This tutorial explains how to download AdWords account data into Google Sheets. To do this, here I will talk about a free addon that Google launched recently, Google AdWords (Beta). This Sheets addon allows you to download data from AdWords account into a Sheet in a few clicks. You can directly get data about campaigns, Ad Groups, Ads, Targeted Locations, Search term, and some others. Along with this, you can choose what data you want to show in the different columns of the sheet. However, using this addon, you can only use one AdWords account in one Google Sheet.
Prior to this Google AdWords addon, a user had to get data manually in the Sheets. But when you use this addon, you can do that in a few clicks. You just have to choose the target Google AdWords account and then start downloading the data. And in one click, you can refresh the reports that you have created and even delete them easily.

Google AdWords addon is currently in beta stage but works as it is supposed to do. You just have to install it and then start using it. You can easily connect it to any of your AdWords account and then start generating the reports like a pro. And the following steps will help you on how to use it.
