I’m importing data into Glide Tables and have some ~2000 rows. Pasting in the data only adds in as many rows as are available on the glide table. Adding new rows can only be done manually one by one, so currently it seems like I’ll have to click the “Add Row” for the next couple of hours. Any workaround this? ---

Hi Elad 👋 Have a look at Krivo’s post: > [@robot Importing data to Glide by use of robot (RPA)](https://community.glideapps.com/t/importing-data-to-glide-by-use-of-robot-rpa/29008): > > Challenge 1 In this moment of time it is not possible to import data (or paste chunks of data) into Glide. @Manu.n has shown a way to import a row at a time from Google sheets to Glide tables which is quite handy if you have not to much data to import.

I would strongly recommend, keeping google sheets as your main source of data, you will have access to countless solutions, like g sheets formulas… scripts, APIs, triggers… and much more… ---

It’s funny I had forgotten about the import feature, I never use it. But yes, we might as well keep life simple and use the built-in import feature 😅 @Elad_Levy, you might want to take a look at Jeff’s recommendation just above 👆 ---

You can upload a file to create a new Glide Table with the data: ![CleanShot 2022-07-05 at 11.31.25@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/7/37d5f5711469cef8137f23a1d89e3a2eb7754c4a.png) You cannot bulk-import to an existing table yet. ---
