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

If you use Transcription while watching the videos, beware of spelling, grammatical and formatting mistakes. The information isn't corrected as the word "rows" is typically translated as "Rose", "pane" is translated as "pain", etc.

Excellent training, although you are left to do any exercises on your own, I was familiar with pivot tables, but have learned a great deal of new information, as the course goes into good detail about all the options available to you when creating a pivot table.

I am very knowledgeable in Excel but lack knowledge on pivot tables. So far it does appear something I should master.

It is very clear and hands on, very current information, I have been using pivot tables since 1990´s but was not aware of new developments. It a tool that segregates IT job from user analytics, great you depend on IT anymore.

I've been using excel for years and found out I didn't know every trick there is after watching this course. The majority of the content is for users who are getting up to speed on pivot tables, but there are still subjects for more advanced users. The content is easy to follow and the instructor is knows his stuff.

Like the nice pace, not to fast or slow. Had a little trouble with the audio cutting out, but found backing the video up helped.

There needs to be more hands practice. Teach something then have the student practice it, multiple time if necessary.

It's not for the Mac version, so some of the features are not available. The course was more difficult to follow... otherwise great course. Should I use the Windows version, I may come back to this for a refresher.
