# Import Google Sheets

## Import Google Sheets

Import a Google Sheet directly — no CSV export step needed.

### How to import

1. Use the import option on your dashboard or in the file menu and choose **Google Sheets**.
2. Sign in with Google and pick the spreadsheet using the Google file picker.
3. The sheet imports with values, formatting, and frozen panes preserved.

You can also ask the AI to import a Google Sheet from chat.

### Permissions

Quadratic uses Google's per-file authorization scope: it can only read the files you explicitly choose in the picker, never your whole Drive.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.quadratichq.com/import-data/import-google-sheets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
