Google Sheets is a spreadsheet development, collaboration, and storage tool hosted in the cloud. It is a sophisticated and time-tested spreadsheet productivity tool that allows businesses to track, organize, and analyze data with remarkable flexibility. For speedy analysis, the digital era demands replicating your organization-wide data (sales, marketing, and customer data) from Google Sheets to a single source of truth — and, Databricks can help!

Databricks is a data-native and collaborative solution that offers scalable computation and enough storage capacity for today’s data practitioners to perform interactive data analytics tasks.

This post will take you through a three-step process for replicating Data from Google Sheets to Databricks. A centralized repository for all your company’s data makes data easily accessible throughout the organization.

Note: You can also schedule your pipeline to run at various frequencies.

Why replicate Data from Google Sheets to Databricks?

It’s unwise to invest in expensive software from the get-go. Google Sheets is free to use and ideal for small or medium-sized project management.

But as organizations grow, efficient data reporting and analysis becomes a challenge.

Google Sheets to Databricks integration helps break data silos. Furthermore, you can automate internal procedures through this integration, gain insights, and automate time-consuming tasks to serve your customers better.

Hevo, a No-Code Data Pipeline Product, makes the data replication process a cakewalk.

Let’s take a quick look at what Google Sheets to Databricks Integration has to offer:

  • Comprehensive 360-degree Analysis: You can turn raw data into helpful information for your team after entering it into Google Sheets. And after replicating data from Google Sheets Data to Databricks, further visualization via dashboards, tables, and charts for generating comprehensive insights can be done.
  • Transaction Support: Data lakes usually struggle to accommodate several users and groups consuming and publishing data simultaneously. Support for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID) transactions is required when reading and writing this data concurrently to ensure that there are no conflicts among various participants. When using the open-source format Delta Lake, Databricks naturally provides ACID support.
  • Bid Adieu to CSV files and Python scripts: Rather than designing custom code to combine Sales and Marketing systems, concentrate on building a data stack and enhancing data quality. Hevo provides an automated data pipeline solution. Your business team will receive the data in an analytics-ready format, with minimum engineering assistance required.
  • Track & Monitor Performance: You can track & monitor performance and quickly detect any “weak links” by comparing the funnel statistics for a problem statement. This allows you to concentrate your efforts on those aspects of your organization that require improvement. Doing so can help you combat any loopholes, aiming to improve your organization’s profitability.
