Manually exporting spreadsheets for every report is slow, error-prone, and impossible to share in real time. Connect your Excel files to Klipfolio Klips and turn static data into live dashboards your whole team can see.

How to connect Excel to Klipfolio

  1. Sign in to your Klipfolio account.
  2. Upload your Excel file directly, or connect via Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, SharePoint, or Box to automate future updates.
  3. Select your data in the Klip Editor — choose a column or row header (e.g., A:A) to capture an unlimited range that updates automatically as new rows are added.
  4. Build your Klip by choosing a visualization type, applying formulas, and configuring any filters or indicators.

Top reasons to use Klipfolio for Excel dashboards

  • Real-time data without manual exports. Once your spreadsheet is connected, dashboards refresh automatically — no more emailing updated files or copy-pasting numbers.

  • Combine Excel with 100+ other data sources. Blend spreadsheet data with metrics from web services, SQL databases, and cloud apps in a single dashboard.

  • Custom visualizations beyond the grid. Use the Klip Editor to build charts, gauges, and scorecards that make your data easier to read and act on.

  • TV mode for team visibility. Display your Excel dashboards on office screens to promote a data-driven culture without relying on reports that go unread.

  • Broad distribution options. Share dashboards via public links, embedded views, scheduled PDF emails, or role-based access — your data reaches the right people, your way.

Use the Connector Gallery to create a custom Excel dashboard

With our Connector Gallery, you can create custom API queries to pull in data from your Excel account. Building custom queries allows you to specify the metrics and time periods that you want to track.

You can use custom queries to build out visualizations in Klipfolio. You can also combine your Excel data with other relevant data to create your custom dashboard.
