Spreadsheet Link in Nodlin

The Spreadsheet Link node type integrates spreadsheets directly with Nodlin. Attach a spreadsheet, extract named cells or ranges, and any changes propagate through your graph in real-time โ€” powered by integrated OnlyOffice for online editing.

How It Works

  • Attach a spreadsheet to a Spreadsheet node (any file can be attached to any node in Nodlin)
  • Define named cells or ranges in your spreadsheet
  • The node extracts these values and makes them available as data in Nodlin processing
  • Edit spreadsheets online via integrated OnlyOffice โ€” multi-user editing in real-time
  • When a user saves changes, named cell values are read and Nodlin propagates updates instantly

Key Features

  • Named Cell Extraction ๐Ÿ“Š โ€” Reference specific cells or ranges from complex spreadsheets
  • Real-time Propagation โšก โ€” Spreadsheet changes flow through the graph immediately
  • OnlyOffice Integration ๐Ÿ“ โ€” Edit spreadsheets, documents and presentations online with multi-user support
  • Budget Collation ๐Ÿ’ฐ โ€” Collate detail across many users and groups (e.g. departmental budget exercises reviewed centrally in Nodlin)

Use Cases

  • Finance teams managing complex budget spreadsheets while surfacing key metrics in Nodlin
  • Cross-departmental data collation where many groups contribute via spreadsheets
  • Bridging legacy spreadsheet workflows with real-time graph-based analysis
