Enjoyed the course - learnt a lot would like to review this once again as it was too much to remember. Very well done, very clear voice and dictation and at a pace that you can learn and follow - would recommend users to pay and get these courses and very often there are offers on the prices which are well worth a bargain. Certainly would like that users take advantage. Good Job

I'm a software / database developer and use Excel as the end result of a lot of my applications where data is presented to the user. Hence, my knowledge of Excel has been spotty for a while. I've been using pivot tables and charts for a while but sitting through this course I learned some new things. Course was not long, which is good, and gave me some insights into how I can do more with Excel.

The short and concise segment methodology applied in this course helps a great deal with comprehension and retention of the skills you will learn. A great course for beginners to those with moderate mastery of Excel.

Pretty thorough course. As an experienced user I still learned a few things. Though I thought he mentioned we'd cover calculated fields and calculated items, but we never did. This would have been very helpful I think.

I've been using pivot tables for a long, long time but figured it was worth skimming through a 'deep dive' course to find things I don't already use, and there were a few:
Slicers - I've seen them but not used them much.
Histograms - I hadn't seen grouping used for histograms. Nice.
Field List - I had no idea that I could move it and change the view. I don't need to, but now I know that I can.
So, yeah, nice course. Well-organized, brief, and to the point.

If you use Transcription while watching the videos, beware of spelling, grammatical and formatting mistakes. The information isn't corrected as the word "rows" is typically translated as "Rose", "pane" is translated as "pain", etc.
