The faculty explained this course in such a simple and relaxed approach! Let me call this experience as 'absorbed the content' rather than 'learn the content'. I am using all the concepts right from day 1 of this course in my working sheets.

Very Methodical and very well explained and planned out.

Though, I knew Excel little bit, like many others, it cleared out my basics for good.

I'll recommend everyone to go thru it at least once, even if you're not working majorly in excel.
