Automate Daily CSV to Google Sheets
Budget: $2 – $8 USD
Every day I receive a fresh CSV containing the latest sales. I want that file ingested automatically into a Google Sheet so the data is always current without any manual copy-paste. Each record must capture the Transaction ID, full Product details and the Sales amount exactly as they appear in the source file.
A lightweight Google Apps Script (or comparable Google Sheets API solution) that runs on a daily trigger should do the trick, but I’m open to any approach that keeps everything inside the Google workspace and needs little maintenance once it’s live.
Acceptance criteria
• A Google Sheet that appends the new CSV rows daily, preserving existing data
• Columns mapped 1-to-1: Transaction ID, Product details, Sales amount
• Automatic duplicate check so the same sale never posts twice
• Clear in-sheet timestamp or log confirming each successful update
• Simple setup instructions so I can swap in a new CSV source folder if needed later
Once these points are met and I can watch tomorrow’s file appear in the sheet without intervention, we’re done.
