I don’t have access to Excel. Can the Accelerator be completed using Google Sheets?

17 views 0 August 22, 2020 Updated on November 26, 2022

Yes, but the experience won’t be the same.

All models created in Accelerator courses and modules are created in Microsoft Excel. In order to use Google Sheets, you’d need to import those files into Google Sheets and there may be compatibility issues.

While it may be possible to complete the Accelerator in Google Sheets, there are differences between both programs that could impede your progress. Furthermore, if you are considering making an investment in the Accelerator program and learning real estate financial modeling, we highly recommend you purchase Microsoft Excel. It is the industry-standard software used in real estate to analyze investments and so your marketability to employers, lenders, and investors is partly tied to your profiency modeling real estate in Excel.

You’re more than welcome to take the Accelerator via Google Sheets, and it will largely be compatible. At the same time, we don’t want to encourage you to take the Accelerator program using Google Sheets without us being completely transparent about those drawbacks.

  I work in a Property Auctions team and wanted to know if the Accelerator will benefit me

How in-depth is the actual Excel modeling in The Accelerator? Do you teach extensive formulas and how to utilize such as lookups, offset etc?
