+ Good explanations + Helpful progression and step-by-step teaching - Some lessons can easily be skipped, without any loss of understanding - Others are maybe too basic and could be avoided - Audio quality could be improved by removing some non-speaking noises
By Pushkraj Jahagirdar on 7/12/2021
Overall Course is Good. Not recommended for Working professionals who have been using Excel for quite some time. But definitely for someone who has just started with Excel. Can Skip the first lectures. Basic stuff. Overall okay. Last few sections are worth watching. Thank you. Learnt a few more things. P.S While informing various options and function should also provide shortcut keys for the same. Easier to process and takes less amount of time rather scrolling cursor and moving around and clicking several times.
