Welcome to the most COMPREHENSIVE Excel course, designed to teach you every single Excel feature, whether you're a beginner or advanced Excel user (no experience with Excel required).

This course is based on my extensive experience using Excel. I have created thousands of Excel documents in my career at Accenture, on Wall Street at Goldman Sachs, and, in the venture capital industry. I've included dashboards and templates so I can help you work smarter and not harder!

There are three ways you can take this course.

If you're new to Excel, follow the Beginner track, which will help you build a strong foundation in Excel before you proceed.
