The exercise files were corrupt and there isn't any help available.

I took another course that was written for P.C. in a school that I'm studying law at. It was a night mare to attempt to translate everything from one formatting style to another live. This Excel for beginners has covered areas that were insufficiently covered in the other module company.
By Barbara Burkhardt on 4/27/2022
This lady is fantastic. To the point and explains everything clearly. Very happy with her.
By Cheryl Smith-wright on 8/16/2021
Brilliant and helpful course, starting from the beginning with all the things you are afraid to ask, then building up. I learned a lot and have downloaded most of this so I can do refreshers.
By Mohsin Raja on 3/2/2021
Wonderful way of teaching by the instructor, professionalism drips from beginning to end! Loved the course value to money.
By Sheila Wilson on 12/5/2020
Very interesting. She knows Excel inside and out. She seems to tell you all the details needed to successfully format, etc. and has suggestions for how to use these functions in the real world.
By Katie Huff on 9/15/2020
Looking back, this definitely introduces some beyond beginner concepts, but I never felt overwhelmed by the difficulty of the information!
By David Coutts on 5/2/2020
YES - It was very interesting , but some funny things went on ? I use Microsoft 365 and some of my Ribbon Menu's were different than those shown in the course - I am up to date for today - 02.05.2020 - maybe a Microsoft thing - But course was excellent and interesting - Teacher Deb was most certainly very knowledgeable She should also do an OUTLOOK course for Mac
By Sandra Dirckes on 3/25/2020
Very good course, super easy explanations. The course is really what I was looking for.
By Lisa Sands on 3/22/2020
excellent! I enjoyed your voice and instructions were easy to follow, although I am going to run thru the course again as I had no prior excel knowledge. You made it enjoyable.
