What you'll learn:
- Learn how to create and manage worksheets and navigate the Google Sheets interface
- Build foundational data literacy skills, including managing, exploring, analyzing and visualizing data
- Write spreadsheet formulas and functions to aggregate values, create logical tests, join data, and manipulate text and dates
- Use Pivot Tables to explore and analyze data, including grouping, sorting, filtering and more
- Learn data visualization and storytelling best practices, and bring data to life using common charts and graphs

This is a hands-on, project-based course designed to help you build the skills you need to manage, explore, analyze, and visualize data in Google Sheets.
We’ll start by introducing the Google Sheets interface and workflow, then dive into spreadsheet fundamentals like table structures, data types, formatting, sorting and filtering.
From there we’ll dig into formulas and functions for data analysis, introduce key topics like syntax, reference types, and common errors, and practice applying some of the most common and powerful techniques for data management and analysis. We’ll use functions to count and aggregate values, create logical tests, join data across tables, manipulate text and date values, and more.
Next we’ll introduce Pivot Tables, an essential spreadsheet tool for data exploration (EDA) and analysis. We’ll prepare raw data for analysis, create views to slice and dice the data, and apply tools like sorting, grouping, and calculated fields. We’ll also dive into the world of data visualization and storytelling, review best practices for effective design, and bring our data to life using visuals like bars and columns, line and area charts, scatterplots and maps.
Last but not least, we’ll demonstrate some of Google Sheets’ unique sharing and collaboration features, including comments, notifications, edit history, sheet protection, and more.
