How to connect google sheet to Power BI
- 10 years ago
2023 update - the method below is no longer required, the native connector to Google Sheets is generally available. This supports Google authentication, so the data no longer needs to be public.

**** BELOW IS NOW OUT-OF-DATE ****
The easiest way is to Get Data / From Web, then enter the URL to your google sheet, with "&output=xls" on the end, e.g.
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=r1hlZB_n1rpXTij11Kw7lTQ&output=xls
PBI then analyses the resulting Excel file, showing the tabs as tables , which you can edit and manipulate.
ImkeF, I can't find this dialog box with Basic Authentication in my Power BI. The web connector is to simples, like this:
Yes, paste the URL that you've copied from Google sheet there.
The dialogue for the authentication will appear after that step.
