谷歌表格删除空白表格

Over the years, I've used Google Sheets a few times, and usually for basic tasks. Yesterday, I was surprised and impressed to see what it can do, thanks to Ben Collins. He builds interactive dashboards with Google Sheets, complete with pivot tables and maps, using the built-in features. Who knew that all this was possible, in a free, online spreadsheet application?

多年来，我已经多次使用Google表格，并且通常用于基本任务。昨天，感谢本·柯林斯(Ben Collins)，我惊讶地看到它可以做什么。他使用内置功能，使用Google表格构建了互动式信息中心，并配有数据透视表和地图。谁知道在免费的在线电子表格应用程序中所有这些都是可能的？

仍然爱Excel (Still Love Excel)

Now, I'm not saying this to discourage you from using Excel! It's still my favourite program, and maybe it's yours too. We've got countless years, dollars and tears invested in it!

现在，我并不是说这会阻止您使用Excel！它仍然是我最喜欢的程序，也许它也是您的。我们投入了无数的岁月，金钱和眼泪！

But, if you want to expand your skill set a bit outside of Excel, take a look at Google Sheets, and what it can do.

但是，如果您想在Excel之外扩展一些技能，请查看Google表格及其功能。

带有Google表格的仪表板 (Dashboards with Google Sheets)

Ben emailed me, to announce his new course -- Build Dashboards With Google Sheets and Data Studio. He also gave me access to the course, so I could take a look.

Ben给我发了电子邮件，宣布了他的新课程- 使用Google Sheets和Data Studio构建仪表板。他还给了我访问该课程的权限，所以我可以看看。

I thanked him politely, and promised to mention it on my Spreadsheet Day blog. I know that Ben produces quality material on his blog, and figured his course would be good too. I just didn't think that it would be of interest to the people reading this Excel blog.

我礼貌地感谢他，并答应在我的Spreadsheet Day博客中提及它。我知道Ben在他的博客上制作了高质量的材料，并认为他的课程也会很好。我只是不认为阅读此Excel博客的人会感兴趣。

Well, I might be wrong about that!

好吧，我可能错了！

观看视频 (Watching the Videos)

After logging into the course, I thought I'd skim through a few of the videos, to get an overview of the course and its quality. Each video is only a few minutes long, and Ben has an engaging presentation style (and charming British accent).

登录该课程后，我认为我会浏览一些视频，以大致了解该课程及其质量。每个视频只有几分钟长，Ben具有引人入胜的演示风格(和迷人的英国口音)。

As I'm writing this blog post, I'm 14 videos into the course, and still watching! It's amazing to see what Google Sheets can do – quickly and easily. To get Ben's sample data, in order to follow along, I clicked the link below one of the videos. A new tab opened in the browser, and there was the data, in Google Sheets. Very cool! Then, I saved a copy of the file into my own Google Drive.

在撰写此博客文章时，我正在观看该课程的14个视频，并且仍在观看！快速，轻松地看到Google表格可以做什么，真是太神奇了。为了获得Ben的样本数据，为了跟进，我单击了其中一个视频下面的链接。在浏览器中打开了一个新标签，并且Google表格中有数据。很酷！然后，我将文件的副本保存到了自己的Google云端硬盘中。

And here's a little map that I made, after seeing Ben's demo with this data.

这是我在查看Ben的演示数据后制作的一张小地图。

仪表板课程内容 (Dashboard Course Content)

So, despite my initial hesitation, I'm recommending that you take a look at Ben's new course -- Build Dashboards With Google Sheets and Data Studio. As a fellow spreadsheet fan, you might find it useful and fascinating too.

因此，尽管有些犹豫，我还是建议您看看Ben的新课程- 使用Google Sheets和Data Studio构建仪表板。作为电子表格的忠实粉丝，您可能会发现它也很有用且引人入胜。

The course has over 9 hours of videos, and 5 sample dashboard files, and you get lifetime access to it. There's also a free group you can join, to ask questions and discuss the course material.

该课程有9个小时以上的视频和5个示例仪表板文件，您可以终生使用它。您还可以免费加入一个小组，以提问和讨论课程材料。

获得课程折扣 (Get the Course Discount)

I was going to complete more of the course, and then let you know about it in a week or two. But then I noticed a deadline, so I had to scrap that plan.

我打算完成更多的课程，然后在一两周内让您知道。但是后来我注意到了最后期限，所以我不得不取消该计划。

新冒险 (A New Adventure)

It's not for all spreadsheet fans – some of us will never stray from our old, faithful friend, Microsoft Excel. And I'm not giving up Excel for Google Sheets – it's just something new and interesting to explore.

它并不适合所有电子表格爱好者–我们中的某些人永远不会偏离我们忠实的老朋友Microsoft Excel。而且，我并没有放弃Excel for Google Sheets –这只是一个新颖而有趣的探索。
