Google Connected sheet is a new type of spreadsheet that activates a special mode in your Google Sheet. This special connection overrides most of the limitation you have in normal Google sheet(like 10K rows). This is really an important feature for Analyst and Marketers who want to analyze bulk data sets in billion of rows.
And particularly the important feature is to connect Bigquery with this Connected Sheet. Imagine without SQL Queries you can now cleanse multiple data with Google Sheet(aka Excel) formulas?
It’s going to be super easy for people like me because instead of getting the hand dirty at SQL queries in the database, it is much easier to use Formula (just saying for being lazy 😁 )
Connected sheets provides a new integration between Sheets and BigQuery that is designed to make analysis on data stored in BigQuery very easy, with no knowledge of SQL required (collectively the “Test Product”). Users simply need to know basic spreadsheet operations (like writing formulas, creating charts and pivot tables) to do analysis on large BigQuery datasets.
Introducing the Connected Sheet by Google
Table of Contents
Introducing the connected sheet (beta coming soon): a new type of spreadsheet that activates only when using the Sheets data connector, allowing you to access, analyze, visualize, and collaborate on up to 10 billion rows of BigQuery data — no SQL scripts needed.
SQL can still be used when connecting BigQuery data to Sheets. However, with the new connected sheet, it’s even easier for you to surface insights in Sheets without the need for a BigQuery or SQL expert, saving time for both users and experts. You can then make sense of that data with spreadsheet formulas or perform deeper analysis with features like pivot tables, and charts. It’s that easy.
- Access and refresh large volumes of connected data without CSVs
- Streamline reporting workflows
- Simplify collaboration with other analysts and stakeholders
When Google connected sheets going to be released?
We’ve been previewing the connected sheet with a small set of Google Cloud Platform and G Suite customers, and we plan to extend this capability to more customers through our beta program by the end of 2019. The connected sheet will be open to customers of both BigQuery and G Suite (Business, Enterprise, Drive Enterprise, Education, Enterprise for Education and Nonprofits editions). BigQuery admins may apply with their primary domain on behalf of their organization.
