Provide DataLink functionality in a Google Sheets add-on

A significant number of companies are moving from the Microsoft Office suite to "G Suite" (Google). This move takes customers from MS Excel to Google Sheets, and they would like to retain PI DataLink as a functional add-on.

In our company of about 30,000 employees, we are using Google Suite. We would definitely appreciate such PI evolution. At least, an online Microsoft Office could be a B plan for part for our thousand of PI users.

Like many of your customers, Microsoft Excel thick clients is going to die since we are moving to more modern technologies using light clients (tablette, chromebook, light notebook, ...).

PI Vision is a good direction, but it doesn't cover (yet?) such needs.

Our company globally transitioned from Microsoft Office to G Suite. OSI Soft's PI is our OT data historian. We have several users that want OT data via Google Sheet.

Thank you.

I've had this request from a customer several times now, (again today) because they're moving to Google Sheets

Having Pi DataLink as an add-on would be very beneficial as we have moved to Google Sheets in place of Microsoft Excel. It would be appreciated if Pi Datalink could me made into an add-on for Sheets. Thank you.

My company has just transitioned over to google sheets. Most excel products have been removed. It would be great to have a google sheet add-on. Please let me know if there are any dates that this add-on may be available.

One of our customers, Snowy Hydro, were looking for this functionality about 2 years ago.
