      Hi Ken Kim,

      You can add a search form in front of your table. This type of filtering is explained here:
      https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/data-tables-interactive-filters/search-form/

      This works for Data Projects as well.

      Hope this helps,
      Peter

    Hello,
    I have a Google Sheet with data that I would like to import into a Custom Post Type and periodically refresh with updates from the same source (weeky or monthly).
    Looking at the documentation I can see functionality exists to support google sheets and creating CPT, but I can’t tell if the two can be combined or whether it’s possible for the CPT created from the Google Sheets to be updated from the same source after the initial import?
    Thanks in advance,
    Joe
