Plecto

Microsoft 365 Excel

Step 1: Organize your Excel sheets

Integrate your Excel spreadsheets into Plecto from two types of drives:

  • OneDrive and

  • SharePoint.

Before you integrate, organize your sheets like in the table below.

Use a compatible date and time format: MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM or YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

See example

💡 To track employee activity, add two columns containing 1) employee emails and 2) their full names. Column titles can be anything as long as you follow the sheet structure.

Step 2: Integrate your sheets

  1. In Plecto, go to Data sources > New data source > Microsoft Excel.

  2. Select the drive your spreadsheet is stored in: you can choose between OneDrive and SharePoint.

  3. Click Next, sign in to your account, and click Accept to give Plecto access to your workbooks.

  4. Choose a workbook. If it contains multiple sheets, select the sheets to import. Each sheet will create one data source.

  5. Configure the settings for your upcoming data source(s) by matching the column names from your sheet. You can omit the Team field.

  6. Click Next to finish and import your data. 🎉
