Importing QuickBooks Data to Google Sheets
Can I export QuickBooks to Google Sheets?
You can import QuickBooks data into Google Sheets in one of two ways:
- Manually: Login into your QuickBooks account and export your desired report as an Excel file. Then go to Google Sheets and import the file by going to File then Import. This method will create a static report and any subsequent changes made in QuickBooks would not be reflected in Google Sheets unless you re-import the report.
- Use third parties tools: third party tools allow you to make a live connection between QuickBooks Online and Google Sheets. This allows you to import your QuickBooks reports directly in Google Sheets and have the data refresh automatically.
