    Hello lfgstaking.

    Yes, if You created a table using the first option - Create a table linked to an existing data source - then the table will automatically update after a short period, when You make a change in Google Spreadsheets.

    Please go through our documentation on creating tables from Google Spreadsheets, and please note:

    1. The data is read from the data source every time the page loads, so when your tables are large (more than 2000-3000 cells) this source won’t be the right choice since the page with large tables will load slow, or even crash after reaching a certain size.
    2. There is a cache on the Google side, so when you update the table it might take up to 5-15 minutes to be reflected in wpDataTable.

    Once you create a table from a Google Spreadsheet, changes in the core file from which a table is created, like:

    • Changing the column’s name,
    • Changing the column’s order,
    • Deleting the column, and
    • Adding a new column.

    are highly not recommended, because the old table will not work, at the moment. If you make any of these changes, please recreate the table again.

    • If you are going to use a Google Spreadsheet with formulas, please follow this – Tutorial
    • Keep in mind that wpDataTables doesn’t support Google Spreadsheet with merged cells.
    • Also, don’t apply any formatting in this new sheet. You can make whatever adjustment you may need in WpDataTables.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards,
