Sync data from Databricks to Google Sheets
Activate your Databricks data by syncing it directly into Google Sheets. With Weld's reverse ETL, you can push modelled data such as audience segments, lead scores and account metrics from your cloud data warehouse into Google Sheets, making it actionable for your team without manual exports or CSV uploads.

How to set up Databricks to Google Sheets in Weld.
Guided setup in 5 steps.
- Step 01
Connect your cloud data warehouse
Add Databricks as a data source in Weld with connection credentials that grant read access. Credentials are stored encrypted and never logged.
- Step 02
Define your transformation
Write a SQL query or dbt model that selects and transforms the data you want to push to Google Sheets. This is where you build audience segments, compute lead scores, aggregate metrics, or reshape data into the structure Google Sheets expects. You can preview results before activating.
- Step 03
Connect Google Sheets
Authenticate Google Sheets as a reverse ETL destination. Weld supports OAuth or API key authentication depending on the connector. Once connected, Weld automatically discovers the available objects and fields in Google Sheets.
- Step 04
Map fields and configure sync
Map your SQL columns to Google Sheets fields using Weld's visual mapper. Choose a sync mode: insert to create new records, update to modify existing ones, or upsert to do both. Then set a schedule from every 5 minutes to daily.
- Step 05
Activate and monitor
Enable the sync and monitor it from the Weld dashboard. Track record counts, sync duration, and error rates in real time. Configure Slack or email alerts so you're notified immediately if a sync fails or encounters data quality issues.
Why sync Databricks to Google Sheets?

What data can you sync?
From Databricks to Google Sheets.
Model the data in Databricks with SQL or dbt, then map it to objects in Google Sheets such as these. Which objects you can write to depends on the Google Sheets connector and your account permissions.
- Worksheets
- Rows

What to expect.
ELT vs. reverse ETL: Databricks and Google Sheets
ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) moves data from Google Sheets into Databricks for analytics. It's about centralizing data in your warehouse so analysts can query and join it with other sources.
Reverse ETL does the opposite. It takes data that's already in Databricks and pushes it into Google Sheets so operational teams can act on it. This is the approach used on this page.
Many teams use both: ELT to centralize data in the warehouse, and reverse ETL to activate that data back in business tools. Weld supports both directions between Databricks and Google Sheets.
Google Sheets to Databricks- Sync modes
- Choose between insert, update, or upsert sync modes when pushing data to Google Sheets. Upsert is recommended to avoid duplicates.
- Rate limits
- Weld respects Google Sheets's API rate limits and automatically throttles requests to avoid hitting quotas.
- Data freshness
- Sync frequency depends on your Weld plan. Most connectors support schedules from every 5 minutes up to daily intervals.
- Security
- All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Weld is SOC 2 Type II compliant and supports IP whitelisting for database connections.
