The course went beyond the tool itself to give tips in how to best present data.
In a data-driven world, these reporting skills will set you apart
As businesses become more data-driven, those who can turn raw data into truly insightful reports are becoming more valuable. And more in demand.
So if you want to be a reporting all-star who can create awesome reports and visualizations, this course is perfect for you.
Not only will you save time by automating cumbersome manual tasks…
…you’ll also help stakeholders make smarter, data-driven decisions. And they’ll wonder how they were able to operate before.
Reports from generic tools…
- Can be difficult for your end-users to understand, analyze and explore
- Are usually isolated from other data sources, so you can’t see the full picture
- Are slow, manual and cumbersome to create
- Are difficult to keep clean and updated
Once you’ve learned how to use Data Studio, you will…
- Create interactive reports users can understand and explore to find the insights they need
- Connect data sources to create a comprehensive picture of your business

- Know how to clean your data and deliver reports that stay up-to-date on their own
This course is essential for you if …
- You want to get better at reporting, analyzing and presenting data
- You want to share more valuable insights and empower your end-users to explore data on their own
- You want your work to stand out and look professional and credible
This course is NOT for you if you…
- Using and sharing information with Google products is impossible at your company, or your business is already all in on another reporting platform
- You’re happy to continue manually copying and pasting data in spreadsheets
- You’re already a hard-core Data Studio user or have lots of experience with tools like Tableau and Looker — in that case, you may find this course too intermediate
If you’ve never used Google Data Studio before, don’t worry. We’ll start with the basics to get you up and running. To help you learn, we’ll use Google Analytics as a sample data set.
Then, you’ll discover advanced features and use cases, so you can add even more valuable abilities to your skillset.
After completing this course, you’ll be able to confidently use most features in Google Data Studio. The skills you gain in this course will open up a new world of reporting possibilities.
