What you'll learn

Organizations have plenty of business data but lack a clear way to turn it into useful insights. In this course, Visualize and Present Data in Google Sheets, you’ll gain the ability to transform sales data into visualizations and an interactive analytical dashboard that supports real-world business questions. First, you’ll explore how to select appropriate visualizations based on analytical questions and create charts from source data, calculated metrics, and pivot table results. You’ll also learn how to configure chart elements, use conditional formatting, and apply the SPARKLINE function to highlight patterns in data. Next, you’ll discover how to plan and build an interactive analytical dashboard for a business audience. You’ll select relevant metrics and comparisons, organize charts and scorecards into a clear layout, add filters and slicers to support interactive exploration, and test that the dashboard updates correctly when the underlying data changes. Finally, you’ll learn how to present analytical findings, connect them to business questions and decisions, and validate that charts and summaries accurately represent the underlying data. You’ll also use Gemini to critique a visualization or analytical summary and refine your final output based on useful feedback. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of data visualization in Google Sheets needed to turn business data into clear visualizations, build an interactive dashboard, communicate data-driven findings, and validate and refine your results for a business audience.
