The word "spreadsheet" elicits a mixed reaction from many people in the AEC space. Spreadsheets are the root of alot of pain. They can also be an invaluable tool when passing information between organizations or internal teams where our software tools can't talk to eachother.
The problem is, spreadsheets tend to contain dead data. They were created at a set moment in time from an export function or copy & pasting data. As data in your source of truth changes, the spreadsheet does not.
That means that person you are collaborating with is working on outdated information. It may even be outdated by the time that you've emailed it to the them.
Live data is always better. While Layer offers direct Shared Views, sometimes you still need the spreadsheet. If you're already asking how, I invite you to join me for Layer Quick Bytes this week! I'll show you how to create a living spreadsheet that is updated by the Layer API.
