Whats the workflow? Whats are you planning to do with the data once you get it into the sheet?
Is this a one time transfer, or are you trying to s4et up an automated process to transfer the data on a rugular babsis or based on a trigger event?
There does seem to be a google sheets api.

Hi Christopher,
I wanted to write the weather station's data into a Google Sheets so I could see my data and work on it.
I would like that every time my station gets a measure it is also written on the sheet.
Thank you.
Alberto
(P.S. I'm sorry if I've written something wrong but english isn't my first language)

Terrific. I understand why you might like to do that, but I'd first like to convince you to use the built in MATLAB analysis and Visualizations apps in ThingSpeak. You can use the data import export tab in the UI to get one copy of the data and copy it to google sheets by hand for investigation, but once thats done, you can easily bring the analysis back to ThingSpeak, and use MATLAB to give you automatically generated analysis and plots.
Here is a very simple example where we read the data froma channel and calculate the average. Then a plot is generated that shows the average, and its constantly updated with new data, and available online to share and look at anytime.
With MATLAB, availalbe for no additional cost in ThingSpeak, you can build much more complex analysis and automate it.
If you arent sure how to use MATLAB, you can ask here, or ask at the MATLAB AI chat playground for help building your analysis.
