Hello! I am building a cheese app and our library currently has 1250 cheeses. Now, I have a spreadsheet with 3400 new cheeses that I want to add to the library. However, when I try to copy paste rows from an excel file funny things are happening. In particular, some cells have no value. Rather than respect that, the glide paste is putting whatever data is available in the first available column. Is this a known issue? Is there a better way to add this data? Any advice would be greatly appreciated and happy to provide more context if that’s helpful

I would recommend first exporting to CSV, and then import that into your Glide table. Be sure that the column names are an exact match. Any that don’t match will be created as new columns.

Did Darren’s suggestion work?
