Ben Collins – Build Dashboards With Google Sheets course with special price just for you: $199 $47
Do you spend hours collecting data, wrestling it into the format you need and then updating the same report that no one ever reads?
Or maybe you’re neck deep in data but don’t know how to use it to make sound business and marketing decisions?
Dashboards give you a high-level overview of your business, showing KPIs, trends and data comparisons… so you can use that insight to grow in smart ways.
By learning some relatively simple techniques, you can create dashboards that are automated, interactive and visually appealing.
This course will set you up to:
Each lesson is taught through bite-sized, action-oriented 5 – 10 minute-long videos, covering practical techniques you can apply to your own business.
I’ll be with you every step of the way, showing you the sheet setup, the formulas and the charts we use.
For each example you’ll have all the necessary raw data and formulas, as well as a final, finished template!
I’ll tell you more about the course in a moment…
…but first let me reassure you:
Prior to consulting and creating courses, I worked as a forensic accountant, doing investigations into sanctions violations at large financial organizations.
I remember the first time I built a dashboard in Excel at work.
After a lot of headaches and frustration, I had created a presentable dashboard that gave our team oversight of whole dataset.
The dashboard wasn’t pretty, and it probably violated dashboard best principles, but it worked. It was dynamic and I clearly remember how cool that was.
However, I had no idea what I was doing. I barely even knew what dashboards were, and I certainly didn’t know there were courses and books out there that could have saved me hours and hours (and resulted in a better end product!).
Seeing the team interact with the dashboard, I realized how valuable solid data and spreadsheet skills were — something we address throughout this course.
Today I create online courses and write about working with data, with a particular focus on how-to articles for learning data analytics and building dashboards, using Google Sheets, Apps Script and Data Studio.
Since mid-2015, I’ve been working as a freelance spreadsheet developer, data consultant and instructor.
I’ve taught data analysis and visualization courses and workshops at General Assembly’s Washington, D.C., campus and privately for clients.
