I have used the Excel 2021 / Office 365 to record these videos. Almost everything covered in this course will work for all the Excel versions (2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 & Office 365).

IS THIS ONLINE EXCEL COURSE FOR BEGINNERS ONLY?

This Complete Excel Course is for two types of people:

1. Excel beginners, i.e. anyone looking to learn Excel from scratch

2. Excel intermediate and Excel advanced users who want to make sure their skills cover all the essentials. This includes many Excel tricks and hidden features few data analysts know of.

The Excel Essentials for the Real World Course covers ALL the fundamentals an Excel beginner needs to know. BUT it also fills in the gaps for Excel Intermediate and Advanced users. It's for corporate professionals who feel comfortable with Excel but not 100% confident.

This is more than an Excel Basics Course. It starts off easy and adds in tips and tricks many Excel advanced users don't know of.
