draw.io can fill diagram shapes from a Google Sheet
By Steven Van ·
Data sources need a link-shared Google Sheet and are refreshed by hand, and the desktop app cannot load them.
Shape data in draw.io can now come from a Google Sheet, with data sources added on October 27.
How it works
A link-shared Google Sheet is pasted in from Page Setup. After picking the columns to use, each shape receives the data from one row of the sheet.
Limits
- Refresh is manual. Changes made in the sheet do not update the diagram on their own.
- The desktop app cannot load data sources.
