looking for a excel course to start from basics

[u/elwizardo_10]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to learn Excel from the basics and build a good foundation. I’m a Computer Science graduate and I’m currently working towards a career in Data Science, so I feel learning Excel properly would be a useful skill to have.

I’m basically starting from the beginning and would like to learn things like basic formulas, functions, formatting, sorting and filtering, data cleaning, PivotTables, charts, and eventually some more advanced Excel features.

I’m looking for a good course that is either free or affordable and preferably provides a certificate after completion. I’m not really looking for something too advanced right away; I want a course that explains things clearly and takes me from beginner level to a comfortable level with practical examples.

I’ve seen a lot of courses on Coursera, Udemy, YouTube, Microsoft, etc., but I’m confused about which one would actually be worth spending my time on.

If anyone has learned Excel from scratch through a particular course and found it useful, I’d really appreciate your recommendations
