Is there a way to export reports into Google Sheets? I’m only seeing reports available as a CSV file for Excel. I’d imagine more and more customers are moving to Google Sheets over Excel. This functionality would be very helpful!

You can import the CSV files into Google Sheets just the same as you would with Excel. We would normally recommend Sheets over Excel because Excel tends to create encoding issues. For this reason, the sheets aren’t designed for any specific software.

Hi!
You can achieve that with Mipler: Advanced Reports.
The great news is that we have a feature that allows us to effortlessly create reports with customers created within the last 24, 48, X hours, months, or even years.
And here’s the best part: we can automatically export these reports to Google Sheets, ensuring that your customer list always stays updated well.
One way to do it is to first export the report as a CSV and then upload it to Google Sheets. You can open a new Google Sheet, go to “File,” select “Import,” and then upload your CSV file. It’s a few extra steps, but it works!
When I was trying to move some data into Google Sheets, I found myself needing to separate date and time in Excel for better organization. I came across some helpful tips on MyExcelOnline that made the process a lot smoother. With so many people switching to Google Sheets, it would definitely be great if more platforms supported direct exports.
There are a couple of ways to go about exporting your data to Sheets. This blog has some instructions on how do it automatically or manually.

The manual method requires downloading a CSV and uploading it to Sheets.
