@shubham-maurya thanks for the feature request. IIRC, you're looking for a new method to add a sheet within an existing spreadsheet?
Hi @Nikhil-Nandagopal, yes thats right
Another use case is to have a sheet for every new month to collect data separately. E.g. collecting your spendings per month. At the moment you have either to use a generic name (spendings) and copy it an every month to a separate sheet and empty the spendings sheet. Alternatively you can change the sheet name in the Query. Both is really annoying and a source for faults.
I have found a workaround:
You can now either run the API on each page load or on call.
Summary
Ability to dynamically create a new sheet (name based on input fields) and insert data into that specific sheet, in Google Sheets
Motivation
This is useful when there is one topic (therefore all the data should sit in 1 spreadsheet), but there are logically distinct sub topics / different consumers of that information. Instead of creating a new spreadsheet for each of these (which is what is currently possible via Appsmith using the Create New Spreadsheet function), it'd be great to be able to just create sheets in the same spreadsheet. An example in the SAAS world is when as a PM, I need to share the same type of data (say, top users of the app) split out by account - so that i can ask the CS team to do the appropriate follow up in their personal sheets, instead of creating an 'account' column
Additional Context
I've previously done this with the Gspread python API - i've used this to great effect across a variety of applications.
