About the Course

"Everyday Excel, Part 1" is aimed at learners who are seeking to learn Excel from the ground up. No experience with Excel is necessary. While this course is meant for beginners of Excel, advanced users will undoubtedly pick up new skills and tools. This course is the first part of a three-part series and Specialization that focuses on teaching introductory through very advanced techniques and tools in Excel. In this course (Part 1), you will: 1) learn how to effectively navigate around the Excel environment; 2) edit and format Excel worksheets; 3) implement basic to advanced Excel functions (including financial, logical, and text functions); 4) learn how to manage data sets (filter, remove duplicates, consolidate data, sort data, and validate data); and 5) learn how to effectively visualize data through scatterplots, column charts, and pie charts. New to Excel? That is entirely fine! This course is meant to be fun, thought-provoking, and appeal to a wide audience. No prior knowledge in programming nor advanced math skills are necessary. The course is organized into 5 Weeks (modules). To pass each module, you'll need to pass a mastery quiz and complete a problem solving assignment. This course is unique in that the weekly assignments are completed in-application (i.e., on your own computer in Excel), providing you with valuable hands-on training....

That was extremely helpful, I liked it so much, I liked everything about it from the breaking down of new subjects, literally someone with zero experience in excel can understand and use these things

I have been in need of a course that would address my deficiencies in using Excel for quite some time. This is the perfect course for those in a similar situation. I found the course to be challenging, but not so difficult that you cannot complete it. The instructor is very clear and concise, which is helpful for someone like me who shies away from anything related to math.

I wish I had an opportunity to do this course earlier when I worked in a laboratory. With the huge amount of data I processed, knowledge of these skills would have been extremely useful and time saving. It would have saved me hours of donkey work my boss expected me to do. Looking forward to completing part 2 of this course. Mr. Nuttelmann, you are an awesome instructor!

Charlie did an excellent job creating engaging screencasts, quizzes and assignments. I've used Excel for years and still really benefited from the topics covered in this course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn about Excel basics or brush up on their basic Excel skills. I will definitely be taking the rest of the courses in this series!

I knew very little about Microsoft Excel 365 before I started this course and after completion, I feel that I understand Excel much better and it will be a more useful program for me. I will probably take the 2 and 3rd editions of this course in the near future. Thank you, Dr. Nettleman for making this course informational and the assignments relevant to the content!

Life has many ways to provide you with a swift SMH! And, at 55 after suffering a life altering stroke, Life has provided me with a hard SMH moment. This has become eye opening in more than one way. Thank God and thank you Dr Nuttleman for this eye opening, for this course and for providing a new door into my life.

Outstanding course with competitive assignments. Learned a lot from Sir Charlie Nuttelman. At first, I was zero in Excel before starting this course, but now I feel like I am an Excel expert. All credit goes to Sir Charlie for bringing up such a great course. If someone wants to learn Excel in real, then this course is for him/her. Thanks

Es un curso que te lleva de la mano desde el inicio hasta lo básico que conoce una persona que usualmente trabaja con excel, claro te explica y te da más detalle de funciones que no son tan comunes o que en el trabajo diario no usamos.

Me parece excelente idea comenzar con este curso para poder concluir en la ciencia de datos.

This was a good course even though it was a beginner course and I am not a newbie or a beginner. However, with that being said there there are as number of things that I did learn and get out of this course that I was either partially familiar with or not familiar with that the time of learning the information in this course.

This was AMAZING. I can't believe all the things you can do in Excel - before this course I thought I was pretty good, but this course showed me I was barely scratching the surface. Thank you for a great course - videos were good, quizzes and assignments meaningful - just the right amount of work for a continuing ed class.

An excellent introductory course to Excel. if you are wanting to learn Excel, I would start with this course. I would follow up with the courses offered by McQuarie University. A point made by one of the instructors was the Practice makes Permanent, so doing both courses is one way to embed the principles and techniques.

The course structure is very well organized. I have learned a lot of basics which I think will be very helpful for me. The instructions was very easily explained by Mr. Charlie Nuttelman. Yet the assignments was not too easy. I had to think a lot to solve those problems. However, I enjoyed this course very much. Thank you.

Absolutely wonderful! As someone who was a true beginner to Excel and nervous to apply for job opportunities that require Excel, I now feel confident thanks to this course. Charlie Nuttelman is a great educator and really makes the course material easy to follow, understand and put into practice. Highly recommend!

I have taken other excel classes and they always seem to go off into advanced formulas and problem solving that really doesn't match anything that I will actually use. This class is really exciting in that I can see lots of different uses for almost every formula, shortcut and example in our exercises. Thanks!

The instructor was very clear and provided meaningful examples throughout the course. I appreciated having the excel files to practice with along side him during the screencasts. I feel even though I had a good grasp of excel prior to the course, I learned about a lot of new features, particularly re: formulas

This Excel course is of high quality and provides a comprehensive understanding of various Excel functions and formulas. Although the assignment may be difficult, practicing with the accompanying videos can help solve it. It is recommended to use the provided file while practicing, as shown in the videos.

I knew basic excel functions, but this course has really expanded my knowledge. I feel more comfortable doing complex functions. The quizes were no pushovers, but in the end, they helped me understand how excel executes its functions. The instructor really had learners in mind while designing this course.

I knew absolutely nothing about Excel before taking this course; today I know way more than the average

Excel users. This course will definitely challenge you and make you learn intermediate-advanced Excel! I recommend it 100% only if you're willing to commit to a fast-paced, somewhat-difficult course!

This course was one of the best course in which a lame person can also learn excel and master this MS Office application to make sure that he excels high in his future. All Kudos to our instructor Prof. Nuttleman to his great efforts and hard work to make this course super informative and interesting.

I really liked the small, easy to complete chunks. Sometimes I would only have a few minutes free during the day, but I would be able to complete a full episode, which was nice. Charlie is a very clear presenter and the exercises were practical. I wish I would have taken this a couple of years ago.
