Initially announced at Goole I/O in 2016, it's finally here! See the Blog Post https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2018/07/connect-salesforce-and-Google-sheets.html

Install the Plugin into Google Sheets https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/data-connector-for-salesf/jijmhhpjhgeafilgjkdeocjepoacekof

Login

It's annoying as it hijacks your last used MyDomain URL and you can't change it. Just give us an option to change whatever org I want to log into! So log into your org first!

It uses OAuth which is good. 

Side Panel

It gives a control panel at the side to do the operations you want. 

Reports

The panel doesn't change after the data is imported, so it doesn't look like it's finished, but it is. 

Make sure you return an ID column with your report!

Import

You can Import from into 5 objects at once. This is just a fancy SOQL builder. It is NOT importing data into Salesforce - use the Update function for that. 

The selection panel is nice, it shows name and API naame

You build selected fields you want, that is slow and tedious. 

You can do filtering


Then you choose the relationships

Then click get data!

When I clicked Get Data it completely removed data in my sheet. BEWARE of this button! 

Nice, but slow to set up.
