Sync Google Sheets data into Panoply

ETL the Modern Way. Get your data out of Google Sheets so you can analyze it.

The Google Sheets data source enables you to retrieve data from your spreadsheets (under your Google/Google Docs account). By default, it creates a table for each spreadsheet file that you want to pull data from. And if one of your files contain multiple sheets/tabs in it, it will create a table for each one of them. The first row of your spreadsheet file is converted into column names for your destination table, while the rest of the rows will become the records of the table.

Modernizing Google Sheets ETL

What is ETL?

Integrating data for analytics can be especially hard in a fast-shifting, rapid growth startup environment, where relevant business data might be spread out across a collection of apps and spreadsheets. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tools will help you collect your data from APIs and file transfers (the Extract step), convert them into standardized analytics-ready tables (the Transform step) and put them all into a single data repository (the Load step) to centralize your analytics efforts.

The shift to ELT

The traditional ETL model is a relic of the pre-cloud era, when compute resources were expensive, and everything needed to be cleaned up before analysis. These days, moving the transformation step closer to the time of analysis is not only feasible, it’s desirable. ELT lets you load raw data, increasing your analytical flexibility and moving relevant data more quickly from your engineering team to your analytics and BI teams.
