Viewing URL from Google Sheets as Image – A Tip

Yes - there are likely some variations on the theme..

I guess the main points are:

  • When the App is created from Google Sheet data, which has a URL field then the field type will be (initially) set to URL

  • In order for a Card View to display a Picture it will only allow you to select an “Image” field type.

  • Changing the field type before/after creating the Card view will allow you to display a URL as a picture.

And that’s probably all I have to say about that. Thanks for all the comments/likes. I hope it helps someone.
