I am using DocAutomator to generate PDF. But does anyone know how to view as image from URL?  
As we know we can use formula =image(URL) if we are using Google Sheet.  
Unfortunately, DocAutomator only using Google Doc.  
Great if you guys can help!

You will need to have a unique column for each value. If you have 10 values then generate 10 columns. Use the splice array column. The first one should have the value 0 and then 1. The next 1 then 2, etc… This will return 1 value for each column.

However, you now have 10 single element arrays. You then need to convert the single elements into text. So you will need another set of 10 columns. This time each column should be a joined list column, where you convert each element into text.

What is the end result that you need to pass to Docs Automator? (I’ve not used it yet, so I’m not familiar with what it expects).

Yes, but I mean what do you actually need to send to Docs Automator?  
A JSON Array?  
A Joined List?  
Something else?

You already have a Joined List, right?  
You need to translate the values to something else?

Correct, i do have.  
So the first question will be TRUE, same with question 2, 3 and 4.  
The TRUE i need to reflect in Document

Hi @biha, is the table dynamic aka do the number of rows / items included vary? OR are they static, meaning the same rows are always present?

Hi @Rupert !

Some static, some dynamic.  
Because there’s few tables.

Thanks. Static values (Q1, Q2, …) will have to come from a single column. Meaning you will have to have a single column for Q1, one for Q2, … it seems like you’re looking these values up from another table. You’re then passing these values in the integration to DocsAutomator.

Dynamic values will have to be formatted via a joined list and then turned into an array. Please see “line items” or “multiple line items” in the article you shared above.

Happy to help with the syntax 🙂

I’m not quite familiar with this case, but wouldn’t it be easier to construct a HTML table inside Glide then pass the full thing over? Is that something you can render?
