Course Description

COMPLETELY REDONE IN 2025 WITH NEW VIDEOS, INCLUDING EXCEL 365 AND AI FEATURES!


If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “There has to be a better way to do this,” while using Excel, you were probably right.

With 100+ HD video lessons and downloadable Excel templates, this course will teach you practical, time-saving Excel tips and tricks that can make you faster, more efficient, and more confident in your daily work.

I created this course to help Excel users avoid common spreadsheet frustrations and discover smarter ways to use Excel. When I first started using Excel regularly, I kept thinking, “There has to be a better way.” Over time, I collected the most useful techniques, shortcuts, and productivity tricks—and in this course, I’ve brought them together for you in one place.


You’ll start with some of my favourite Excel hacks that can save you time immediately.

Then I’ll show you how to improve the way you work with the Excel interface, worksheets, workbooks, formulas, dates, charts, PivotTables, formatting, and data organization.

And now, with the newest updates to the course, you’ll also learn how to take advantage of modern Excel 365 features and explore AI tools in Excel to work even smarter. These new lessons will help you understand how today’s Excel is evolving and how AI can support productivity, formula-writing, analysis, and faster spreadsheet workflows.

Want to enter data into multiple worksheets at the same time? No problem.
Want to block users from editing outside a specific range? Easy.
Want to remove duplicate values in seconds? Done.


These practical techniques—plus many more—can save valuable time and increase productivity for you and your organization.

This course is built around short, practical, project-based lessons and does not require prior Excel experience. It has been recorded using Excel 2016 and Excel 365, so you can learn both foundational techniques and newer modern workflows.

If you get stuck, don’t worry. I provide fast and helpful support through the discussion board.

And if the course is not right for you, Udemy offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.


About me

My name is Andreas, and I have been a teacher for over 25 years. I run a computer learning school in Greece and have taught Excel to more than 3,000 students. Because I use Excel every day, I’ve had to discover faster and better ways to get things done. That’s why I created this collection of powerful Excel tips, modern workflows, and practical techniques.


By the end of this course, you’ll be able to complete many of your spreadsheet tasks in far less time, improve your Excel confidence, and understand both classic Excel methods and newer Excel 365 and AI-enhanced tools.

Thanks for your interest in the course. I’m excited to share it with you.

Instructor Details

Andreas Exadaktylos

Hi, I'm Andreas — and over the past 20 years I've taught Microsoft Excel, Python and the full Microsoft Office suite to more than 80,000 students here on Udemy, who've left over 20,000 reviews.

My approach is simple: short, practical lessons built around real tasks, not theory. You'll open a spreadsheet, follow along, and finish each section able to do something you couldn't do before. No filler, no jargon.

I hold a Master's Degree in Computer Science and a Degree in Electronic Engineering.

Since 2001 I've run Futurekids, my own computer learning school, and I'm the founder of Mellon Training, an online video learning platform. That mix of classroom teaching and software work is what shapes every course I build — I know where learners get stuck, because I've watched it happen in person for two decades.

I live on Rodos, a Greek island, with my family, two kids and a very patient dog. When I'm not recording, I'm usually travelling or reading.

If you get stuck in one of my courses, post in the Q&A — I answer personally.

Very Good course made by Andreas and very useful Tips not only for Beginners most of them are much helpful/useful for Virtuoso's as well who have been using Excel for ages. Sincere Thanks, Vijay

By Matthew Oberg on 8/11/2020

EDITED: For General users you will get quite a bit of useful tricks. More advanced users may only find a few elements overall from the 3 hour course. However if you are going to be a heavy Excel user for analysis (Stats and finance) with little Excel knowledge you will benefit greatly. The topics are demonstrated quickly and efficiently within the examples and the presenter gives a brief overview of what the tip/trick is and its general use. NOTE: INTERMEDIATE USERS WILL PROBABLY NOT BENEFIT FROM MOST (60%+) SO GET A MORE ADVANCED COURSE IF YOU HAVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE GENERAL FUNCTIONS, BUTTON FUCNTIONS AND NESTED 'IF' FORMULAS

The content is good and the instructor seems pretty knowledgeable, however, sometimes the video appears really blurred while the subtitles are clearly visible. Also, the subtitles are not coming up in the appropriate manner - the instructor is talking about something else while the subtitles are mentioning some random words which are completely unrelated.

By Joanna R on 5/22/2020

I have learned quite a lot of shortcuts and hacks in excel that I didn't know about. The only things I was missing from this course is some kind of notes that I could refer to if I needed to, but that's not something that can be hold against this course. I do agree with other comments on speed and accent but this can be overcomed by choosing a lower speed of your video, I adjusted it only handful of times, so that's not a big issue. Overall I learned a lot and if I had to buy it again I would. The content of the course is very informative and the whole course is helpful, I am very happy with the purchase. Thank you Andreas for sharing your knowledge, I definitely benefited from these tutorials.

By Porter Lewis on 8/13/2019

Really enjoying the little tips. Great and very useful stuff! I'm really enjoying this course. Lots of stuff I should know that I have not been introduced to before. Very, very helpful. Thanks

By Luz Garay on 11/23/2015

I liked that this course moved pretty quickly and had the 'bite-sized' videos. Great tips from the instructor. I have taken two other courses and was very satisfied with those as well. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to strengthen their Excel skills.

By Miguel S on 11/19/2015

There are so many hacks in this course that can do your work with Excel easy and fun. I use Excel almost every day and I didn't knew many of these tricks. I recommend to watch the course to the end. Great job Andreas!

By Tom Tom on 11/8/2015

I use Excel daily. So I'm an advanced user. I was surprised how many tips I didn't know. Everything was very well presented and very easy to learn. Great job from the Instructor. I'll take his other courses too!
