Google Sheets for Personal Finance

In this course, you’ll learn how to use Google Sheets as a complete personal finance toolkit—from setting up income and expense tables to building a monthly budget that compares projected versus actual spending. You’ll see how to structure your data with smart tables, use dropdowns and data validation for clean, consistent entry, and write formulas that automatically calculate totals, differences, and percentages. You’ll create summary sheets that bring your key numbers together, design charts that visually highlight where your money is going, and build pivot tables to analyze spending by category, month, or other criteria. Along the way, you’ll also explore how to model loan payments and investments so you can use Google Sheets not just to track your finances, but to plan and make better decisions about your money.
