Course details
In addition to the benefit of not having all your valuable data stored on local machines, many cloud services now offer methods for turning data into valuable insights that you can use to make key business decisions. This course with instructor Nikiya Simpson shows you how to create analytics dashboards from data you collect and store in Google Cloud Platform. Nikiya explains how to collect and import your data into Google Cloud Platform using Google Forms. She also shows you ways to query data in BigQuery and save queries to use in Google Data Studio, how to create visualizations based on your data in Google Data Studio, and how to share dashboards with others in your organization. She shows all this by building a custom dashboard that you can then use as a template for your small business or startup, created entirely in your web browser.
