Google Sheets is a fantastic tool to manipulate and manage different types of data in one place. However, the process of moving all of this data can be a daunting task.
Manually transporting large datasets from one Google Sheets file to another can be an extremely time-consuming process, often leaving you with inaccurate data thanks to human error. So, is there any way to automatically transfer data between Google Sheets? And is there any way to do this whilst preserving the original formatting of the source? The answer is yes.
There are many instances where you may need to automatically transfer data between different sheets whilst preserving its formatting. Let’s say I am a marketing manager transferring various datasets from multiple sources to a Google Sheets file.
This file will contain all the data I need to create a comprehensive end-of-year report. I need to preserve the formatting for my insights using dates, percentages, etc. to maintain accurate results. But I also need to preserve the cell formatting, which highlights some of the most important data that will be integral to my report. I need to find a way to automatically transfer data that will save me time, without sacrificing the formatting from the original data.
Let’s explore the different ways you can transfer both data and formats automatically between Sheets, and how to use them in your own operations.
