Hi! I'm a methodologist at Asibiont, and today I want to talk to you about something that worries many business users: endless reports, manual data entry, wasted time on repetitive tasks. If you've ever stayed up until midnight reconciling spreadsheets or double-checking formulas, you're not alone.
According to a McKinsey Global Institute study (2016), employees spend up to 30% of their working time on routine data tasks—sorting, filtering, copying. These aren't just numbers: they're hours that could be dedicated to analysis, strategy, or simply rest. Our course "Excel and Google Sheets" on Asibiont is designed to change that.
Why Excel and Google Sheets Are the Foundation for Any Business
Let's be honest: Excel and Google Sheets are not just "spreadsheets." They are powerful tools used in finance, marketing, logistics, HR, and even IT. According to Statista (2025), Excel remains the most popular data tool among office workers—used by over 1.2 billion people worldwide. Google Sheets, on the other hand, is gaining momentum thanks to cloud collaboration: in 2025, its audience exceeded 500 million active users.
The problem is that most people use only 10-15% of these programs' capabilities. They know how to enter data and do basic sums, but they get lost when they need to build a pivot table, write a macro, or create a dashboard. Yet these are the skills that turn a "simple spreadsheet" into a decision-making tool.
What the "Excel and Google Sheets" Course on Asibiont Is About
This is a practical course for business users—from beginners to those who already work with data but want to systematize their knowledge and reach a new level. We don't teach "everything under the sun": the program focuses on what will actually be useful in your work.
What You Will Learn
Formulas and Functions. From basic (VLOOKUP, SUMIF, IF) to advanced—INDEX+MATCH, INDIRECT, database functions. You'll understand how to combine formulas to automate calculations. For example, instead of manually checking which clients have overdue payments, you'll set up a formula that does it for you.
Pivot Tables. This is the foundation of data analysis. Pivot tables let you aggregate thousands of rows in a few clicks: calculate revenue by month, compare sales by region, find the average check. You'll learn not only how to create them but also how to customize grouping, slicers, and timelines.
Data Visualization and Dashboards. Beautiful charts are not just about aesthetics. A well-built dashboard helps management see key metrics in seconds. We'll cover how to create interactive reports in Excel and Google Sheets: from histograms to dynamic charts with dropdown lists.
VBA Macros and Report Automation. This topic scares beginners, but it's actually accessible to everyone. VBA is a programming language inside Excel. It can automate routine tasks: for example, weekly data export from a system, formatting, and emailing the report. In the course, we write macros for real tasks—data cleaning, merging sheets, creating templates.
Google Sheets and Collaboration. Unlike Excel, Google Sheets allows real-time teamwork. We'll cover functions like IMPORTRANGE, QUERY, FILTER, which are indispensable for gathering data from different sources. Also, setting up access rights and protecting sheets.
Who the Course Is For
The course is universal. If you're a beginner, you'll start with the basics: interface, data types, basic formulas. If you already work with spreadsheets, you can skip familiar topics and focus on complex ones: macros, dashboards, advanced visualization. AI learning on Asibiont adapts the program to your level, so you won't have to review what you already know.
The course will be useful for:
- Financiers and accountants—for automating reports and budget analysis.
- Marketers—for processing advertising campaign data, building funnels.
- HR specialists—for employee tracking, KPI calculation.
- Logisticians—for tracking shipments and inventory.
- Analysts—for rapid report prototyping.
How Learning Works on Asibiont: AI-Generated Lessons Tailored to You
At Asibiont, we use a different approach to learning. No pre-recorded videos that you skip because "I already know this." No generic assignments unrelated to your work. All learning is built around an AI neural network that creates personalized lessons for each student.
How It Works in Practice
When you sign up for the course, you fill out a short questionnaire: your current level, goals, field of activity. Based on this data, the neural network generates a program. Suppose you're a marketer who wants to learn how to analyze advertising campaign data. The AI will select examples with real metrics: CTR, CPC, ROI. If you're an accountant, there will be tasks with VAT, profit and loss reports.
Each lesson is text with explanations, formulas, and examples. You read, then immediately apply in your own spreadsheet. If something is unclear, the AI can explain the topic more simply or give an additional example. No need to wait for a teacher's response—the neural network works in real time.
Why Is This Effective?
A study published in the Journal of Educational Psychology (2023) showed that personalized learning improves material retention by 30-40% compared to traditional courses. The reason is simple: when information is adapted to your level and context, your brain doesn't waste resources filtering out "extras." You learn faster and deeper.
The text format is also intentional. According to Nielsen Norman Group (2024), people read 25% slower on screen than on paper, but they remember details better if the text is structured. Our lessons have no fluff—just the essence, examples, and tasks.
24/7 Access and Your Own Pace
You can study anytime: in the morning before work, during lunch, or late at night. No deadlines or group sessions. If you want to cover a topic in one day—go ahead. If you need to revisit a difficult topic a week later—no problem. The AI remembers your progress.
Real Cases: What Our Students Can Do
Here are a few examples of tasks that students solve after the course:
Automating a monthly sales report. Previously, a manager spent 4 hours collecting data from CRM, Excel, and email. After the course, they wrote a macro that does it in 10 minutes. The report is generated with a single click.
Dashboard for KPI monitoring. A department head wanted to see key performance indicators in real time. The student built a dashboard in Google Sheets with automatic data updates from Google Analytics. Now reporting takes 15 minutes instead of 3 hours.
Data cleaning and consolidation. An employee received files from 10 branches in different formats. They wrote a script that merges them into a single table, removes duplicates, and formats. Manual work is a thing of the past.
These skills not only save time—they increase your value as a specialist. According to LinkedIn (2025), Excel and data analytics skills are among the top 5 most in-demand by employers. Mastering them can lead to a promotion or a higher-paying position.
How to Get Started: Three Steps
If you want to stop spending hours on manual reports and start working with data efficiently, here's what to do:
