Google Integrations

Our latest release is packed with two exciting integrations: Google Sheets and BigQuery! These integrations mark an important step toward one of our biggest priorities right now: enabling you to bring your data directly into Decipad to build live dashboards and models based on real-time data.

Google Sheets Imports​

One of our most requested features is finally here—our Google Sheets Integration allows you to easily import data from both public and private Google Sheets, so your Decipad models are always up to date.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Data importing: Instantly pull in data from Google Sheets into your Decipad notebook and start turning your models into visual data stories.
  • Auto-refresh: Keep your data fresh with just one click. Sync the latest updates from your Google Sheets into Decipad so your models always reflect real-time numbers.
  • Secure collaboration: With private spreadsheet imports, you can work and collaborate securely on sensitive data.

Google BigQuery Imports​

Our new BigQuery Integration unlocks the ability to query your BigQuery databases and bring your business data straight into your notebook.

  • Import with SQL: Use SQL queries to pull data from BigQuery directly into Decipad. This allows you to work with large-scale datasets and retrieve the real-time data you need for your models.
  • Data modeling: Importing from your BigQuery database will create a table with the retrieved data in your Decipad notebook. You can now play around with the numbers and start creating variables, graphs and a narrative around your model.

We're excited to introduce the Notebook Data Drawer — a new feature that gives you more control over your notebook variables and streamlines your workflow:

  • Quick Variable Editing: Easily edit variables directly from the sidebar. Just click on a variable to open the data drawer, where you can update its name, adjust its formula, or delete it.

  • Inline Result Edits: Modify inline results instantly by clicking on them. The data drawer will open automatically, allowing you to edit variables without leaving your current view.

  • Create and Manage Sidebar Variables: Now, you can create variables stored exclusively in the sidebar, keeping your main notebook clean and organized.
