I spent years using Excel but I mostly use Google Sheets now. The cloud integration just feels much more effortless compared to Microsoft’s Office products ported to cloud. I’ve seen departments using GS as a system of record for quickly setting up master data like budgets and forecasts. I wish it had database connectivity the way Excel has ODBC.

I founded https://seekwell.io/ because I had that same wish a few years backs.

Have you looked at connected sheets? https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/connected-sheets

That article describes how to use GS as a front end for BigQuery data. I’m describing the opposite, which is ingesting spreadsheet data into databases.
