Free Microsoft Ads to Google Sheets Connector by OWOX: Optimize Campaign Reporting Without Code

Running ads on Microsoft (Bing) is simple. But accessing and working with that data in a spreadsheet? That’s where it gets messy.

If you’ve tried to export Microsoft (Bing Ads) data to Google Sheets manually, you know the pain: outdated CSVs, clunky dashboards, and zero control over what’s pulled.

That ends today.

With this free, no-code connector from OWOX, you can import, refresh, and customize Microsoft Ads data in Google Sheets in just a few clicks. And the best part? You retain full control over your campaigns, spend metrics, and performance data inside Sheets, exactly the way you need it.

Why We Made This Free Connector

At OWOX, we believe marketers shouldn’t have to rent access to their own Microsoft Ads data or struggle with outdated dashboards and manual exports just to analyze campaign performance.

That’s why we built this connector and made it 100% free. No subscriptions, no feature caps, and no hidden limitations on how you use your data in Google Sheets.

Our mission is to help marketing teams move faster by owning their reporting workflows, without relying on clunky third-party tools. With this connector, you get the transparency, flexibility, and control you need to build your Microsoft Ads reports directly in Sheets.

Whether you're optimizing spend, tracking performance, or building client-facing dashboards, this tool gives you full access to the numbers that matter, without compromise.

Why the OWOX Microsoft Ads to Google Sheets Connector Gives You True Control

There are plenty of tools that help you send Microsoft Ads data into Google Sheets. Still, most of them come with strings attached: limited field selection, slow refresh intervals, hidden fees behind “no-code” labels, or black-box connectors that don’t show you what’s happening behind the scenes.

The OWOX connector changes that.

It’s 100% free, fully open-source, and purpose-built to serve the exact needs of digital marketers and analysts who want reliable Microsoft Ads reporting inside Google Sheets, without giving up control or transparency.

  • Built specifically for Microsoft Ads → Google Sheets workflows — not a generic connector that treats all sources the same.
  • Direct access to Microsoft Ads API — choose any metrics, dimensions, or breakdowns you need for your reporting.
  • Powered by Google Apps Script — your data flows directly into your spreadsheet with no third-party servers or data hosting.
  • Editable and auditable — see and modify the script yourself, adapt it to your business logic, and never wonder how your data is processed.
  • Zero usage limits — no row caps, no token gating, no upgrade prompts. Just clean, structured data delivered your way.

Other platforms may help you build a one-off report. However, the OWOX connector is designed for teams that want ongoing, flexible, and fully transparent Microsoft Ads reporting in Google Sheets,  on your terms, at your pace, with your logic.

Why Bring Microsoft Ads Data into Google Sheets?

If you've ever tried analyzing Microsoft Ads performance beyond the built-in reports, you already know the pain:
Limited customization and inflexible reporting formats
No straightforward way to combine Microsoft Ads data with other platforms
Paid connectors that scale up your costs with usage

That's where Google Sheets becomes a powerful alternative – and this free connector makes it even better.

✅ With Google Sheets, you can reshape your Microsoft Ads data to fit your unique reporting needs
✅ Easily blend performance data with CRM, GA4, or offline conversions
Automate dashboards, share live insights, and ditch manual exports for good

Connecting Microsoft Ads (Bing Ads) to Google Sheets puts you in control, flexible, scalable, and fully transparent.

And with the OWOX connector, it’s completely free and code-free.

How the Connector Works

We built this Microsoft Ads connector to run entirely on Google Apps Script, no external platforms, sync services, or subscription traps required. Everything happens inside your spreadsheet.

Here’s what powers the Microsoft Ads → Google Sheets integration:

  • Leverages Google Apps Script so you can inspect, modify, or extend the code however you like, full transparency.
  • Fetches raw Microsoft Ads data (accounts, campaigns, ad groups, performance metrics) directly via the Microsoft Advertising API.
  • Gives you precise control over what’s imported,  from account and customer IDs to custom field selections and time zones.
  • Automatically pastes clean, structured, deduplicated data into named tabs inside your Google Sheet.

This connector is 100% free and open-source. No upgrade tiers, no row limits, no forced logins, just your Microsoft Ads data, exactly how and where you need it.

Step-by-Step: Import Microsoft Ads Data to Google Sheets

This connector lets you bring raw Microsoft Ads data straight into your spreadsheet, without writing a single line of code.

Here’s how to get started:

  1. Copy the Microsoft Connector template in Google Sheets.
  2. Rename the copy as desired.

Step 2: Configure the Template ( ~2 min)

Before importing, you'll need to fill out a few key fields in the template. This setup tells the connector what to fetch and where to send the data.
