When Sheetgo transfers data from a source to a destination, it will identify the following formats:

  • Numbers

  • Dates

Sheetgo will automatically parse and paste values into the destination sheet according to the format it recognizes. This setting allows you to automatically interpret and format raw data according to predefined rules. This tool is essential for converting unstructured data into a structured format that can be easily analyzed and integrated into your workflows.

Data transfer errors

In some circumstances, Sheetgo may incorrectly identify values as numbers, dates, or formulas.

This includes:

  • Phone numbers starting with +

  • Codes starting with 00

  • Codes that resemble dates

If numerical values are being pasted incorrectly into your destination sheet you can deactivate the Parse Data setting to paste values as raw data.

How to change the Parse Data setting?

  • Open the workflow that you want to edit and find the automation you need to turn off this feature.

  • On the Destination go to Advanced Settings, where you can find the Parse Data option.

  • Uncheck the box labeled Convert text to numbers, dates, and formulas.

Sheetgo will now paste values into your destination sheet as raw data every time the connection is updated.
