# Google Sheets: Spreadsheet data in dashboards

**What it’s for:** Human-maintained data including on-call schedules, manual logs, budgets, and targets.

## Good to know

- Reference cells or ranges; there’s no query language to learn
- Requires Google authentication
- Best for small, human-maintained data rather than high-volume telemetry; Google’s sheet size and API rate limits apply

## Best for

- On-call schedules
- Manual tracking and logs
- Application targets and KPIs
- Data non-engineers maintain

> **Tip**: Reference cells using A1 notation, like `Sheet1!A1:E100`.
