Excel like tables #520

Description

@risedangel

It would be nice if we could have tables that we can use formulas.
It would be even better if we can link cells from different pages so once we edit a table in a page, every linked table can be update automatically

    @lucasrueda i domt have enough time to thorougly analyze that link. But it seems like a good match for the need. I am unable to verify the "linking cells from different tables" need. But rest seems okay

    I created another request at #655 regarding tables that might be related to the request here.

    We have no plans to support this.
    You can make use of the already integrated Airtable and Google sheets embeds.

    • embedded Airtable of the free plan are read-only
    • "publish to web" feature of Google Sheet always creates a read-only version

    Are there any other options to have a writable (Notion-like) data grid in Docmost?

    @githubkusi :

    Microsoft OneDrive supports embedding Excel workbooks in webpages with full interactivity (according to the instructions here and on YouTube here and also as shown in the images below), so in Docmost pages as well (came with v.0.21.0-here - #1234).

    F.N. : Microsoft OneDrive provides an embedding feature with interactivity but does not save the inputs/edits through the embedded pages.

    With "Publish to Web" feature of "Google Sheets", it is possible to embed worksheets in Docmost pages with interactivity and simultaneous, real time editability/updateability collaboration, according to the instructions here and as also shown in the GIF images below.

    And the below is a bit cropped (leaner) version.

    @mustafa-yilmaz Thanks for the hint of the new iframe embed. However, as you already noted, for OneDrive this does not save changes. While you can edit the table, theses changes only persist in the current session. If you open the Docmost page with embedded Excel iframe on another machine or even in another browser window, the changes are gone.

    So, basically this is still a read-only view, or am I missing something?

    Google Sheets 100% supports (does) what you need with the new generic embed feature of Docmost (#1234 ).

    The case of OneDrive is exactly what you say, yes.

    Indeed, can confirm Google sheets with this hack works, nice!

    Google Sheets 100% supports (does) what you need.

    Let's say 90% 😄 I cannot edit a Google Sheet iframe on my phone, but only in the desktop browser
