Korshub's take

Overview

A ground-up introduction to Microsoft Excel aimed squarely at people who have never opened a spreadsheet before. The course moves through the interface, data entry, formatting, and basic calculations in a hands-on sequence rather than a lecture-style overview.

Who it's for

Students, job seekers, and professionals who need working Excel skills for school, applications, or day-to-day tasks and want to start from zero without feeling overwhelmed.

Key takeaways

Navigating the Excel interface and entering, editing, and auto-filling data
Formatting cells, numbers, currency, percentages, and dates
Core formulas including AutoSum, AVERAGE, MAX, and MIN
The difference between relative and absolute cell references
Sorting and filtering data, plus preparing a sheet for printing or PDF

By the end, learners should be comfortable building and formatting a working spreadsheet from scratch — a foundational skill that transfers directly to office and academic work.
