I found the course interesting and a good starting point for Power Pivot, Query, and DAX. The pace was reasonable, the information not overwhelming. Feel I am ready for a more complex course based on this information. Only reason I would not give this five stars is that I had a lot of trouble with the interviews. Even on two different networks, both hardwired, I could not keep the interviews loaded. They buffered and cut out. Maybe it was Udemy? Either way it was the only criticism I had for the course.

The explanation is clear with correct tone. Confident and not rush, which gives time to understand and follow. Great job.

This course was very well presented and easy to follow. The explanations were clear and well organised, which made difficult topics easy to understand. The tutor was excellent and clearly passionate about teaching. Highly recommended.

I am enjoying this course. I am learning things in Excel I never knew how to do. I am learning things I did not know could be done in excel. It's a well-designed course.

It was a good training to start on power query, power pivot and DAX. The topic is very broad, but the training was well structured to provide a initial glance on the resources.
By Udemy User on 10/19/2025
The course was good, but there weren't any instances where you were really tasked with working on data yourself besides the assignment and going along with the course
By Isabella Mahal on 8/26/2025
This course has taught me a lot about the Power BI set of tools in Excel. I really appreciated all the information at the beginning about when each tool was relevant to use. The instructor worked at a great pace and was very clear about his steps, which allowed me to follow along in my own Excel file. This helped the information stick in my head. The audio was very clear and all visuals that I needed were on screen. I am very appreciative of this course!

I was not expecting much from this course although I know I have to get to grips with the subject of Power Query/Pivot and DAX . So I wanted a fairly, short overview and expected it to be rather dull. But this has been very focused and clear so far and I am looking forward to the rest of it.

Great Course for Building a Strong Excel Data Analysis Foundation I really enjoyed this course! The lessons were well-structured and easy to follow, even for someone like me who is still growing in data analytics. I especially appreciated the hands-on approach to working with Power Query, Power Pivot and DAX — it made complex concepts feel very approachable. The examples were practical and I now feel much more confident in importing, cleaning and modeling data in Excel. It would be great to see more real-world case studies or mini-projects added to apply all the skills in a business context. Overall, this course is a valuable resource and I’d recommend it to anyone looking to upskill in Excel for data analysis. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
