Final project
You will build a live master sales dashboard. It imports three source files (a Google Sheet, a public CSV, and a web table), cleans them on a separate tab, combines them with QUERY, and shows the results in a summary view. You will add error handling and run a speed check before you finish. You also get six downloadable PDFs: formula templates, a checklist and cheat sheet, an FAQ, a swipe file of 5 examples, an action plan worksheet, and a troubleshooting guide.
