Course description
This course introduces learners to advanced tools in Google Sheets that streamline data retrieval, automate tasks, and enhance spreadsheet functionality. Through eight hands-on lessons, participants will explore lookup functions, macros, and scripts to build smarter, more efficient spreadsheets. The course begins with an explanation and overview of lookup functions, including VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, and the powerful combination of INDEX and MATCH. Learners will understand how to retrieve data from large datasets using unique identifiers and apply these functions to real-world scenarios like calculating commissions or comparing lists. They’ll also learn how to handle errors using IFERROR and enhance lookup logic with conditional functions like ISNA. Next, the course shifts to automation that is possible with the help of macros. Learners will record, save, and run macros to automate repetitive formatting and data manipulation tasks. They’ll explore the difference between absolute and relative references and learn how to manage and edit macros using Google Apps Script. By the end of the course, learners will be able to use lookup functions to dynamically retrieve and compare data, automate workflows with macros, and customize scripts to extend Sheets’ capabilities. This course is ideal for users who are looking to move beyond basic spreadsheet tasks and into more powerful, time-saving techniques.
