts, functions, and basic formulas....

My last beginner Excel guide project. Such a great course! The instruction is clear and he/she/they is repeatedly told to pause if I want to do my project. Thoughtful!

V​ery clear and straight to the point. The Instructor understood the need to make her intended listeners understand her concepts in the very simplest of ways possible.

Hi.My name is Zainab Nadeem.I am currently BSCS student from punjab universty lahore,Pakistan.I will share my learning experience with Microsoft Excel. During the course, I understood the basics of spreadsheets and how to use Excel to organize and manage data. I also learned practical skills such as using formulas, sorting and filtering data, creating tables, and updating records. These concepts have improved my knowledge of Excel and will help me in future tasks related to study and work.

This is embarrassingly bad. Instead of teaching you Quick Analysis, it asks you to type the same data 16 times. Instead of teaching you the sum function, it makes you sum each individual item. A kindergartener would feel his intelligence was insulted by this "course".
