I have a Azure logic app that looks up for new tweets with an specific hashtag, but I can't figure out how to insert that tweets into a Excel file. I have seen a Google Sheets option, but I want to do it Excel Online.
There is no out of box excel online connector available as of now. You can always vote for the new features

In a Google App Script attached to a Google Sheet, I have the file ID of an excel file. I want to read the worksheet names of that excel file. The tutorials I've seen on conversion load the excel file as a blob then write it to Drive as a Google Sheet, then read it.
Is there a way to do this that does not to create artifacts that I then need to delete? The reasoning is that I am concerned with the following: safety if there's a bug (the wrong thing gets deleted), additional processing time (I need to process a long list of excel files), and leftover artifacts if the script aborts unexpectedly between inserting and deleting.
Thank you!
Answering your questions, the reason the tutorials first convert the Excel file to a Google Sheet is to interact with it (in your case, to gather the worksheet names) it's because the Google APIs or Apps Script cannot interact with the Excel file as row data, and Google needs to convert the file to something readable using Google APIs.
A workaround for this will be to use Excel JavaScript API to read the information original Excel file, you can use externals API in Apps Script since it's based in JavaScript, so you will use Apps Script as an IDE.
However, you can do the same with any other IDE that works with JavaScript.
There are some examples on how to list the worksheets using the Excel JavaScript API in this blog.
If you will like to keep using Google APIs, and using the Google Apps Script built-in services. You will need to convert the file to Google Sheets.

You can review more about the Excel Services API services here.
I've been searching [actions on google data logging, spreadsheet, recording data, etc] and haven't found how to connect the assistant to Google Docs. Is this just not possible yet? The goal is to replace patient care sheets with spoken updates that are date and time stamped as they get added to the spreadsheet. On the back end spreadsheet tools will be used to search and report on the data.
There is no direct way to "connect" the Assistant to a Google Sheet. This isn't a feature that is built-in to the Assistant, just like there is no way to automatically log things from your desktop or a website to a Google Sheet.
Fortunately, Google provides a developer environment for the Assistant known as Actions on Google and various APIs for Google Sheets. You can use these tools to make an Action that records things to a sheet the way you'd like.
There is at least one action that already does so - Vodo Drive.
I am trying out the features of Knowledge connectors in Dialogflow Enterprise Edition. Where I have tried adding documents from storage-bucket with both CSV and HTML format and it works as expected.
But when I tried accessing documents from Google Docs or from Google Sheets it throws an error saying 'Fail to crawl'. I assume this is due to lack of permission, please let me know is there a way to read it from Docs or sheets directly if so how to do that.
Dialogflow currently does not support this. The workaround is to convert the Google Sheets into a CSV and importing into Dialogflow.

I am completely new Office 365 (and SharePoint) but have been asked to create a site that will display a range of data in the form of graphs and tables etc The data will change daily and therefore it must be possible for members of the team to enter new raw data, for the results to then be displayed through Office 365.
I realise this might sound a little vague but my initial thoughts are that SharePoint is what I should use to display the data and to have a SQL backend database that stores the data for SharePoint to connect to. Having done some reading on the topic and I am still a little unsure if this is common practice or even possible.
Any inital pointers would be greatly appreciated.
This can be done with Power BI. The data sources can by almost anything, SQL, spreadsheets, online sources, you name it. Create queries to get the data, model it (if required) and build reports and dashboards that display in a browser (or on a phone).
I'm trying to run a PowerQuery on a work-related Google Sheet (that I can't share here) so that the data appears in Excel and refreshes when I need it to.
I have published the Google sheet to the web and gotten the link (in web format, not Excel, but this is failing no matter which file format I publish in).
I then go to Data->From Web in Excel and I paste the link to the Google Doc get this:
Query Preview
As you can see, the data isn't appearing. It should be a table with a bunch of data.
Can someone help me fix this?
When using Google's File / Publish to the web pop-up, change the 2nd setting from "Web page" to "Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)". It then builds a link that works without modification in Power Query.
FYI the best in-depth discussion on this topic is on this thread:

BTW if you have published your Google sheet to the web, then there shouldn't be any obstacle to sharing it here - it's already visible to anyone.
