This is a great way to learn Excel Simplified so far, I feel most of the other courses I have tried go into too much depth when first starting out. I am only a few lessons in, but this is a great refresher so far.

Excellent teaching methodology of instructing to the finish line. If you're experience in any of these lessons fast forward to your interest of the lesson.

Excellent cours, j'ai beaucoup appris. J'aurais aimé qu'on aborde les timelines mais ça n'enlève rien à la qualité du cours.

The graphics are not always coinciding with the moderator's speech. Also, the demonstration is on an earlier version of Excel than what I have and the functions are a bit different. The version being used as an example should be called out in the title of the program.

Me encantó! Super claro y fácil de seguir. Y me encantó que habían funcionalidades que no me recordaba cómo usar, así que el tener un repaso previo a pasar a la parte del Dashboard (de fórmulas y herramientas) me sirvió muchísimo!
