About the Course

Spreadsheet tools like Excel are an essential tool for working with data - whether for data analytics, business, marketing, or research. This course is designed to give you a basic working knowledge of Excel and how to use it for analyzing data. This course is suitable for those who are interested in pursuing a career in data analysis or data science, as well as anyone looking to use Excel for data analysis in their own domain. No prior experience with spreadsheets or coding is required - all you need is a device with a modern web browser and the ability to create a Microsoft account to access Excel online at no cost. If you have a desktop version of Excel, you can also easily follow along with the course. Throughout this course, you'll gain valuable experience working with data sets and spreadsheets. We'll start by introducing you to spreadsheets like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets, and show you how to load data from multiple formats. From there, you'll learn how to perform basic data wrangling and cleansing tasks using functions, and expand your knowledge of data analysis through the use of filtering, sorting, and pivot tables. There is a strong focus on practice and applied learning in this course. With each lab, you'll have the opportunity to manipulate data and gain hands-on experience using Excel. You'll learn how to clean and format your data efficiently, and convert it into a pivot table to make it more organized and readable. The final project will allow you to showcase your newly acquired data analysis skills by working with real data sets and spreadsheets. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation in using Excel for data analysis. You'll have worked with multiple data sets and spreadsheets, and will have the skills and knowledge needed to effectively clean and analyze data without having to learn any code.

The Instructions were really good. As an experienced excel user, they explained the most useful info in a fast and informative way. The Graded quizzes were bad though. Asked questions for things that got explained in the next part or asked in a way that wasn't clear what was meant precisely. It was more a pain than actual knowledge control And even the final Assignment. You had to write yes, got the pasting warning the whole time and then couldn't even submit it twice because the answer was not long enough.. Additionally the peer review solution showed a screenshot that couldn't exist, because the prompt afterwards changed it. In Addition to giving info that changed later as well (deleting rows + deleting duplicates later)

Super basic. You could probably learn more by watching a couple of videos on YouTube. All the videos in this course are using Excel Desktop, but then for the labs it wants you to use Excel Online since that is free and everyone can use it. It would be better if they just used the desktop version for everything and say that you can use the online version if you want. It notes there are slight differences between the online version and the desktop version, but there are already differences between the online version they used in screenshots versus the online version that is used now since it is constantly updated.

The course itself was ok, though indeed very basic. However the final assignment was quite frustrating. Some instructions related to Excel on the web were inaccurate (probably outdated). Moreover, the assignment required to use Remove Duplicates, where the table have not got any unique row identifier. Due to that it was impossible to remove duplicates that way and people should not be graded for this point.

The course is helpful, particularly if you have never really used pivot tables. The course would benefit from visual examples (screenshots) in the hands on labs descriptions. Additionally, some of the methodology for removing duplicates should be revised. Teaching users to remove duplicates on a single variable or non-identifier variable can lead to erroneous deletion of data.

The big knock of the cert program is the absence of real peer discussion and the hollow semblance of providing something like that at the very beginning. When a learner encounters natural difficulties, we have only our individual means to figure them out. That indicates to me a very plausible reason why an entry-level cert program only has a 30% new career rate.
