My first Udemy course, but not my last. I am fairly experienced in Excel and was looking for some specific skills. I got those and more. I learned a bunch of little tips and alternate ways of doing things, plus I added to the skills. The instructor was clear, on point, and gave good instruction. The examples were simple and allowed you to focus on the skill. Thank you to Jane Hames! And I loved the British accent!
