    A little less content than expected but the title does say it's just an intro plus it's free. The explanations are clear and the course is quite engaging. The Coursera platform is very user-friendly.

    The course was very good for somebody who are experimenting with Microsoft office software for the first time. The instructor explains all the basics like changing font, the ribbons, etc. But in general, this course is a good option to start with the Excel, especially according to its time taking.

    Thanks!

    It was quite helpful, especially revealing the keyboard shortcuts and formulas that can be used in entering and computing data on Excel sheets. I didn't also know one could create a free Microsoft office account before the course. It's a nice experience.

    Whilst this was a clear, well presented intro to Excel, the video could have been 10 mins, not 30. It wastes time explaining how to save a file, and how to change fonts, which is something everyone doing this course knows how to do.

    Great beginner course you dive straight into the fundamentals of your first workbook. This is not a course that teaches you how to calculate data through formulas this is more of a course to teach you how to navigate Excel.

    This is very easy to follow and complete. The only reason I did not give a 5-star rating is that the cloud feature did not work for me. I had to find free Microsoft Office on my own and tab back and forth.

    This is a very basic introduction to how to use Excel. If you are already familiar with using formulas in Excel then you do not really need this course. It is still a good course for beginners.

    You learned what they tought - but it could have been taught in a 5 min video that was straight to the point instead of in the 30 min it took for me to jump through all these hoops.

    The course was very basic. I think it was ok, but kind of felt like it left me hanging as far as going further. But! maybe there is other courses to take after that one.

    I could not get my column to produce a total. My cursor was a little slow with the follow along concept. Overall a good instruction video for the basics of Excel.

    Very easy but helpful if it is the first time you use Excel. There are some things which could be done way faster but for beginners I recommend it.

    For a beginner, this is a well-designed short guided prpoject !

    I suggest to let the learner know at least some basic formulae (sum / average ..)

    This was a very good and engaging start to learning Microsoft Excel. However, I definitely recommend having Excel preinstalled on your PC or MAC.
