- FILTER, SORT, UNIQUE
- SEQUENCE, RANDARRAY
- LET & LAMBDA concepts
- Replacing legacy approaches
Module 3: Advanced Data Modeling
This module focuses on designing multi-sheet systems that are easy to maintain and collaborate on. You’ll learn how to separate inputs, calculations, and outputs, manage data relationships, and avoid fragile designs that break under change.
Outcome: Students design multi-sheet, multi-source models.
- Data separation (inputs, logic, outputs)
- One-to-many relationships
- Avoiding circular logic
- Version control concepts
- Model integrity checks
Module 4: Automation with Google Tools
You’ll learn how to automate workflows using built-in Google tools. This module covers data imports, scheduled updates, triggers, and an introduction to Apps Script concepts—without turning the course into a programming class.
Outcome: Students eliminate repetitive work.
- Power Query fundamentals
- Importing & transforming data
- Refreshable workflows
- Combining data sources
- When automation breaks
Module 5: Professional Dashboards & Reporting

Module 6: Scale, Governance & Risk
Large, shared spreadsheets bring new challenges. In this module, you’ll learn how to manage performance limits, prevent errors, control access, and recognize when Google Sheets is no longer the right tool.
Outcome: Students handle large files safely.
- File size & calculation speed
- Volatile functions
- Error propagation
- Spreadsheet risk management
- When Excel is the wrong tool
Module 7: Advanced Capstone Project
The course concludes with an end-to-end project that mirrors real-world Google Sheets work. You’ll design a fully automated, collaboration-ready system—from data intake to reporting and documentation—demonstrating advanced-level mastery.
Outcome: Students prove real-world mastery.
- End-to-end business problem
- Automated data intake
- Analysis & visualization
- Error handling & documentation
- Professional delivery standards
