I started with Glide using a lot of Google sheet tabs since it makes debugging so much easier.

I have been plagued with slow performance when creating objects for the first time (I use custom forms and create a ‘CRUD’ row upon first use).

I was watching a screen and noticed that the ‘DATA’ section said ‘no data’ which was wrong since I was looking at it within the google sheet. Then, boom, the ‘DATA’ section had data (the CRUD row).

So the slowness when creating objects for the first time is, I believe, related to syncing between sheets and Glide. Sometimes it is 30 seconds (tolerable)…sometimes 90 seconds 😱

Last November @Darren_Murphy said their is no easy way to migrate tables from sheets to Glide.([Converting Sheet Tab to Glide Table - #2 by Darren\_Murphy](https://community.glideapps.com/t/converting-sheet-tab-to-glide-table/34762/2))

Is that still the case!?! I probably have as many computed columns as I do actual ‘sheets data’ so trying to avoid having to recreate all this.

TIA

It is easier now to get data into Glide Tables than it was back then, and there are a number of options available - copy/paste, import CSV, API. But you’ll still have the same challenge with computed columns - they need to be rebuilt. There have been murmurs about about being able to include computed columns when copying tables, but nothing on the horizon yet.
