Excel. Known by all. Hated by many. Understood by few. Nowadays we talk about digitalization. You can hear about "big data", "cloud computing", "AI", "machine learning", "robotic process automation". If you are like me, you have already used SQL Servers and you know how to do an SQL Query, either through MS Access or by building Macros in Excel you also got in touch with VBA (Visual Basic). Maybe you even learned some other programming languages. If you are in Accounting and Finance (but not only) you might have used basic accounting software or sophisticated ERPs such as Oracle, Navision or SAP. You can even have exposure to specialized tools like Hyperion, Cognos and many others.

But when it comes to keeping things simple, down to earth, because of it's native flexibility and versatility you always come back to Excel. Especially if you need to get creative. New templates, reports, formats and forms, building out of the box numeric tools (like pricing tools), there is no faster and easier solution than using the "old" Microsoft Excel.

You might wonder where your level is. I have a simple quiz for you. If you get the answers right to this quiz based on the introductory course please skip to the Advanced course. The 101 course might be too easy for you. Also you can have an Excel instance open to help you answer the questions. With four-five correct answers you can move to the advanced Excel course.

Installed Excel (any version), curiosity to learn something new.
Having failed the 5 questions quiz at the start of the course.

People with less to no knowledge about Excel but willing to start learning.
