Useful Excel for Beginners

A long-form Excel introduction of 89 video lectures across 13 sections, about 9 hours 38 minutes in total. The sections follow the order in which a new user meets the program: the basics of Excel, entering data (the largest section at almost three hours), formatting, editing, saving and viewing, then calculations (a further two hours), visualising data with charts, analysing data, tables and sharing workbooks. The stated aim is simply to teach the fundamentals well enough that you become an effective everyday user. The instructor, Dinesh Natarajan Mohan, recorded the material for Excel for Windows and recommends the 2007, 2010 or 2013 versions; the course was last updated in November 2020.

Lectures are in English with auto-generated captions. The course is free to take in full. Like all free Udemy courses it comes without a certificate of completion, without Q&A or messaging, and may include ads. The only prerequisite is being comfortable operating a personal computer.
