Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
Speaker was knowledgeable and engaging but I feel he got sidetracked by the questions. I wish we could have learned the basic formula's and functions but we seemed to get into very esoteric situations due to the questions. It felt like he didn't have control over the meeting and allowed other participates to guide what we were learning. The workshop was not really helpful in what I was hoping to learn from the course.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I thought the training was great and the presenter did a great job teaching the material. I know quite a few questions were asked, which delayed him a bit. I just wish there would have been more time to cover the last two topics - vlookup and the if function - because those were the two I had the least knowledge on. Those two topics were kind of rushed at the end. Overall, I thought it was great!

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I enjoyed the class, but felt that there was too much time for questions during the presentation, which resulted in repeating information. There were some more complex items at the end of the class I wish we would have had more time to focus on.
