DATASLAYER + GOOGLE SHEETS
This is our most popular product and its core purpose is to grab data from Google AdWords, Google Analytics, Facebook and more than other
To set up a data grab you just need to use our sidebar app in Google Sheets, this will grab the data into a tab in your desired layout. Then, repeat and grab data from another platform, and again as needed. Once you have the various data grabs set up, you can proceed to merge and format the data as you would for a dashboard in Google Sheets The best bit is that you will not need to repeat this set up process when you need the same report refreshed a day or week or month later. You would simply refresh the data grab and Dataslayer will get the latest data to feed your formatted report.
This product is a perfect fit for reporting and creating dashboards with endless possibilities, being able to pull data up to 5 million cells (Google Sheets’ limit).
Top tip: Set up scheduled data refresh using our tool and feed tables in Google Slides from Google Sheets, to never have to build a month end slide report again!

DATASLAYER + GOOGLE DATA STUDIO

1. Get the Facebook, Tiktok etc data into a Google spreadsheet (either manually or with Dataslayer for Google Sheets, see above) and then use the native integration with Google sheets or…
2. Use Dataslayer for Data Studio!
