I want to connect a Google Sheets to a new BigQuery table that populates and updates the data automatically from Sheets to BigQuery. I'm using this tutorial from Google itself to do the setup.
My problem: the table connected with spreadsheet was created empty so I had to query it and save the result as another table to see and use the data.
I can't post images yet so I ask you please to check this imgur post, please.
I'm not expert in these things but does not seems to be the best way to do it. I found some spreadsheet add-ons but I'm trying to avoid them.
Any ideas what's the best way to do this kind of setup/connection?
I had to configure each column manually
BigQuery provides a variety of tools which make it pretty simple to connect the external table to BigQuery.
One option is to simply use the WebUi and the Auto Detect option which help you not to enter each column manually
This works perfectly for me also when inserting and adding data to the external table.
You can refer to BigQuery official manual on an external table for more help

I saw there are several ways to aggregate multiple sheets into one master file, but I'm struggling to find a way where you aggregate data into one master file but also be able to manipulate the master file too after all information has been gathered.
I was wondering, does a tool like this in google sheets exist? If yes, could somebody guide me to it and I will try it out from there and if not, can another program be used to achieve that?
Currently, I tried query function, and it has achieved aggregating data onto one sheet, but now I want to find a way to manipulate the master sheet without getting errors or changing in the individual sheets
I want to know if there is any update in latest looker version about connecting looker to google sheet directly? if yes then can someone please help me with the steps to do the same.
One simple way is to connect Google Sheet directly to your database.
Here's an example to Looker's internal use case:
https://help.looker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023860613-How-to-use-Google-Spreadsheets-to-Input-Data-into-Looker
The example is based on MySQL, if you are connected to BigQuery - hosting a temporary table is also a fine option.
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'm trying to create a table with editable cells in a google form that lets people enter their response. It would have multiple fixed columns and dynamically adding rows for more response.

I am naive about building google forms and running scripts/codes on forms. A detailed explanation of steps will be of good help.
Thanking in advance to wonderful people who do such fabulous work
At the moment it is not possible to insert tables in Google Forms, not even via Apps Script, but since you are interested in learning about Forms and Scripts I would recommend you start with this quickstart about managing Form responses.
If you explain perhaps with more detail what your goal by inserting the table is, maybe there is a way with the available options in forms to achieve it.
I uploaded a table from Spreadsheet to BigQuery using the built-in UI.
It turns out that only people with access to the Gsheet can run queries using the new table.
Is there a way to define a general option to allow everyone to run queries on this new table?
Otherwise I need to run a Select * from and save a new table each time or think of sharing the spreadsheet with everyone in the company.
You could share dataset with specific people.
Also what's the difference between "share the table with everyone" VS. "share the spreadsheet with everyone with readonly permission"?
In a domain context you can have a document readable by everyone in your domain without them getting notified or seeing it popup in their Google Drive. I believe you just need to click on Get shareable link in the share dialog to do that.
I agree to Xuejian that there's little difference in sharing a dataset or a sharing a spreadsheet.
