Begin by exporting your data from Smartsheets. Log in to Smartsheets, open the desired sheet, and click on "File" > "Export" > "Export to Excel" or "Export to CSV". Save the file to your local machine. CSV is preferred for streamlined data handling in the following steps.
Open the exported CSV file and ensure that the data is clean and formatted correctly. Check for any inconsistencies, such as missing headers or incorrect data types, and rectify these issues. If necessary, use spreadsheet software to clean and format your data to match the schema of your Redshift destination table.
Log in to your AWS Management Console and navigate to the S3 service. Create a new bucket (or use an existing one) to temporarily store your CSV file. Make sure the bucket is in the same region as your Redshift cluster to avoid cross-region data transfer fees. Upload the CSV file to the S3 bucket.
Ensure that your Redshift cluster is set up and running. If not, create a new Redshift cluster through the AWS Management Console. Note the cluster endpoint, database name, and any authentication credentials, as you will need these for data loading.
Create an IAM role with the necessary permissions to allow Redshift to access the S3 bucket. In the AWS Management Console, navigate to the IAM service, create a role, and attach the policy "AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess". Next, associate this IAM role with your Redshift cluster under the cluster's "Permissions" tab.
Connect to your Redshift cluster using a SQL client like SQL Workbench/J. Use the `COPY` command to load data from the S3 bucket into the Redshift table. The basic syntax is:
```
COPY your_table_name
FROM 's3://your-bucket-name/your-file-name.csv'
IAM_ROLE 'arn:aws:iam::your-account-id:role/your-role-name'
CSV
IGNOREHEADER 1;
```
Replace placeholders with actual values. Execute the command to start the data transfer.
After loading the data, perform queries on your Redshift table to verify that the data has been transferred correctly. Check for any discrepancies or missing data by comparing sample rows against the original CSV. If issues are found, repeat the data preparation and loading steps as needed.
By following these steps, you can manually transfer data from Smartsheets to Amazon Redshift without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
FAQs
What is ETL?
ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.

Smartsheet's API provides access to a wide range of data types, including:
1. Sheets: Access to all sheets within a Smartsheet account, including their metadata and contents.
2. Rows: Access to individual rows within a sheet, including their metadata and contents.
3. Columns: Access to individual columns within a sheet, including their metadata and contents.
4. Cells: Access to individual cells within a sheet, including their metadata and contents.
5. Attachments: Access to all attachments associated with a sheet, row, or cell.
6. Comments: Access to all comments associated with a sheet, row, or cell.
7. Users: Access to information about users within a Smartsheet account, including their metadata and permissions.
8. Groups: Access to information about groups within a Smartsheet account, including their metadata and membership.
9. Reports: Access to all reports within a Smartsheet account, including their metadata and contents.
10. Templates: Access to all templates within a Smartsheet account, including their metadata and contents.
Overall, Smartsheet's API provides a comprehensive set of tools for accessing and manipulating data within a Smartsheet account, making it a powerful tool for developers and businesses looking to integrate Smartsheet into their workflows.
What is ELT?
ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.
Difference between ETL and ELT?
ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
