In a single workspace, you can build as many graphs as you wished, you can set schedule to update each graph and organize them in deck of slides.
Columns was not designed for build dashboards, that function is limited, may not meet your need. Also its AI chat is to help you understand the data and build good visualization rather than creating dashboards.
A: Unfortunately Columns only read the first Sheet upon a new connection.
You will need to move Sheet2 to the first tab to make it accessible. At some point, we will fix this issue by introducing sheet selection in connection step.
Thanks Shawn. It solved that issue at the moment. But I want to add more sheets into 1 Google sheet because I want to have more "formula" to calculate and placed in different sheets (tabs). If you can add features where we can choose multiple or/and selected sheets for visualization and analysis, it would be great and helpful.
Though we plan to add feature to allow user choose which sheet to target in a Gsheet connection, it is unlikely we will allow multiple sheets into one data source connection, because it is headache when multiple sheets do not have a consistent data schema to enable reasonable data analysis.
Q: Free trial
I would like to buy this lifetime license on appsumo but would like to try it first. Does the free trial available on website, include all features as included in this appsumo deal? If so, how many days is the trial?
Hello, can I use this tool to generate a chart based on information received through a form/ webhook. Then, I can return the generated image as a file via integration. I'm asking because I have a form that produces a result, and it would be great to customize the response with a personalized radar chart.
No matter you use form or web hook, you can connect those sources using exiting connectors (gsheet, http api), they are live connections, so basically connect once, refresh every time you use it.
Columns also has existing api to return graph image to you, please check out its API page, example code included already.
Let me know if this answers all your questions. More...
Q: Feature to split Google Sheet into several tables and graphs
If i have 10 google forms that linked to 1 google sheet (let say 200 different data in the google sheet now), does instacharts have feature to custom split that 1 google sheet to create 10 different tables and graphs (each table and graph has 20 data) ?
if yes, 1. Can all the 10 tables and graphs be placed in 1 page (1 instacharts page) 2. Can all the 10 tables and graphs be placed in 10 different pages (10 instacharts pages)
A: Seems Instacharts is another product, did you post the question in the wrong place?
If not, the answers to your questions are yes, you can use filter to create individual graphs/tables for each form, make sure you have identifier field to filter for each form, and you can place any graph in one Columns page.
as long as you have a field to identify what form a record is from, you can use a filter/condition to filter the data that belong to a specific form to build the graph, and then you can duplicate the graph 10 times, change the filter for each graph to have 10 different result (graph/table) to be placed in a single page.
Awesome. That means, we can add a filter to create 10 different tables or graphs from that 1 Google Sheet.
But to display those 10 tables and graphs, can we optionally choose to display those 10 different tables and graphs into either: a) 1 page (1 url) , OR b) 10 different pages (10 different URLs) ?
Q: Dashboard and AI Agent
1. Can we implement various dashboards on a single workspace
2. AI Agent creating custom dashboards at the front end
See this link it has both functions

My bad, i was asking the same question becoz are similar.
But my question: When we insert 1 Google Sheet (as a data source) , can Columns Ai split & customize that 1 Ggl Sheet into 10 graphs & tables?
For example, that 1 Sheet has 200 data:
20 electric
20 civil
20 mech
20 electronic
20 medic
20 equipmnt
20 HVAC
20 hrdware
20 software
20 land
Can Columns create 10 diff graphs & tables as above
yes, that's exactly what I commented.
as long as you have a field to identify what form a record is from, you can use a filter/condition to filter the data that belong to a specific form to build the graph, and then you can duplicate the graph 10 times, change the filter for each graph to have 10 different result (graph/table) to be placed in a single page.

a) 1 page (1 url) , OR
b) 10 different pages (10 different URLs) ?
the smallest unit is a graph/table on Columns which is called a story.
You can put as many stories on a page as you wished.
Similarly, one Google sheet is one data source, you can create as many stories as possible from one data source.
