I knew almost nothing about Excel when I started Excel Essentials.
Leila’s clear and concise instruction made it possible for me to learn the essentials of the program and grow in my skills with confidence.

Hillary Pulse

I’m using Excel often at work. Sometimes, I wasn’t using the most efficient way. Hence, I subscribed to the Black Belt package.
There were a lot of AH-HA moments! I’m now able to use Power Query and build good-looking dashboards more easily. I’m very excited about it!

Christian FisetBusiness Architect

I hadn’t any clue about Power Query, but now I can go through it easily. I feel that I am now able to accomplish many things after taking this course.

Mohamed MamdouhGym General Manager

Leila’s Power BI course is very detailed. I feel more confident and motivated to keep learning.
I am now the go-to guy in my company for Power BI, Excel, and Power Query.

Daniel BorundaBI Specialist

The course (Automate with Power Query) was delivered well, giving it 5 stars. Now, I will feel confident to propose the automation of some of our business processes using Power Query and Power Automate.

Selase TordzeagboAuditor

I have already automated repetitive tasks at work, and that is just the beginning.

Miroslav ViktorHead of Accounting

I learned that a few tweaks could make a huge difference in the look of your Excel chart! Taking a little extra time to upgrade your chart can make it look so much more professional.
Another great course (Business Charts) from Leila & team!

Fabiola CroesPricing Analyst

Whether you’re a beginner or an old hand, you’ll always find new approaches and ideas in every course and every video. Thank you very much, and please keep up the excellent work!
