What you'll build

What you will be able to do

Each lab ends with a concrete result that you build yourself and the checker confirms, cell by cell.

  • Add one item to Jamie's school-supplies list - a word and a price - and learn how every cell gets its name.
  • Work out what Jamie earned on a weekend job: the pay, the pay after bus tickets and what that means per hour.
  • Summarise six weeks of Jamie's spending in four numbers: total, average, highest and lowest week.
  • Price Jamie's birthday-party shopping list with one formula, copy it down to every item and add up the bill.
  • Turn Jamie's test points into percentages, let IF decide Pass or Retry, and work out a 10% discount on a book.
  • Put everything together: Jamie's monthly budget with a total, the money left over, an IF that says "On track" - and a chart of where the money goes.

About this course

Never opened a spreadsheet, or always avoided one? Give it an hour. In six short labs you learn how cells, rows and columns are named and type your first entries, then write formulas with plus, minus, times, divide and brackets. SUM, AVERAGE, MIN and MAX summarise a list in one step, and copying a formula down a column shows why relative references are so handy. You turn scores into percentages, let a simple IF decide between two outcomes, and finally put a small monthly budget together with your first chart. Each cell is checked as you type, so mistakes are caught immediately rather than at the end. Made for complete beginners, school leavers and anyone returning to office work.

Before you buy

Questions about this course

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay $9.99 once for this course. There is no subscription and nothing renews automatically. Prices are in US dollars; taxes may be added where required.

What exactly do I get?

All lessons and labs of this course, the final exam and the certificate, including later updates to the course, for as long as Tutorvo offers it. Access is personal and tied to your account.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If you are not satisfied, email hello@tutorvo.com within 14 days of buying and we refund the course in full via Stripe. The guarantee does not apply once a certificate for the course has been issued to you, or where there are signs of abuse.

When can I start?

Right after payment. Access starts immediately at your request; for consumers in the EU/EEA the statutory right of withdrawal therefore ends once access has begun, while our 14-day money-back guarantee applies regardless.

Do I need Excel or other software?

No. The labs run in a spreadsheet inside your browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. Function names and syntax follow Excel.

Is the certificate an official qualification?

No. It confirms that you completed all lessons of the course and passed its final exam. It is not an official, state-recognised or professional qualification. The name is taken from your profile when the certificate is issued.
