Kursbeskrivning

A loan amortization schedule is often perceived as a tool exclusively for bankers and financial traders. However, this course aims to debunk this misconception by introducing the practical applications of amortization schedules in everyday life.

The focus will be on empowering users with the skills to make informed decisions about their loans and financial health by leveraging the powerful features of Google Sheets.

Creating a Dynamic Loan Dashboard

One of the highlights of this course is the development of a comprehensive dashboard in Google Sheets. This dashboard will incorporate advanced techniques such as visualizations and conditional formulas.
