    About the Course

    In an age now driven by "big data", we need to cut through the noise and present key information in a way that can be quickly consumed and
    acted upon making data visualization an increasingly important skill. Visualizations need to not only present data in an easy to understand and
    attractive way, but they must also provide context for the data, tell a story, achieving that fine balance between form and function. Excel has
    many rivals in this space, but it is still an excellent choice, particularly if it's where your data resides. It offers a wealth of tools for creating
    visualizations other than charts and the chart options available are constantly increasing and improving, so the newer version...

    As usual, course material and instructors methods in teaching are more than perfect.

    It was so useful material, the same as the previous courses and specialization.

    I can't wait to enroll in the last course of this specialization. Thank you so much.

    The Data Visualization in Excel course was incredibly helpful and well-structured. The instructor was knowledgeable and effective in teaching the material, and the exercises provided ample opportunity to put the skills into practice. The course covered a wide range of topics, including creating charts and graphs, using PivotTables and slicers, and building interactive dashboards. I appreciated the emphasis on using real-world data and showcasing creativity, which made the course both engaging and practical. Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their data visualization skills in Excel.

    It is a challenging course since you have to understand different tools, and it can be difficult to grasp at first. The class is divided into five weeks, each focusing on different topics and with a test at the end of week 2 and 4. At the end of week 5, you have to take the final on all course topics. I think that helps reduce the pressure and also ensures you understand each topic well. There is also homework every week which prepares you for tests. I really like Professor Karunaratne's teaching style. He's good at keeping you engaged and explaining things. You can also use the course forum to answer questions, and I think that is quite helpful.

    I rarely write reviews because the majority of courses are not challenging enough for me, but this course is an exception. Despite having advanced knowledge of excel as I use it every day for work/studies I learned a lot during this course. The material was presented in a very good format with the info straight to the point. I feel no minute of this course has been repetitive and it consisted of only useful info. The case studies are very interesting and challenging. I definitely recommend it and will take another course from these uni/tutors for sure! Thanks!

    This course is a must for data analyst beginners. The concepts are explained in detail and in comprehensible way. The instructors are very knowledgeable and explain the concepts clearly and concisely, using real-world examples to illustrate how Excel can be used to analyze data. The pivot chart session are really helpful in practical application of data analysis. Additionally, the course materials are well-organized and easy to follow, making it easy to review and reference content as needed.

    P.S. loved the solar panel joke !!

    I loved this course. Both instructors are very clear and engaging and the learning materials are excellent.

    Completing this course has helped me to cement my existing, largely self-taught Excel data visualisation skills and given me lots of ideas for exciting new things to try as and when opportunities arise.

    Thank you Nicky and Prashan for a very enjoyable 5 weeks!

    Never Had such high quality excel course, even in the university. very good !

    To my taste it lacks a bit of in detail in some of the subjects like:

    1.How to Select Data source when creating different charts (Excel got smart but sometimes It doesn't pick the data like you need) ,different charts have different ways selecting the Data source.(which is X-axis and which is the y-axis ?) what is a series ? is it numbers ?including the heading ?

    It's not even mentioned in the course, How it's like to insert a Blank chart and then assign the data source (very difficult)

    2. Macros are explained pretty good, how to record, how it works in the background

    Unfortunately it's only explained for specific actions needed to be automated in the sheet

    Using Macros to format sheets isn't explained (how do I do that?),for example:

    In creating the Dashboard tiles, how do you make a macro to round the edges of all the tiles? do you record doing it for one tile and then apply to whole sheet? to which do you assign the Macro to ?
