Excellent!
This is very valuable information and easy to understand the basics of Excel! Great Teacher!
Amazing lesson
I am in total aww of this course; the Excel Essentials-Level One course was very thorough and helpful with my challenges. I am very glad I took this course and completed the course with a better understanding working in Excel Worksheets.
Thanks Alan, you’re greatly appreciated from me!
Thorough for the Absolute Beginner
Rather lengthy but very thorough for the absolute beginner in Excel. I had some familiarity with it so was able to skip some sections, but even someone who has never heard of Excel could learn much from this course. Looking forward to future courses in Excel by ALAN.
Awesome class!
