Steps to update data for existing metrics with Google Sheets Connection

Your data will be automatically synced every 24 hours at 12:00AM. Everything you add in your Google Sheets can be seen on Presight. You can request for more updating times per day or choose another updating time via email support@presight.io.

Required format for Updating Google Sheets Tables:

  • ID column, Date Format, Column Name and Column Format should remain the same during the connection time.

  • New Columns cannot be updated. If you have new columns or you change the column name in your table at Google Sheets, you need to upload it as a new table.

The new table will overwrite all contents of the existing table.
