Google Sheets Connector Examples
The ZappySys API Driver is a user-friendly interface designed to facilitate the seamless integration of various applications with the Google Sheets API. With its intuitive design and robust functionality, the ZappySys API Driver simplifies the process of configuring specific API endpoints to efficiently read or write data from Google Sheets.
On this page you will find some SQL examples which can be used for API ODBC Driver or Data Gateway API Connector.
Query from default Spreadsheet [ Read more... ]
Gets data from Tab name Sheet1 from SpreadSheet Id defined in the connection
SELECT * FROM [Sheet1]Query from User defined Spreadsheet [ Read more... ]
Gets data from Tab name 'Class Data' from user defined SpreadSheet Id
SELECT * FROM [Class Data] WITH(SpreadSheetId='1BxiMVs0XRA5nFMdKvBdBZjgmUUqptlbs74OgvE2upms')Query from custom cell range [ Read more... ]
In this example we query Tab name 'Class Data' and we are reading Range 'A4:GR'.
SELECT * FROM [Class Data]
WITH(
Range='A4:GR' --cell range you like to query
, ArrayTransEnableCustomColumns='False' --do not treat first row in range as Column Names
, SpreadSheetId='1BxiMVs0XRA5nFMdKvBdBZjgmUUqptlbs74OgvE2upms' --enter sheet id you like to query. Comment this if you like to use default ID defined in the connection
)Query from custom cell range [ Read more... ]
In this example we query Tab name 'Class Data' and we are reading Range 'A4:GR'.
UPDATE [Sheet1]
SET Col1='data-1', Col2=100, Col3='2020-01-31' --column names are ignored. Values are sent in the same order you supply and writtern to start cell specified by WriteRange
WITH(
, WriteRange='G9' --start writing from here
, SpreadSheetId='1az2H8ZYk7BvjddVTqPR-LfDjX9IRpIpjCDpFPe9EzkU' --comment this to use default Sheet Id from connection setting
)Update Multiple Rows in Sheet from CSV file [ Read more... ]
In this example we query CSV file as Source (Using ZapyySys CSV ODBC Driver) and updating Google Sheet in BULK.
UPDATE [Sheet1]
SOURCE(
'ODBC', --driver type ODBC | MSSQL | OLEDB
'Driver={ZappySys CSV Driver};', --connection string for driver
'SELECT * FROM $ WITH (SRC=''c:\data.csv'') ' --sql query for source data
)
WITH(
WriteRange='G9', SpreadSheetId='1az2H8ZYk7BvjddVTqPR-LfDjX9IRpIpjCDpFPe9EzkU' --comment this to use default Sheet Id from connection setting
)Update Values Vertically (Column Mode) [ Read more... ]
In this example we will write value as columns rather than row.
UPDATE [Sheet1]
SET Col1='Jan',Col2='Feb',Col3='Mar'
WITH(
WriteRange='G9',
SpreadSheetId='1az2H8ZYk7BvjddVTqPR-LfDjX9IRpIpjCDpFPe9EzkU', --comment this to use default Sheet Id from connection setting
MajorDimension='COLUMNS' --write values vertical rather horizontal
)Insert Data in Sheet1 [ Read more... ]
Insert row to tab name Sheet1 in SheetId defined in connection
INSERT INTO "Sheet1"("MyStringCol", "MyIntegerCol", "MyDateCol", "MyDecimalCol") VALUES('AAA',100,'2020-01-01',150.33)Insert Multiple Rows in Sheet1 from CSV file [ Read more... ]
In this example we query CSV file as Source (Using ZapyySys CSV ODBC Driver) and updating Google Sheet in BULK.
INSERT INTO [Sheet1]
SOURCE(
'ODBC', --driver type ODBC | MSSQL | OLEDB
'Driver={ZappySys CSV Driver};', --connection string for driver
'SELECT * FROM $ WITH (SRC=''c:\temp\dump.txt'') ' --sql query for source data
)
WITH(
Range='G9', SpreadSheetId='1az2H8ZYk7BvjddVTqPR-LfDjX9IRpIpjCDpFPe9EzkU' --comment this to use default Sheet Id from connection setting
)Write Values Vertically (Column Mode) [ Read more... ]
In this example we will write value as columns rather than row.
INSERT INTO [Sheet1](Col1,Col2,Col3)
VALUES('Jan','Feb','Mar')
WITH(
Range='G9', --starting cell to write data
SpreadSheetId='1az2H8ZYk7BvjddVTqPR-LfDjX9IRpIpjCDpFPe9EzkU', --comment this to use default Sheet Id from connection setting
MajorDimension='COLUMNS' --write values vertical rather horizontal
)Execute Action (i.e. Delete Rows / Columns) [ Read more... ]
This example shows how to execute various commands for sheet (i.e. copy, paste, formatting, delete, merge etc). In this example we are executing delete comamnds (i.e. deleteDimension commands). Notice we called same command twice becuase we want to delete two ranges (index 10-20 and 50-60). You can execute any valid command available by Google Sheets API. Here are some good examples of formatting commands https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/samples/formatting
SELECT * FROM batch_update_request
WITH(
Body='{
"requests": [
{
"deleteDimension": {
"range": {
"sheetId": 0,
"dimension": "ROWS",
"startIndex": 10,
"endIndex": 20
}
}
} ,
{
"deleteDimension": {
"range": {
"sheetId": 0,
"dimension": "ROWS",
"startIndex": 50,
"endIndex": 60
}
}
}
]
}'
, TabId='0' -- tab internal id (use UI to get this). 0 means first tab. Or check URL in browser and see at the end of URL #gid=xxxxxxx where xxxxxx is your tab id
, SpreadSheetId='1az2H8ZYk7BvjddVTqPR-LfDjX9IRpIpjCDpFPe9EzkU' --comment this to use default Sheet Id from connection setting
