I know the answer is 120 after looking into it further I was wondering if there’s a way to get to this answer using countifs, if so how? I thought it would look something like this =countifs(b1:b100, “3**”, b1:b100, “*3*”, b1:b100, “**3”) but clearly have it wrong.

  149. It’s very useful course. Thank you sir.

  150. Thank you

  151. Is there any assessment that I need to give after completing the training?

  152. The courses offered and the way these are structured are
    meant to lay a firm and solid foundation to build upon.
    Everybody builds their own home on a foundation. When it is a good, properly laid, will make one’s home sitting on a solid foundation.

    Mr. SB has taken time, mastered the Excel, excited by its capabilities, organised it and prepared to teach his students in a simple and direct way.
    With an average enthusiasm to learn, one can learn from these videos and lay a firm and solid foundation to one’s career, using this excellent program called Excel.

    Like air we breathe, Sunshine we enjoy, moonlight we adore, his free teachings are GOD’s gift to any body that want learn a new skill.

    The organisation, time, effort and passion has to be really appreciated.

    I see lot of people asking for a pat in the back ( like looking for a certificate of completion ), this is a SELF-HELP course, and I am not sure I will have as much information given to me even if I attended a PAID COURSE.

    And again, since I am learning this on my own to improve MY understanding of spreadsheet program, I can understand and appreciate why some persons want to squeeze a CERTIFICATE out of this as a ticket for a future job.

    Mr. Bansal,
    Pranam to you, as a teacher who put in all this time into these video courses and offering it for free. I bow to you for your kind heart.

    Goddess Saraswathi has blessed you, may her blessings be showered upon you into the future, so we all get at least a part of those blessings.

    Namaste !

  379. Thanks very much for tutorials, I like to know if there is a way to make just a cell behave as a normal calculator.
    i.e this cell should be capable of summing figures that appears in another cell, while keeping last cumulative figure visible.
    This other cell will be the key-in cell or active cell.
    Example:
    Cell 1: =2*5, Answer appears in Cell 2,
    Cell 1: =3*6.8, Answer is added to the previous value resulting from (2*5) and still appears in cell 2.
    Kindly share a video if this is possible.
    Thank you.

  381. Hi Sumit,

    I have searched online and came across your youtube video tutorial on how to count color using function and macro module programing in excel.
    I am traying to count the highlighted cell that contains a specific numbers inside of the cell highlighted in color using your code. Can you help me to verify the changes that I have to make to count and add the cell value instead of adding “TotalCount = TotalCount +1” use “TotalCount = TotalCount + “Cell value”” ?
    What should I change to add the values inside of the cell instead of 1?
    Your or anyone’s help is deeply appreciated.

  382. Hey! in lesson4, almost at the start of the video, you select a group of cells and address them together with the help of a colon, and as you type the no. 1, it appears in every cell. when I do the same, it isn’t happening. why?

  424. Hello Sir

    And categories them using Drop down feature according to their subject

    And automatically update them in DIFFERENT EXCEL DATA AS PER SUBJECT

    English students

  425. hello,

    Thank you Summit! (From CT)

  431. You are a miracle. Created vids, summaries for free. More than just an average youtuber. Thank you so much. Greetings from Long Beach CA

  435. Thank you so much for this course it is really helping me you are such a good person to do this for us all.

  436. Thank you Sumit for an excellent training course!

    Now I have a question, not about your course, but if you coluld solve this problem I would be grateful.
    Do you know how to get rid of the usernaume in comments? I know I could go via Alternative/Genereral/Microsoft Office/Username etc. but that does not solve the problem.
    If I put a space instead of my name, or my initials, it still writes “:” in bold character and I want a empty comment when I start writing in it.

    I think it must be solved by VBA code? And I don’t know how to write it, so if you know, and if you can help me, I would appreciate that.

    I think it is very annoying that I have to delete my name (or initials) in everey new comment I make. Must be a way to get around it?

    Kind regards,
    Leif Norinder

  437. Dear Sumit Bansal,
    I am really appreciate you concern to teach people without any interest. that is a really surprised me in this current mindset of the people. again thank you for your kindness.

  459. Hello Mr. Sumit,

    I am unable to find “Developer tab” and “Customizing Ribbon and QAT” options in Excel 2007 . Kindly help me how can I access these options ?

      • Sorry, unable to find the ‘customize the ribbon’ toolbar in 2007 excel. I guess I need to upgrade excel with 2013 version.

  460. Is this a certification course ? If not, then what should we do to get a certificate for our learnings ?

    • Hello Dhiraj.. This is a free course so no certificate is issued for completing it

  461. Will I receive a certificate of completion for this training?

    • Hello Terri.. This is a free course so no certificate is issued for completing it

  462. I created some data in Sheet 1, Cell A1 (in Excel 2016), and I linked these contents of Sheet 1 to Sheet 2, Cell A1. I created a link to enable the contents of Sheet 1 (Cell A1) to appear automatically in Sheet 2 so that whenever I change the contents of Sheet 1, the same automatically changes in Sheet 2. To quickly go back to Sheet 1 (where the original data is contained), I used DOUBLE-CLICK method and, as expected, Excel immediately moved back to Sheet 1, Cell A1.

    However, when I use my laptop at home (also Excel 2016) and try to DOUBLE-CLICK when I am in Sheet 2 in order to quickly go back to Sheet 1, Cell A1, instead of linking me to Sheet 1, the cursor is just blinking in Sheet 2.

    Question:
    How do I change the settings of my laptop at home to enable me jump from Sheet 2 to Sheet 1 upon double-clicking the link in Sheet 2, Cell A1, to enable me to go to the actual location of my data in Sheet 1? Thank you.

  463. Hi Sir!
    Thank you for this three tutorial.
    Unfortunately, I don’t see any video to watch.
    What should I do?

    • When you click on the gray bars on the page above, you will get the video that you can watch. Are you not getting any videos when you click on the gray bar?

      • No, I don’t see any videos.
        Just a list of what we will learn in the section.

        • Can you please try now? Also, refresh the page (hold the control key and then hit the F5 key). This should fix the issue

          • That’s perfect!
            Thank You Sumit.

        • Click on the link and then scroll down slowly, so you do not pass it up, until you see the box with the video area….

      • no. not getting any videos

        • Click on the link and then scroll down slowly, so you do not pass it up, until you see the box with the video area….

  464. Sumit
    You are truly an MVP. Your videos and instructions are fantastic, they are easy to understand, not cumbersome or a burden to watch and your instruction is simple and precise. I have used Excel for a very long time but each time I need an answer you are my go to search and instructor and it goes without saying I always find what I am looking for. Are you as good in other aspects of the MS Suite or Master of one? Let me know. Thanks for your support.
    Paramveer Sidhu

    • Thank you so much for the kind word Paramveer 🙂 I only focus on MS Excel. While I use most of MS apps, I am not as deep into it as I am in Excel.

      • Are you on linkedin?

  466. Hi Sumit Bansal,

    I don’t find any video link in this page…

  467. Video links?

  468. Hi, the links to your videos disappear. Could you please fix it?

  469. Where are the links to start the course – videos??

    • Click on the link and then scroll down slowly, so you do not pass it up, until you see the box with the video area….

  470. Bro where is the link to videos????

  471. Your website provides excellent insight in Excel which is very useful for every type of end user.

    I am struggling with an issue, I am unable to resolve myself and I hope you can give me right direction:
    In my first worksheet “dataentry” I have a column A and B, where column A is a dropdown list with numbers and column B is a dependent dropdown list related to column A.
    On my second worksheet “datalists” I created the value lists related to column A and B.
    The problem lies in the fact that on the “datalist” worksheet Column A defines the value list which should be displayed when selecting the value for Column A on the “dataentry” but that I want to see the full description from Column B from the “datalist” sheet in my dropdown list. Similarly, on the “datalist” worksheet Column C defines the value list which should be displayed when selecting the value for Column B on the “dataentry” but that I want to see the full description from Column D from the “datalist” sheet in my dropdown list.

    I hope I made my problem clear and really hope you are able to help me out here.

    Thanks in advance!

Microsoft Excel Essentials

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Some free content

Why We Picked It

Excel might seem like an opaque, even intimidating tool to the uninitiated, but it doesn’t need to be that way.

The Microsoft Excel Essentials courses with Alan Jarvis are fantastic starting points for those who want to learn the basics from the beginning. That doesn’t mean Jarvis treats you like an amateur, however. His professional, approachable manner helps you through Excel’s nuances and essentials. Skillshare offers three courses: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, which together offer nearly 25 hours of instruction.

With almost 30 years of teaching experience and decades of using Excel itself, Jarvis is an ideal candidate to walk you through what Excel can do and how you can make the most of it. There are over 300 bite-sized lectures in the three levels to sink your teeth into with downloadable source files, PDF instructionals, and even access to his course forum, so you can chat with Jarvis himself and other students if you have any questions.

Reviews for this course are simply stellar, with every one of the hundreds of students who have taken it claiming that it met or exceeded their expectations.

Master Microsoft Excel

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Taught by three experts

  • Microsoft Office Specialist certification

Cons

  • Relatively expensive

  • Monthly membership required

Why We Picked It

The LinkedIn Learning platform has many great Excel courses, but none are as strong or as useful as Master Microsoft Excel. With around 25 hours of video content split over eight distinct class topics, this course is comprehensive and approachable in a manner that others simply aren’t.

Originally designed in 2016, this course has grown and evolved, adding new and updated videos and instructions to walk you through the latest Excel developments and further cement some of its most crucial features.

Unfortunately, Coursera does not disclose the pricing. Users must sign up for a free account to view pricing. The site does, however, note that financial aid is available.

Final Verdict

Udemy’s Excel from Beginner to Advanced course won our top spot because it’s comprehensive, covering just about everything you’ll want to know about Excel. With lifetime access, you can come back for a refresher whenever you feel a need.

Or, if you’re looking for something less expensive, consider Excel for Windows Training by Microsoft. If you’re an absolute beginner you may want to try Microsoft Excel Essentials, another cheap course, while more advanced users may prefer Udemy’s The Complete Financial Analyst Course or Coursera’s Excel Skills for Business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Do Online Excel Classes Offer?

An online Excel class will include several hours of video instructions, as well as course materials like example worksheets and articles that can help walk you through more in-depth instructions step by step. The best classes will also include completed examples for you to use that will show what to aim for, as well as what you need to do along the way to learn the proper techniques.

What Are the Benefits of an Online Excel Class?

An online Excel class is a great way to learn because it offers you intuitive instructional content from an experienced teacher. It’s much easier to learn when someone explains concepts and shows you how to do everything, rather than simply following along with a YouTube video or an article.

How Long Does It Take to Complete an Online Excel Class?

The time required to finish an online Excel course depends on which class you opt for and how much free time you have. Some courses can take a year or more to complete if you have a full-time job and family commitments. Others are much shorter and are designed to be completed in just a few sessions. It really depends on your situation.

Will I Receive a Certificate for Completing a Class?

Most good courses do offer a certificate when you complete them, but not all do. More official and costly courses almost always do, so if this is something that’s important to you, make sure to check the course notes before signing up.

How Much Do Online Excel Classes Cost?

Prices for these classes run the gamut. The best online Excel courses can cost anywhere from absolutely nothing to hundreds of dollars. Price isn’t always an indicator of quality, but it can be an indicator of the amount of video and instructional content you’ll get. The larger courses tend to be more expensive, so if your budget is limited, consider some of the shorter courses to get you started, as well as some of Microsoft’s free tutorials.

How We Chose the Best Online Excel Courses

Excel is a popular tool, and there are plenty of people out there willing to teach you how to use it. While that’s all well and good, we wanted to focus on giving you access to the best online courses. That means looking at the credentials of the teachers, making sure they’re consummate professionals and are more than experienced at both teaching and using Excel itself.

We also only recommended professional platforms that deliver on their promises. We sorted through reviews of individual courses to make sure that they are well-liked by people who have paid for them.

Ultimately, a good Excel course should be accessible, intuitive, and come with plenty of supplementary materials to help you learn. All of these classes have that in spades.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

  • Requires three to five hours per week for 24 weeks

Overview

Macquarie University’s Excel Skills for Business Specialization is available through Coursera, and it also includes four courses: Essentials, Intermediate I, Intermediate II, and Advanced.

Topics include macros, pivot tables, data forecasts, and building dashboards—everything your business needs to help it thrive.

Introduction to Data Analysis Using Excel

Why We Chose It

Rice designed this introductory course specifically for those who have minimal knowledge of Microsoft Excel. If you want to advance beyond the basics, additional courses delve deeper into the program and its tools.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Designed with beginners in mind

  • Can complete in a month

  • Includes certification

Cons

  • Must subscribe to Coursera for access

  • May be slow for those with some Excel experience

Overview

“Introduction” says it all about Rice University’s contribution to our list. You’re not looking to immediately launch a rocket from your desktop or laptop; You just want some fundamental knowledge of and familiarity with Excel so you can move on to launching rockets later. Rice says its class is appropriate for “those who have very little functional knowledge of Excel.”

The course teaches the basic uses of spreadsheets, but if you want to learn more, you can. Introduction to Data Analysis Using Excel covers almost everything from PivotTables to VLOOKUP. The class spans four lessons, and the first one—for beginners—is the one we particularly like. It’s well-paced and provides a little hand-holding.

Once you’ve learned the basics, you’ll then move on to organizing data, then to filtering and more complex tasks. The class is a top pick for walking you from knowing almost nothing to being fully prepared to tackle advanced options.

Plan to commit to one to three hours a week for four weeks. The class is part of the university’s Business Statistics and Analysis Specialization on Coursera, which contains five courses in total. A Coursera Plus subscription is $59 a month, but you can avoid the fee if you don’t care about getting a certificate.

Not everyone thrives on reading textbooks—even online—which is why Excel Exposure is an ideal pick when it comes to video-based learning.

Final Verdict

Microsoft Excel is a necessary tool in many business settings and a helpful one in plenty of others. Learning even just the basics can make a big difference, and online classes allow you to gain knowledge and experience with the skills that are important to you. Udemy is our top pick because it has the most well-rounded offerings and lifetime access to resources. If you have specific needs like learning VBA, Chandoo is the best option. Or if you’d appreciate a course accessible from inside Excel, then we like the offerings from GoSkills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Features of an Online Excel Class?

The online learning option works best if you’re a self-motivator. You can set and keep your own goals and objectives. And these classes offer a variety of formats that you can tailor to your own tastes, from mobile apps and visual learning to online textbooks.

Optimal classes should explore a range of topics, from the absolute basics of working in Excel to mastering VBA and pivot tables. Udemy, Excel Exposure, and Macquarie all touch on VBA, while Chandoo provides a comprehensive, in-depth VBA study. Some classes offer ample supplemental resources that remain available to you forever, such as Udemy. 

The best classes feature at least four levels of learning, depending on the experience you go in with and acquire along the way.

What Are the Benefits of an Online Excel Class and Why Take One?

Jobs that require superior and advanced digital skills have increased significantly in recent years. The Council on Foreign Relations reported in April 2018 that these positions increased from 5% to 23% by that year with the addition of approximately 32 million jobs in the United States alone. The number of jobs requiring little or no digital skills plummeted by 26%.

Of the 13 million or so new jobs created since 2010, about two-thirds require at least medium skills in this arena. So learning new digital skills is always a resume-builder.

Will I Receive a Certificate for Completing a Class?

If you are doing the course to add to your resume or get a new job, it’s most likely best to choose a course with a certificate. All of our choices above offer certificates, although some have a catch.

Chandoo.org requires that you specifically ask for a certificate, but this is simply a matter of clicking on the “Request Certificate” tab. The functionality isn’t available until the 12th week of enrollment, however, and this requires signing up for a membership.

Microsoft has paid courses with certificates and some free learning materials too. Likewise, Coursera allows you to take courses, such as the one from Macquarie University, for free if you’re willing to forego the certificate.

How Much Do Online Excel Classes Cost?

You can take many classes for free if you’re learning for your own edification, if you’re starting your own business, or if you already own one. But again, you’ll have to pay if you want a certification to add to your resume.

GoSkills offers the least expensive option at around $29 per month. However, if you’re going to subscribe for many months a one-time purchase course like those at Udemy could be cheaper. Financial support is available from some providers such as Coursera. Other classes can cost in the neighborhood of $150 or more.

Methodology

Seeing is believing, so we explored various websites to find out which ones appealed most to various readers’ concerns, including budgets, goals, and their level of existing experience. Then we reached out to John Livezey, an information systems and aviation adjunct instructor at Atlantic Cape Community College in New Jersey, for his opinions. He’s taught Excel for years in in-person settings.
