I have a google form that is being used by the employees of my firm to upload stock details. Now daily it has around 20 entries daily. I used google form since I can manage the data in google sheet pretty easily. But using IMPORTRANGE on these files has made it very slow. Thus, I wanted to shift to SQL database.
The issue I am facing is that if I push data from google sheet, then I'll manually have to do it everytime. I want that google form to send the data to the sql database directly so that I can manage the data on that which can increase the computational speed.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Currently I am using google sheet to manage the data, which is very slow.

I am trying to create a google sheet that updates and stacks the data from a Salesforce report on a daily basis. I tried to use the Data connector for Salesforce add, it exports the data just fine but when I change the date, it replaces everything it exported the first time. What I wanted it to do is to Extract the data today, store it in the sheet, and Export another time tomorrow adding the data to the existing one. I have no coding knowledge and SQL stuff and I'm trying to learn things to help my work.
Your response is highly appreciated
I have data in Google Data Studio that gets updated from a few sources that don't have historical data. One is a csv of content from our CMS (page, date last updated, etc) that I pull into GDS from Google Cloud Storage, and the other are several Supermetrics Data Studio connectors.
What I'm trying to do is to get the data that is in these GDS reports and automatically pull it into Google Sheets. I've tried making a public report and then using the ImportXML or ImportHTML functions, but that doesn't work. I would love to take those numbers that are pulled into the GDS report, have them display in a cell in Google Sheets, and then use a script to daily add that number to a row in a data sheet, thereby creating a historical set of data from the data in a GDS report.
Has anyone figured out how to do that?
Currently(Apr 2021) there is no automated way to get numbers out of Data Studio into Google Sheets. You can manually export a chart's data by clicking on the chart options and then exporting to Sheets.
If your intention is to automate this, then I suggest revisiting your data flow. Data Studio should be used as a reporting tool and not a data processing one. It should be the last node in your data pipeline. If you need to process and materialize your data in a recurring automated way, that should happen before the data hits Data Studio.
I have a table in Big Query that is coming from Data Prep after some processing. Now I need to get this data to google sheets. I am currently importing the data from Big Query to Google Sheets using the "OWOX BI Big Query Reports" connector.It works fine till I have to refresh it again. All the new columns that I create in Google Sheets after importing the data get removed every time I refresh the data using the connector mentioned above.Is there a better way to fetch data from Big query without disrupting the created columns?
You are using Google Sheets wrong. Don't modify to sheet BQ creates, instead reuse the data in other sheet with IMPORTRANGE function, this way you create a copy of the data and columns created on this new sheet won't disappear.

I know its possible with Google Sheets but i don,t know how to prepare one as am new to this platform.
Please Help.
If you use
=importrange("sheet url", "range you want to import")
on a separate sheet, it will update dynamically as they change things - I have done this specifically with remote employees previously
I want to use Google spreadsheets to store data online so multiple people can enter and maintain data, then publish or export (csv, xls, ods) the sheet for their application. What is the easiest way to process the sheet? If the data can be accessed as a link the updates could be immediately reflected in the client's app.
This article Data Scraping Wikipedia with Google Spreadsheets discusses using Google spreadsheets as an application platform.
It already has features that allow you to share the spreadsheet with multiple editors, as well as the ability to define forms that you can invite people to fill out who's results will be entered into the spreadsheet as a row.
Just in case its still vaguely of interest 5 months later, there is a SQL-like wrapper language for Google Spreadsheets at:

Its very much an alpha release - but maybe its of some use or perhaps the code could give you some ideas.
I think if I am clear on your requirements, you want to store your data online in a Google Spreadsheet where multiple people can access that right? Then you want an app to use that data? Correct me if I am wrong.
It is possible to have Google spreadsheet as a database and the client app can directly access that data through APIs - spreadsheet APIs . If you want a simple link where people can go and update - you can also have a web app using google apps scripting. very simple to use and would solve your purpose too , why to export your data to ods, xls, csv, make your app directly over Google Spreadsheet. Would be maintainable too.
