Hi, good afternoon. Have a limit in import table excel?  
I’m trying to upload a 30.9MB excel spreadsheet, but it’s throwing an error. I suspect it’s the file size. I didn’t find any topic regarding this, not even in the documentation…

Glide conveniently provides import/export options directly from the Data Editor to help with this. However the file size of my exported data came out at a bit over 25MB, and the maximum size file you can import into a Big Table is 4.8MB. So my CSV file needed to be split up into smaller bite sized chunks that Glide could handle. As this is something I can see I’ll probably need to do aga…

Obrigada, eu não tinha visto. Sabe me dizer se eu consigo receber dados via API REST?

What do you mean by REST API? Do you mean you want to add data to Glide through Glide’s API?

Isso. Isso é possível de alguma forma?  
Preciso subir essa planilha para a plataforma, mas não consigo pensar em outra forma…

Either you do it the way @Darren_Murphy stated above, or construct a flow that allows you to upload a file to a field in Glide, send that to Make via a webhook, process the file in Make and send batches of 100 rows to the table you want there.

But it sounds to me that you have multiple sheets, so that makes it more complex.
