Q: Hey!

Thanks for coming to AppSumo!
One feature I'm looking for with your product (and the competitors for that matter) is the ability to pre-filter a Google Sheet based on custom meta.
Say I have a column in my sheet for UserID, can we have the table filter the sheet and display only rows with that have the logged in WP user's WPID?
Or if we have a WP post ID in a column, we can automatically filter the chart by the current page's post ID?
Custom Fields, other meta (email, etc) would be a killer feature. I know one of the competitors is working on this, I was wondering if you offered this feature or would put it on a shortterm roadmap.

A: Hello there!

You can use our placeholder %CURRENT_USER_ID% as a predefined filtering option for that column. So, when you link or import your Google Spreadsheet, you only add that as a predefined filtering option for the column, and the table will be filtered per the currently logged-in user's ID.

As for using other metas as filtering values - please open a new ticket on our official support platform, where we can help you out in more detail, and see if the plugin will actually suit your needs!

Best regards.
