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.
