About the Course

By the end of this project, you will learn how to create an Excel Spreadsheet by using a free version of Microsoft Office Excel. Excel is a spreadsheet that works like a database. It consists of individual cells that can be used to build functions, formulas, tables, and graphs that easily organize and analyze large amounts of information and data. Excel is organized into rows (represented by numbers) and columns (represented by letters) that contain your information. This format allows you to present large amounts of information and data in a concise and easy to follow format. Microsoft Excel is the most widely used software within the business community. Whether it is bankers or accountants or business analysts or marketing professionals or scientists or entrepreneurs, almost all professionals use Excel on a consistent basis. You will learn what an Excel Spreadsheet is, why we use it and the most important keyboard shortcuts, functions, and basic formulas....

I find this guided course extremely important especially to people who wants to start learning Excel. It is simple, easy to follow, and the hands on desk make more interesting.

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.

I am satisfied because everything explained was done beautifully. The pace of speaking was very appropriate for myself, not being a native English speaker, to comprehend. But this also seemed to me very basic because I have worked in MS Word and Powerpoint before but i didn't know Excel other than the formatting that is a mutual feature in Word and Powerpoint. I think that the formulas, being significant feature of Excel were not given more attention. For example what to do if we have, let's say at least 100 rows of data or even 50, should you expect us to click on each of the 50 or 100 cells and also press + sign every time. This would be very in-efficient. I think that should've been explained. Regardless, I think this is a very basic course and it is for people who start learning with no experience of using any Microsoft programs and it is a very well-structured and well composed one too. I give it a 4.5 rating. Thanks.
