Squarespace builder always complain a lot about table on the platform, it’s simply not supported! Therefore site owner always looking for the best way to display table on the site
“…I too am desperate for an easy to use table block!…” – Upside
“…We need tables. I’ve been begging for them for literally years but my requests must go into the pile that no-one actions….” – paul2009
“…It’s no good having an easy to use CMS if you’ve got to go into HMTL or CSS to update a table…” – Scoobie
Tables – what tool are you using? – Page 3 – Third Party Tools – Squarespace Forum
This was the case of Brian when he moved from WordPress to Squarespace, his project as follow
I don’t know how to explain this other than to link to an example:
Need a search function (for excel sheets) on a Squarespace site | WordPress | PHP | HTML | Website Design | Excel | Freelancer
[login to view URL]
The search function on the page above is pulling the data from an Excel sheet uploaded on the backend. That’s on a wordpress site. I need someone to replicate this on a Squarespace site. (If it’s possible.)
What is the requirements
The table should be filterable, support pagination and being responsive, that is when I thought about datatables plugin
- Use datatables to display the table on the page
- Inject the snippet as custom code
- The dataset will be manage via Google Sheets, user can be easily update the spreadsheet to change the table content

Final output
After some revisions, we decided to add those things to the current plugin:
- The theme he used support ajax, therefore the table will be collapsed when switch page, so I suggested to use observer pattern to listen for DOM changes to make it working properly
- We switched from the html export to csv export, from Google Sheets publish settings
