Joseph Daher

At first I was a bit worried that having to remember the different shortcut keys, would slow down my progress. However, after applying them to the exercises a few times, I now try to do the case studies on my own first, then watch the videos to see if my approach makes sense.

Makes sense!

Ikmareka Hunt

I'm currently taking the Power BI online course. The instructors break down the teaching to bite size videos. The demos are easy to follow and gives me the confidence to build my own dashboards. Really thankful to have discovered this course. Keep up the good work!

I love Kenji's YouTube channel, and this course is like an extension of the videos he produces. Great stuff!

Great stuff!

Pretty good. Compiled and comprehensive. Good excel exercises and good to work with real examples! You might have to have some knowledge to make sense of everything presented here. This is not a course for finance. It is a course in using excel for financial modelling and so its helpful to have finance knowledge.

Pretty Good
