We will automate a Sales Commission Calculation<\/strong> workflow.<\/p>\n\n- Source<\/strong>: A master Closed Deals ledger kept in Excel (OneDrive\/SharePoint) by the Finance team. They refuse to migrate this because it links to other Excel-based accounting ledgers.\u00a0<\/li>\n
- Destination<\/strong>: A Google Sheet dashboard used by Sales Directors to view real-time commission payouts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Step 1: Create Workflow and Select File Type<\/h3>\n
In your Sheetgo home page, click on +New<\/strong> and click on Create a Workflow<\/strong>. <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1.jpg” title_text=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]Next, click Add to Workflow<\/strong>, and then select Automation<\/strong>.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2.jpg” title_text=”2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]You will immediately see the available interoperability options. Unlike standard importers, Sheetgo treats cloud storage (SharePoint, OneDrive, Drive) as database sources. Go ahead and click on Excel<\/strong>.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-scaled.png” title_text=”3″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]Step 2: Connect to OneDrive<\/h3>\n
Once the file type (Excel) is selected, Sheetgo will prompt you to enter the file location. This is the point at which the hybrid capability is utilized. Click on Select File<\/strong>.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4-scaled.png” title_text=”4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]Select SharePoint<\/strong> or OneDrive for Business<\/strong>. If this is your first time, you will do a one-time OAuth authentication. You do not need IT to generate API keys; simply log in with your Microsoft 365 credentials.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5.png” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”5″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]Step 3: Select the File (Workbook) and Tab (Worksheet)<\/h3>\n
Navigate your folders in the Sheetgo interface and select the desired Excel file as your data source.\u00a0You select the specific Tab (Worksheet) you want to pull data from. Select the exact file and tab you need to extract data from.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/6.png” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”6″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]
Step 4: Data Processing (Optional)<\/h3>\n
After selecting your data, you will see the Select a data processor screen. This is Sheetgo’s transformation engine. In advanced workflows, you would use this screen to:<\/p>\n
\n- Filter rows: (e.g., Only pull rows where Region = “NA”).<\/li>\n
- Remove duplicates: Clean up messy data before it hits the destination.<\/li>\n
- Process with AI: Use LLMs to categorize or tag data automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Action<\/strong>: Since we want to establish a direct feed of raw data to our dashboard, we don’t need to filter anything yet. Click the Skip data processor button at the bottom right to proceed.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/7.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”7″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]Step 5: Transfer to Google Sheets (The Destination)<\/h3>\n
Now that Sheetgo is holding the Excel data, we tell it where to send it.<\/p>\n
\n- Click Next to choose your destination.<\/li>\n
- Select Google Sheets as the file type.<\/li>\n
- Choose Google Drive as the location.<\/li>\n
- Select Create new spreadsheet and name it Sales_Commissions_Live.<\/li>\n
- Once done, click on Review Automation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/8.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”8″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]
Review Automation<\/h3>\n
You will see a summary of your connection (Source: Excel, Destination: Google Sheets). Click Finish and run<\/strong> to execute the transfer immediately.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/9.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”9″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]Workflow trigger settings<\/h3>\n
The Air Gap is only closed if the data flows without human intervention. Toggle the Enable automatic updates switch. For a commission report, setting this to run on an Hourly Basis is usually sufficient. Sheetgo will now check the OneDrive file for changes on that schedule and automatically update the Google Sheet.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/10.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”10″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]
In just a few moments, your live Excel data is ready for analysis. To view your results, you have two easy options:<\/p>\n
\n- From the Sheetgo<\/strong>: Your destination file in the workflow view is now a clickable link. Simply click on the file icon to open your new Sales_Commissions_Live spreadsheet directly.<\/li>\n
- In your Google Drive<\/strong>: Locate the Sales_Commissions_Live spreadsheet in your Google Drive.

Workflow Variation 2: Filtered Regional At-Risk View<\/h2>\n
In the example above, we mirrored the full data. But what if you only need specific rows?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finance maintains the full master ledger in Excel on SharePoint, containing all 20 global deals. However, Regional VPs often only care about their specific area\u2014e.g., pending North America deals\u2014to spot audit flags without wading through EMEA\/APAC noise.<\/p>\n
This variation shows how to pull the same source but apply filters so the destination Google Sheet gets a clean, summarized view automatically.<\/p>\n
\n- Source<\/strong>: Same as before (Master_Ledger.xlsx in OneDrive).<\/li>\n
- Step 4 (Data Processing)<\/strong>: Instead of skipping, select Filter Rows.<\/li>\n
- Add Logic<\/strong>:<\/li>\n
\n- Condition 1<\/strong>: Column Region is exactly NA<\/li>\n
- Condition 2<\/strong> (AND): Column Status does not contain Paid<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/12.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”12″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]
This combination keeps only NA deals that are still in flux (e.g., Pending, Audit, Held), reducing the output from 20 rows to ~4\u20135 high-attention records.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Destination<\/strong>: Push to a new or existing Google Sheet, e.g., \u201cNA_At_Risk_Summary_Live\u201d, tab \u201cExec Overview\u201d. Use Replace mode for clean refreshes.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/13.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”13″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]Review Automation & Run<\/strong> (same as above): Review the summary, click Finish, and Run. The filtered data lands in your Google Sheet or can be fetched automatically on schedule.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/14.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”14″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]After a successful run, your destination Google Sheet tab will show only the filtered rows that match both conditions. Here’s what the output looks like based on the sample ledger data (filtered to Region = NA and Status does not contain “Paid”):<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/15.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”15″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]
This slimmed-down table (just 2 rows in the sample) gives executives an instant view of high-attention NA commissions that are still pending or under audit\u2014fresh every hour, with no manual filtering required. Finance continues editing the master Excel file; any new matching deals will appear automatically in the next update.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

You use a filtered connection. When setting up a Sheetgo workflow, you can select specific columns or apply logic (e.g., Filter rows where Status = ‘Public’) to extract only the safe data. The destination user (e.g., a Sales Manager) receives the data in their Google Sheet but never gets access permissions to the source Excel file in SharePoint.<\/p>[\/difl_faqitem][difl_faqitem question=”Can Finance teams keep using Excel while the rest of the company moves to Google Workspace?” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” que_wrapper_bg_bgcolor__hover=”1px||||false|false” que_wrapper_bg_bgcolor__hover_enabled=”on|hover” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
Yes\u2014Sheetgo is designed exactly for this. Finance maintains its complex Excel models in OneDrive\/SharePoint (with all macros and links intact), while ops, sales, and leadership get automatic, scheduled pulls into Google Sheets. No model rewriting required, and ownership\/permissions remain with the source team.<\/p>[\/difl_faqitem][difl_faqitem question=”Does Sheetgo require IT or developers to set up connections?” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” que_wrapper_bg_bgcolor__hover=”1px||||false|false” que_wrapper_bg_bgcolor__hover_enabled=”on|hover” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
No. It uses simple OAuth logins (one-time for Microsoft and Google accounts) and a no-code interface. Business users or admins can build workflows in 10\u201315 minutes without API keys, custom scripts, or developer help.<\/p>[\/difl_faqitem][difl_faqitem question=”How frequently does data sync between Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive?” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” que_wrapper_bg_bgcolor__hover=”1px||||false|false” que_wrapper_bg_bgcolor__hover_enabled=”on|hover” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
It depends on your configuration. You can schedule Sheetgo to run updates hourly, daily, weekly, or on a specific cron schedule. This ensures that the “Month-End Close” numbers in your Google Sheets dashboards are always identical to the master ledger in Excel.<\/span><\/p>[\/difl_faqitem][difl_faqitem question=”Does Sheetgo support bidirectional flow (write back from Google Sheets to Excel)?” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” que_wrapper_bg_bgcolor__hover=”1px||||false|false” que_wrapper_bg_bgcolor__hover_enabled=”on|hover” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]Currently, the primary direction is Excel \u2192 Google Sheets (read from Microsoft to Google). Write-back to Excel is not natively supported in the same seamless way, but you can achieve similar results with append-only workflows or chained connections. For most migrations, one-way flow to Google is sufficient.<\/span><\/p>[\/difl_faqitem][\/difl_faq][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]How Does This Approach Accelerate Your Migration to Google Workspace?<\/h2>\n
The commission workflows above are just one pattern. Sheetgo creates a governed, automated interoperability layer that supports phased migration: Finance keeps Excel during transition, while teams in Google Workspace get live data without silos or handoffs.<\/p>\n
By placing Sheetgo at the center, you transform fragmented coexistence into a unified flow\u2014Excel power for finance, Sheets collaboration for ops\/sales\/leadership. Data moves reliably, trust builds, manual errors vanish, and migration risk drops. Hybrid becomes the safe bridge to full Google Workspace adoption, not a permanent state.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]
