By Ghanshyam Kumar on 6/18/2026
This course was well-structured, easy to follow, and provided practical knowledge that I can apply in real-world scenarios. The explanations were clear, the examples were relevant, and the instructor presented the concepts effectively. I especially appreciated the hands-on exercises and the step-by-step approach to learning. Overall, this course exceeded my expectations and was a great learning experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to build or improve their skills in this subject.

My experience with the Data Analyst Toolbox has been very useful and practical. It helped me understand how different tools work together in real-world data analysis. I learned the importance of data cleaning and preprocessing, which is the first and most important step in analysis. Tools like Excel and SQL made it easier to handle structured data, while Python helped in performing deeper analysis and automation.

Before taking the course I read some reviews which were saying that PowerBI section is not laid out clearly. I have just completed the PowerBI section and learned lot of valuable skills and found that these reviews were not justified. I will recommend honestly that this course is laid out in a very clear way and you will get full value for your purchase.
By Andreas Stoll on 10/17/2024
I'm just impressed. Deb Ashly and Alan Murray have done a fantastic job explaining the Power query, pivot and BI, demoing important elements and its details, concise and crisp. And yes, Power BI has changed a lot since 2020. I was very curious to get to know Python too. To what extend can it replace excel, is it complementary in any way? Jarret Retz has done the maximum, also by using sites like repl.it and explaining how to get Python running on the the laptop. The course is easy to follow and understand. However for me Python is a different animal and I do not intend to grow into this world of new classes, objects and methods anytime soon. Thanks to the Simon Sez team for this fantastic course.

It have been a wonderful journey of gaining knowledge and skills of power BI and Excel. Ive learnt tons of new information which i believe will be very helpful for me for finding jobs. The pace is quite slow for me but i use the speed button to make the pace a bit more fast which suits me well. overall i am loving the lesson and cant wait to finish them up.
By Renata de Souza Ferreira on 4/19/2023
Adorei a parte de tabelas dinâmicas avançadas e gostei bastante da parte de Power Query, Power Pivot, Dax e Power BI, mas achei que o curso se perdeu quando falou de Python (embora tenha sido legal revisar a parte básica). Confesso que não assisti a parte de Alteryx, por estar mais interessada em Power BI.
By Hagop Boudakian on 4/18/2023
Even tough I learned several new things from the course, overall the course was a disappointment. The Excel & Pivot Tables was average for me, Power BI & Alteryx were the most interesting parts. The Greatest Disappointment was the Python Part. I literally didn't learn anything in this module. The entire course seemed to have been hastily prepared appending several subjects together to give the impression of Value but it fails to deliver. There are much better courses, and It would be best to take a more targeted approach to specific subjects rather than a mashup of several subjects
By Ricardo Rocha Ferreira on 3/16/2023
It's a good course, it was explained step by step for easy understanding. The quality of the videos is excellent in Full HD which helps see all the data on Excel. The Python course is good for beginners, but the final project could be available for download.
By Chris Darmanin on 2/10/2022
It didn't say anything in the course preview about this Alteryx course. It's nice to have, but some notice on it would've helped. Some of the material was missing from the power BI course but I was able to find a link to obtain it. I liked the Excel sections the best and learning about power queries was very helpful. The python course was good but the last project involved many things that were not covered in the lessons.
By Sven Göhner on 12/20/2020
actually everyhing is well structured and presented in a pleasant way. Just that the topic of Power BI and Excel Query is more or less the same. But high probably this isnt to avoid because how i figured out Power BI Desktop is in my opinion till now more or less equal to Query with easier and more detailed kind of visualication tools.
