# Use Fivetran to load data from external sources to Teradata Vantage
15+
16+
## Overview
17+
This quickstart demonstrates how to use Fivetran to transfer data from different sources like `Google Sheets`, `PostgreSQL` and `Amazon S3` into `Teradata Vantage`.
18+
19+
## Load data from Google Sheets to Teradata Vantage
