I can only talk about Glide, because that’s the only no-code builder I’ve used. The one thing I wish I knew about Glide before I got started is how god-damned powerful the Glide Data Editor is (and was). Then I wouldn’t have wasted so much freaking time messing around with spreadsheet formulas and scripts 🤦‍♂️ ---

> [@Darren\_Murphy](#): > > I wish I knew about Glide before I got started is how god-damned powerful the Glide Data Editor is This is intriguing! For me, power in the data editor comes from: - Call API - Built in Integration columns - Glide AI columns - Javascript Column What’s missing from this list in your opinion? ---

Relations from the Users Table… Single Value → Whole row ---

> [@Darren\_Alderman](#): > > - Call API > - Built in Integration columns > - Glide AI columns > - Javascript Column Absolutely all of the above have taken Glide to a whole new level. But none of those even existed back when you and I started with Glide. I was more referring to the core set of computed columns that have been there for at least the past 3 years - Math, Relations, Single Value, Rollups, Joined Lists, If-then-else, etc. Took me a while to realise how powerful the above set of columns are, but once I did it opened up a whole world of possibilities. Oh, and of the more recent additions one that definitely belongs on your list is the group of JSON columns - JSON Object, JSON Template, Query JSON. Talk about turbocharging your Apps… ---

Glide is poor at presenting tables of data. It is years behind Excel in this respect. ---

Yes, a nice and smart tool that we needed since long time ago! BTW, have you taken a look at this bug I found working with New Table component as well? > [@New Table Style : Dynamic conditional colors to tags](https://community.glideapps.com/t/new-table-style-dynamic-conditional-colors-to-tags/72946/5): > > Hola! I was using this great component yesterday and I think I found 2 bugs: If you use the Tag or Choice features (Type) and the column where the value will be saved/read is empty, nothing is shown unfortunately. The Choice/Tag component must show at least the options (list) if the Edit parameter is marked but nothing happens. If you use USC the situation is worse, those are blank/empty in the beginning and the component New Table can’t work with them if the Tag/Choice feature is selected. … Saludos! ---

I too sometimes still have to be amazed at glides table power!! I was building a step in my [make.com](http://make.com) integration. It was consuming about 100 tasks per run. Then brainwave!! The entire branch of that automation could be eliminated with relations in the glide table itself! No need to populate those columns with a male integration! Boom. And that’s how it works. Never stop learning! ---

Just tried it and it’s brilliant! Game changer… thank you. I particularly appreciate the Group option. This effectively releases one column from the table and gives it more room to breath. Since you are sprinkling star dust around, here is a related wish: add an enhancement to the new table component that exports the table to CSV. Crucially the export would respect any user filters applied. That would be awesome. Moreover, If we could have chart components that were linked to the table - again respecting user filters - then that would be incredible. ---

Agree that both would be great to have as native features. That said, both are already possible with the use of custom filters. More work to setup, but definitely possible. ---

More work to setup, but definitely possible. Even if there’s a workaround, if you believe something should be a native feature, I’d toss a post on #Feature Requests so others can pile on. 🙂 ---

So true
