Illustrative idea · DATA OPERATIONS
Review a spreadsheet import
Prepare proposed records for a data owner to inspect before they enter a shared table.
Keep a business data table aligned with a reviewed spreadsheet.
Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.
Compare a selected spreadsheet with its destination data table and identify new or changed records. Show the differences, matching rules, and record counts so a data owner can inspect the proposed changes before any records are added or updated.
Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.
Spreadsheet update reviewA selected spreadsheet containing records that may need to be reflected in a business data table
“Compare the chosen spreadsheet and destination records, prepare a preview of new and changed rows, and wait for a data owner to approve the exact updates before applying them.”
Work through the request.
Clear tasks, with review where it matters.
- Choose the spreadsheet and destination table
- Agree on how records are matched
- Compare current and proposed values
A difference report with proposed additions and changes, source scope, and record counts, held until an authorized owner approves the update.
What this workflow could do
Helps a team keep structured records consistent between a working spreadsheet and a business data table.
Review points proposed in this idea
A comparison can miss duplicates or misread changed values, and a one-way update can overwrite trusted data. Verify the matching fields, row scope, and every proposed change; require a data owner to approve before records are added or updated.
How the idea could work
Select an illustrative task to explore its proposed role. No workflow runs here.
-
Confirm the approved source, destination, owner, and set of records included in the comparison.
-
Choose stable identifying fields and route missing, repeated, or conflicting matches to a person instead of guessing.
-
Identify records that are new or changed and show the current value alongside the proposed value.
-
Check the number of additions and changes, sample values, empty fields, and records outside the expected range.
-
Require an authorized data owner to approve the exact rows and field changes before the destination is changed.
-
Compare the resulting records with the approved preview and keep any rejected or unresolved differences visible.
Step 1 of 6
Choose the spreadsheet and destination table
Confirm the approved source, destination, owner, and set of records included in the comparison.
Proposed setup considerations
These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.
- 01
Confirm the source and destination owners
Choose the spreadsheet, business data table, responsible owners, and direction of the planned update.
- 02
Define matching and change rules
Document record identifiers, fields that may change, duplicate handling, and the treatment of blank or conflicting values.
- 03
Set approval and recovery expectations
Name who approves updates and decide how a mistaken change can be identified and corrected.
- 04
Test new, changed, and duplicate rows
Compare representative records and verify that uncertain matches and destination changes remain held for review.
