Great value for money. Never found anything that gave me all the core skills I needed in Excel to transfer in my day to day work life. Super excited I have everything I need to know on hand when I need it.

I was able to get a lot of useful skills in this course. Especially, the lesson for Lookup functions such as INDIRECT or OFFSET was really nice.Tests were really tough, but now I am very proud of myself finishing this course.It took me more than 5 months to finish all of Excel Skills for Business.It was long time, but what I could get was worth the time, I think.

This course was as advanced and complicated as I expected it to be. However the last 3 weeks made it much more difficult and that was mostly due to the fact that these weeks did not have any practice workbooks. It would have been really helpful if we could have practiced (personally, for me) complicated formulas like OFFSET and INDIRECT outside of what we learnt from the videos. Otherwise, the course was fun and informative and so was the entire Specialization. Thank you :)
