Importer des données filtrées d'Excel vers Google Sheets

Undoubtedly, both Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets make our lives easier when it comes to managing data. Although both powerful, Excel and Google Sheets do offer different features, which is often why you might want to import specific data from one of these tools to another.

There are many circumstances in which you’d need to import filtered data from Excel to Google Sheets. For example, let’s say I have an Excel spreadsheet containing all of the current work tasks across departments. I want to import all of the Marketing department’s tasks into Google Sheets, as this is their preferred spreadsheet tool. What’s more Google Sheets offers collaborative features that allow the Marketing team to input their task progress simultaneously.

Unfortunately, neither Excel nor Google Sheets offer a native feature in order to import data from one tool to another. However, using the Sheetgo web app, not only can you can effectively filter my Excel data to import into Google Sheets, but you can do this automatically. As a result, you can make the most of interchanging between these two spreadsheet tools, whilst saving a lot of time in the process.

Let’s explore more of the benefits of using Sheetgo for this process, and how to do it in just a few simple steps.

Why import data from Excel to Google Sheets?

As mentioned previously, both Excel and Google Sheets offer different features. It’s common that you may want to switch between them both in order to make the most efficient use of these features. For example, you may want to import from Excel to Google Sheets in order to make the most of Google’s collaborative features, which allow multiple users to edit the same spreadsheet at the same time.

Not only does Sheetgo make this importing process easy and completely automated, but it also offers additional benefits which are particularly useful, including:

• Import from one storage solution to another: With Sheetgo, you can easily import data from a file in one storage solution to another, including SharePoint, OneDrive, and Google Drive, making data handling a lot easier.

• Powerful data processing features: Sheetgo offers a Filter feature, which allows you to filter your data based on either condition, SQL language, or cell color.
• Éviter les erreurs humaines : As the entire process is automated from start to finish, you can completely avoid any error from manual input, so your data remains accurate and up-to-date.
• Programmer des mises à jour automatiques : You can create a custom schedule of updates for your workflow so that your files remain updated with the latest changes without you having to open your files.

Using the use case above, let’s say I have an Excel file containing all of the current work tasks across all departments.

The best thing about Sheetgo is that you can take the Excel data from your preferred storage solution (Sharepoint, OneDrive, etc.) and send it to the Google Sheets within your Google Drive immediately. Any changes you make in the Google Drive version will automatically be updated in the version in the original storage solution, and vice versa. For example, if the Marketing team applies their task progress in the Google Drive version, I can view these straight from my Sharepoint version.
