Very hard to use, Tech support is hard to understand
Avoid if you are not very technical. I am technical and still can't understand how to use this. Also, I see a security vulnerability in Wordfence. So please use caution if you go with this.

Hi there, and thank you for sharing your feedback.
Our support team, along with our plugin and documentation, strives to be as thorough as possible. Over the past decade, we’ve developed a wide range of features and functionalities, ensuring the plugin remains versatile and powerful. Our documentation is designed to cover every detail, and our support team works diligently to address all...
While the overall setup looks promising, the plugin doesn´t work for me. I can´t just copy paste fields from a table into a new table and make a chart out of it. There is a manual table creation method, that allows for pasting fields when I define the number of columns and rows, but this way, I can´t make a chart out of it.
Also, the upload function didn´t work for me. I guess, the data needs to be prepared in order to be readible by the program.
As a consequence, couldn´t even really start.
I´ll be happy to adjust my review, if there will be updates for correcting this.
A few months ago, I was looking for a method to simplify the process of updating the food menu on a client's website. I tried dozens of scripts and plugins, but WPDataTables was the one that stood out and gave me what I was looking for.
Adding the WPDataTables plugin to the client's website has realized many benefits for both me and my client:
I no longer have to make time to update the food menu prices for the client. The client can now easily add prices to a Google Sheet whenever she likes. The updated prices appear almost instantly on the website. The menu can now be easily downloaded from the website. The client does not have to send the menu to the local print shop anymore. The client is saving money on the cost of printing. The client's customers always have the latest prices when they order food from the website. Using WPDataTables has proven to be a very good choice for both the client and me because the process of updating the website is now semi-automated. I am looking at other ways in which I can make use of Google Sheets and WPDataTables to automate more tasks that are time-consuming and slow for both me and all my clients.
While the actual wpdatatables product itself isn't bad, whether or not it's what you will want is hard to say. If you want advanced filtering, or the master details addon (or indeed any addon) you're going to need a somewhat ludicrous SEVEN codes.
Despite this, I was just about wondering if the deal was worth keeping - but then I found that it doubled the number of requests to pages that had a wpdatatable, so I refunded. Given how important speed is to SEO, and has been for a long time now, absolutely nothing makes it onto our sites that unless it brings clear benefits worth the (speed/financial) costs. This definitely isn't it for us. Refunded, though I would have kept it if addons were included for a more reasonable number of codes.
Thanks to the recent google helpful content update, I've been looking for ways to make my articles more useful and trustworthy for readers. That means better data presented clearly, and tables and charts are one of the best ways to achieve that. I was already a user of the free version of wpDataTables which has already improved my posts. Being an established plugin, I never thought that the premium version would appear on Appsumo again, so took a double-take when it popped up last week. It's my fastest Appsumo purchase ever and the sortable tables are worth the price alone. I'm also looking forward to using the amazing selection of charts. Thanks for bringing this one back :-)

Feels like an upsell in disguise
While the actual wpdatatables product itself isn't bad, whether or not it's what you will want is hard to say. If you want advanced filtering, or the master details addon (or indeed any addon) you're going to need a somewhat ludicrous SEVEN codes.
