This is cool stuff. Game changing if you are using variants.

Awesome video. I am subscribed and I did check the like video. I have a few questions? Can we go back and change the setup of the configuration table. later on in the video you said you can have as many entries as we want. I assume that is what you would call them. I did add another entry, an M14 and the Data configuration let me change to the new numbers I had put in the table. Is the configuration table automatically adding to the original A2 to D4 to make them A2 to D5 or can the numbers go out of the scope. Lets say that I wanted to have a table with screws. I would want to keep them separate from the nut category and I could even have a bolt category should we keep them on the same spreadsheet or make a new one? I just have to know how things work because of my OCD. You have given a informative and awesome video and I appreciate the hard work and time you have put into making this video. Thank you and God Bless.

I would keep it all in the same spreadsheet in different sections, you can create large tables with different variants.
Thanks for subscribing, I hope you will enjoy all the videos in the series.

Interesting, more to learn every day.
I am curious when you were selecting spreadsheet data, it showed two (Spreadsheet) and () I have always used the second one, is there a difference?

[@Ub3rMario]

I believe one is the label/name you can change, one is the name the system gives it that can't be changed.

[@Adventuresincreation]

The is a changeable label, for instance, if you rename the spreadsheet to "box" the label will be but the system generated name is still Spreadsheet. The system will automatically create those names, a second spreadsheet will be call Spreadsheet001 etc.
