# Google Sheets

## Pre-requisites

Setting up a Google Sheets connections requires:

1. The email and key for a GCP service account. Check instructions [here](/lakehouse-platform/connect-your-data/connector-catalog/google-sheets/setting-up-a-service-account.md) if you don't have them.
2. The url for the spreadsheet to be ingested

## Setting up the connector

1. Follow the instructions [here](/lakehouse-platform/connect-your-data/set-up-a-connection.md) and select Google Sheets as the connector type
2. Give a name and a description for your connection
3. Make sure the spreadsheet is shared with the service account email. Read access is enough
4. Add the service account key to the **Service Account Json** field. We strongly recommend using a [Secret](/lakehouse-platform/variables-and-secrets.md) rather than adding it as plain text.
5. Fill in the spreadsheet url
6. Save the connector

## Configuring tabs extractions

After saving the connector, deX will:

1. Scan the spreadsheet and list all available tabs
2. Allow you to select which tabs to extract data from
3. Let you adjust the cell range for data extraction
4. Enable you to configure whether to skip header rows
