Research direction

Open the linked Google Sheets template and review the dataset used in the earlier coursework. Complete both SQL tasks in a new sheet within the same Google Sheet, then verify that the sheet has read access for anyone with the link and submit that link.

Why are we doing this?

To practice how to use Google Sheets to store and query data. This should make sure we understand the basics of SQL and how to use it to query data.

We're going to practice extracting data from a database, using SQL. We will use the same data set we used in the Learn about Google Sheets coursework.

Please complete the following tasks:

  1. Emily Smith would like to be able to quickly see how many deals she's made. She only cares about Deal Value and Expected Close date to see when she'll be paid. Create a query that will give only this information.
  2. As the accountant for this business, I need to find out how much we’ve sold in each country to pay our taxes. Deals are only complete when they have the status "Closed Won", so we should only include those deals. To make the data easier to work with, we can sort them by country. Can you write a query to get this information?

Acceptance criteria

  • I have completed both tasks.
  • I have added them to a new sheet in my Google sheet I created in the "Learn about Google Sheets" coursework.
