What is a Dashboard?

A dashboard is a visual display that shows you important information related to the performance of a company, such as the performance of employees, products, services, students, etc.

Dashboards transform plain data that is hard to read, into a professional report that others can easily understand.

A dashboard allows you to view performance indicators that provide vital information about your company, which allows you to make smart, data-driven decisions.

Why use Google Sheets to build dashboards?

Google Sheets is the ultimate platform for building dashboards because it is free, easy to learn, and has the features / functionality needed to build beautiful dashboards.

Companies all around the world both big and small, are using Google Sheets to analyze their data and turn it into dashboards. Many companies are already running on Google apps and using Google Sheets regularly, but more and more people are discovering the amazing potential of using Google Sheets to manage and visualize data.

I have personally seen companies spend over a hundred thousand dollars trying to get their data in order and building complicated dashboard systems that required entire teams of programmers to create unsuccessfully.

I have also personally replaced these expensive failed systems with Google Sheets dashboards that took me only hours to build.

Google Sheets allows you to quickly and easily build systems that take programmers forever to build, which means that by learning how to build dashboards in Google Sheets you can easily and quickly learn a skill that is highly valued in the professional world.

The dashboards course comes with a free Google Sheets formulas cheat sheet.

Who teaches the course?

My name is Corey Bustos, and I have been building Google Sheets dashboards professionally for online schools and other businesses, for over 7 years.

Before I learned to use Google Sheets, I had an electronics degree that had gotten me nowhere, and a job as an academic coach for high-risk kids.

Then I started learning how to use Google Sheets for fun, and soon realized that I could use my skills to analyze student data and turn it into dashboards. Before long I was creating dashboards for an entire school location, and then an entire region, and eventually I got a call that offered me a full-time position in data integration for a statewide education management organization.

I was amazed at how much my Google Sheets skills had done for me, where my expensive degree had done basically nothing for me except leave me in debt.

Now, I have doubled my salary and secured a full-time remote position, all because of Google Sheets. Perhaps the best reward, has been having a skill that makes me feel valued in the professional world. Even before my job changed, as an academic coach, Google Sheets allowed me to take control of my job and to be a more valued team member.

I am excited to teach you the data skills that will help you succeed in your current position, and that may even help you advance your career.

2. Sales Dashboard

3. Attendance Dashboard (Simple + Advanced)

You will get a copy of each of the completed dashboards so that you can refer to a working version as you follow the videos.

The attendance dashboard has an advanced version that you can build, where I will show you more advanced concepts like combining multiple reports to feed a single dashboard, and creating separate visual displays for individual employees / teachers etc.

In addition to learning how to create dashboards with aggregated (overall) data, you will also learn how to create trackers that show granular (detailed / broken down) data, such as tracking daily attendance for students. These concepts can be applied to any industry / niche.

You will also learn how to make your dashboards interactive, so that you or others can set custom criteria which affects your dashboard displays.
