Glide vs Appsheet

Not too sure who to mention here. @SantiagoPerez

  • You can concatenate columns (across columns) by using the ‘Template’ computed column.
  • You can concatenate lists (down a column) by using the ‘Joined list’ computed column.
  • You can split strings of text and turn them into array elements by using the ‘Split text’ computed column.

I’ve never used AppSheet, but it seems that a virtual column in AppSheet might be similar to a computed column in Glide. In Glide, a computed column is a column that takes data from a basic column (dumb static data) and computes it in some way. Same idea as in a Google Sheet: some columns have data in them, and others formulas that compute that data.
