Learn about the various configuration options available when creating text widgets from your spreadsheet data.

Updated this week

This guide walks you through the various configuration options available when creating text widgets from your spreadsheet data.

Select data for your text widget

Click and drag to select the spreadsheet cells you want to visualize. You can also select entire rows and columns or enter the data range into the field. Text widgets require at least one date or string column.

Text visualization options

If you select a column or multiple cells, you can either select Only show last message to display the last cell in your selection.

For example, if cells A1:A10 are selected, only the message in the cell A10 will be displayed.

Or select Loop through messages to display the text content of up to 5 cells in a 10-second loop.

For example, if cells A1:A10 are selected, the messages in cells A6:A10 will be displayed. If you have a column title included in your cell selection, you can toggle the switch to Ignore the first selected cell.
