Thanks! At some point I think we'll have an integration that allows data syncing to and/or from a spreadsheet like this.

The spreadsheet isn't ideal as the primary UI for a number of reasons. That's why we built our own UI, inspired by spreadsheets but fundamentally breaking from the model to be more like a relational database.

But a spreadsheet connection could be great for reporting, modeling scenarios, etc. – basically, all the things that spreadsheets are actually good for.

I've been shocked at the number of enterprises with workflows involving shared Excel docs (particularly in the eCommerce space). One of my (Magento) community members has a business which seems to tackle some of the issues around this: https://www.cobby.io/

Might be worth having a chat with him.
