As a small business owner, I am constantly worried about my metrics.
How many users signed up yesterday?
How much revenue did we have this week?
What are the emails of people who canceled?
Before using DB Spreadsheets, I always had to bother my Data Analyst.
She never complained but I could always detect a *sigh* when she had to run the same report for the umpteenth time and email it to me
Now, she has set up auto-reporting using DB Spreadsheets and I get all these reports directly in my inbox as an Excel Spreadsheet!
I can then open my Spreadsheet to look and track everything I need.
The person in charge of database operations will need to set up these reports
For example, for my What are the emails of people who canceled? report, the data analyst created a new report and wrote the following query
select customer_email, sign_up_dt,
plan_info, cancel_dt from customer_table
where is_cancel = True
and cancel_dt > CURRENT_DATE - 7;
Then from the dashboard, she set the email to send every week on Monday morning
This set-up eliminated a constant load of work from my Data Analyst and saved me from trying to find her each Monday morning :)
