Column basics

Learn about the basics of adding columns to tables, changing column types, auto-filling columns with data, and more

Updated over a week ago

Rows make up the horizontal element of your tables, while columns make up the vertical elements. Use different columns to add different attributes to your data.

A range of column types provides various ways to format your data, allowing you to store data in the way that makes the most sense. The days of your numbers mistakenly turning into dates are gone, instead of keeping tallies for a vote, try using a reaction column! Column types allow you to change the column to fit your data, rather than change your data to fit a cell.

Have you ever gone to organize data in a table and realized that inputs are not consistent so you have both “Completed” and “Done” in the same list of statuses? Or maybe you accidentally spelled Mississippi wrong and now you have two references to the state in your data. Never a problem again with Coda’s select list columns.

Select lists function as a drop-down of options in a column. They give all collaborators access to the same information when making a selection and Coda stores any formatting so options stay organized and consistent throughout your docs.
