This course is just amazing for the efforts that has gone into making it self-explanatory for those who are ready to put in those hours. Kudos to both Nicky and Prashan, for the lucid choice of words and, succint verbiage. My sincere gratitude for all the efforts the entire team has put in, to make this available to me.

I am highly motivated to take up remainder of the courses and, look to complete within a much shorter time frame. Appreciate the help and, support.

This is absolutely awesome! I have learned various helpful and practical Excel skills. All lessons are discussed in details, step by step, which makes them much easier to follow. The assignments at the end of every week are of great difficulty that allows you to test your understanding and practice. I will definitely recommend this course for my friends and colleagues. I would also like to thank to Coursera and MacQuarie University for introducing this course!

I have just finished the course with a 100% Grade. This course is very well-designed and it offers plenty of exercises for you to practice the skills. I like how the quizzes show up after every practice video. It helps me check my understanding of the lessons, and reminded me of the points I had failed to catch up. The Excel functions this course introduces are also pretty handy. I would recommend this course to those who want to leverage their Excel skills.

This course was extremely well presented, with clear, concise instruction and practical examples for the topics presented. Although I already had experience with many of the functions and techniques presented in the course, I still learned quite a lot. Over all, I would recommend this course to anyone looking to further their Excel skills, and have a better conceptual basis for both using formulas to solve problems in Excel, and text/data cleaning.

It's like I can truly say that I learned Excel from scratch. I've used excel for years, but I've only done addition and subtraction. Thanks to you, I had the opportunity to experience and learn many functional features. The narration is great, the scenero is great! I felt as if I was working in that company, the scenario based on real events, repetitions and practices reinforce learning. Thanks Macquarie University and Coursera.

Es un curso interactivo, con ejemplos muy bien explicados pero con un nivel avanzado.

Es una herramienta muy util en el campo de aplicación (de la Ingeniería). En lo personal, aprendí a utilizar muchas herramientas que no conocía, pero que me son de mucha utilidad en mi campo profesional.

Doy las gracias a los instructores por hacernos llegar este conocimiento de una manera muy practica.

Mil gracias

I have really learned a lot in this course. I have been using Excel since college and also from my work, but I was surprised as to what I didn't know in Excel. That is why this course is very perfect for users who are only self-taught like me. The instructors are also very articulate in explaining the topics. I love their conversations with each other in the Introduction videos, which makes you really want to learn more.

I have been using Microsoft Excel for a long time. I do most of the things discussed in this course before taking this course. But, I didn't know whether I used the most efficient way. This course takes a defined and calculated approach in building the skill without losing interest or momentum. It is tailored for people from different skill levels. Great spirit from the faculty. Keep up the good work sir and ma'am.

This course has made me realize that I'm still very much a beginner in this area. My Excel reports were horrendous before enrolling in this course. And, to be honest, I'm terrified of using Excel. However, thanks to Nicky and Prashan's detailed and easy-to-understand videos, I've developed a newfound enthusiasm for Excel. Thank you again to Nicky, Prashan, and the Coursera team for all of your help!

The Course was very good, provided in depth discussion about each topic and formulas. The assignments were good and provided much needed practice and revision after each modules. The final assignment was a bit tough though. But overall this course provided a very good foundation of the real world challenges an analyst faces. Data transformation and cleaning was the primary focus of this course.

I have already completed my advanced excel course yet there are formulas and tools I was not aware about . It is a very good course and they have a alot of practise quiz which we need to pass which is actually helpful to know if we understood the concepts they can be quit chanllenging sometimes. Also a laptop is a must if you are opting for this course . overall a course that is worth learning.

The work that’s gone into this course is good. Everything is well thought out , well prepared and expertly presented. The frequent quizzes are very helpful to help retain memory. I was also very happy about the Quick reference guides, A great time saver. The assessments are very challenging but I’m grateful since the challenges helped me to work through blocks and challenges. Great value.

Excellent course. The scope and the quality of information is well chosen, and the presentation is outstanding. There are a few quizzes with key errors here and there, as well as some bugs in the Excel file for the final assessment, which can be frustrating, but I look at it as a part of trouble shooting practice you will end up dealing in the real world as well. Highly recommend.

Great course.

Though I was familiar with Excel and had done my data interpretation and data input on it, I became stunned by its calculation capabilities after taking this fundamental course. I used to think I know Excel but after taking the course, it changed my mind. However, it is a learning process and I am glad that I completed it.

I recommend everyone to take the course.

The teachers are such class acts! I easily followed every lectured and the language used was perfect for anyone. The follow-throughs are easy and the material provided is really helpful. The challenges are my favorite since I can review everything from that week's lecture. Really great to start managing data in Excel. Looking forward to the next course with these teachers.

The course was comprehensive and felt quite intimidating at the end. Although, final assessment was quite challenging but I really enjoyed my time pushing pass my limits and improving my excel skills. The instructor Niki and Parshan did a superb job and explained the excel concepts which otherwise would be difficult to learn. This course is highly recommended.

Muito interessante, é necessário realmente aprender a matéria para passar nos testes. Aprendi muito com as atividades e as tabelas e planilhas são reais, me ajudou e me inspirou a resolver diversos problemas no trabalho. Tenho certeza que ainda vou precisar voltar nas planilhas para relembrar algumas funções, mas com certeza o melhor curso de excel que já fiz!

This is a great course not just for someone has no knowledge in MS Excel at all, but also for someone who already have a knowledge in MS Excel like me. It really helped me gain more knowledge and gave me confidence in using MS Excel. EXCEL FUNDAMENTALS FOR DATA ANALYSIS from MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY is really a good course. Thank you so much to the Professors!

This course helped me a great deal in understanding many of the tools offered by excel to manage, manipulate and analyze data. I am very thankful for the precise and insightful videos and materials. I have learned a lot and I feel I can now do so much more with excel that I am excited to get my hands on the data I have to work on my job and my studies.

The course is very interesting, with clear explanations and useful materials to do it. Each short video (6-8 minutes) has an example that can be followed easily, and if there is a mistake, the material includes the solutions for each short video to avoid mistakes. Strongy recommend this course if someone is interested in learning about MIcrosft Excel.

It was wonderful studying this course. I came to know about various new formulas and functions in Excel. The instructors and instructions were really nice, easy and handy. The quizzes and practice challenges make you more experienced. I plan to take more courses on Excel from Coursera. It is an amazing platform to learn from.

Excellent content, well structured course and highly applicable!

I did the course in two weeks. I needed it urgently to improve some spreadsheets that were taking me ages.

After structuring properly my spreadsheets with the tools I learnt, I have better, and more precise information in minutes not hours.

Highly recommended.

Initially I thought this must be an easy course, but trust me, it’s NOT. You can enroll it even if you’re a beginner, but it’s gonna be really challenging. That’s what I loved about this course. You’ll go deep into this, when solving assessments, which are super challenging. Great job Instructors!! Nicky and Prashan 🎉

I can't recommend this course enough - it's by far the best one I've found on Coursera! The material is comprehensive, the instructor is engaging, and the assessments are challenging but rewarding. If you're looking for a course that will truly help you to learn and grow your Ms Excel skills, this is the one to take!
