How to Use the Supermetrics Add-on for Google Sheets?

Follow the instructions below to start using Supermetrics for Google Sheets.

Connect to a Data Source

The first thing you need to do is connect to a source of data so you can start creating queries and building reports.

1. 1. In Sheets, go to Extensions > Supermetrics > Launch.

1. 2. You will see the sidebar on the right. Click on the button circled in red to access the menu (see screenshot below).

1. 3. The menu offers various options, including “Manage data source connections”.

1. 4. There are 80+ data sources available, so it’s a good idea to use the search box provided.

1. 5. For this example, I will connect to “Twitter Public Data”.

1. 6. Now, I just need to log in to connect to my Twitter account. Follow the instructions to connect to your chosen data source.

Create a Query

Now that you’ve connected to your data, it’s time to create a query to import some of those metrics to Google Sheets.

1. 1. In the sidebar, click on “Create new query”.

1. 2. Since I’ve only connected to one data source so far, it has been selected by default, but you can easily switch to a different one. Click on “Report configuration”.

1. 3. For this example, I will build a simple query - “Twitter tweets by keyword” - using only one keyword: “supermetrics”. I will also limit the results to 50 tweets that have been posted recently.

1. 4. Next, click on “Select metrics” and choose from the drop-down. For this example, I will select “Likes” and “Retweets”.

1. 5. Click “Split by dimensions” to choose how to structure the data in Sheets. In this case, I will select “Split to rows”, as I want the values for each metric to be in the same column.

1. 6. For this example, I will select “Date & time”, “Twitter name”, and “Tweet”.

1. 7. You can also add filters and configure more advanced options, but I’ll keep it simple for this example. Click on “Get Data to Table” to start the import. You will see a progress summary of the query’s status.

1. 8. Once the query has been executed, you will see the data in your Sheets tab, as well as a summary of the query.

1. 9. Click on the three dots in the query summary to edit, duplicate, or delete the query.

Use Templates

To add a template, click on the main menu button on the Supermetrics sidebar, then on “Open template gallery”.

Hover over the template you want to use and click on “Add template”. You can use your own custom templates by providing the URL where the spreadsheet is stored.

Schedule Refresh

In the sidebar, click on the “Schedule” tab at the top, then click on “Add trigger”. You can also click on “Manage triggers in all your files” to view all the triggers you have configured.

You can configure multiple aspects of the refresh, including specific days and/or times.

If you click on the “Action” dropdown, you can select the frequency with which data is refreshed and emails are sent.
