Every video tutorial has its own worksheet where problem definition is explained in detail.

The main point the course covers are:

  • Formulas and functions - the course is highly concentrated on formulas and functions. We start from the most basic mathematical formulas, like how to write 2+2=4 in a cell. In later video tutorials, as the problems become more and more complex, students will learn how to write nested functions and some of the solutions even require nesting up to 10 different functions inside each other;

In addition to the points listed above, the course includes some of the most commonly used shortcuts, using $ signs in functions, working with different worksheets at the same time and much more.

As an additional material, glossary supporting file is provided where students can find the list of all 500 videos with the indication of:

  • Problem complexity;

  • Functions/tools to be used to solve the problem;

  • Suggestion on every video whether the problem should be solved independently (Do it yourself) or should the user watch the video and solve the problem along with instructor (Watch video).

This file makes it easy for the users to navigate through the course and find the videos they are interested in.
