Exceptionally well-designed and articulated course. The instructors have done a great job. They have kept it short, easy, and fun the whole time. Definitely recommended for anybody who is just starting out or struggling due to lack of quality instructions and resources.

I was nothing when I joined but now I can surely say I am something after all the instructions and knowledge grabbed from Coursera. No doubt a friendly site easy to learn, easy to stay on. Thanks Coursera Thanks HEC Pakistan for given me a chance to learn something new.

Very good course to fill the gaps in your knowledge or to gain exact that knowledge if you're just getting familiar with Excel. I loved the videos, very descriptive, but not too much and the course is built in a way that reinforces just learned material in several ways.

Great Course to introduce Excel Skills. Easy to follow videos and the practice exercises were very helpful. I had previous excel experience, but found this course taught me so many things I didn't know about functions and shortcuts that will be helpful in my career.

He trabajado con Excel un par de años. Sin embargo, sentía que me hacía falta conocer más para sacarle jugo al programa. A pesar de que el contenido del curso es básico, cada semana descubrí nuevas características o herramientas que hacen más fácil trabajar con Excel.
