Course: Data Analysis with Sheets and SQL

Module 1: Working with Data in Spreadsheets

In this module, you’ll learn how to effectively manage and prepare data within spreadsheets. We will cover fundamental skills such as importing data from various sources, organizing datasets using rows and columns, and applying basic formatting techniques to enhance clarity. You will also explore methods for cleaning data, including removing duplicates, handling missing values, and standardizing formats. This foundation will ensure your data is ready for analysis and visualization.

Module 2: Data Analysis with Spreadsheets

This module focuses on analyzing data using spreadsheet functions. You will learn how to calculate descriptive statistics such as mean, median, mode, and standard deviation to summarize datasets. We will explore functions like COUNTIF, SUMIF, and VLOOKUP to identify trends and extract specific information. Additionally, you’ll evaluate correlations between variables to understand relationships within your data. Practical exercises will help you apply the OSEMN framework—Obtain, Scrub, Explore, Model, and Interpret—to real-world datasets.

Module 3: Extracting Data with SQL

Learn the fundamentals of SQL to efficiently extract and manipulate data stored in databases. This module covers writing basic SELECT statements, filtering data with WHERE clauses, and combining data through JOIN operations. You will practice creating queries that retrieve specific subsets of data, aggregate information with GROUP BY, and sort results using ORDER BY. These skills will enable you to integrate SQL queries smoothly into spreadsheet workflows for advanced data analysis.

Module 4: Data Visualization

Visual representation of data is key to storytelling. In this module, you will learn how to create effective charts and graphs in Google Sheets, including bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, and scatter plots. We will also introduce Tableau as a powerful tool for creating interactive and dynamic visualizations. You’ll understand best practices for designing visuals that clearly communicate insights, identify patterns, and reveal trends within your data.

Module 5: Creating Dashboards

This final module guides you through building dashboards that compile multiple visualizations into a cohesive story. You will learn how to design user-friendly dashboards using Google Sheets and Tableau, incorporating filters, slicers, and interactivity to enable deeper data exploration. By integrating your analysis and visualizations, you’ll be able to present comprehensive insights to stakeholders, making data-driven decisions more accessible and impactful.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Clean data effectively using spreadsheet tools
  • Apply common formulas to calculate summary statistics
  • Identify important data trends and patterns
  • Write foundational SQL queries to extract relevant data
  • Create compelling charts and visualizations in Google Sheets and Tableau
  • Design and develop dashboards to communicate insights clearly
