Setting a Range

Sometimes dragging and dropping a full Sheet into your Coda doc may not be ideal.
This could be for a variety of reasons; it may have multiple tables within it, or maybe it has summarization data that doesn’t make sense within your sync table. In these instances you’ll want to set the Range parameter to specify what parts of the table you want to pull.

Written Instructions

Pull in the Sheet you want to use. See
Installing and syncing
⁠
for details.
The table options should then be displayed automatically, if not you can hover over the table and select ‘Edit’ or ‘Options’ then ‘Google Sheets Sheet’
If you haven’t already we recommend you create a
named range
⁠
in your sheet.
Once you’ve named your range go back to the sync tables options.

Horizontally Oriented Data

Sometimes data in a spreadsheet isn’t set up the way you would see it in Coda.
In Coda you’ll always have data set up in a vertically oriented matter in tables. Google Sheets does not have any rules about how you set up your data so you may find some cases where the Columns are the Major Dimension, meaning that the columns contain the most important information and the rows are used for organizing or categorizing that information.
For these cases we’ve added the parameter Transform simply check it on before you sync to get the data oriented correctly in Coda.
