Python courses: spreadsheet jobs you type and run in Google Colab

Do the spreadsheet jobs that come back every month with a few lines of Python in the free Google Colab: total and rank a sales export, stack three monthly exports into one quarter, and clean a messy invoice export before you total it.

Every module is a hands-on practice on real Colab screens where you type every line yourself, one or two lines per step, then a checklist to do it again in your own notebook. The course comes with a one-page cheat sheet and the few terms you meet most.

Who it is for: office managers, bookkeepers and analysts who total and fix exports by hand. A free Google account and a browser are enough; the made-up office-supply shop in it uses the same lines you then run on your own files.
