Alex presented very well. He communicated clearly and helped out with any questions I had. He is very knowledgeable and a shared real life experiences.
I enjoyed the course and much helpful formy role, particularly the dashboard creating, linking to excel, creating bar charts, prinitng without legends, customer report design, Macros will be very helpful.
This course was beneficial and I was able to learn multiple items that are applicable to my industry.
Great training, with examples of practical use of the MS Project Tool for Project Management in creating Custom Reports for different audiences, Dashboards, and Visual Reports; as well as Macros creation and edition in Visual Basic. Also, the examples on dynamically linked fields to other type of files such as excel, as well as manual tasks with pasted links to other task data were very interesting and new to me, as it widens the possibilities in the usage MS Project Tool.
