About the Course

"Everyday Excel, Part 1" is aimed at learners who are seeking to learn Excel from the ground up. No experience with Excel is necessary. While this course is meant for beginners of Excel, advanced users will undoubtedly pick up new skills and tools. This course is the first part of a three-part series and Specialization that focuses on teaching introductory through very advanced techniques and tools in Excel. In this course (Part 1), you will: 1) learn how to effectively navigate around the Excel environment; 2) edit and format Excel worksheets; 3) implement basic to advanced Excel functions (including financial, logical, and text functions); 4) learn how to manage data sets (filter, remove duplicates, consolidate data, sort data, and validate data); and 5) learn how to effectively visualize data through scatterplots, column charts, and pie charts. New to Excel? That is entirely fine! This course is meant to be fun, thought-provoking, and appeal to a wide audience. No prior knowledge in programming nor advanced math skills are necessary. The course is organized into 5 Weeks (modules). To pass each module, you'll need to pass a mastery quiz and complete a problem solving assignment. This course is unique in that the weekly assignments are completed in-application (i.e., on your own computer in Excel), providing you with valuable hands-on training....

That was extremely helpful, I liked it so much, I liked everything about it from the breaking down of new subjects, literally someone with zero experience in excel can understand and use these things

Very good introduction or refresher in the basics of Excel. A few updates would be necessary, after the release of Office 2021.

If the training is to be improved, it would certainly benefit from additional interaction (exercises, assgnements, etc.) and from a prepared summary of the specific features, functions, etc for each week. they would be extremely useful to reinforce the skills and the abilitis for those us who do not have the opportunity to practise everythig right after the course.

You need to pay attention to or take notes on absolutely everything in the course because the semingly insignificant details have a tendency to show up in the quizes and assignments.

I found this course difficult. It is harder than what I thought a "beginner" level would be. I was able to complete it, and learned things far above what I ever thought I would. It seems to move quickly....so hopefully I am able to retain it. Some written notes would have been super helpful....example - to list formulas, when they are used, and what arguements are in each - with a general description.

For basic excel users i think this course is way to advance for them. There were many times where i was lost because i felt a few steps were missed in the screen casts. I had to watch most of the videos over a few times to semi understand everything.

Pros: Good content, very useful Highlighted cells during the actual course was a plus Instructor voice was NOT boring Meaningful examples and exercises Cons: The course title is incorrect. It is not EverydayExcel Part 1, but rather Advanced Excel Part 1!! The weekly files did not include all of the excel files used in the screencasts. It might have been better to have one workbook for each week rather than tens of Excel files. It took a long time to close one, open another, and then return to the first one after only a few minutes! There are too many screencasts, while some could be combined into one. When trying to find the appropriate content for review, the title of the screencast was not helpful. Perhaps a few function names in the title would have been useful and would have made the search easier. There was no summary slide available as a pdf at the end of each section or week, nor was there any  summary slides of the functions covered. The pace is too quick for this level of course. Not suitable for beginners. The exercises were much more difficult than the actual class examples. In fact, other appropriate usage of the same functions were not taught in class at all, but it was needed to solve the assignments. No appropriate hint in assignments toward the end of the course. There were some in week 1 and 2 I believe. The quiz pictures were difficult to follow; there was no way to see the question and check a, b, c, d answers. Scrolling up and down was both time consuming and perplexing. Tables in the quizzes could not be copied and pasted into a spreadsheet to aid in calculations. I had to manually copy! If it wasn't supposed to be that way, the answers would have been too difficult to obtain with just a pen and paper. The incorrect answer and the rest of the choices given in the question were not included in the quiz answer/review pages, so the reader could see the full questions and answers. I had to switch back and forth between the feedback page and answers review page.

I knew excel coming into this course. This is not a beginner course. This is not for business people. If you already know excel and are a math, science or engineering person, this might be a good fit for you.

I would recommend trying another Excel course if you are a beginner / mew to excel or just want to use it for business purposes.

Generally a good course unless you have a problem with an assignment and ask for help. I had trouble with a few assignments but even after asking for help from the teacher, coursera itself or the discussion group I NEVER received a reply. If you don't have anyone around you who has a knowledge of Excel you're basically screwed.
