Google Sheets Google Analytics Data by Channel - google-analytics

Question

I have a Google Sheets file which calls Google Analytics and pulls metrics. This works great. What I want to do is pull metrics by channel so that the far left column is a collection of channels (PPC, Display, Organic, Social, Email, Referral, Affiliate, Direct). Do I need to use the Multi-Channel Funnel setup? Or is there a better way to do this?
