“I was really excited by the idea of using an application I was familiar with, Google Sheets, to complete data analysis that had seemed so challenging and foreign before.
People like me, who are not data scientists, and want an easy entry level way to start playing with data, would benefit from this course.
I absolutely love this course!”
– Geordie Frost, Bang Digital
“I wanted to learn more about what I can do with Google Sheets to get an idea about how my agency can benefit. My SEO company uses Google almost entirely for all our project management, etc.
I take every course from Ben Collins. I’m always looking to up my data game. If you can understand your Data you can make correct decisions about your business and *almost* guarantee success.“
– Devin Schumacher, The Search Marketing Company
“Weekly, I face datasets I have to analyse and deliver insights. This new knowledge will help me get more insights from my data.
Since I’ve already done three of Ben’s previous courses, which were super useful, I knew it would be worth enrolling in this “analytical course”. I was right :)”
– Jaume Fàbrega, Trekksoft
I’ll tell you more about the course in a moment…
…but first let me reassure you:
I’ve made just about every mistake in the book
Prior to consulting and creating courses, I worked as a forensic accountant, doing investigations into sanctions violations at large financial organizations.
We used Excel and SQL to manage our project data — hundreds of thousands of transactions that we would analyze for the legal team.
There was one time I working on the master Excel dataset for a few days, but the unique identifier column was hidden. These unique IDs were therefore omitted from all the filters and sorts.
I had a total panic when I realized that the ID numbers were now totally out of sync with the related data, and there was no way for anyone to now reference the data.
(Thankfully, I was able to create a new unique identifier based on the data, and use that to retrieve the IDs from an older copy of the dataset, where they weren’t messed up.)
I learnt the valuable lesson of being careful with my data and keeping a good audit trail — something we discuss throughout this course.
It was also around this time that I realized how valuable solid data and spreadsheet skills were, and I’ve taken every opportunity to further my skills since then.
Fast forward to today
Today I create online courses and write about working with data, with a particular focus on how-to articles for learning data analytics and building dashboards, using Google Sheets, Apps Script and Data Studio.
Since mid-2015, I’ve been working as a freelance spreadsheet developer, data consultant and instructor.
I’ve taught data analysis and visualization courses and workshops at General Assembly’s Washington, D.C., campus and privately for clients.
The missing piece
This data analysis course is my third premium course.
It fills the gap between the data cleaning course and the dashboard reporting courses, which hundreds of students have taken, to cover the whole data analysis process:
Earlier this year I ran a couple of webinars about the QUERY function (which features in this data analysis course), and here’s what some folks were saying about my other Google Sheets training courses:
Josh wanted to be a data analyst, so he took a data analysis course to accelerate his career
Josh was one of my students in the first Data Analysis class I taught for General Assembly in Washington, DC. (In that course, I taught data analysis fundamentals with Excel, but the topics were similar to what I now teach in Google Sheets.)
Today, less than 3 years later, he has a masters degree in predictive analytics and works as a fully fledged data scientist. Wow!
Anyway, I won’t say anymore, I’ll let Josh tell his story.
