Arcade Simulator: Data Mesh Architect
Earned Jul 30, 2026 EDT
This course builds on some of the concepts covered in the earlier Google Sheets course. In this course, you will learn how to apply and customize themes In Google Sheets, and explore conditional formatting options. You will learn about some of Google Sheets’ advanced formulas and functions. You will explore how to create formulas using functions, and you will also learn how to reference and validate your data in a Google Sheet. Spreadsheets can hold millions of numbers, formulas, and text. Making sense of all of that data can be difficult without a summary or visualization. This course explores the data visualization options in Google Sheets, such as charts and pivot tables. Google Forms are online surveys used to collect data and provide the opportunity for quick data analysis. You will explore how Forms and Sheets work together by connecting collected Form data to a spreadsheet, or by creating a Form from an existing spreadsheet.
Welcome to this month's Arcade Simulator where you will be a Data Mesh Architect. In this simulation, you'll first tackle BigQuery to build date-partitioned tables, solve complex join pitfalls, and master nested data structures. Then, you'll shift to decentralized governance using Dataplex Knowledge Catalog to organize assets, assign metadata, and enforce strict cloud security. Complete with two realistic challenge labs, this simulation equips you to break down data silos, scale your infrastructure, and run a secure, seamless data mesh.
