This was an excellent course, taught by an instructor with an outstanding lesson plan. I was able to comprehend Charlie's videos, which were clearly explained, and the instructions were relatively easy to follow. The course allowed me to make mistakes and to learn from those mistakes, which enhanced my understanding of the course material. The quizzes and tests offered just the right amount of challenge for a beginning Excel course without being overwhelming. Anyone serious about learning Excel will definitely benefit from this course. I am excited about continuing with the second Excel course after taking a day or two break from studying.

Hi! I‘m ABC. I am from Pakistan (Asia), and I’m a freelancer. When I decided to learn Excel Specialization (All 3 parts) with professor Charlie Nuttelman, I learned a lot of new things about the Excel which I couldn’t at my university. Due to this course, I completed freelancing projects which satisfied my client and received more projects. It increased my skills regarding tasks in Excel. I am grateful to professor Charlie because his courses are challenging but not impossible to complete. Which made me understand how to program and be aware that the world of technology is a good opportunity.

For me, that is my learning style, is was beyond challenging I mean the lesson's started out as a G rated event but while I was working on them they quickly were turning into an X rated event. Excuse me, I wasn't throwing anything around except profanities but after several rereadings of the required information and rethinking how I could approach the answer based on the screencasts I got them done. I did though enjoyed very much all lessons that had to do with graphing and pivot tables, slicers and those sorts of things, they came easy to me.

I learned a lot of new things. More then i ever learned in the office the past 15 years as I never had to use it. However if i knew some of these tricks I learned my work could have been more efficient and faster. I used to do so many things "manually" row by row. I did struggle with the algebra part and putting it into Excel syntax. It has been 20 years ago i did algebra! I really enjoyed the set up of the course and great professor. Additionally I could do it at my own pace. My first Coursera course and impressed. Thank you Mr. Nuttelman.

I was auditing this course to learn a bit more about Excel. Some of it was beyond my needs and capabilities but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The course was well planned and Charlie Nuttelman is an excellent presenter who, in a relaxed way, was able to make difficult topics interesting and fun to learn about. His students are lucky.

After auditing the course, I registered to take it. The assignments were quite a struggle but learned a lot along the way and have just completed it. As per above, would give full marks to the teacher!

Thank you for The Coursera Team and Charlie Nuttelman. I really appreciate your hard work, help and giving people an opportunity to learn what they are interested in or needed to be better at their current or future job. Unfortunately, some functions which were thought only available in the latest versions of Excel 2019 and Excel 365 which means if you have earlier versions of excel you cannot use those useful functions, despite this, the course was absolutely informative, challenging and interesting. Thank you!

Although I have used Excel for years and even earned Microsoft Office Specialist Certification in Excel 2010, I still learned a lot from this course. The very updated information, i.e. introduction about new functions in Office 365, helps me save a lot of time in tasks that I used to process by older version of Excel (e.g. CONCATENATE function).

For people totally new to Excel, some might feel the course content a bit overwhelming at first; but keep learning and your Excel skills will significantly improve.

I started this course with very little understanding of Microsoft Excel and its applications. Dr. Nuttelman's course was very logical, well presented and provided me with a solid foundation for Excel. The questions and quized reinforced understanding of the material - the questions were challenging and I felt a sense of accomplishment upon completion.

Really great course -I'm looking forward to his other courses in the excel pathway and I'm looking forward to applying what I've learned.

Much appreciated.

Wow! I'm a Pro member and I'm taking a bunch of courses and certifications/specializations on Coursera, and this is definitely the best so far! I arrogantly thought I knew how to use Excel at a basic level so I was just planning to fly through this course and hope to learn more advanced stuff in the other courses in the specialization, but I was so wrong! The presentation was excellent - simple, yet very informative. And the assignments were done very well. I can't recommend this course enough.

A good course. I have no grade in Math or English and my Excel experience was most with sorting and management of different lists. In the course I was forced to enter the "dark side" with some math, finance stuff etc. No problem, the educational style is very logic and explanatory. You will note that the professor spent many hours constructing the course, with a good result. Some assignments were a bit difficult but was always manageable. A good start for someone who will learn about Excel.

This course is the gem of Coursera. I had already taken a basic introductory course by Lynda.com but I got to learn so much form this course. The questions , the quizzes and the assignment are top notch. You can't pass any test without having a deeper understanding of the topic. And this is what set apart this course from other courses. Hats off to Charlie Nuttelman, the instructor of this course, for his creative approach in every assignment and quizzes. I'm glad that I took this course.

Very well presented, clear instructions, and pleasant to listen to. Very practical skillset to have, and this course is a great, comprehensive start in Excel as far as I know! Macro-enabled assignments were really fun, and I learned an incredible amount. I will be returning to my notes from this course for many Excel-related professional/personal projects in the future. Got to teach my Excel-proficient engineer dad a few new tidbits, as well :). Can't wait to continue the specialization!

Charlie is a great teacher and I loved the course from the very beginning. Even though I thought I had solid basics in Excel, I was open to re-learn stuff because I knew there could things worth learning, as basic as they may seem.

This course did not disappoint and it actually surprised me with the number of things I did not know about and that I could make my life way easier with simpler ways to create tables and make them dynamic. I recommend this course 100% to absolutely everyone.

Tough and thorough. There's a lot of info to go over and remember. You will reuse info from earlier weeks in the later weeks. Definitely use the extras the teacher gives to play around with the functions and formulas. There are some things that you need to pick up and realize on your own (critical thinking), but that is best to learn with! It gets a bit fast paced in the last two weeks, I found myself replaying videos over several times to see what was happening.

Until this course I had used Excel a little for graph plotting and simple calculation. I have never realized hoe poerful Excel can be as tool. This course details the important basic functions of Excel, which sets the requirements to carry out complicated tasks in further courses in the series. Instructor Charlie Nuttleman has done wonderful job in creating the contents as well as assignments. If you want to learn Excel or expand your knowledge in Excel, go for it!

Amazing course for beginners. It's super well done and it gives you an overview of all basic functions of excel. You can set subtitles in different languages if needed. It is really visual and practical. The assignments are tricky but they help you learn even more and consolidate the knowledge acquired. I just found a bug starting week 3 where I couldn't select the answers in the "optional" questions along the videos. Overall I'm really happy I took this course.

What an excellent course! It was very engaging and I found Charlie to be very easy to follow. I appreciated being able to follow along and the fact that he dove deep into the reasons behind using the certain functions. I use Excel a fair amount but I know it's a use it or lose it type of program. I do feel that the notes I was able to capture and the work we did on the assignments will give me a good reference point if I do not use it enough. Excited for Part 2!

Thank you, Charlie! I did this course because my skills are much better with the other Microsoft Office apps. Then, while I was completing Weeks 4 and 5 of the course, I suddenly had to manage a large spreadsheet of data on about 800 students (this has nothing to do with my normal teaching job), and all the things we were learning on the course came in useful for quickly managing the data, and reporting on all the different things I was asked to report on.

Very challenging but I learned a lot. Very well laid out course. Screencasts are very informative and encourage you to work alongside them. This is not a passive experience with a lazy quiz at the end. If you make mistakes you are told why. You are reminded what you are trying to do and what sort of process you should be using to solve the problem. Some of the assignments had me tearing my hair out but I certainly learned a lot. A very recommended course.

Dammmn, this is my first online course certificate , after using coursera for 2 years. ufff,i learnt a lot in this course. from being scared about working with excel to the point of being comfortable with knowing it has been a childhood dream. i am very grateful to the community for letting me study the course for free, I liked Charlie's teaching and the course's assignments were not stressful. looking forward to completing the entire specialisation

Great intro to Excel. It could be updated, but I'd like to know if there is any incentive from Courersa to do that. Functions like =TEXTAFTER() and =TEXTBEFORE() are excellent, and I assume newer because they aren't in this course. Still, the pacing was fantastic, the content relevant, and the instruction was straightforward. All topics were taught with easy-to-follow steps, and it gave reasons for everything talked about. A well-done course

I thanks to Charlie Nuttelman for considering my application and allowing me to enter me into his class ending with an awesome certificate which is going to count in my carreer growth. He is an excellent tutor who tough the day today use of excel in an organisation including various aspect of excel. It's definitely gonna push me to next level with the skills he tought and certificate he provided. A big thanks again to Charlie Nuttelman

I had a lot of fun while I participated on this course. The teacher has quality videos that are helpful for begginers at Excel, also he orginises classes in a way that advanced students get involved and don't feel bored .You need to anwer questions during the video and the range of things you learn is quite big making the course complete. I fully recommend the course to anyone that want to improve skills at Microsoft Excel

This was very educational. I learned a lot more about Excel compared to before I took this course. The assignments were challenging and can get frustrating when you can't find the solution, but once you figure it out it is very satisfying. In my opinion, you just need a lot of practice in these techniques to excel yourself with the software (no pun intended, haha) Thank you professor Nuttelman for providing this course.

I enrolled in Professor Charlie Nuttelman's Excel course with little prior knowledge, but I'm delighted with the results. The instructions were excellent, offering clarity and a straightforward approach. Professor Nuttelman's onscreen indicators were especially helpful, guiding me through each lesson seamlessly. Thanks to his teaching style, I've overcome my apprehensions about Excel and feel confident using it now.
