Along the way, we'll cover the keyboard shortcuts, functions and insider 'best practices' to make your spreadsheets sizzle!

Quick and concise at introductory level. Would like more data housekeeping skills shared as the functions usage are more straight forward.

It was very informative, however, I suggest that the lecturer should reduce his speed to ensure that students are able to catch up.

I would also suggest having a pdf document explaining how to actually use offsets, index match, vlookup

Lots of shortcuts shared, but got very into weeds without maintaining a clear overview. Also, not actually attention to formatting that would matter to actually share or present a spreadsheet, such as putting dollar signs in front of values representing money.
