In the dynamic field of digital marketing, proficiency in tools like Google Sheets is indispensable. This course begins by introducing the foundational aspects of Google Sheets, particularly focusing on its relevance and application in marketing. We address a common challenge faced by marketing professionals: maintaining the integrity and cleanliness of spreadsheets, especially when they are collaboratively used and constantly updated by multiple parties. The course starts with the basics of spreadsheet management, setting the stage for more advanced techniques.

We will explore various strategies to ensure data accuracy and consistency, crucial for making informed marketing decisions. Practical exercises will involve spotting and correcting errors in key metrics, utilizing data validation techniques. We will also learn how to effectively use regular expressions to organize and aggregate campaign metrics, a skill vital for handling large and complex marketing datasets.

    Regular Expressions

    In the digital marketing world, naming conventions may differ among paid advertising campaigns or ad groups, which poses a problem when the user wants to analyze campaign performance. Regular expressions can help match certain strings, replace parts of strings, or extract a portion of a string. In this chapter, you will learn to use regular expressions, along with Google Sheets' built-in functions REGEXMATCH(), REGEXREPLACE(), and REGEXEXTRACT(), to reorganize and aggregate data with ease.
