I'm looking to switch to wpDataTables but want to be sure it will work as needed.
I create tables monthly that require two row headings, like in the included photo.
I would like to be able to bring these in from google sheets.
With my current plugin when I try to bring in the pictured spreadsheet table it turns into a mess (also pictured).
I'd like it to look a little more like the basic web table I also included a photo for.
Are double headers rows possible in wpDataTable and will they work when brought in from google sheets? (Link to the table in question is included in the related URL)
Unfortunately, pulling data from a Google Spreadsheet like this is not possible. wpDataTables would probably pull the data in like that other plugin does.
We don't have support for double headers, or merged cells.
We are going to release a new table type, where you will be able to add data like this in the next couple of weeks. However, those tables would not be editable, filterable, searchable from front-end. You would need to create the table manually, from back-end, and it could only be used for displaying data.
