This is an excellent course! The instructions are clear, the examples are spot on and the level of difficulty is accurate. I consider myself an advanced Excel user and I am familiar with most of the tools taught in this course but I still found the course immensely useful. I highly recommend the course.

This course has opened my mind to new possibilities of automation. VBA is such a lifesaver when it comes to automating repeated processes. The practice challenge test my recently obtained skill to the fullest. The trainers were very knowledgeable and Dr. Prashan will always remind you to "Practice".

I had a great time in this course. The instructors are excellent communicators. The activities are difficult and engaging, particularly the practice challenge. My hesitation about using MS Excel has gone away as a result of this course. I am eager to enroll in the next class in this specialization.

This is by far the best Excel Course that I myself have ever enrolled. I have basic kwnoledge about this shotware but the units are very well thought and so light that make it easy to understand everything. Also because the videos are short they make it easy and come back to revisit the subject.

Muy completo, con una explicación paso a paso y detallada de como utilizar cada una de las funciones de excel. Tiene una forma de explicar que no aburre y hace el curso mucho más llevadero. Sin embargo, recomiendo ver todos los cursos de la especialización para no perderse en ningún instante.

The best course in the specialization up till now. The practice videos are great, and the challenges test you based on the skills learnt. You will get to learn useful skills like Solver, Goal seek, Data Validation, and Macros (basics). Great course if you have intermediate knowledge in Excel.

I loved this course, there are some topics that I think could have been explained better like the VBAs and Macros, but the discussion forum is huge help. The community here is really helpful and kind. So overall I recommend this course to people who have a strong basic knowledge of excel.

Also, the videos are instructors are my best so far on Coursera. They open up your mind on the possible applications of each topic being taught.

This Intermediate II is much more complicated than the intermediate I. I would like to give up to every stage along each week but I eventually go through this specialization, thanks to very clear explanation, discussion forums that are always monitored and given feedback from staffs. :))

These courses are helpful towards learning about Excel tools. The more you practice, the better the outcome. The courses cover a lot of ground, but each lesson builds on the previous courses. It's challenging, but manageable if you follow along and really want to get the most out of it.

Great course and very challenging, therefore very satisfying to complete, thanks a lot!

I would just suggest to add more side resources on VBA language. The use of the relative reference macro vs absolute within the same macro could also have been explained in a more detailled manner.

Its harder than the previous courses and can be mundane or tedious. In the end you have to get through such tasks in real life. Some questions in the graded assignments are slightly vague and it is difficult to figure out what to do sometimes. But if you get the hang of it its easy.

I have a special appreciation for all those modules of the Excel for Business course. It is the first time that I feel interested and fulfilled in learning via an online course. The dynamics of all the modules I've done so far are incredibly clear, objective and easy to understand.
