Dashboard Storytelling, Drag-and-Drop Simple

Interactive dashboards once required coding. Looker Studio made them accessible through a visual interface—drag, drop, filter, publish. The instructor brings over 20 years of training and consulting experience in data analysis and business intelligence, which shapes how concepts are sequenced. You'll learn to connect Google Sheets to live dashboards, build scorecards for KPIs, create trend analysis for forecasting, and layer time-based calculations (Year-to-Date, Month-to-Date). The hands-on exercises—the Sales Manager case study gets frequent praise—translate immediately into reports you can actually use. Student reviews consistently note the conciseness: lessons stay focused rather than padding, which respects your time. Since Looker Studio is free for anyone with a Google account, the only barrier to starting is deciding to invest in the skill itself.

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

I was very pleasantly surprised by this course, I just wanted to whip through it to get the gist of data studio, but it's very interesting and there's lots of cool tips and tricks, and perhaps most welcome of all, the lessons are concise - a lot of 'tech' courses on udemy are very long, and I'm not against the creators taking their time and including lots of content, but it is difficult to maintain your concentration across 40 hours, especially with a new subject. This was an excellent course.
Excellent course with a general overview of all the features that Looker Studio has to offer. Concise, simple to understand, great presentation and to the point. Excellent!
Very thorough and concise course. I feel like I've gained all of the knowledge I need to get started with building effective reports in Looker Studio. I especially appreciated the "Sales Manager" hands-on exercises.
Really enjoyed this course - having never worked with Looker it was great and gave me all the information i needed for a new role - highly recommend
