I was wondering if there are any plans to introduce a "hover over field" option which displays the data in field? I have a table is too wide for display on a page and I know I can set the table to display in full. but you cant see alot of the data. I get it not much you can do about that. Thought it would be a nice feature for the data in cell to display if you hover over it? Otherwise the fit table to page feature is really a waste of time isnt it?
I mean would be great if you could click on a row and a pop up shows the data for that row but don't want to be greedy!
Any advice on how to manage this for Google Sheets Tables would be appreciated.
Displaying data on hover is not possible, but there are a couple other options.
You can enable Responsiveness in the table, and choose which columns will be hidden from front-end on tablet devices. Then, you can go to wpDataTables settings, and change the tablet's width to a bigger value (2000 for example). When you do this, the plugin will consider all screens below 2000px as tablets, and hide the selected columns which would be available on-click. A "+" sign will appear in the first column, so when you click on it the data hidden will be displayed.
Another option would be to acquire our paid add-on Master-Detail Tables. It does exactly this:

You can choose which columns would be hidden from the table, and then include those columns in a Master-detail pop-up or on a page (depending on how you want to set it up).
