Intro

Google Sheets is a spreadsheet program, part of a free, web-based software office suite offered by Google within its Google Drive service. The program allows users to create and edit spreadsheets online while collaborating with other users in real-time. With Domo’s Google Sheet Enterprise Writeback connector, you can transfer your data from a Domo dataset to your Google Sheet that you already have shared with your Service Account. To learn more about the Google API, visit https://developer.google.com. You export data to Google Sheets in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Google Sheet Enterprise Writeback connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Note: The owner of a writeback dataset must also be an owner or co-owner of the input dataset.

​
