Although the how to is really comprehensive it would be nice to understand why or when I would use these functions. Giving some scenarios of "if I was trying to....then I would use this function" would be helpful.

Overall, I thought it was a pretty solid course! I manually typed out a lot of the practice problems which took me awhile. But at the same time thats how I learn best. I would be interested in learning more about stock type functions to use in the future for predicting stock prices and analysis.

Well explained and thought through. Examples work well, but I am finding it is taking a while before some of the key topics I am interested in.

Good advanced lessons clearly explained in detail which made it easy to follow. One critisism, not all example spreadsheets used by the tutor were available for download.

The instructor enjoys hearing his own voice, which kind of slows it down a bit, but he knows what he is talking about and even though I've used Excel for years, I found a great many new tools. This is a great course.

It has always been a drag for me to try and understand using office applications. It is not that i cannot do what i need to do, but i never had an eye opening experience about the true potencial of these applications. This course, along with the rest of the office courses from this instructor, helped me realise how useful office applications can be. Thank u.
