Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet that is used for organising, analysing and visualising data. Through various features like data entry, data manipulation, charting and calculation, this makes it an ideal tool for project management, data handling and reporting, financial analysis, budgeting and so much more.
Simply put, Microsoft Excel is not entirely free. If you want full access then you will require a subscription or purchase. Otherwise, you can get it’s versions for free online and you can run it directly in your web browser. The free version is sufficient for most Excel users.

Enjoyed!
I have been hoping to improve my understanding of Microsoft Excel for some time, but couldn’t find the right course for me that combined a beginner’s overview with more advanced learning. After discovering this course, I believe it was worth the wait. I really enjoyed how there was no time limit or deadlines, as this meant I could fit my studies around my work.
Excellent!
Thanks to this course, I now have a good understanding of the popular tips and tricks of Excel, as well as some of the complicated concepts and formulas. I was able to complete this course on my tablet wherever I could pick up a WiFi signal. And with lifetime access, I can always top up my knowledge if I need to.
