Written by Lucas Bauche

Use the awork add-on for Google Sheets to pull raw data from awork into your spreadsheet in just a few clicks.

You control the import from a dedicated awork sidebar inside Google Sheets.


Key benefits and use cases

Bring awork data into Google Sheets when you want to analyze, report, or build your own views.

  • Import raw awork data into your open spreadsheet

  • Choose what you import by selecting the data types you need

  • Refresh anytime by re-importing from the sidebar


What awork data can be imported into Google Sheets

You can import the following raw data:

  • Tasks

  • Users

  • Times

  • Projects


How to set up the Google Sheets Integration

Install the awork add-on

  1. Click Install in the Marketplace

Or install it directly from Google Sheets:

  1. In your spreadsheet, go to Extensions > Add-ons > Add add-on

  2. Search the Marketplace for awork

  3. Click Install

The add-on is now set up for the Google account you are currently logged in with.


How to load awork data into Google Sheets

Open the awork sidebar

In Google Sheets, go to Extensions > awork > Open sidebar.

Note: It may take a few seconds for the add-on to appear in the Extensions menu and for the sidebar to load.

Log in to the awork add-on

In the sidebar, log in once using your awork account.

Important: After a successful login, reload the Google Sheets page once. If the sidebar disappears, open it again via Extensions > awork > Open sidebar.

  2. Click Load data

The data is retrieved automatically and displayed in separate spreadsheets.


Best practices for using imported data

Do not edit the automatically created spreadsheets. When you update, any changes in those spreadsheets will be overwritten.

To work with the data safely: Use references and Lookups to evaluate and display the raw data in your own spreadsheets.


How to update data

When you want fresh data, just import again.

  1. Open the sidebar via Extensions > awork > Open sidebar

  2. Click Load data

The raw data in the automatically created spreadsheets is overwritten and updated.

If your evaluation references this raw data, the new data will be imported automatically.
