Really well done! You kept me interested and motivated, and that's not easy to do!

I enjoyed the balance of instructional videos and hands-on exercises, and I'm excited to try the Intermediate now.

Great introduction into Excel. Videos were very easy to understand. The exercises helped a lot to ensure practice makes permanent. I am much comfortable with excel now and looking forward to exploring it more. I use to be afraid and overwhelmed by it.

I started with this course because, although I know and work with Excel, I really didn't know many simple functions and with this course I ended up knowing them. It focuses on the basics, as charts, headers, simple formulas and data analysis within.

This course helps me to comprehend the basics of excel, so far I've self-taught myself using excel and turns out I know nothing about it. This course covers thoroughly on what I should at least know in operating excel. Practice makes permanent y'all.

This is an excellent introductory course to Excel. Highly recommended for anyone learning Excel for the first time as well as to anyone who is self-taught; as it helps to fill in blanks in knowledge to make one's work with Excel even more productive.

A brilliant course for beginners because the tutors explain everything completely and exhaustively. And a great course for those who already use Excel because one can find the fundamental theory here and find some new tips for his/her work with Excel

I've learned and practiced a number of different tools. Excel was always a process I wanted to get certified in and now I am. It's nice having this additional skill set in my tool kit. Thank you Coursera and Macquarie University for the opportunity.

Well-produced, bite-sized videos which made learning easy and convenient. Instructions were clear, and having the excel document to work concurrently with the video was immensely helpful. One of the best Coursera programmes I have attended thus far.

An excellent course for beginners. I started from nowhere near the basics and ended up with an amateur level of excel management skills. Demonstration and Instruction were clear and to the point. Thanks to the course co-ordinators and Coursera team.
