Incremental Exports

Incremental Exports

Incremental export in DataChamp refers to the process of adding new data to an existing Google Sheets file without overwriting the existing information. This ensures continuous updates while preserving historical data.

Finding the Next Free Row:
DataChamp searches for the next available row in the existing Google Sheets file.
New data is appended starting from this row, ensuring that existing data remains intact.

Checking the Tab Name:
DataChamp verifies the name of the sheet tab (worksheet) where the data should be exported.
If the tab name matches with the one in the App, DataChamp will use that sheet for the export.
If the tab name does not match, DataChamp will create a new tab to store the exported data.

How can I ensure that my data is exported to the correct sheet in Google Sheets?
Verify Tab Names: Ensure the tab name in Google Sheets matches the one set in DataChamp (e.g., if DataChamp expects a tab named “DC”, ensure it exists in your sheet).
Review Export Settings: Check DataChamp settings to confirm the correct sheet name is specified for your exports.

What happens if the tab name doesn’t match?
DataChamp will automatically create a new tab in the Google Sheets file to store the exported data. This ensures the export process continues without data loss.

Can I customize the tab name used for incremental export?
Yes! You can configure the desired tab name in DataChamp settings to match your needs.
