Turn Databricks into a Live Reporting System for Google Sheets

Define reporting logic once on top of your Databricks lakehouse and deliver business-ready, scheduled data marts to Google Sheets — with governance, reuse, and orchestration built in.

Step 1: Connect Your Databricks Data Storage

Start by using Databricks as the foundation for business reporting.

  • All reporting data lives in your Databricks lakehouse
  • No direct source-to-spreadsheet connectors that fragment logic
  • Business logic stays centralized, queryable, and reusable

When reporting is built on top of Databricks, insights stay connected to real business logic — not scattered across spreadsheets.

Create reporting-ready data marts directly on top of Databricks.

  • Define data marts using SQL queries
  • Reuse existing tables or views stored in the lakehouse
  • Blend batch and streaming datasets in one reporting layer

This is where analysts define joins, metrics, filters, and calculations once — instead of rebuilding logic in every report.

Step 3: Prepare Data for Google Sheets

Make your Databricks data marts easy for business users to work with.

  • Rename fields using business-friendly aliases
  • Add clear descriptions to explain metrics and dimensions
  • Control which fields are exposed to stakeholders

You don’t need to rewrite SQL to make data understandable — schema, naming, and descriptions are managed at the data mart level.
