Input Tool - read Google Drive Docs spreadsheets

The Input Tool reads Excel however many dashboards require multiple people to update a spreadsheet. Excel is too much of a hassle to share and update. Being able to read directly from a Google Spreadsheet would allow easy multiuser access to updating spreadsheets for dashboards.

Please add Google Spreadsheets to be an option in the Input Tool.

An alternate way to read spreadsheets from a client computer to your Alteryx Server/Desktop is through tools like Box Sync from Box.com.

I too would like this feature. Any update on when it will be released?

Hi All,

 

This feature is available via the new Google Sheets Tools, downloadable on the Public Gallery (https://gallery.alteryx.com/#!app/Google-Sheets-Tools/57223ab3a248970f0c29d6cb).

 

Thanks,

Alex

Hi All, 

 

I just wanted to check in on this thread. We are using 10.5. Does this have the capability to connect to Google Sheets? 

 

Thank you in advance for your help!
