Data Visualization with Advanced Excel

bad quality

First of, PowerPivot is not available on Mac which was not made known from the start of the course. If this course is going to use PowerPivot (a feature unavailable on Mac), it should have been stated the pre-requisites. Unresponsive instructors - students are troubleshooting and speaking amongst ourselves. Many threads are left without any replies at all, most were common issues. Some threads are as old as 3 years ago and still without replies from the instructors. I understand there is a lot of thread to go through but it is an expectation that tutors reply to most (if not, all) threads similar to course expectations on other platforms like Udemy. The course content sequence is illogical - Why is the student workbook section comes before the video section explaining the instructor's exercises? If that is the plan then you should have included instructions telling students to watch the rest of the videos before attempting the exercise. Also, answer sheet errors and incorrect answers should be rectified ASAP because it is very misleading for students (especially those newer to the subject matter) to understand whether they are getting the correct answer or not i.e. Week 1 Pivot 3b. There is a thread about this issue from 3 YEARS AGO and the answer sheet is still not revised.

The information provided within is very useful and laid out with helpful tools, however it relies entirely on the PowerPivot function that is not available on a MAC platform, which was not listed in the course description and which made the course totally useless for my needs.

Для самых маленьких

The course covers a lot on Power Pivot of Excel, yet MS has a long list of Excel versions that do not have access to Power Pivot funciton. The instructor does not offer any guidance on this, not does anybody try to solve the problem in forum. Have to skip the course.

A lot of the functions are outdated and due to the countless versions of Excel that are now available, not all of the different functions necessary to do this course are not potentially plausible.

Moves too quickly and doesn't give an idea of what you're really trying to accomplish. Dashboards are fantastic, but I think this needs a more hands-on touch.

Some interesting tools were presented, some were a little too mainstream/obvious.

Well structured but a bit too simple.

An insightful course that introduces the student to some key tools of excel and helps understand the utility and applicability of the software. Certain demonstrations are sketchy and tend to being a tad bit superfluous. I would have liked some more practice material or at least a reference to where quality practice spreadsheets can be found. Nonetheless, I benefited from the course and would recommend it to anyone initiating herself towards excel.

I expected something about VBA
