Stop using the IF/IFS formula, and try this alternative which is way easier! 👇 Here is why I prefer the SWITCH() formula: 1️⃣ Easier to Read: shorter and looks cleaner when there are lots of conditions. 2️⃣ No Messy Layers: It avoids the confusing layers of IF formulas. 3️⃣ Clear Matches: Shows each condition with its result in a simple way. 4️⃣ Stops Early: Stops checking once it finds a match, which saves time. 5️⃣ Backup Result: You can add a "just in case" result if nothing matches. #GoogleSheets #GoogleSheetsTips #Finance #Accounting

Working with others in a spreadsheet can feel like chaos ... But it doesn’t have to! Google Sheets has some amazing features to make teamwork easy and stress-free. Here are a few tips to get the most out of it: 1️⃣ Control Access: Share your spreadsheet with the right level of access—edit, comment, or view. This way, you can get feedback without worrying about anyone accidentally breaking your formulas. 2️⃣ Tag Teammates: Need someone’s input? Type @name in a comment, and they’ll get an email to check it out. 3️⃣ Track Changes: Use Version History (under File) to see every change and even roll back to earlier versions if needed. 4️⃣ See Who Edited What: Right-click on any cell and choose Show Edit History to find out who made changes and when. Perfect for solving "What happened here?" mysteries! 5️⃣ Link Data Across Sheets: Use IMPORTRANGE to connect different spreadsheets and always have the latest updates in one place. Bonus Tip: Protect key cells with Protected Ranges so others can edit the rest of the sheet without touching the important stuff. These tools can save time, avoid confusion, and make collaboration much smoother. What’s one Google Sheets tip you can’t live without? 👇

Why you should always start with spreadsheets before BI tools. Many people ask why I don't jump straight into using BI tools for dashboards? 🤔 Here's why starting with spreadsheets is a game-changer: 1. Quick Prototyping: Spreadsheets will let you quickly layout data, test formulas, and visualize results without the overhead of setting up a BI tool. 2. Instant Adjustments: You can tweak and refine your analysis on the fly, ensuring everything looks right before involving the BI/data team. 3. Clear Communication: Creating a prototype in a spreadsheet makes it easier to communicate your vision to the BI/data team, minimizing misunderstandings. 4. Financial Context: Since BI/data teams might lack specific financial insights, a spreadsheet prototype helps them understand the required logic and context, saving time and effort. Starting with spreadsheets ensures the final dashboard is accurate, clear, and aligned with our needs. How do you prefer to start your dashboard projects? 👀 #Excel #Googlesheets #Finance #Accounting
