I wasn't really new to Data Studio but still I've learned a few new tricks. I'v youre a beginner and want to learn Data Studio and want to experiment with it, then this course is for you. Annabel Lyle is a good tutor, she explains everything very good. You can follow her along and start building your own dashboards.

A very informative and detailed discussion and friendly to beginners. Great job!

Really good course, easy to follow and very well explained would highly recommend it. Covers all the areas you need in easy to follow format to build a great report.

Pressed for time so could not fully complete exercise and then there was no way to complete exercise to get credit for course and get certificate.

i need some advance concepts

Great Lectures! Very concise and direct. Well explained!

3 times better and more insightful than the Analytics Academy course! Well done Annabel

Wonderful narration and easy to follow visualization:)

Having taken a number of courses on Udemy, I've found this one to be the most engaging and well explained whilst also not being too verbose.

Great course, looking forward to building dashboards with my own data.

This is a great course for learning how to generate useful interactive reports.

Fantastic intro to Data Studio, thank you.
