I came into this with almost no spreadsheet experience beyond basic sums, and it walked me through everything at a pace I could actually keep up with. The sections on modern formulas like XLOOKUP were especially clear, way better than the tutorials I'd tried on my own before. A couple of the workplace scenario exercises felt a bit repetitive by the end, but that's a minor gripe. Overall my daily reports take noticeably less time to put together now.

Solid basics, a bit slow in places.

Trước đây tôi chỉ biết dùng Excel để cộng trừ đơn giản. Khóa học này dạy từ những thao tác cơ bản nhất đến các công thức hiện đại một cách rất dễ hiểu. Bây giờ tôi tự tin làm bảng tính phức tạp hơn cho công việc hàng ngày.

엑셀을 거의 못 다뤘는데 기초부터 차근차근 알려줘서 따라가기 좋았어요. 데이터 정리와 기본 함수 부분이 특히 실무에 바로 도움이 됐습니다. 사무직이라면 누구나 들어볼 만한 강의예요.

Curso ideal para quienes empiezan de cero en Excel, las explicaciones sobre las fórmulas modernas son muy claras.

Ich habe vorher nur die absoluten Grundfunktionen in Excel genutzt und war ziemlich unsicher im Umgang mit Formeln. Der Kurs baut wirklich von null auf und erklärt auch moderne Funktionen wie XLOOKUP verständlich, ohne dass man sich überfordert fühlt. Manche Übungen zu Pivot-Tabellen hätten für meinen Geschmack etwas praxisnäher sein können. Trotzdem nutze ich im Büro inzwischen deutlich weniger manuelle Klickarbeit.
