Integration Details

Normalized data for Excel analysis

Improvado's Marketing Common Data Model creates consistent field names and data types across all marketing platforms before making data available to Excel Power Query. This standardization means you can combine Google Ads and Facebook data in Excel without worrying about different metric definitions. Power Query can easily merge and analyze data from multiple marketing channels using standardized schemas. The normalized structure supports Excel's pivot tables, formulas, and advanced analytics across unified marketing datasets.
