Be on the advice that some exercises require powerpivot
Well-structured course and everything is clearly articulated. The course is most likely targeting people who haven't worked with Excel too much, but I still learnt quite a few things as an experience Excel user. My only thing is that I hope this course would provide more in-depth projects or exercises.
This is really nice and informative course, however considering it is excel course, final assessments should have been practical data question based assessments
