Best course in learning Microsoft Excel if you're using Excel for work.

Rounded up from 2.5 stars. Starting as a complete beginner, I feel I learned a lot, but it required significantly more time than estimated, and a lot of self-teaching and trial-and-error. The amount of information provided in the five-minute videos would be more useful in a bulleted list - way too much to digest in such a short time. Someone really needs to go through and edit these courses. There are a lot of obvious typos, and the way several sets of instructions are worded/formatted makes them unnecessarily confusing. Also, at least two answers in the quizzes are incorrect, confirmed by the "explanation" provided in the feedback provided post-quiz. I made a note of one of them: Self Review in 'Sorting Data', Q3. The first quiz contains questions on material that isn't covered until later modules, and instead of the ability to retake it three times every 24 hours, like all other quizzes throughout the course, you're only given one. I recommend skipping it until the third module is completed. I likely wouldn't recommend this course to those who don't have basic knowledge of formulas and functions used in Excel.

Learned a great deal of info and refreshed some old details.

I rated 4 star because Microsoft needs to enable the use of Slicers for Mac OS users

Course content is great, but it was a bit difficult to follow along without Excel. I thought it was rather disappointing that purchasing the course didn't give you some type of trial or X number of months to use Excel.

First 2-3 courses seem beneficial in understanding Excel and Power BI. However, I believe the additional courses aren't so useful and may be used to justify the cost of the course by making it longer.

Many broken questions in the exams.

I don't understand what is the issue with the entire course, if the course is not fully available you should not have made it available on the platform. One has to wait 8 days if attempt is failed, this is absolutely unfair. you wasted my three weeks on this course, i would have taken some other course rather. Will never suggest this Microsoft course to anyone.

too many problems

Not worth it.

I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their excel data analysis capabilities using Microsoft Excel.

This course effectively reinforced my existing Excel knowledge and refined how I apply it in real business analysis.

I especially appreciated how it linked Excel techniques to business insights—turning data into actionable information.

Super Easy instructions to follow, learnt a lot of new functions and how and when they can be used. The examples were really engaging and super easy to follow as well, the instructions and video were helpful which helped me stay focused and get things done on a timely manner.

It's a wonderful course to enhance the knowledge of Excel. Every topic is very well explained with videos and study material. Excel files given for practice are very helpful. I got to learn a lot of new things from this course. Thanks to the whole team. Great job!

The videos were informative, and the subsequent reading reinforced the learning from the videos.

It has been a good refresher course for me. Also learned a few more things I did not know.

The lessons were very informational and the hands on activities were very valuable.

O curso é ótimo. Está me permitindo melhorar na otimização das análises de dados.

This is one of the best courses I have ever taken.

Great learnings, I am hooked! Thank you Coursera!
