There were many tips for older versions of excel, not applicable in my case.

I've taken several excel courses from David Ringstrom and they are always informative. In this one, I was hoping to be able to use the slides as a reference, but they are just too busy to follow compared with earlier courses. Still good material, though.

It was a good course. I wish it would have gone into more with subtotaling as it relates to pivot tables. Never saw the need for a custom list but it was interesting to learn. My favorite part was learning the Alt = is the shortcut for SUM.

These are some excellent tips and tricks. I will go right away and turn off the annoying "clipboard" that constantly appears in my way. It is an hour well spent because I pick up something helpful in each of Mr. Ringstrom's courses.

I liked learning about how useful and efficient the subtotal and double-click feature when applying formats. I've been using excel for many years and did not know of these useful features. Great course!

Showed me some new tricks that I can use in my daily role. Some were reminders, but it never hurts to be reminded of the things that you used at one point and have thrown in the back of your mind.

This course provided some very useful tips. I found the slides were not that easy to follow however I did like the supporting file that allows you to try each of the tricks.
