If this has been there for a while and I missed it, I don’t care. But, I tried to paste an Excel column in a gliding table, and it worked!! ---

@Jim_McIntosh That is really nice! And you can actually paste a table of data - not just one column!! But you need to have the rows created so that data will fit ---

@Jason any chance that you can auto-add the necessary rows when you paste rows/table of data if the number of rows in the inserted data is bigger than the size of the glide table ---

That’s on my TODO list, there are definitely performance issues once you are pasting a lot of data. I would not paste more than 100 cells at a time right now unless you are very very careful not to close the tab for 10-20 minutes 😛 Firestore is not super fast at writing a shit ton of transactions it seems. ---

@jason That is very good to know before I go crazy and insert lots and lots of data 🙃 ---

🙂 I noticed no undo and I’m glad you are thinking of it. I’m more of a glass is half full and they are getting me more water kind of guy. ---

Hi, Is there a way to copy from a Gsheet table (shown on a Glide app) into a Glide table created in the same app? And, to make things more complicated, can we do it between Glide apps? Thanks
