Question 1

How often will the app pull in updates from the spreadsheet?

Accepted Answer

The app will auto-refresh and pull in new updates every five minutes.

Question 2

How many results does it fetch (e.g. maximum number of content/posts)?

Accepted Answer

The app currently only supports displaying a single worksheet from a single Excel file. However, the range of data fetched from the sheet is fully customizable. You can display all used cells, or pick a smaller subset via the app configuration for “Cell Range”.

Question 3

Can the app support charts, graphs, or any advanced formatting (e.g. colored cells)?

Accepted Answer

Currently, the app doesn’t support charts, graphs, or advanced formatting. If you need to display charts, consider using ScreenCloud’s PowerBI app instead to build dashboards from your spreadsheets, or check our Chart.js for signage tutorial to pull data from your spreadsheets and turn it into graphs or charts for your signage.

Question 4

How are the results ordered?

Accepted Answer

The Microsoft Excel app displays rows and columns in the same order as they are in the worksheet.

Question 5

Can I select multiple Excel sheet tabs to display and cycle through the app?

Accepted Answer

Each app instance only displays a single sheet tab. However, you can add as many instances of the app as you’d like and select different sheet tabs to display for digital signage, thus showing your whole spreadsheet. For example, you can set your Excel Sheet apps connected to one document in it's own ScreenCloud Playlist.
