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 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'm using ImportJSON script to pull in data from an API into google spreadsheets.
every time the function is called, it replaces the new data pulled in.
but I want the google spreadsheets to keep and cache the old data and only add the new data pulled in from the API.
how should I do this? Has anyone any idea?
I am trying to find a way to link several google forms to one google sheet without separate tabs. I am creating a database so I want different employees to be responsible for different sections of the same spreadsheet.
You need to use "IMPORTRANGE". I had to do that recently. https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093340?hl=en You have to tell the receiving sheet what range of the feeder sheets to import and then give permission.The trick is, if someone adds columns to a feeder sheet, you have to make sure the data is not "overlapping" in the receiving sheet. Otherwise, you'll get an error.
