Organizations depend on spreadsheets to gather, prepare, and analyze data. Critical business decisions rely on the accuracy and validity of spreadsheets. Alation Connected Sheets helps to address these questions:

• Where does the data in this spreadsheet come from?

• Is the data in this spreadsheet trustworthy and up to date?

• How do I get new data into the spreadsheet quickly?

Alation connected sheets requires subscription to Alation.

Users can easily access and refresh data from sources in Alation Data Catalog to Microsoft Excel™ with a few clicks.

Benefits of Alation Connected Sheets:

• Connected. Pull in data with clicks, not SQL. Enable business users to self-service data without having to learn a new technical tool or rely on technical resources to get relevant, formatted data.

• Governed. Pull in trusted, governed data from databases directly into Google Sheets™, avoiding multiple copies of spreadsheets formed by copy/pasting data or exporting csv files.

• Secure. Reuse existing data source security settings, allowing only authorized users to pull in data they have access to.

• Reusable. Automated refresh of data ensures users have accurate, up-to-date data and calculations in the spreadsheet without having to manually update it.

• Discoverable. Search and discover existing spreadsheets cataloged in Alation. Understand the context of spreadsheets with descriptions, owners, stewards, and classification tags.
