Google Sheets Data Aggregation
Table of Contents
Business Problem
The client faced efficiency challenges stemming from significant waste related to employees manually updating Google Sheets that fed business critical decision making information. Operating with over 150 concurrent projects, each requiring its own spreadsheet, leadership lacked an automated method to consolidate data across this distributed portfolio.
Mission
Create a tool to dynamically identify key data elements across 150+ Google Sheets. The solution needed sufficient sophistication to extract 100+ data points per sheet despite varying formats, while also facilitating future Salesforce migration.
Solution
The team developed a containerized Google Sheets application that:
- Systematically reviewed indexed sheets
- Extracted critical information from each sheet
- Established a robust data model with integrity checks
- Identified missing data automatically
- Enabled custom reporting for executives
This structured approach empowered executives with consolidated insights despite their geographically distributed data sources.
