Create a Budget in Google Sheets

Create a Budget in Google Sheets is a lesson from Google's Applied Digital Skills programme, hosted on the Google for Education learning site. It teaches you to make financial decisions by researching costs and comparing spending in a spreadsheet. The lesson runs through making a long-term spending decision, researching and collecting data, adding rows and duplicating formulas, using data and formulas to inform a decision, and developing a budget, with extension activities on researching car loans and planning a vacation. Google lists the duration as 7 hours (7 to 9 hours on the lesson card), names Sheets, Search and Maps as the digital tools, and lists conditional formulas, data analysis and organising data as the skills.

The stated audience is middle-school and high-school students, and optional teaching materials are included for classrooms. Applied Digital Skills describes its video lessons as free of charge, and the lesson page shows a credential for completion. Nothing on the page states a level, so none is recorded.
