How to sync data from a document into a table?

1

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to sync data from a Coda document into a Coda table. I’d like to be able to have headings that correspond with column headers in the table and set up an automation to sync whatever text is below those headings to the appropriate columns in the table. Is this possible?

Thank you!

Hi @Maille_O_Donnell,

Welcome to the community!

We don’t have a way to reference all the content on a page in a formula to pull it into a table. There are some table layouts that let you see the row in a way that might make it easier to just have the content in the table only. You could try “Detail View” for this. It’s what I use for my meeting notes.

Thank you! :slight_smile: I figured out a workaround using Google Docs so I’m syncing from Google Docs instead. Tutorial here for anyone interested: https://coda.io/@atc/how-to-extract-data-from-tables-in-multiple-google-docs-and-combine-into-one-coda-table
