The Power of Data Studio

  • Intuitive Design - create dashboard designs that are more intuitive than dashboards in GA & Google Sheets

  • Scale your insights - build shareable dashboards saved in Google Drive

  • Speed up time to insight - build reports and visualisations to answer questions within minutes

  • User friendly Templates and Layouts - will make it easier for users to interpret the data.

Data Studio is a new Data Visualisation Tool created by Google. It is part of the Google Suite including Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides.

Data Studio is FREE and allows you to connect to a range of data sources.

It's an incredible tool to create powerful and interactive dashboards for you to explore your underlying data.

I look forward to showing you how powerful Data Studio is for speeding up time to insight.

This course has not been updated in years. Therefore the content has almost zero value. Don't waste your money.

Good for learning the basics. Some of the information is outdated with latest version such as where to rename pages.

The course has good information on the creation of dashboards. But does not cover in detail about how to connect data sources and scrub the data source in data studio. This is more of a beginner level course and not intermediate.

A pesar de ser un curso introductorio, creo que hay cosas que se podrían explicar con mejor detalle.
