Scale up without rebuilding

Move from Sheets to BigQuery as volume grows, and keep the same charts.

Set it up.

  1. Feed a Google Sheet with the extractor’s IMPORTDATA formula, or take delivery into BigQuery.
  2. In Looker Studio, add data with the Google Sheets or BigQuery connector.
  3. Build the report and set data freshness to match the extractor schedule.

Questions.

When should I move to BigQuery?

When the sheet gets large or you need history across many runs. BigQuery keeps every run and Looker Studio queries it directly.

Do endpoint downloads count as queries?

No. The latest-run CSV, JSON and Google Sheets endpoints return data your extractor already collected, so they don’t count toward your plan. Only the Live Query API runs an extraction per request.

How fresh is the data?

As fresh as your schedule. Run the extractor hourly, daily or weekly and the endpoint always serves the latest successful run.

Who sets up managed delivery?

Your Managed Services team. They agree destination, format, schedule and schema with you, then build, run, monitor and QA the feed under an SLA.

Which destinations can Managed Services deliver into?

Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, SFTP, Snowflake, BigQuery, API, email and Slack alerts. Aperture delivers into the same destinations.
