I've taken Advanced Excel courses before, and while the teaching techniques and materials were undoubtedly top-notch, I always struggled with effectively conveying the information I learned. The support I received helped me become proficient in using the tools, but I still found it challenging to communicate my findings and insights clearly.

However, this course, created by Dhaval Patel and Hemanand Vadivel, pushed me to improve my communication skills. It not only helped me bridge the gap between using the tools effectively and conveying my findings, but it also taught me valuable soft skills. I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow both technically and personally through this course. Thank you for creating such an impactful learning experience.

The Excel course at Code Basics, guided by Hemanand Vadivel and Dhaval Patel, was incredibly enriching! From basic functions to advanced techniques like Power Query and Pivot Tables, the course covered everything comprehensively. The practical projects, such as creating Sales Analytics and Finance P&L Reports, were particularly insightful. Hemanand and Dhaval's expertise and guidance made learning Excel both enjoyable and effective. Highly recommended!

As someone with 3+ years of experience in data analysis, I found this course to be a well-structured and practical refresher that reinforces core Excel concepts from a strong business intelligence perspective.

What stood out to me was the focus on business-driven use cases rather than just functions in isolation. Topics such as PivotTables, advanced lookups (VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, XLOOKUP), data cleaning techniques, and performance analysis were explained clearly and aligned well with real-world reporting and analytics scenarios.

Even with prior experience, the course helped me revisit best practices, improve efficiency, and think more systematically about building clean, analysis-ready Excel models. The examples and exercises were realistic and directly applicable to day-to-day analytical work.

Overall, this is a valuable course not only for beginners but also for experienced analysts who want to strengthen their Excel foundations for BI and reporting.

My Experience with Codebasics Excel Course
Honestly, this course changed how I see Excel. I thought I knew it, but I was only using maybe 10% of what it can do.
The best part? Everything was practical. Real datasets, real problems. No BS.
Power Query saved me hours of manual work. Pivot Tables finally made sense. And working with huge datasets gave me the confidence I needed.
Dhaval sir and Hemanand sir explain things in a way that just clicks. They don't overcomplicate—they teach you what actually matters at work.
If you want to learn Excel properly, this is it. Simple as that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.1 What is different in this Excel course compared to hundreds of courses on the internet and free tutorials on YouTube?

Most of the Excel courses available online teach you how to build x & y without any business context and do not prepare you for real business world problem-solving. This course is rather an experience in which you will learn Excel by solving real-life use cases in an imaginary company called AtliQ Hardware. The tutorials are very easy to understand and also have a lot of fun elements in them so that you don’t get bored! 😊

For initial basics, we have used a toy dataset of movies but for advanced concepts, we used a dataset that is crafted to mimic the real business world by consolidating our years of experience and the FMCG industry. That dataset contains more than 1 million records.

Our beginners to advanced Excel course comprises 9 hours of on-demand video content. This allows you to learn Excel at your own pace.

Q.1 I have zero knowledge of Excel and belong to a non-technical background. Can I take this Excel course?

Yes, this is the perfect course for anyone who has never worked on excel and wants to build a career in the IT/Data Analytics industry or just wants to perform better in their current job or business using data.

This Excel course is for absolute beginners hence you do not need any specific skills other than basic familiarity with computers.

Q.1 Once purchased, is this course available for lifetime access?

Yes

We have an active discord server where you can post your question and most of the time you will get an answer in a reasonable time frame.

Q.1 Can I add this course to my resume?

Yes. Absolutely you can mention the AtliQ Hardware project experience in your resume with the relevant skills that you will learn from this course

Don’t worry. Many videos in this Excel course are free so watch them to get an idea of the quality of teaching. Dhaval Patel (the course instructor) runs a popular data science YouTube channel called Codebasics. On that, you can watch his videos and read comments to get an idea of his teaching style
