| |
| In this Business Forecasting with Google Sheets video course, I introduce |
| you to Google's online spreadsheet application, Sheets and how to use it |
| for forecasting. |
| |
| Learn to forecast the future with your business data |
| |
| * Why forecast? |
| * Smoothing noisy data |
| * Analyzing for trendlines |
| * Transforming data |
| * Forecasting future values |
| |
| A powerful skill to increase your value and earnings. |
| |
| Millions of people use spreadsheets today, usually at the the office as a |
| data entry form. Very few actually build spreadsheets unless that is their |
| job. The dominant spreadsheet, Excel is often bought by students but |
| rarely used, and most working adults only have access to it at work. |
| |
| Until now. Google's online spreadsheet "Sheets" has become a powerful tool |
| through rapid iteration. While still not as powerful as Excel it does have |
| a number of very useful, unique features. But most impotrtant. it is free |
| to use. You can build spreadsheets at home, while on a cellphone, tablet |
| or laptop while traveling, indeed anywhere with internet access. |
| |
| This course focuses on using Google Sheets to do one of the most important |
| business functions - forecasting. |
| |
| |
| It is a powerful, full featured, cloud based spreadsheet that can be |
| harnessed for business forecasting in a collaborative environment, and the |
| results directly embedded in live web pages for internal and external |
| communication. |
| |
| Content and Overview |
| |
| The course uses Google sheets, a number of which are publicly available to |
| the student. In addition there are links to web content and documents with |
| more explanation of the concepts used. |
| I have broken down the content into easy to manage chunks so that you can |
| focus on a concept and experiment and test yourself. You can complete this |
| course in an evening or weekend and be ready to do work on Monday, |
| although I recommend working with your own data and the data I provide to |
| gain confidence in your new skills. |
| |
| I start with some evidence of why the skills this course teaches are career |
| drivers. Then we discuss what forecasting is. We start with the basics of |
| smoothing data to remove noise, and then move on to techniques of |
| implementing trendlines to forecast with. Throughout the course, each |
| point is made using data that you see being analyzed in a live spreadsheet |
| demonstration, that you can replicate on your own computer to nail down |
| and internalize the technique. |
| |
| Competency doing real work relevant to business is a career enhancing skill |
| in today's job market. This course will give you a strong start in |
| applying those skills to your business and employment. |
| |
| What am I going to get from this course? |
| |
| * 32 lectures and over 3 3/4 hours of content |
| * Understand how to analyze historic data to predict the likely future |
| * Learn how to use built-in and custom functions to extrapolate future |
| values |
| * Able to work at home on your computer at your own pace |
| * Visual training method, offering users increased retention and |
| accelerated learning. |
| * Lifetime access to me to help with your own data. |
| * Unconditional Udemy 30 day money-back guarantee - that's my personal |
| promise of your success! |
| |
| Update 11/5/2015 |
| |
| 2 new lectures added on errors to avoid with trend analysis. These are |
| common mistakes amateurs make that you can avoid in your own analyses and |
| look more professional when examining analyses from your colleagues. |
| |
| |
| So start learning today. Because being a technology dinosaur isnÆt going |
| to get you a promotion or raise! |
