How to turn ready-made spreadsheets into complete apps with table, form, and Kanban
Turning ready-made spreadsheets into complete apps with table, form, and Kanban means importing the data that already exists in a spreadsheet and, from it, automatically generating different ways to view and work with that information, without starting the structure from scratch.
Companies that already have years of data organized in spreadsheets face a dilemma: migrating to a new system usually means wasting time manually recreating everything, which makes a lot of people give up and stay stuck with the spreadsheet, even knowing its limitations.
What companies are trying to solve:
- Reuse data that already exists in a spreadsheet, without re-typing everything.
- Get, from the same data source, a table, form, and Kanban view.
- Track the operation via dashboard without losing control of the company.
- Avoid the rework of recreating the data structure from scratch.
| Automatically generated view | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Table | View all the data imported from the spreadsheet |
| Form | Create new entries from the same structure |
| Kanban | Track progress in card form |
| Dashboard | Keep overall control of the operation |
