Using Connected SheetsWith Connected Sheets, you can access, analyze, visualize, and share billions of rows of BigQuery data from your Sheets spreadsheet. Show You can also do the following:
Connected Sheets runs BigQuery queries on your behalf either upon your request or on a defined schedule. Results of those queries are saved in your spreadsheet for analysis and sharing. Example use casesThe following are just a few use cases that show how Connected Sheets lets you analyze large amounts of data within a sheet, without needing to know SQL.
Access controlDirect access to BigQuery datasets and tables is still controlled within BigQuery. If you want to give a user Sheets access only, share a spreadsheet and do not grant BigQuery access. A user with Sheets-only access can perform analysis in the sheet and use other Sheets features, but the user will not be able to perform the following actions:
Before you beginFirst, make sure that you meet the requirements for accessing BigQuery data in Sheets, as described in the "What you need" section of the Google Workspace topic Get started with BigQuery data in Google Sheets. An enterprise workspace account is required to use Connected Sheets with BigQuery. If you do not yet have a Google Cloud project that is set up for billing, follow these steps:
When you finish this topic, you can avoid continued billing by deleting the resources you created. See Cleaning up for more detail. Use Connected Sheets with BigQueryThe following example uses a public dataset to show you how to connect to BigQuery from Sheets.
Start using the spreadsheet. You can create pivot tables, formulas, and charts using familiar Sheets techniques. Although the spreadsheet shows a preview of only 500 rows, any pivot tables, formulas, and charts use the entire set of data. You can also extract the data to a sheet. For more information, see the Connected Sheets tutorial. Cleaning upTo avoid incurring charges to your Google Cloud account for the resources used in this tutorial:
If you plan to explore multiple tutorials and quickstarts, reusing projects can help you avoid exceeding project quota limits. What's next
