Google Sheets for Advanced Users

This one-day course has been designed for anyone who is currently using spreadsheets for budgets or other data that needs calculations. You will learn advanced Google Sheets features to improve your ability to organise, analyse and present your data.

By the end of the course, you will have the skills and knowledge to create advanced functions and will be able to combine them to get the results you need. These include Logical functions, Lookups and Errors.

This course is only available for private bookings, either for groups or as a one-to-one, held online via Zoom or in the classroom. Please get in touch for availability.

Course Overview

Course requirements

Learners must have used Google Sheets before to create calculations, basic functions (e.g. SUM) and Absolute Cell References (e.g. $B$4). Ideally a learner will have attended our Google Sheets for Intermediate Users course previously.

Learners will be required to sign in to their Google account and will therefore need to bring details of their email address, password and a means by which they can receive their 2-Step Verification Code (e.g. mobile phone).

What you will learn

On this one-day advanced level course, you will learn:

  • Partial Absolute Cell References
  • Functions
  • Range names
  • Data validation
  • COUNTIFS
  • Conditional formatting using a formula
  • IF Functions recap
  • Nested IF functions
  • IFS
  • VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP
  • If there's time...INDEX & MATCH
  • Using an IF and ISNA and ISERROR
  • Using IFERROR
