About the Course

As data becomes the modern currency, so the ability to analyse the data quickly and accurately has become of paramount importance. Excel with its extraordinarily broad range of features and capabilities is one of the most widely used programs for doing this. In the first course of our Excel Skills for Data Analysis and Visualization Specialization, you will learn the fundamentals of Excel for data analysis. When you have completed the course, you will be able to use a range of Excel tools and functions to clean and prepare data for analysis; automate data analysis with the help of Named Ranges and Tables; and use logical and lookup functions to transform, link and categorise data. This course will enable you to build a strong foundation in the fundamentals, helping you to be more efficient in your day-to-day and developing the necessary skills to work with the more advanced techniques used in later courses. To make the content easy to relate to and to personalize the learning experience, we are going to follow Zara's journey through the course. Who is Zara? Well, she is no-one and everyone. You will find that Zara's trials and tribulations sound familiar, and together with Zara, you will develop your Excel skills along the way — and, importantly, have some fun doing it. The Excel Skills for Data Analytics and Visualization courses are the sequel to one of most successful specializations on Coursera, Excel Skills for Business, which has attracted hundreds of thousands of learners and top ratings. Transform your skills, your confidence, and your opportunities by adding this new set of skills to your repertoire....

Well done. A small thing, though: in the quizzes, the grading could be made more fault-tolerant. Example: an answer such as AND(y,x) instead of AND(x,y) is deemed wrong, which borders on the nasty.

Very well-organized and at a good pace. There were a few typos here and there that took some time for me to realize. Otherwise, I enjoyed the information. It was extremely beneficial to me.

I found that the fundamentals were taught nicely and clearly in this course. The given examples, practices and quizzes were also engaging and it helped me to learn some cool Excel tricks that I didn't know exist before. Overall, I'd recommend this course to anyone trying to understand the basics of using Excel beyond using simple and familiar commands. The one missing star is due to the fact that I've read many reviews about the final assignment having issues with clear wording and wrong cell references reported since 3 years ago and they are all still not corrected until I finished this course (I was a bit frustrated and had to search the forum to find out what others thought would be the actual question). It didn't actually ruin the whole course experience, but I hope they'd be fixed in the future so as not to be frustrating for others. But everything else was great. Thanks Nicky and Prashan for the course!
