The instructor did not include "AVERAGEIF" at the end of the "Sum and Average in Excel " video. She clearly noticed it because the video image stops on "AVERAGEIF" tab, but there is no instructions on this particular area. And the test task 2 standard answer is incorrect.

Unlike other courses and guided projects I've taken, this one does not include a spreadsheet with all of the data we need. We are required to type everything up on our own spreadsheet. This was a little annoying, but I still would have stuck with it becasue the information was useful. However, the instructor seemed to be unaware of the fact that we are trying to follow along in a split screen mode. When it was time to work on a new sheet, we had to type everything up on a new worksheet, but her information was not visible. She needs to scroll over on her sheet so we can see her sheet and type on ours at the same time. I wish this class would have been set up properly. I ended up leaving the project to look for something better.

Lookup reference, math, and text functions are essential tools in Microsoft Excel that allow users to perform various operations on data in a worksheet.

Lookup reference functions, such as VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP, are used to search for specific values in a table and return corresponding values in the same or another column. These functions are useful when you need to find specific data within a large dataset or when you want to extract information from a table. Other lookup reference functions in Excel include INDEX, MATCH, and CHOOSE.

Math functions in Excel are used to perform mathematical operations on numeric data. These functions can be used to perform basic arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as more complex operations such as exponentiation, logarithms, and statistical calculations. Popular math functions in Excel include SUM, AVERAGE, MAX, MIN, ABS, ROUND, and IF.

Text functions in Excel are used to manipulate and analyze text data. These functions can be used to extract specific characters or words from a text string, combine text from different cells, or format text in a particular way. Common text functions in Excel include CONCATENATE, LEFT, RIGHT, MID, LEN, FIND, and SUBSTITUTE.

Overall, lookup reference, math, and text functions are powerful tools that can help users analyze and manipulate data in Excel. By mastering these functions, users can save time and improve the accuracy of their work, making it a valuable skill for both personal and professional use.

The instruction is very easy to follow for begineer, but it is better to make it obvious where can learners get the data file before the lesson starts such as write it down on the introduction page. It seems that the instructor did not update this project after they prepared the data file for learners to use.

For learners who do not know where the data file is:

First, follow the instruction login your Microsoft account in the cloud workplace.

Second, go to OneDrive.

Third, click upload file. You will probably see there is a file for you to upload to your OneDrive. That file is the data file.

Fourth, open the data file and continue the lesson.

Wasn't clear about VLOOKUP from my another course. This course cleared this out. Plus learned about HLOOKUP function as well. Thank You Summer.

It is explaining in the simplest way ,examples are good and simple and more complex example can be use for deeper understanding.

One of the answer is wrong on 2, Pears. It is 3 not 2

I correct 'choose' tuition and tutor skips section AverageIF, This training is a waste of time!?!

Decided not to do this but can't unenroll.

seems some parts are missing

"This course provided a comprehensive deep dive into essential Excel functions. I particularly valued the clear explanations of VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP, and the practical distinction between using MATCH versus CHOOSE for data retrieval. The sections covering statistical functions like MIN, MAX, and AVERAGE, along with the various COUNT functions (COUNT, COUNTA, and COUNTIF), were incredibly helpful for organizing and analyzing large datasets. The lessons were well-structured, making complex lookup and reference concepts easy to understand and apply in real-world scenarios. Highly recommended for anyone looking to reach an intermediate level in Excel."

Good morning, teachers. How was your night? I hope as you are doing well this morning, thanks to God. I am a citizen of Ukraine. I had medical business in the city of Truskavets in the Lviv Oblast of Ukraine. Likewise, I have a medical license in Ukraine. I have some experience with war. Now I want to get a career as a marketer and bookkeeper in the USA. I learned a lot from your course. I appreciate you, and I am very grateful for the knowledge that you give to people.

I found this course to be extremely helpful in improving my Excel skills, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about VLOOKUP functions. The instructor was a great resource and made the learning process both enjoyable and effective. I look forward to taking more courses with her in the future!

Hi, My name is Zafran. I have successfully completed my short course.I am very thankful to my instructor and the Coursera community. Thank you so much Coursera team.

Explained well, I was able to follow along, and take separate notes to reference to later in onenote.

only issue i think was that in the quiz the last answer should have been CountA and not CountIf

I finish my second project with this instructor and I am very happy about it.

Easy to follow and straight to the point exercises. I recommend this course

it was a good course would to study another course from you maam Thank you

Well explained. Good oratory. Good practical examples.

Keep it Up
