Yes, you can export data from Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to both Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets as of December 2025, although the methods differ and have evolved since the Universal Analytics sunset. GA4 doesn’t offer direct, one-click downloads of all data like its predecessor; instead, data is exported via reports and the BigQuery integration.

Currently, exporting to Sheets is most commonly achieved using the ‘Explore’ section within GA4. You can build custom reports with the dimensions and metrics you need, then export these as CSV files, which can be directly opened in Google Sheets. For Excel, the process generally involves exporting as a CSV and then opening that file in Excel. The GA4 Data API, now including more robust functionality in 2026, allows for programmatic data extraction, enabling more complex integrations with Excel via tools like Power Query. The BigQuery export, available to GA4 properties, provides a daily, raw data dump; this requires a Google Cloud project and some SQL knowledge to query and then export to spreadsheet formats. Australian businesses should be aware that BigQuery usage incurs Google Cloud costs, and data residency considerations apply when storing data in Google Cloud regions.

Essentially, GA4 data is extracted through report exports or a data warehouse connection, then converted to spreadsheet formats for analysis.
