Excellent Breakdown of the essential knowledge needed to use Excel. I, like so many, was self-taught, and though I already knew how to do much of what they were teaching, I also found new shortcuts and efficient ways to achieve the same results.

Though I know excel a fair bit and opted for the specialization, but this particular course provided some great and structured ways of going about in Excel. It is a little slow paced in case you know stuff but excellent for a complete beginner.

Excel essential is a strategically designed course for beginners like me. Mentors like Nikki and Prashant were very detailed in explaining each and every thing. Also Coursera is a very helpful platform that has helped me learn this basic skill.

The course has been very useful. It guides you through Microsoft Excel's basic tools and their applications in real life. What I love about it is it emphasizes practicing by yourself, which is in my opinion, the best way to learn any programs.

Short, high quality videos with detailed instructions that are easy to follow, even for total beginners. The tutors speak slowly and clearly so the language barrier is not an issue. Great for aspiring Excel monkeys like me. Keep climbing.
