## Description

11-
This intermediate Google Apps Script codelab shows you how to build a sample app that calls
12-
the Google BigQuery API to perform a query on one of its public data sets; in this case, a query
13-
that determines the top 10 most common words in Shakespeare's works. BigQuery has a collection
14-
of public data sets, so you're free to issue other queries against this or any other data table
15-
your desire in doing this exercise.
16-
17-
The app stores the query results from BigQuery into a newly-created Google Sheet. The app then
18-
create a chart based on the results data. Finally, it creates a new Google Slides presentation
19-
with one slide featuring the data from the spreadsheet and another with the chart from the Sheet.

The codelab supported by this repository can be found at https://g.co/codelabs/bigquery-sheets-slides). Follow its step-by-step instructions and refer to the corresponding repo folder as necessary to see where your app should be at the end of each step. The `final` subdirectory contains the completed, fully-working sample. The manifest file (see below) stays constant throughout the codelab and thus is stationed at the top-level of this repo. There are only 2 files for this entire sample:

The sample app was inspired by other samples available from the [Google
23-
Developers](http://developers.google.com) team, combining and build on top of both of them:

- `appsscript.json`: Apps Script application manifest

- `final/bq-sheets-slides.js`: application code

This intermediate Google Apps Script codelab shows you how to build a sample app that demonstrates
12+
use of the Google BigQuery API to query a public data set and create a Google Slides presentation
13+
with the results data. A Google Sheet is used as an intermediary to store the analysis data as
14+
well as its ability to create charts on its data.

BigQuery first performs a query on one of its public data sets; in this case, a query that

determines the top 10 most common words in Shakespeare's works. BigQuery has a collection of
18+
public data sets, so you're free to issue other queries against this or any other data table

you desire in doing this exercise. The app stores the query results from BigQuery into a
20+
newly-created Google Sheet. The Sheets API is then used to create a chart based on the results
21+
data. Finally, a new Google Slides presentation is created. A new slide is added whereby the
22+
the Sheet's cell data is imported. A second new slide is added embedding (and linking to) the
23+
chart from the Sheet.

Follow its step-by-step instructions and refer to the corresponding repo folder as necessary to
27+
see where your app should be at the end of each (major) step. The `final` subdirectory contains
28+
the completed, fully-working sample. The manifest file (see below) stays constant throughout the
29+
codelab and thus is stationed at the top-level of this repo. There are only 2 files for this
30+
entire sample:

- [`appsscript.json`](https://github.com/googlecodelabs/bigquery-sheets-slides/blob/master/appsscript.json): Apps Script application manifest
