Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
The program was very slow. I had worked ahead and completed most things before they were event given to us. It was obvious that some attendees didn't have much basic Excel knowledge and the constant issues and questions were slowing it down. The same information could've been completed in 30 minutes or less without waiting for people to catch up. Then the recording could've been sent to those who couldn't follow along fast enough.

Mike Thomas did an outstanding job of explaining how to create a dashboard with extremely clear instructions. He moved in a pace that allowed you to work in a spreadsheet along with him so you could learn hands on and absorb the information but still kept the training moving. He also explained why he used the formula or method demonstrated so that changes to the data would automatically update on the dashboard instead of having manual processes when a change was made. Very helpful training!
