I've used Excel for years but always in a clumsy, self-taught way, so I figured this would just be a refresher. Instead it filled in a ton of gaps I didn't know I had, especially around structuring data properly before you even touch a formula. The pacing is genuinely step by step, each lesson builds on the last without jumping ahead. By the end I was formatting tables and writing formulas that actually made sense instead of guessing. It's the kind of course I wish I'd taken before I started using Excel at work.

Ich dachte, ich kenne Excel schon ganz gut, aber der Kurs hat mir gezeigt, wie viel ich eigentlich nicht wusste. Jede Lektion baut logisch auf der vorherigen auf, ohne dass man sich verloren fühlt. Besonders die Übungen zu Formeln und Zellformatierung haben mir richtig geholfen, endlich sauber zu arbeiten.

Наконец-то поняла, чем ВПР отличается от ИНДЕКС и ПОИСКПОЗ — объяснили на пальцах и с реальными таблицами.

Muy claro para empezar de cero, las lecciones paso a paso me hicieron perder el miedo a las fórmulas; faltó solo algún ejemplo más práctico.

คอร์สนี้สอนตั้งแต่พื้นฐานสุดๆ อย่างการใส่สูตรง่ายๆ ไปจนถึงการจัดรูปแบบตารางให้ดูเป็นมืออาชีพ อธิบายทีละขั้นตอนชัดเจนมาก ไม่รีบเลย เหมาะกับคนที่ไม่เคยใช้ Excel มาก่อนแบบผมเลย ตอนนี้ทำรายงานประจำสัปดาห์เองได้แล้วโดยไม่ต้องถามใคร

Zaczynałam kompletnie od zera i bałam się, że Excel to dla mnie za trudne, ale ten kurs rozwiał te obawy już po pierwszych lekcjach. Wszystko jest tłumaczone małymi krokami, od podstawowych formuł po formatowanie tabel, i zawsze wiadomo, dlaczego robimy dany krok. Ćwiczenia po każdej sekcji naprawdę utrwalają materiał, a nie są tylko dodatkiem. Po kilku tygodniach sama, bez niczyjej pomocy, poukładałam raport w pracy, który wcześniej robił za mnie kolega. Polecam każdemu, kto chce w końcu ogarnąć Excela od podstaw, a nie uczyć się metodą prób i błędów.

Explica cada función de Excel con ejemplos tan sencillos que hasta mi madre podría seguirlo sin problema.

Ik durfde Excel vroeger amper open te klikken en nu maak ik zelf overzichtelijke werkbladen voor mijn werk. De stap-voor-stap geschreven lessen zijn perfect voor een complete beginner, je kunt alles rustig in je eigen tempo nalezen. Vooral het deel over formules zoals SOM en ALS en het netjes opmaken van een tabel was een eyeopener. Doordat elke stap met een duidelijk voorbeeld wordt uitgelegd, raakte ik nooit de draad kwijt. Het opsplitsen van data over kolommen en het gebruik van filters pas ik nu dagelijks toe. Echt een fijne, geduldige introductie die me veel zelfvertrouwen heeft gegeven.

Хорошо объясняет базовые формулы и форматирование таблиц, но про сводные таблицы хотелось бы больше практики.
