Excel online course - focus on formulas (lemmy.world)

Hi all,

I'm looking for a comprehensive Excel online course. I'm very familiar with Office products and would consider myself an expert. However, my weak spot is Excel - for sure. Especially when it comes to formulas.

I'm looking for a comprehensive Excel online course that focuses on formulas (nested formulas, vlookup, pivot tables) and offers lots of practical case studies - not just explaining.

It would be great if the course would have a mix of video and text explanation. And - as I said before - lots of hands on training.

I'd rather pay for a really great course than a mediocre free one.

Any recommendations? Thanks a lot!

I've heard good things about coursera from fellow lemmings. I would also check out to see if your local library offers Excel classes or even a nearby community college. Hope that helps!

What sorts of things do you tend to use it for in your day job?

[–] Jackhammer_Joe@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I plan to do more data analysis, pricing and business cases.

Excel is good for that but Matlab and R might be a more marketable investment technology-wise.

Thank you for the insight. In my field of work, companies tend to use Excel exclusively. That's why I want to improve my skills
