The content has been wonderful so far, and I truly appreciate the effort that went into creating it. I’d like to share a few thoughts for Symon and Travis—hopefully these comments can be helpful. I’m taking the course from Germany, and I’ve run into some challenges with the date formats in the exercises. My Excel doesn’t recognize formats like “23 January, 2026” as dates, so they show up as text instead. If possible, it would really help learners in other regions if the dates could be provided in a more universal numeric format (for example 23.01.2026 or 23/01/2026). This small adjustment would make the practice materials even more accessible. I also wanted to share a tip for fellow users of Excel 365: since ribbon layouts and button positions have changed over the years, it makes a big difference to practice each step yourself after every short lesson. The downloadable exercises in each session have been extremely helpful for this, and I’m grateful they’re included. Thank you again for the great course—I’m learning a lot, and I really appreciate the work behind it.
