When you use accounting software like QuickBooks, the primary focus is on tracking your financial data and keeping it organized so that you can find the information you need when you need it. However, what if you want to take a deeper dive into your financial data? What if you want to share that information with other people who don’t have access to your QuickBooks login? That’s when exporting QuickBooks reports to Google Sheets comes in handy.
This article will explain how to export QuickBooks reports in Google Sheets. We’ll also go over how to import QuickBooks data into Google Sheets directly.
There is not currently a Google version of QuickBooks. However, you can use Google Sheets to view and export any financial data you have in your QuickBooks account. QuickBooks and Google Sheets are both online programs that allow you to access your financial data from anywhere there’s an internet connection. So you can view your financial data in QuickBooks and export it to Google Sheets for further analysis or to share with others who don’t have access to your QuickBooks login.
Yes, you can import and export between QuickBooks and Google Sheets. You can also create charts and graphs in Google Sheets using your financial data. This can be particularly useful if you’re using a bookkeeping method that doesn’t allow you to link your bank accounts to the software. In that case, exporting your financial data to Google Sheets will allow you to create charts and graphs so that you can visualize your financial data and make data-driven decisions.
Yes. You can export any report that you create in QuickBooks to Google Sheets in much the same way that you would export QuickBooks reports to Excel. You can also create new reports in Google Sheets from scratch and then link them back to your QuickBooks account. This can be helpful if you want to create graphs or charts that don’t exist in your QuickBooks reports.
QuickBooks exports to Google Sheets are not live links, so you won’t be able to click on a number and see it change in your QuickBooks report. However, once you’ve imported your data into Google Sheets, you can use formulas to update your financial data much like you would in Microsoft Excel.
There are many different versions of QuickBooks, and each is slightly different in terms of how you export files. That said, the process is fairly similar across the board. Here is one method you can use to export a report from QuickBooks. This method is specific to QuickBooks Desktop, but the idea is the same in QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Pro. It’s just that the headings you click might be worded differently.
1. First, open the QuickBooks desktop application and log in to your account.
2. Navigate to the report you want to export. Click the “Reports” drop-down menu, and then select “Exports.”
3. Select the date range for the export, and then choose the type of export you want. For example, if you want to export your profit and loss report, select “Profit & Loss” from the list.
4. Next, choose either “CSV” or “PDF” from the “Export To” menu on the right side of the page.
5. Finally, select a file name and save location, and then click “Export.”
That’s pretty much all there is to it. QuickBooks will now export the report and you’ll be able to open the file in Google Sheets. You’ll even see a progress bar while QuickBooks exports your report.
Importing a QuickBooks report in Google Sheets is relatively easy. As long as you have a CSV file or a PDF, the process shouldn’t give you any trouble. To import your financial data from QuickBooks into Google Sheets, follow these steps: -

3. Click “File” and then select “Import.”
4. Select “CSV” and then upload your CSV file. (or PDF if you exported to PDF)
5. Click “Next” and then click “Import Data”
