Hi everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well! I’m currently working with Looker Studio and have connected an Excel file for my reports and charts. However, I’ve noticed that the data isn’t updating as expected.
Could anyone help me understand why the update data from my Excel file isn’t reflecting in the reports and graphs? Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much for your help!
Hi @Vicente_24 , thank you for your post, and for trying out the Excel Connector preview!
It looks like this could be a limitation of the current iteration of the feature - I don’t see any mention about whether report data is refreshed once it is connected to an Excel sheet in the documentation (https://support.google.com/looker-studio/answer/14953315).
I wonder if you could try refreshing the data manually, as explained on the Manage data freshness documentation page , or if you’ve added or changed the columns or fields in the spreadsheet, to Refresh the data source fields for the data source, as outlined in the Refresh data source fields documentation page.
I might recommend filing a feedback form for the Excel Connector feature preview, and letting the team know that this is something you’d like to see in future iterations. You can access the form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSddb9ua5jtoSxPReWg_yN14VToqLjZD9itJWFJh20H-ekUWFg/viewform
I hope that is helpful!
