Very good and useful practice of SQL. The JOIN party is pretty hardcore so I definitely couldn't master it but got enough of an understanding where I could learn quickly with some on the job training.

Certain Public data sets have changed their data fields values into "nulls", had to work around on the same activities/exercise with other available data sets to learn few SQL queries, by far from my learning experience this was one of the complex course covering numerous concepts and this one needs more practice and for that matter all the covered courses needs practice and there should a detailed map which i am planning to prepare, presumably share with others.

I Wholeheartedly Thank the Tutors from Google and Utmost Respect to the Tutors of this course, you have patiently imparted your knowledge in us, showed us the learners the path and now it is our duty to do the Best with the practice and learning and with applying. Thank You.

Este módulo del curso es muy bueno. Tener en cuenta que es una introducción a SQL y a funciones un poco mas avanzadas en hojas de cálculos. En SQL, aprenderás a acostumbrarte a la estructura básica SELECT FROM WHERE. Además verás en acción funciones como JOIN y sus variantes, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING, CASE y WITH. A medida que vas avanzando en el curso, los elementos y recursos que vas aprendiendo te va a ayudar a pensar en diferentes formas con las que puedes atacar tus ideas o proyectos. Respecto a hojas de cálculos, aprenderás funciones como SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, VLOOKUP. La profesora Ayanna es objetiva concisa y lleva muy bien las clases y el contenido.

I absolutely love the diversity in the presenters for each of these courses in the program. The presenters were very knowledgeable but were excellent in breaking down the information in a beginner-friendly manner. There was so much content, but possible to learn and understand. I really loved the interactive lessons that gave the learner the plenty opportunity to practice the new content within each lesson. I really enjoyed this program that helped me to learn what I needed to learn without feeling overwhelmed. It was also extremely helpful that the design of the new information was always presented in a manner that real-world applications.

It was a great course! I was able to learn a lot of fundamentals about the data analysis process. I will continue learning and going to the next course of the Google Analytics Professional Certificate. Thanks once again for the materials you provided.

I was able to learn about the analysis, data validation and many other important information that might be harder to understand in other platforms in a seamless and easier way of understanding the crucial information! Hope to have the same experience in the next course "Course 6: Share Data Through the Art of Visualization". Thank you once again!

Realmente el curso es muy bueno , he aprendido mucho sobre el manejo, en google sheets ,del menu principal en el submenú Datos . Lo mismo ha sucedido con SQL y como realizar la sintaxis al usar los comandos (statements) SELECT , FROM , WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY , JOIN ,COUNT, CONCAT Y otros. Ha sido muy importante el uso de BigQuery console , para seguir las sesiones o lecciones y para realizar los ejercicios que por mi parte he podido construir para obtener respuestas a las preguntas que me hago sobre un conjunto de datos que se encuentren alli en la BigQuery console

I recently took the Analyze Data to Answer Questions online course. It is an excellent resource for anyone learning more about using spreadsheets and SQL to analyze data. The course covered all the necessary functions of these tools in an easy-to-understand manner, making it accessible to students of all skill levels. The instructor did an excellent job of explaining technical concepts in simple, understandable language, which helped to make the course enjoyable and engaging. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their data analysis skills.

To Ms LAYLA, I do value the insights and guidance you have provided me all through out your course. IT WAS REALLY HARD, harder than Ms SALLY. But, It is worth challenging job working on the quizzes. Its hard to grasp everything in just limited time. I really need to review everything. What I missed most is working on bigquery. Whenever I tried to run my project, the administrator disabled that feature, even if I am still within the period of free trial. Anyway, I was able to pass through the eye of a needle. Thank you to All the lecturers.

Awesome job by Google. Deserves more appreciation than it already enjoys. Could have been even better if the complex queries and analysis processes were discussed more along with a thorough look up at every aspect of complex queries so that such teachings could also be tested in the weekly and course challenges. This would have added more confidence for the learner in his/her abilities upon the completion of the certificate. But once again, it is a wonderful course with a very well-defined structure and instructions. Too good.

It was an incredibly valuable learning experience. The course covered a wide range of topics, from basic SQL commands to advanced data analysis techniques, which helped me gain a solid understanding of how to work with and manipulate data in a real-world setting. The hands-on experience I gained from working on real business problems was particularly useful and helped me to apply the concepts I learned in a practical way. Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their SQL and data analysis skills

This course exceeded my expectations in every way possible! As someone who works with data daily, I wanted to enhance my analytical skills further, and this course delivered exactly that. The modules were well-structured, covering everything from formulating questions to advanced techniques for analyzing large datasets. What truly sets this course apart is the practical aspect - there are numerous opportunities throughout each lesson to apply what you've learned through interactive exercises and assignments.

The Google Data Analytics course is a gem for starters and experienced alike. It encompasses much above what the youtubers are offering as it explores the causation of a training requirement and then matches it with the relevant topic. Although the course does not delve deep, it still is able to convey the larger requirements of a Data Analyst and provides all basic skills and leaves the mastering of the topic on the analyst who can go and exemplify skills of his/her own liking and requirements. Hats off!

This course gives a lot of good practical experience in using SQL and spreadsheets to analyze data. By the end of the course you will know the limitations and advantages of each of these tools and will know which one is best suited for which type of analysis.

The course also introduces many SQL commands that are used in conjunction with one another in order to extract information from raw data. By practicing these concepts you will have a good understanding of how to gain insights from a dataset.

The course was very useful, it had a lot of information and tools to analyze data. I could say that this and the previous course provide the technical tools and the second and third course increase my detective skills.

I learned many more tools to work with my data and with the knowledge I gained I started to think of ways to use it and create data projects.

The teacher was a good guide, in this course I think she was sometimes fast when using Bigquery but the platform allows you to follow up.

Sometimes the results I got was different from what the videos suggested, and it was a bit difficult to figure out if the datasets changed or I did something wrong. Other than this I think I learned a lot from this course and could get some ideas on what's done in the analyze phase. Although I think explanations could be more detailed on more complex queries, I liked the fact that I could learn such queries and the program provides many resources I can refer to to learn more.

I enjoyed it. The SQL is new, most all of this is new. I chose this certificate over other things I could study in my free time because I believed it could offer me skills in my current professional role and it has delivered. Only 1/5 of my week might be spent working with data directly but these courses have helped me to respect data much more and helped me to use it in leveraging some situations. I do believe these courses will help me grow further with my career goals.

Ayanna did a great job on guiding and sharing her experiences on analyzing data. The course did help me to understand fundamentals of the spreadsheet and bigquery, materials are all amazing and reachable.

However there are still things I hope course might be improved: First is the syllabus, I do think team need to organize them and categorize them more precisely, secondly is the materials, there are so many of them, but the order sometimes confused me when I open links.

I learnt so much about the phase Analyze in data analysis. This course covers less theoretical concepts and focuses more on practical activities, which I enjoyed most. I had more time to use spreadsheet and SQL to organize, format, and perform calculations on data, which are some of the most common tasks of data analysts. Overall, I really enjoyed what I learnt in this course. Thanks Google and Coursera for offering this course here. Please keep up your good work!

I just wanted to express my appreciation for the incredible learning experience I had with the course instructors. Their detailed and step-by-step approach to teaching the material was impressive. The course structure was well-planned, with each lesson building on the previous one, making it easy to follow along and understand. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and supportive throughout the entire program. Thank you for a fantastic learning journey.

This was a challenging course. The instructor is very knowledgeable on Spreadsheets and SQL but there are some times when she goes too fast for beginners like myself. I suspect that this is probably due to limitations and restrictions that the team at Google placed on this course. It can be improved. But there are plenty of resources given to find the answers one is looking for, provided that the learner is willing to dig in and investigate. Wish you the best.

Very informative material, espeically SQL & BigQuery. I'm not fond of "Select All That Apply" challenge questions, but I suppose they do serve a purpose... I simply need to read ALL of the words contained in challenge questions so that I can provide a complete response. Looking forward to a future where I might be able to use all of this newfound knowledge. The course presenter was yet another extraordinarily smart indvidual from the Google Team.

The material was good but could be more challenging , I wish the course used real datasets and provided excercises on this dataset. For instance Choose a dataset and explain the concepts first and send the partipant to explore and answer questions about the dataset. What I mean is From the first course Choose a made up problem and have the learner solve the problem with the concepts learned as if it were facing a real problem at a real company.

The course was highly informative and provided valuable insights into analyzing data. The content was well-structured, and the explanations were clear and easy to follow. I particularly appreciated the practical examples and real-world scenarios used to demonstrate the concepts. Overall, it was a great learning experience, and I would highly recommend this course for anyone interested in enhancing their data analysis skills.

Good content over all. Well worth taking. Warning: Some of the SQL examples fail to run in BigQuery as they are written in the course. That made it very frustrating to try to learn from them. If you are new to SQL and don't get too attached to everything being perfect. As long as you are learning the concepts you'll be OK. Take the time to make great notes that you can use later in your career as a Data Analyst.

This Course from Google, gave me an in-depth view of SQL and Spreadsheet Functions & Formulas for Data Analysis.

Indeed, After completing this course, and following through the hands-on sessions on BigQuery, my SQL skills have been sharpened and my ability to have an in-depth approach to any data analytics project has been galvanized.

The tutor was simply amazing too in her explanations.

In the Google Data Analytics Professional Certification journey, this was by far the toughest course so far. However, the instructor was great. The emphasis was more on on the video sessions in parallel, which was great. Ayanna was also to the point (more like a strict professor :) in a good way) which made the session focussed BUT a bit intensive, personally for me. Overall, excellent course.
