Introducing the Databricks Connector for Google Sheets: Real-Time, Governed Lakehouse Data in the Sheets Users Love

Databricks has introduced a Google Sheets connector that brings live, governed lakehouse data into a familiar spreadsheet environment. The connector addresses reliance on CSV exports, snapshots, and custom pipelines, which left business teams with siloed copies, inconsistent metrics, and slower decisions. Built on Databricks SQL and Unity Catalog, it lets users query governed datasets, including Unity Catalog Metric Views, through a no-code GUI or SQL, while Unity Catalog manages permissions. Users can refresh results manually or schedule refreshes, keeping Sheets data current without exporting snapshots. The connector is Generally Available to all Databricks customers, and Nubank reports that it has enabled non-technical users to explore data in Sheets while preserving control.
