You question is difficult. I have a table in an app of mine that accepts data from a publicly shared Google sheet. However, I know the format of this spreadsheet and so I can bring it into my app.

If you can pull the data into a Google spreadsheet, and if you know in advance which columns will hold what kind of data, then, I think you can pull it into your app.

Does anyone know if there are sample apps that show how to do this?

In regard to how to do this on Google Sheets, this might help:

What would a “non - database feild” be?

thanks @Steve for answering…

an non-database field would be an field that could only be used to calculation or put data into it and hide it from front end that could be later on used in application for its stored values…
