About the Course

"Everyday Excel, Part 1" is aimed at learners who are seeking to learn Excel from the ground up. No experience with Excel is necessary. While this course is meant for beginners of Excel, advanced users will undoubtedly pick up new skills and tools. This course is the first part of a three-part series and Specialization that focuses on teaching introductory through very advanced techniques and tools in Excel. In this course (Part 1), you will: 1) learn how to effectively navigate around the Excel environment; 2) edit and format Excel worksheets; 3) implement basic to advanced Excel functions (including financial, logical, and text functions); 4) learn how to manage data sets (filter, remove duplicates, consolidate data, sort data, and validate data); and 5) learn how to effectively visualize data through scatterplots, column charts, and pie charts. New to Excel? That is entirely fine! This course is meant to be fun, thought-provoking, and appeal to a wide audience. No prior knowledge in programming nor advanced math skills are necessary. The course is organized into 5 Weeks (modules). To pass each module, you'll need to pass a mastery quiz and complete a problem solving assignment. This course is unique in that the weekly assignments are completed in-application (i.e., on your own computer in Excel), providing you with valuable hands-on training....

The course focuses on the main points and is easy to understand. However, it will take a little time for beginners to learn Excel to catch up because the pace of the course is quite fast.

I'm actually leaving this class because the instructor is going way to fast and makes me dizzy with how much he moves his cursor around. I would have otherwise enjoyed the class and could have used the knowledge that I have to now look for elsewhere.

This course is not for the beginner. It is very fast paced and he moves around very quickly. Not all of the testing material is covered in the videos.

Hard to follow, I didn't feel prepared when it came to assignments and I found myself using google as a source rather than the screencasts for help.

Definitely not for beginners. You should have a good deal of knowledge about Excel before enrolling in this course.

The assignments and spreadsheets are not compatable. I have had numerous feedback from Excel experts the assignemnts do not match the spreadseets. I have talked to 3 different people in your organization and say that there is nothing wrong, YES there is I hate that Ive wasted so much time on a assignment and cannot go forward with this course. I have not made up my mind whether I am staying with your website. This has caused me so much stress and a lot I mean a lot of sleepless nights. They say you live and learn well I believe thats true. I just hope no one else endures the pain and stress I have

Unfortunately, for the first time ever, I have to give this course a bad rating. I started out with excitement to move mountains and ended up with disappointment after disappointment due to not being able to complete any of the assignments. Since codes are needed to unlock the next lessons I have to unenroll with a sad heart. The problem cannot be found and therefore it cannot be fixed. I have tried everything possible - from Google to friends with Excel and IT knowledge to assist but to no avail. Such a waste of time........! Thank you for everything I could manage to learn. All the best.

I don't what's wrong, but I couldn't pass the quiz. I tried many a times with all the corrects answers but they gave 44% every time. May be there is a technical glitch. I have also reported the issue on the quiz, but there was no response. I couldn't move on with the course and it's been a month now. I'm highly dissapointed

I didn't want this course!!! I clicked on it and it automatically added to my course. Your help menu is helpless!!! Click on the 3 dots does not give me the option to drop the course I didn't want to begin with. It brought me to this screen to rate that course that I never wanted or started.

Done with Coursera!!!!

¿Cómo puedo saber dónde está la materia de la clase? Es frustrante tener que enfrentarse a un cuestionario, que además no puede dejarse sin resolver, sin tener materia concreta del curso. ¿Cómo puedo abandonar esta clase? Prefiero ver otras opciones.

Be prepared to be forced to purchase Excel. YOU CANNOT USE EXCEL ONLINE. The first week of "learning" is made up of "subscribe to my youtube channel" and a graded quiz that is literally only typing in "I love excel" this course is a joke, right?

The course is very good but the assignment questions are difficult to understand.

If I knew what you wanted, I can easily answer the questions as I am very proficient in Excel..

For this reason, I am not opting out.

I am leaving this course - not basic enough for me

The instructor although very knowledgeable is not suitable for me and my learning style

I will try another excel course -

Thank you for the experience

The instructor was very difficult to follow. There are errors in the lectures that are only corrected in the video on the screen, not in the "reading material", and there is no mention of it.

I'm being coerced into paying money which I don't want to do - It's supposed to be a 7 day free trial but you can't access all the resources unless you pay for a certificate.

I can't access either the video or the course itself, even if I paid for a week's trial, and I can't tell how to contact support over this.

Ridiculously difficult and extremely problematic on Macbooks. Absolutely NOT RECOMMENDED for people planning to learn Excel casually.
