Coda tables load very slowly

1

Hey) Coda tables load very slowly or doesn’t want to load at all, when they have more than 10.000 rows. Please, maybe somebody know how to solve it?

Hi Sergii,

Can you give more details?

  • Are you opening a Coda doc,
  • Using cross-doc?
  • Uploading from a CSV or other external source?
  • Using webhooks?
  • Using a pack to load a sync table?

Hey @Sergii_Guchok ,

More than 10K rows can mean a lot of things: 11K, 200K, etc. And not all rows are equal - some rows have 4 or 5 text and number columns, soms rows have 50 columns, with calculations, buttons, files, etc.
I have successfully loaded docs with a total of more than 100K rows (divided over more than one table, but including 50K row tables as well. Depending on the formulas in the rows this works in some docs better than other docs.
All said and done: Coda is (in my opinion and experience) not designed to do extremely heavy data processing, but 10-15K rows should not cripple most docs (my most used doc is jam packed with formulas, has more than a 100 tables, including a 15K table with formula’s.
I have done some optimization to keep it working smoothly in daily operations, but we use it in the office on PC’s and on the road on android devices. It seems to big for mobile devices running IOS though.
Greetings,
Joost
