Hello,

Is there a way to transform my Excel synced tables to Glide tables without loosing layouts and query based on that tables ? I build my entire app based on that Excel synced tables but now I would like to stop using them and only use Glide tables, I spent a lot of time to build the layouts and I used a lot of queries accros new Glide tables and/or existing Excel synced tables.

Thank you !

An old trick that used to work specifically with Excel tables was to duplicate the app. When you duplicate the app, I’m not sure if you need to choose to duplicate the data as well, but I think you might have to. I don’t know if that trick still works, but it’s worth trying. If it does work, it should maintain layouts and computed columns.
