Course Description

Learn to solve any business modeling task you might ever experience!

Have you ever felt that you're regularly repeating some tasks in Google Sheets or Excel?

Have you ever thought about the time you would save if you would automate those tasks?


All the work you're doing in a repetitive manner in Google Sheets or Excel could be automated. It requires no coding skills, add-ons, or special tools - all you need to know is how to execute advanced formula combinations that will do all the automation for you.


This course focuses on teaching you the right skill set, so you could solve any business modeling task you might ever experience. I don't want to teach you only to execute some certain format of automation, I want you to be able to think outside of a certain tool - to literally be able to solve anything in the reporting automation or business modeling area. Everything we're learning along the course (which is a lot, really!) is only the start for you. I promise that after you complete the whole course, you will have tons of ideas on how to make your current work more efficient and automated.


This is a very hands-on course. You will learn the key formulas, practice them, build a complex but rewarding project, and then try to solve the challenges on your own. The course is designed to give you advanced-level skills that you will feel comfortable executing later in your own work. Please note that this is not a beginner-level course by design and by any means. However beginners are welcomed to take the course in case you're prepared to learn a lot by yourself in parallel and make some extra effort while taking this course.


What you can look forward to in this course:

  • Learn highly advanced and complex formula combinations

  • Build scalable and automated reporting tools that don't break

  • Build files that don't require any manual intervention for keeping them working

  • Learn how to make your files look professional and easy-to-track

  • Work out automated and semi-automated business forecasting methodology

  • Build a framework for market size estimation and competitor tracking (with real examples!)

  • Create impressive charts

  • Receive a fully functional business reporting template

  • Learn tips & tricks for future development (like using scripts)

  • Complete a lot of exercises

  • Save hundreds of hours of time with only you being required to take this course

Instructor Details

Mariel Aim

My name is Mariel Aim and I am so excited that you're reading this!

Professionally, I work for the European fastest growing technology firm Bolt as the Director of Business Analytics where I'm responsible for the whole business analytics and financial planning domain of a business vertical with over €6B valuation. Prior, I have a background in consulting (specifically M&A) and hold an MBA in Economics with sub-focus on data science.

One of my core competencies is business modeling - and anything that has to do with Google Sheets. I have worked out a number of key business reporting solutions from scratch for the management, cross-functional and operational teams to use, which have saved thousands of hours in time and improved the reporting quality and convenience to a very high extent. Sometimes I think that if Google Sheets Engineering would be a job, this probably would be mine. ☺

I'm a strong believer in a world full of automating the non-value creating and routine tasks. And I can't wait for sharing my knowledge with you!

The course looks interesting, and at the same time, a bit intimidating. I'm liking the base, but coming from a Marketing/Communications background, I think I will need to practice the concepts more than once.

By Nabil Zrigui on 1/20/2025

I don't really recommend this course. Better save the money for another course. Thanks to the instructor for the effort made. However, some metrics are wrongly calculated + results are not always correct + she talks too fast + explanation is not clear and lucks proficiency.

By Eva Dong on 8/28/2024

This course is mostly about Index & Match formulas. It has very little to do with reporting automation or business modeling or forecasts. And I found her approach often overcomplicating to make up for the fact that there are no real reporting automation techniques taught in the class. Just mostly use index & match to calculate dates and find metrics from other sheets. If you haven't done any weekly/monthly reporting on a project or don't know Index&Match, Countifs, or Indirect & Address, you will learn something. Otherwise, it's a waste of time.

By Anonymized User on 8/21/2024

The course does a fantastic job of presenting information in a clear, professional format that's easy to follow. One technique I've been able to apply immediately is automating some of our regular reports. However, I would appreciate it more if she could have spent less time on the introduction.

By Ben Ronkin on 11/30/2023

I've taken several courses on Udemy, some of which were fantastic, but this is the first course (I believe) that is so good that I feel compelled to leave a review. I'm a web developer with interest in Google Workspace automation. I've always preferred to do all the automation in Apps Script, but some of my clients asked for solutions using Google formulas. This course is excellent in going super-deep and hands-on on automating reporting. The instructor clearly has deep industry experience in not only the technical aspects of automating reports that business executives consume, but also in how to handle a spreadsheet effectively and efficiently. So it's not just about mastering the formulas but also about how to operate the spreadsheet and its data. I recommend this course wholeheartedly.

This is one of the extra-ordinary courses I have ever undergone at Udemy. The instructor is purely straight to the point and makes it very easier to understand. So far I completed almost 25% of it and "use of dollar sign" "IFERROR" , "INDEX and MATCH", "TRANSPOSE", "IMPORTRANGE' are great learnings and life savings. Thanks to the instructor for putting such effort. I highly recommend this course for those who want to get the most out of google spreadsheet.

By Jonathan Sanborn on 6/25/2022

As someone who has experience with Index/Match formulas, this was a great refresher without being too remedial and seeing the formula effects in Google Sheets. Thank you so much for putting this together, really enjoyed the class and top notch instruction/examples.

By Marko Toomla on 1/18/2022

Seems to very good course to learn new complex formulas. I like course build up which is great (learning formulas, then consolidate with different dashboards tasks) But! lecturer speaks and showing task too fast (can't really process everything and also I have to pause video many times to process again.

By Carlos Azevedo on 8/25/2021

The course is FANTASTIC! First, it is clear that Mariel knows the topic. She is a real professional and it becomes clear as we progress in the course. I have used excel for 21 years. I am still a heavy user. However I was made aware recently of the great use of query funciton within Google Sheets a while ago and started to understand the power of Google Sheets. This course may not be perfect for beginners, however, for intermidate and advanced users, it is FANTASTIC. Thanks Mariel for the amazing course. I really enjoyed your teaching style and your expertise. What a treat! Thanks.

By Opeyemi Basiru Amodu on 6/19/2021

I have been using excel for a long time but never really used Google sheet simply because I have been overlooking and underming Google sheet. This lecture has opened my eyes on what I have been missing and what I could do with Google sheet. Thank you, Mariel!
