Today I’m going to show you something I actually use daily. Or because Google sheets allows you to extend it using a modern programming language, JavaScript, you can add really cool functionality that runs entirely within your Browser. You can have backend scripts running on a Linux server that connect to your sheet and dump the data you want into your sheet. There are so many cool use cases for Google Sheets because it has a robust front-end and back-end API. Learn to code, move those models out of Excel, and automate your data munging/computation so you can free your mind up for actual analysis.Įnough Ranting though and back to why Google Sheets is great! As a former financial analyst and reformed Excel Guru, I can say without a doubt but if you’re an analyst who is using Excel for anything more than displaying data, or basic math then you are behind the times. I actively try to get people away from Excel. To put it quite simple, Google sheets is amazing! Over the past year I have been getting really big into Cryptocurrencies.īeing a Software Engineer, I have tried to automate wherever possible my cryptocurrency analysis and so I have decided to create a series of blog posts to share some of those tools and also just general knowledge I have learned about the crypto space.
