Introducing CData Connect Spreadsheets: Your Data, Now Available Live in Excel and Google Sheets

CData Connect Spreadsheets

We’ve all heard it before: "Can I just see this in a spreadsheet?" Spreadsheets have proven themselves as the go-to analytics tool for most businesses. Today, CData is excited to introduce Connect Spreadsheets—the newest way to power up your spreadsheet experience and bring all your data directly to Excel and Google Sheets.

What is Connect Spreadsheets?

Connect Spreadsheets is a free, easy-to-use add-in that allows you to access and work with data from over 250 sources right inside your spreadsheets. Imagine seamlessly pulling in live data from applications you use every day— QuickBooks, Sage Intaact, SQL databases, Google Analytics, APIs, and more—without exporting and downloading or copying and pasting. With Connect Spreadsheets, you can skip the manual work and enjoy a streamlined process that gets the exact data you need into the tools you already know and trust.

Why Connect Spreadsheets?

  • Free forever: Connect Spreadsheets is free to use, with no credit card required, making it accessible for everyone.
  • Easy setup: Connect to your data sources in just minutes with little to no code. With more than 250 connectors, CData has the largest library of connections on the market.
  • Tailored data selection: Use our built-in query builder and filters to pick exactly the data you need as requirements change.
  • Real-time refreshes: Keep your data current by refreshing it on a schedule or with the click of a button, so your spreadsheet is always up to date.
  • Two-way source sync: Make changes in your spreadsheet, then update those changes back to source systems for bulk updates.

Built for spreadsheet lovers

For anyone who finds themselves diving into spreadsheets for analytics, reporting, or even light forecasting, CData Connect Spreadsheets gives you the power to work smarter with your data. This new offering is designed for users who love the flexibility and familiarity of spreadsheets but want to automate the tedious tasks that come with actually getting data into the spreadsheet.

Take it from one of our early adopters, Nathan Thompson, VP of Finance at Scorpion: “Connect Spreadsheets allows us to bridge the gap between financial data in Sage Intaact, planning in monday.com, and report building in Excel. Now, we simply hit ‘Refresh’ to update our numbers and get back to work.”

Available now for Google Sheets and Excel

Connect Spreadsheets is now available on the Google Workspace Marketplace and Microsoft AppSource. From quick setup to seamless usage, we’re making sure everyone—from small teams to enterprise users—can jump in and get started with ease.
