Connect Excel to Looker Studio

Kondado connects your Excel files to Looker Studio through a “Via Kondado” connection, so spreadsheets stored on OneDrive or SharePoint become visual reports without intermediate databases or complex setup. You paste the file address, choose the worksheet, and Kondado reads the first filled row as the header, turning each title into a column. Then you select Looker Studio as the destination and define how often the data should update: every 5 minutes, 15 minutes, hourly, daily, or another schedule that fits your routine. From there, you build charts and scorecards with the same fields your team already knows from the spreadsheet.

The Spreadsheet (worksheet) pipeline brings every row of your selected Excel worksheet into Looker Studio, with the original row number and a normalized column for each header title. That makes it straightforward to visualize budget sheets, sales targets, and operational registries side by side: compare planned versus actual spend by month, follow target attainment per region, or track inventory counts across stores. Because each worksheet arrives as structured fields, you can blend it with other data sources in Looker Studio and build scorecards that answer everyday business questions at a glance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers about visualizing Excel data in Looker Studio (now Data Studio) automatically

How do I connect an Excel file to Looker Studio using Kondado? ▼
Add Excel as a data source on Kondado, paste the address of the file stored on OneDrive or SharePoint, and select the worksheet you want to use. Kondado reads the first filled row as the header and creates a column for each title. Then choose Looker Studio as the destination and your fields are ready to chart.
Which Excel worksheets can I visualize in Looker Studio? ▼
Any worksheet from a file stored on OneDrive or SharePoint, as long as you paste the file address. The Spreadsheet (worksheet) pipeline turns each row into a record and each header title into a column with a normalized name. You can point separate pipelines at different worksheets, such as a budget tab and a sales target tab.
How often does Excel data update in Looker Studio? ▼
You choose the update frequency when you configure the connection: every 5 minutes, 15 minutes, hourly, daily, or another schedule that matches your routine. Kondado then replicates the worksheet on that schedule, and your Looker Studio charts show the latest version. For monthly budget reviews a daily update is usually enough, while operations teams often prefer 15-minute refreshes.
What kind of dashboards can I build with Excel data in Looker Studio? ▼
You can build custom scorecards for budget versus actual spend, target attainment by region or salesperson, inventory counts, expense tracking, and campaign results. Looker Studio lets you combine Excel fields with other data sources to create time series, comparison charts, and KPI tiles. Many teams start with one worksheet and expand as new questions come up.
Are there ready-made templates for Excel dashboards in Looker Studio? ▼
There are no pre-built report templates for this data source, so each report is designed around your own worksheets and questions. That works in your favor: you choose the charts and filters that match how your team reads the numbers. Start with the fields from your first filled row and add visuals as you go.
Can I share a Looker Studio report built from Excel data with my team? ▼
Yes, Looker Studio reports can be shared with colleagues using the standard sharing options, with view or edit permissions. You can also schedule PDF deliveries or embed charts in internal pages. Everyone works from the same numbers, so conversations about targets and budgets start from a shared view.
Which KPIs can I track by combining Excel with Looker Studio? ▼
Common examples include budget variance, target attainment percentage, cost per unit, monthly spend by category, and inventory movement from registry sheets. Because each header becomes a column, any metric you already calculate in Excel can be rebuilt as a chart. You can also blend it with other data sources to compare planned figures against actual results.
