LogicExcel is an online learning platform that teaches Microsoft Excel and SQL through interactive exercises completed in the web browser.[1] Learners type formulas into a spreadsheet grid on the page, and each answer is marked by evaluating it against the data in a workbook rather than by comparing it to a stored text answer, so a different formula that produces the correct result is accepted.[2][3]

The site offers 95 Excel practice exercises in 14 topics, four structured courses with timed final exams, 23 SQL lessons, reference guides to Excel functions, and preparation material for employer skills tests and Microsoft certification exams.[2][4][5] Its core material is free and can be used without an account; one course, on month-end reporting for accounting staff, is paid.[1][6] It is published in English, German and Spanish, with some articles in French.[1][7][8][9]

Teaching method

Each exercise presents a small worksheet and a task, such as totalling a column of revenue figures. The learner enters a formula in the grid and receives feedback immediately; incorrect answers are followed by an explanation of what was expected.[2] The site describes its approach as practice before explanation, with each lesson isolating a single concept and building on the one before it, so that, for example, the SUMIF function is taught before SUMIFS.[2]

Keyboard shortcuts are practised by pressing the actual key combinations rather than by choosing from multiple-choice options.[2] Exercises run entirely in the browser and do not require a copy of Excel, an installation or an account. The interactive grid is designed for computers with a keyboard; on mobile devices the articles and lesson content can be read, but the exercises are described as working best on a desktop.[10]

The platform uses gamification features. Learners earn experience points (XP) and keep a daily streak, and a public leaderboard ranks learners by XP over the past week and month, with a separate view for a learner's own group, or "squad".[2][11] Signing in saves progress and the streak across devices.[1]

Excel practice exercises

The 95 practice exercises are arranged into 14 topics on a lesson map: SUM functions (8 exercises), COUNT functions (5), logical functions (11), lookup functions (13), INDEX MATCH lookups (8), text search functions (7), text manipulation functions (5), introductory shortcuts (7), cell selection shortcuts (7), statistical functions (9), Excel tables (4), date functions (6), other Excel skills (4), and a dashboard project built on a wine dataset (1).[4] The site suggests beginner, intermediate and advanced paths through these topics, starting with SUM, lookup or statistical functions respectively.[10]

Courses

Four free courses each contain five lessons. Every lesson combines teaching steps with a six-question quiz, and each course ends in a timed final exam of ten questions in fifteen minutes, made up of questions that did not appear in the lessons or quizzes.[3][12] Completing a course earns a certificate.[2] The courses are:[3]

  • Excel I: Working With Sheets, covering keyboard navigation, first formulas, copying formulas and locking cell references, formatting a sheet for other readers, and printing.[12]
  • Excel II: Text, Tables and Clean-up, covering Flash Fill, Excel tables and structured references, pivot tables, and Power Query.[13]
  • Excel III: Lookups and Logic, covering IF, IFS, XLOOKUP and VLOOKUP, SUMIFS and COUNTIFS, error handling, and an end-to-end commission calculation.[14]
  • Excel IV: 5 Days to Better Accounting Spreadsheets, in which learners clean a transaction export, match transactions with XLOOKUP, summarise them with SUMIFS, reconcile a cash book to a bank statement, and add checks, all on one month of a small business's books.[15]

The accounting course is also offered as a free email course, sending one exercise a day for five days. It is aimed at junior accountants, bookkeepers and finance staff who prepare recurring reports.[16]

Excel for Accounting: Month-End Reporting

The platform's paid product is Excel for Accounting: Month-End Reporting, a self-paced course sold for a one-time payment of US$79 with twelve months of access and a fourteen-day refund period.[6] It has 34 lessons in 11 sections, with 272 marked steps, 204 quiz questions, six downloadable workbooks, and a graded final task of twelve tasks in 45 minutes.[17] The syllabus follows the preparation of a month-end reporting pack from a raw transaction export: cleaning the data, matching the cash book to the bank, comparing actual spending to budget with SUMIFS, building controls that flag errors, and preparing journal entries and reconciliation workpapers. Later sections cover pivot tables and GETPIVOTDATA, dynamic array functions such as FILTER and SORT, and modelling with Goal Seek, data tables, Scenario Manager, NPV and IRR.[17] Orders are processed by an online reseller acting as merchant of record.[6]

Reference guides and tutorials

The site publishes 77 guides to individual Excel functions with examples and linked practice exercises.[18] Step-by-step tutorials cover features including pivot tables, data validation, conditional formatting, charts, freezing panes, Power Query, removing duplicates, array formulas, tables, sorting, refreshing data, and macros in Visual Basic for Applications.[19] Shortcut guides cover cut, copy and paste, strikethrough, and inserting and deleting rows and columns, with key combinations for both Windows and macOS.[20]

SQL

A separate section contains 23 SQL lessons, most with ten interactive queries. They progress from SELECT statements and filtering with WHERE through sorting, aliases, limiting results, pattern matching with LIKE, and inserting, updating and deleting records, to aggregate functions, NULL handling, joins (JOIN, LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN) and UNION.[5]

Assessment and certification preparation

A free twelve-question test, marked as the learner types, is modelled on the Excel skills tests that employers set during hiring, including the Indeed Excel assessment, and covers functions such as SUM, COUNTIF, SUMIF, IF, VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP and INDEX MATCH.[21] Study guides cover the Microsoft Office Specialist exams MO-200 (Excel Associate) and MO-201 (Excel Expert), part of the Microsoft certification programme.[22] The site's terms state that completing its exercises does not itself grant any official certification.[6]

Other material

The site hosts six savings-challenge trackers, such as the 52-week savings challenge, which can be filled in online or printed, with a matching spreadsheet available for Excel or Google Sheets.[23]

LogicExcel also publishes a set of practice workbooks with 80 exercises and answers on GitHub under a CC BY 4.0 licence. The workbooks use public data: segment revenue from Apple Inc. annual 10-K filings, world crop production for 2018 from FAOSTAT, and New York State trout stocking records from Data.gov.[24]

Use in education

A page for teachers presents the 95 exercises grouped by topic, with a link for each topic and each lesson that can be shared through Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, Moodle or a presentation slide. Students need no account, and each lesson ends on a completion screen that they can show their teacher.[25]

Community requests

A public requests board lets learners propose functions, exercises or topics and upvote the requests of others, one vote per person per request. The site states that the most-upvoted requests are built first, and LogicExcel staff post replies on the requests explaining what has been built.[26] The structured courses were introduced in response to requests on the board,[3] and a guide to the LAMBDA function was published after it was requested there.[26]

Editorial policy

According to the site, each exercise is written to a defined specification and tested so that the expected answer and feedback match what a spreadsheet or database would return. Lessons are drafted with the help of AI tools and then checked and corrected by a person before publication.[1] LogicExcel states that it is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Microsoft.[1]

Languages

The site is available in English, German and Spanish, and has also begun publishing articles in French, starting with a set of ten exercises for beginners.[9][1][7][8] Spanish-language requests on the community board receive replies in Spanish.[26]
