Google Workspace - Sheets Intermediate Training in Oman

This instructor-led, hands-on course is designed for users who want to move beyond the fundamentals of Google Sheets and develop stronger spreadsheet analysis skills.

Throughout the course, participants learn how to organise, examine, and interpret data more effectively using formulas, functions, and a range of built-in analysis tools.

The programme covers named ranges, advanced cell references, date and time functions, text functions, IF and VLOOKUP, as well as sorting, filtering, charts, and Pivot Tables.

By the end of the course, learners will be more confident working with larger datasets, performing common business analysis tasks, and presenting information in a clear and meaningful way using Google Sheets.
