Connector Dialog for Google Sheets

NOTE: The Google Sheets API only supports spreadsheets created within Google Sheets itself and does not support Excel files imported into the system.

The Google Sheets connector dialog includes the following fields and settings:

Field	Description
Connection
Authentication Method	The authentication method to be used during the course of the session. Select the method from the drop-down list: ServiceAccount. If you select this method, you must provide a Key File Path. OAuth2.0. If you select this method, you must provide a ClientId and ClientSecret.
Key File Path	The path to a file that contains your service account keys. This setting is required if you select Service Account as the Authentication Method. Enter the path to the Service Account key file (in JSON format) containing the required credentials in the field provided. You can use the Browse button to launch the Open dialog and locate this file.
Client ID	The client ID key for your application when authenticating to REST endpoints with OAuth 2.0 enabled `(AuthenticationMethod=OAuth2)`. NOTE: In some cases, the value of this option is the same as your user name or authenticating address. In others, this value is supplied with your Client Secret. If you experience and authentication error, verify that you are using the correct value.
Client Secret	The client secret for your application when authenticating to REST endpoints with OAuth 2.0 enabled. IMPORTANT: The client secret is a confidential value used to authenticate the application to the service. To prevent unauthorized access, this value must be securely maintained.
Scope	A space-delimited list of OAuth scopes that limit the permissions granted by an access token at the time of connection The default values are: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly
FileQuery	The query string to filter the files to return. To search for a specific set of files or folders, use the query string q field with the files.list method to filter the files to return by combining one or more search terms. A query string contains the following three parts: query_term operator values Where: query_term is the query term or field to search upon. operator specifies the condition for the query term. values are the specific values you want to use to filter your search results. Example: The following query string filters the search to only return folders by setting the MIME type: q: mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder' Refer to this page for more details.
Range Column Start	The start column number of the range. This is a required setting.
Range Column End	The end column number of the range. This is a required setting.
Range Row Start	The start row number of the range. If no value specified, row start will be set to 0. This is an optional setting.
Range Row End	The end row number of the range. If no value specified, row start will be set to 1000. This is an optional setting.
First Row Is Headers	A setting that, when set to True, converts the first row in the sheet to a column header. The default value is True.
Reset	A setting that, when set to True resets the session. The default value is False.
Application Name	The name of the application. The default value is Monarch Google Sheets.
Tables & Views
Tables & Views	Allows you to load, and then select, the tables from your database by manually selecting from a list. To load tables and views via search and select: Select the Tables and Views tab. Click Load Tables to load a list of predefined tables or views. These are displayed on the Tables List (at the left side of the dialog box). Select a table from the Tables List. The columns of the table are displayed in the Columns List (beside the Tables List). Select the columns to add to your data table by checking the column boxes. Note: If you wish to add a duplicate column, select this column from the Add a duplicate column drop-down list provided. To select a column: Check the boxes beside the columns you want to use. If you want to use all columns, check the Column box on the header. To aggregate columns: If the data returned are to be aggregated, check the Aggregate box on the header, then select the aggregation method you want to use for each column. The following aggregation methods are possible for each data type: To filter columns: If the data returned are to be filtered, check the Apply Filter on the header. Then, for each column, select a filter method from the filter drop down and then enter the filter value in the Filter Value box. Notes: If you are unsure about the filter value format of the Date field, hover on the Filter Value text box to display a tooltip hint: Some data sources require case-sensitive filter values. Refer to this list to check which data sources have case-sensitive filters. To load tables and views using an SQL Query, select the Query tab. When changes to the columns of the table to be loaded are made (i.e., the Range Column Start and Range Column End settings are modified), you must click Load Tables to see the (new) specified columns in the column list.
Preview Data	Click to fetch data using the credentials and criteria you have specified. This allows you to confirm your connection, ensure you have connected to the correct table, check your query, and verify the information that will be loaded. Notes: Only 10 records are displayed to allow you to verify that you are selecting the correct data. This limit prevents system slow down. The button is only enabled if the connection is active and the query is correct. Check your connection or your query if one of the buttons is disabled.
Query
Query	Allows you to load, and then select, the tables from your database by entering a SQL Statement. If you already selected Tables and Views, this box is updated to show the corresponding SELECT * FROM TABLE query. If you want to define the query, enter the SELECT, EXEC, and/or WITH statements to execute. Notes: To minimize security risks and prevent SQL Injection attacks: Only Select, Exec, and/or With statements are allowed. The following are NOT allowed: Comment characters ( -- ) Semi-colons ( ; ) In cases where you need to use a series of SQL statements with or without comments, we recommend you use stored procedures to contain these statements. The stored procedure can then be executed from the form. The Preview Data and OK buttons are only enabled if the connection is active and the query is correct. Check your connection or your query if one of the buttons is disabled.
Preview Data	Click to fetch data using the credentials and criteria you have specified. This allows you to confirm your connection, ensure you have connected to the correct table, check your query, and verify the information that will be loaded. Notes: Only 10 records are displayed to allow you to verify that you are selecting the correct data. This limit prevents system slow down. The button is only enabled if the connection is active and the query is correct. Check your connection or your query if one of the buttons is disabled.
OK/CANCEL	Select OK to establish the connection and fetch data or Cancel to close the dialog. The state of the OK and PREVIEW buttons provides a handy status about the state of your connection: The OK and PREVIEW DATA buttons are enabled as soon as the required fields have been entered and verified. This usually means a connection to the data source has been established and a table has been selected. The OK button is disabled when an update is made that can lead to an invalid result (e.g. the User Name or Password is not valid, or the the SQL statement in the Query tab is invalid). In such cases, use PREVIEW DATA to validate that data can be retrieved. If this fails verify your connection information or query until data can be retrieved.

Notes:

Optional Fields. Other fields are optional but you may need to consult your data source administrator for other field values you need to enter to connect.
Connection Strings that Exceed 1020 characters. For Connection Strings that exceed 1020 characters, a File DSN is temporarily created. Refer to this page for details on the implementation.
Support for Short Names: Progress short names are supported by this release of Monarch Data Prep Studio, specifically in the Other Connection Options field. Refer to this page for details on the implementation.
