Course Description

Why Pivot Tables

Working with large quantities of data in Google Sheets can be difficult and time-consuming. Have you ever wished there was a quick and efficient way to organize and evaluate your data within seconds? Pivot Tables are your answer!

Introduction to Pivot Tables

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the powerful tool of pivot tables for data analysis within Google Sheets. It starts by explaining the basics of pivot tables, demonstrating how they can be used to quickly organize and summarize large datasets. Through practical examples, you’ll understand how to transform thousands of data points into clear and actionable insights.

Using Pivot Tables to conduct real-world data analysis

You will learn how to customize your pivot table by applying standard analyses like sorting, subtotaling, and filtering—as well as more advanced statistical analysis like creating calculated fields and counting both numerical and text fields.

Explore real-world applications by analyzing diverse datasets such as the average rainfall across multiple US cities, the Top 10 companies of the Fortune Global 500, and a selection of films released between 2010 and 2016.

Mastering custom Pivot Tables

By the end of the course, you'll have the skills to create your own custom pivot tables with datasets of any size.

Whether for business analysis, academic research, or personal projects, you'll leave with the ability to turn raw data into meaningful insights, all through the power of Pivot Tables in Google Sheets.

    Even though this is Google Sheets, this is what you should use rather than the Excel track. I wish these people did a course for Excel.
