Hi @Kochan, and welcome to Coda Community! 🤝 Firstly, by registering you agreed on the guidelines of this community ([FAQ - Coda Maker Community](https://connect.superhuman.com/guidelines)): it’s really appreciated to honour them. Coming to your problem, currently formats on some data types are not covering all the full fine-grained spectrum (numbers, date, time). However there are some workarounds to programmatically convert into the proper data type. > [@Kochan](#): > > ok, maybe that “add formula” button can help me make a converter to convert that all to numbers Not quite, but you can: 1. make a formula column (not editable) that displays in the correct data type 2. add a button that does it and puts the data in an editable column I tried to provide you a sample with both alternatives: let me know if it is clear: https://coda.io/embed/ApQD1HGfij/_su-9p?viewMode=embedplay Also, Coda - as well as other relational oriented data tools - favourites a row-based approach rather that a column-oriented. Meaning that it is usually easier add a row than a column and if you follow this principle you’ll take full advantage of the tool (also provided in the sample). Let me know if you have additional questions. Cheers! --- _[View the full topic](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/copying-table-from-google-spreadsheets-numbers/23398)._
