In this training, you'll learn how you can implement an automated Excel dashboard in minutes along with a downloadable workbook that you can re-use for your own work.

Google Sheets is the best tool for collaboration, data collection or quick centralised database.

I'm looking to create some training on combining google sheets with R to build quick database applications.

Businesses everywhere use Excel because it's agile. Even though automation allows to save hundreds of hours Excel steps in whenever you need the job done today and not at the end of a 3 month IT project.

All of that is now changing with new tools. R and Python are not just for data science. With the right training deeper analysis, automation and apps can be built in the same time it takes to develop Excel spreadsheets.
