    Enjoyed the course - learnt a lot would like to review this once again as it was too much to remember. Very well done, very clear voice and dictation and at a pace that you can learn and follow - would recommend users to pay and get these courses and very often there are offers on the prices which are well worth a bargain. Certainly would like that users take advantage. Good Job

    I'm a software / database developer and use Excel as the end result of a lot of my applications where data is presented to the user. Hence, my knowledge of Excel has been spotty for a while. I've been using pivot tables and charts for a while but sitting through this course I learned some new things. Course was not long, which is good, and gave me some insights into how I can do more with Excel.

    The short and concise segment methodology applied in this course helps a great deal with comprehension and retention of the skills you will learn. A great course for beginners to those with moderate mastery of Excel.
