    Hi,

    Thanks for your great plugin.

    I wanted to use your automatic import extension to update my table from a Google sheet, but none of the formats available are not working correctly. My preferred format would be .CSV, but there is html code and commas in the cells, so it’s not parsed correctly.

    So I’m wondering if you could add the import format .TSV (tabulated CSV file) to the automatic import extension. That way, it would be easy for TablePress to find the exact content of each cell.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Technically, TSV is already supported, as this is just a CSV file with the tab as a delimiter.

    Here, the problem is likely something else: When importing from Google, it is very important to use the correct URL. You must use the URL that directly leads to the publicly available CSV file. It must be a sharing URL that does not require a log in.

    Regards,
    Tobias
