I have downloaded the zip file with all the sheets. And the first thing I noticed is that they provide raw data and the solution for each excel task which enables you to follow the lecture in practice step by step. I missed that in other courses. That convinced me that they have thought carefully about it. And you get a bunch of material. Which is good. You learn by doing while the devil is in the detail. You are reading and listening to a course and thinks you have understood it but then you are doing it yourself and you think what did he do where do I have to click.

Ashley is much clearer, slower and thus easier to understand than other courses I've tried. I have difficulty with understanding some foreign accents, speed of their speech, pronunciations, etc. It's very distracting to focusing on the content.

very informative course. Deby is very engaging. Her tone and speed of talk is really good for non native english speaker. I strongly recommend this course. but be aware that you will need to reveiw and practice few times each exercice to make it "second nature"

I love that the class took some time to go through resources for designing your dashboard. I am one of those left-brained people and designing it will be a struggle. So, getting some support and suggestions will be super helpful.
By Stephanie Fawcett on 4/5/2023
The course is very good - the instructor is knowledgeable and well-spoken. However, it is 3 years old and the Excel version she uses doesn't align w/my newer version - making it hard to do the exercises. I would recommend updating the course to reflect the current version of Excel.
By Anthony Tica on 3/1/2023
Very useful, will be used regularly. Like seeing how the new features in 365 are used to make things simpler. Enjoyed the personal tips used. The pacing was good. How the sections were broken up was ideal...made it easy to go to the parts I just needed to be refreshed on. Thanks.

Yes it was a prefect match for me. It was touch at the beginning thou, but one only needs to be focus and determine to make it to the end. It seems that way to me I guess because, it was my first time taking up an online course.
By Reeme Mukherjee on 10/25/2022
It was very informative. The way the module has been designed takes you step by step on how to build this interactive dashboard. This helps you to have a clear direction on where to start from and what tips and formulas to practice on for creating the same.
By Donald J on 2/11/2022
It's pretty good so far
By Stephanie Foldy on 8/14/2021
This is a very informative course. It "gets to the point" by not going into unnecessary detail, such as lengthy explanations of how a formula works, but does a good job explaining WHY you should do something a particular way. The instructor assumes a lot of Excel familiarity, so if you are new to Excel, consider a beginner's and even an intermediate course before taking this one. The instructor moves fast, so I found I frequently had to pause and rewind portions of the videos, since I like to follow along doing the same steps.
