Kurs jest bardzo interesujący, ponieważ Deborah zwraca uwagę na aspekty, które niekoniecznie są poruszane na innych kursach Excela. Deborah używa zrozumiały język i krok po kroku wyjaśnia, co w danym momencie robi.

Clear explanations by Debby who has a nice voice and manner (tried another course and just quit because the instructor was annoying). The workbooks to download enables lots of practice and Debby gives regular reminders of shortcuts and formulas from prior courses which helps in knowing the best use of them all.

since I haven't taken an excel course in the last 10 years, I was not aware of all of the new functionality. (I thought I knew everything :))
By Davide Pandini on 12/31/2022
The course is well structured and delivers useful information. I'm not sure the content is fully consistent with the definition of advanced. Perhaps a section on VBA is not a good fit for this course, and I would suggest to keep this topic for a dedicated course. Very good the sections on forecasting and Power Query.
By Tricia Terrones on 10/17/2022
I thought I knew Excel really well..but the information and how-to's in this course are absolutely invaluable. Each step is broken down clearly and easy to understand. So many time-saving ideas in this course.
By Ivan Perišić on 5/10/2022
I've really enjoyed going through this course. The instructors appealing voice combined with clear and straight to the point explanation skills makes this course a must have. Recommended. Can't give all 5 stars due to video quality which is currently available in 720p max.
