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. So let's get started!...

Since I haven't really explored that much the Excel Online, I'm glad this course allowed me to do so and discover some of its unique advantages over the desktop. The topics allowed me to dig deep as well some of the many useful functionalities and tools of excel. Will continue to explore some of the unchartered functions this spreadsheet has to do my own data analysis.

It was a well-designed course.

These are meant to help develop ML system.

I realize this was a Basic course.

It would be nice if there was very simple and basic topic as how data can be used in ML and AI.

That would encourage students to want to learn even more.

In general, the course was nicely presented with good examples. I learned a lot.

Thank you.

Its a pretty good curse for begginers, it teach you the basics, in my case i worked in an investment fund and before i used to clean the data completely manually , now i can use some new fuctions and use many diferent excel options that i did'nt know, basically what it used to take me 3 hours daily i just refresh the pivot table and is done.

¡Muy buen curso! Es excelente para comenzar de cero, ya que no solo hace un recorrido práctico por Excel, sino que también por aproximaciones "teóricas" relativas a la importancia de la confidencialidad, privacidad y calidad de los datos, complementadas por comentarios de Analistas de datos seri@s.

If any ever asked me to recommend a course on Excel, then I would recommend them that the best course on the internet so far to learn Excel would be IBM"s Excel Basics for Data Analysis, and IBM"s Data Visualizations with Excel and Cognos which are both available on Coursera.

Great work!!!

I would like more clarification with the formulas. Because the formulas that are presented in the tasks are in Excel, Exel Web does not see them. As a result, you cannot complete the task that is so easily shown in the video. As a result, copying these formulas does not work.

Great course which goes faster and is more fun than the first course because it has labs and students are able to actually work with excel. The slides and videos were more to the point and even outlined a little better than the first course so I gave this course 5 stars.

I was using Excel for different applications, but was not sure about the shortcuts and the usage of different options available in it. I hope this will help learners to have knowledge from the scratch. Thank you and huge shout out to the makers of the course.

The content is very easy to grasp and understand, even for a beginer. The content is well structured and the practice sheets are the best because you actually get to work on some data making it easy to check if you actually can apply the work in practical.

Es un desgaste el que uno se esmere en realizar los ejercicios llevando acabo las instrucciones que se nos dan y que al realizar dicha actividad nos sea calificada como plagio siendo un ejercicio el cual lo realice sola y fue completamente de mi autoría.

se me dificultó por el inglés, pero es un curso muy explícito y completo; me gustaría que estubiera en español 100%, así se aprovecha al máximo lo que tenemos que aprender y no tener que estar traduciendo para poder realizar la actividad. Saludos!
