Is there a free Excel course with a certificate?

The UPV course is free to audit; the edX certificate is paid. Microsoft help is free and is not a diploma. We do not treat those as the same sentence.

Should I start with Excel or Google Sheets?

If the job asks for Excel, start with Excel. Sheets is in the catalog as official Google help, not as a shortcut to the same role.

What comes after Excel?

Power BI is in the catalog for reports. If you want to analyze with code, the Python path is the real next step, not an advanced Excel course we do not have.

Free Excel courses: where to start

Excel guidance

A Spanish course, then data, then the official help

The UPV fundamentals course on edX is free to audit and taught in Spanish; the edX certificate is paid. The second UPV course organizes data once the interface is no longer a mystery. Microsoft training is an ongoing reference, not a diploma. Google Sheets is not Excel: it is in the catalog because many people work there, not as a substitute.

What we do not promise

A free audit is not a free certificate.
There is no invented “advanced Excel”: the real next step may be Power BI or Python.
A Google Sheets resource does not replace Excel in a job that asks for Microsoft 365.
