Data Sources: Your Source of Truth
In Profit Hawk, data sources are sheets automatically updated with your latest Amazon Seller data. Think of these sheets as your foundational data—your “source of truth”—for accurate and reliable reporting.
Once set up, your data sheet is continuously refreshed by Profit Hawk. Because these sheets are critical for data integrity, we recommend hiding your data sheet after setup. This ensures it remains untouched and reliable.
How to Hide Your Data Sheet:
Right-click the data sheet tab at the bottom of Google Sheets.
Select “Hide sheet”.
Your data is still accessible to formulas and reports but remains safely hidden from accidental edits.
Reports and Dashboards: Customize Your Insights
Reports and dashboards are separate sheets you use to visualize, analyze, and customize your Amazon data. This is where you’ll apply formulas (like VLOOKUP) to pull data from your hidden data sheets.
Profit Hawk gives you two ways to build your reports:
Use a Pre-built Template: Easily accessible from your Profit Hawk Google Workspace Add-on sidebar. Templates provide instant insights designed specifically for Amazon sellers.
Start from Scratch: Build fully customized reports tailored exactly to your business needs using your own formulas and layout.
Recommended Workflow:
Let Profit Hawk populate your data sheet automatically.
Immediately hide your data sheet for protection.
Build reports and dashboards that link dynamically to your data source.
By clearly separating your data sources from your custom reports, you ensure accuracy, simplicity, and maximum flexibility for your Amazon business analytics.
