Курс подробно объясняет формулы и сводные таблицы на реальных примерах отчетов, хотя раздел про работу с большими массивами данных можно было бы расширить.

Finally understand pivot tables and how to actually use them for real reports instead of just staring at them confused.

Esse curso me ajudou a organizar planilhas de um jeito que eu nunca tinha conseguido sozinho, principalmente na parte de tabelas dinâmicas. As aulas são bem práticas, com exemplos de relatórios que realmente se parecem com o que a gente usa no trabalho. Já apliquei o que aprendi para montar um relatório mensal para minha equipe.

Llegué sin saber ni cómo congelar una fila y ahora preparo los informes mensuales de mi oficina sin pedir ayuda. Las lecciones empiezan desde cero de verdad, con pasos claros para ordenar datos, usar SUMA y BUSCARV, y dar formato a una tabla presentable. Me sirvió muchísimo la parte de filtros para revisar la información de ventas. Lo único que eché en falta fue algún ejercicio más con tablas dinámicas, que apenas se mencionan. Aun así, para alguien que parte de cero como yo, lo recomiendo sin dudarlo.

I picked this up because I kept fumbling around in spreadsheets at work and never really understood what I was doing beyond basic sums. The course walks through formulas, formatting, and pivot tables in a way that finally made sense to me, with plenty of hands-on exercises using realistic data sets. The instructor explains the reasoning behind each function instead of just listing steps, which made it much easier to remember later. My only complaint is that the section on data validation felt a bit rushed compared to everything else. Even so, I built my first proper report at work last week using exactly what I learned here.

基本的な関数からピボットテーブルまで順を追って学べる構成が良かったです。実務でそのまま使えるレポート作成の例が多く、理解しやすかったです。ただ、もう少しショートカットキーの説明があればさらに良かったと思います。

Corso utile ma un po' veloce

El curso explica muy bien las tablas dinámicas y las fórmulas más usadas en el trabajo, aunque me hubiera gustado un poco más de práctica con macros.

Corso ben organizzato che copre tutto quello che serve davvero per usare Excel in ufficio, dalle formule base alle tabelle pivot. Gli esempi pratici basati su dati reali mi hanno aiutato a capire subito come applicare ogni funzione al mio lavoro quotidiano. Ho già iniziato a usare i modelli di report visti nel corso per le riunioni settimanali.

Lavoro in un ufficio amministrativo e uso Excel ogni giorno, ma mi rendevo conto di sfruttare solo una minima parte delle sue funzioni. Questo corso parte dalle basi assolute e arriva fino a tabelle pivot e report dinamici, con una progressione che non mette mai fretta. Ogni lezione include file di esempio realistici, tipo fogli di magazzino o budget, che rendono tutto molto concreto. Mi è piaciuto particolarmente il modulo sulla pulizia dei dati, perché prima passavo ore a sistemare fogli disordinati a mano. Dopo aver finito il corso ho rifatto completamente il sistema di reportistica del mio ufficio, risparmiando parecchio tempo ogni settimana. Un corso solido, ben strutturato e davvero utile per chi lavora con i dati tutti i giorni.

This course covers everything from basic formulas to pivot tables in a really logical order, so nothing feels like it comes out of nowhere. I especially liked the section on building reports from messy raw data since that's exactly what I deal with at work. Already using half of these techniques in my job.
