About the Course

Spreadsheet tools like Excel are an essential tool for working with data - whether for data analytics, business, marketing, or research. This course is designed to give you a basic working knowledge of Excel and how to use it for analyzing data. This course is suitable for those who are interested in pursuing a career in data analysis or data science, as well as anyone looking to use Excel for data analysis in their own domain. No prior experience with spreadsheets or coding is required - all you need is a device with a modern web browser and the ability to create a Microsoft account to access Excel online at no cost. If you have a desktop version of Excel, you can also easily follow along with the course. Throughout this course, you'll gain valuable experience working with data sets and spreadsheets. We'll start by introducing you to spreadsheets like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets, and show you how to load data from multiple formats. From there, you'll learn how to perform basic data wrangling and cleansing tasks using functions, and expand your knowledge of data analysis through the use of filtering, sorting, and pivot tables. There is a strong focus on practice and applied learning in this course. With each lab, you'll have the opportunity to manipulate data and gain hands-on experience using Excel. You'll learn how to clean and format your data efficiently, and convert it into a pivot table to make it more organized and readable. The final project will allow you to showcase your newly acquired data analysis skills by working with real data sets and spreadsheets. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation in using Excel for data analysis. You'll have worked with multiple data sets and spreadsheets, and will have the skills and knowledge needed to effectively clean and analyze data without having to learn any code. So let's get started!...

As an aspiring data analyst, this course gave me more information about what I am currently doing and after finishing this course I have learned a lot and gave me more interest to learn more.

Many of the commands explained in the videos or on the exercises are outdated, especially in the pivots section. I struggled to find its equivalent in Excel 365. Please update whatever is needed.

I was expecting the course to be having more advance excel features for data analysis and some troubleshooting. The course was pretty basic for someone who has not seen MS Excel in their entire life which I highly doubt exists as office is an application that's installed in almost all computers who use microsoft.

No funcionan las partes prácticas de Excel. Un timo, un engañabobos. Una pérdida de tiempo y de dinero, lo reporté y no se arregla nada. Y te cobran igual. Le doy una estrella para poder enviar la calificación, pero obviamente se merece 0 estrellas. Lamentable.

Unable to download or upload the material for Option 1 or Option 2 for graded exercise under Excel Basics Data Analysis Course # 2. This is extremely frustrating and should not affect my certificate completion.

Was all good until I got charged £37 for using their 7 day free trial. This course has no obvious way to cancel the subscription, and no way to request refunds - coursera clearly knows what they are doing.

Je n'ai pas apprécié ce cours - Trop de module avec des dialogues - Les exercices non pertinents - les examens avec vérification par votre IA n'est pas au point.
