Excel and Google Sheets Basics for Small Traders
A free, hands-on course that turns spreadsheets into a decision tool for small traders, shop owners and market sellers. Across twelve thirty-minute micro-lessons you learn to enter and format data cleanly, do basic calculations, use SUM, AVERAGE and IF, build a sales and inventory tracker, filter and sort, draw simple trend charts, work in Google Sheets on your phone, let AI write formulas for you, read numbers to make decisions, catch common errors, and assemble your shop's own spreadsheet kit. Anchored in ten classic Excel and data books, from Walkenbach's Excel Bible to Knaflic's Storytelling with Data and Mollick's Co-Intelligence. Built on three pillars: humans at the center — you make the final call on every decision; mastering AI — AI writes formulas, you verify and decide; and no one left behind — plain language, ready-made templates and offline Hub support so even first-time computer users finish with a working toolkit.
