Course introduction
1. Course introduction
Hello, and welcome. In this course, you'll be introduced to some of the more advanced features found in Google Sheets. We do recommend that you complete the Google Sheets basic training before taking this course. Google Sheets is Google's cloud-based spreadsheet software, included with Google workspace. With Google Sheets, you can create and edit spreadsheets directly in your web browser. No special software is required. Multiple people can work simultaneously, you can see people's changes as they make them, and every change is saved automatically. During this course, through a series of lectures, demonstrations, and hands on activities, you will become even more comfortable using Google Sheets. We encourage you to stay signed in to Google workspaces throughout the course, not just for the activities. Pause the video, lecture, or demonstration at any time, and explore and practice for yourself to ensure that you understand the topic being discussed. This course follows our fictional customer, On the Rise, as they embark on their Google workspace journey. At the end of the course, you will use Google Sheets to solve a particular business challenge being faced by On the Rise. So let's take a look at the scenario we'll be using as you learn more about Google Sheets. On the Rise bakeries has recently started to use Google Sheets to compile and analyze their hiring data. Partner owner, Thomas Omar, has been so pleased with the increased visibility into the data, that he has asked the leadership team to use the same approach with the sales data. Thomas notes that he would like to have a visual representation of recent On the Rise sales, so he can easily see what is happening at a glance. He mentions a few new locations in Asia Pacific, which are of particular interest to him. He'd like to see how these stores are performing. The leadership team asks for your help. They would like you to create a Google Form so that the Asia Pacific stores can easily and securely share their sales data. The leadership team also asks for your help converting the data into two visual graphics, so that they can determine which stores might need some help. By using Google Forms and Google Sheets, the leadership team hope to gain clarity so they can respond in a positive way and help the new stores grow. Ready to get started? Let's begin.2.
