Hi! So I would love to throw this feature request into the ring: After just signing up to Monzo Plus for a little bit - and my favourite feature being the “Live Data Export to Google Sheets” - I would really love to see this Live feed work it’s way into Emma too. I _love_ dashboarding things - and the CSV data - while I can do it periodically, and it is great - it would could be super powerful if it did a Live export. It would mean I could chart things in a more in depth way that I can see in a phone screen, and those always be live. Or also use the power of IFTTT with a Google Sheet too. Would love to see this pop up 🙂 Cheers! ---

The Monzo regular 😉 seen you taken a fancy to the Monzo pot generator 😉 pitching exportation to a spread sheet to an aggregator is like pitching cows milk to a cow;) I Remember the days my family used to do their banking on excel , can’t see the appeal if You’ve got services like this built into a free app why would you want to export it to a dated format on a cloud version of excel 🥵 ---

> [@sean.read](#): > > The Monzo regular 😉 Knew I should have gone for a different username! > [@sean.read](#): > > pitching exportation to a spread sheet to an aggregator is like pitching cows milk to a cow Well to be fair, they already have a CSV export as part of Pro - so clearly these cows are already sipping their milk… But maybe not instantly on every transaction being made? Ok bad analogy Either way I certainly think this is something that would only complement their existing feature - and clearly they have the capabilities in place for most of it! ---

Haha no worries it was thanks your comment I found it 😉 Not to be rude 🤪 I can’t get it, you sign up to an aggregate to help with ones finances , then people want to export it to Google Sheets to manage it themselves, it’s like what’s the point in going for the aggregate If you’re Going to use them as a middle man to export to a spreadsheet, it’s like opening a bank account and keeping your money under your bed 😂 you may as well enter the data manually 😂 ---

> [@sean.read](#): > > you may as well enter the data manually But why would you enter the data manually if you could download it all from Emma in seconds haha? 😂 ---

The whole point of Emma 😉 Free app, decent features, managing finances if you’re gonna export to a spreadsheet what’s the point in the app 😉 then you get the Pro Release, enhanced analytics & features, all in one app, and then you go to export it to sheets or excel to manage your funds in a spreadsheet 🤪 it’s a fad, all hyped up as Monzo have paywalled it 😉 just like the metal cards 😉 I’d scrap the idea and just link up with Xero 😉 That would make SMES very happy:)automatic book keeping from all accounts instead of one 😉 ---

Yeah I guess the thing with this is that everybody likes to manage their money in a slightly different way! What’s important for one person, isn’t for another! And although we would love to build an app that had everything exactly how everyone wants, we can’t 😂, which is where the excel sheets come in handy for those people that need an extra level of detail! ---

Oh yes appreciated people like to manage money in different ways 🙃 Just wouldn’t say it’s a priority 🥵 like I was having a natter with Joel, about getting the outdated icons sorted out, as some are so outdated 🤫 But unfortunately it’s not a priority 😩, Was very nice and helpful though 😆 like it’s the base platform, it’s a paid platform , it’s nice having twitter handles but you have to do it to every transaction ! That’s just an example,think the basics need to be ironed out before everyone jumps on new features(that take the experience away from the awesome service you guys have) ✌😊 ---

Is this live data export still in the pipeline? When might it be available? ---
