Hi all, I browsed through past posts but I was not able to find something similar. I’m wondering if I’m the only one who needs something like this. What about having a Data Grid element in the docs? Basically, just like an excel grid, with cells that can be referenced through coordinates. Don’t…

I know the pain you feel. I’m in the middle of migrating a complex Sheet to Coda for a client. Since the sheet is a big cross-table with values and aggregation on both axes and is oriented vertically (pivoted so to say), it f-cks with my brain big time. That said, I still managed to map it onto a C…

Hi @Paul_Danyliuk , somehow I was pretty sure of your answer :wink: Firstly: wow! That’s an amazing implementation :tophat: Said that, I come to your opinion: IMO it is much better to put effort but have a strict structure rather than have a freeform cell grid that’s much more prone to messing t…

Dear @Federico_Stefanato Have you ever considered to use named formulas ? :bulb: I use them for this type of cases and in an helper section of the doc I place them with some explanation as reference to remember what I have been creating this for.

Hi @Jean_Pierre_Traets , sure Named Fomulas help in referencing sparse/unstructured data, but side of the problem is also properly displaying them. Currently there is not a way to put numbers in a page aside from either on a table or following the normal document’s flow. It’s great in the use-case…

+1 for simple components to use in laying out a Coda Page, like the Grid concept (or what’s called a Table in Google Docs or MS Word). More on my wishes here: [image] Table as layout vs. data store I think you might be overthinking it @Connor_McCormick . Open a Google …
