ImportExport

Bring existing data into Waymaker Sheets from Excel or CSV files, and export your sheets for use in other tools.

Importing data

From CSV

  1. Open a sheet (or create a new one)
  2. Click the Import button in the toolbar
  3. Select CSV
  4. Choose your CSV file
  5. Preview the import — Waymaker maps CSV columns to sheet columns
  6. Adjust column mappings if needed
  7. Click Import

The data is added to your sheet. If the sheet already has data, imported rows are appended below existing rows.

From Excel

  1. Click Import in the toolbar
  2. Select Excel (.xlsx)
  3. Choose your Excel file
  4. If the file has multiple worksheets, select which one to import
  5. Preview and adjust column mappings
  6. Click Import

Import tips

  • Headers: The first row of your CSV/Excel file should contain column names. Waymaker uses these to match columns.
  • Data types: Waymaker attempts to detect column types (number, date, text) automatically. Review the preview to confirm.
  • Large files: Files up to 10,000 rows import smoothly. For larger datasets, consider splitting into multiple imports.
  • Encoding: CSV files should use UTF-8 encoding. If you see garbled characters, re-export your CSV as UTF-8.
