Datagrid work around?

Hi,

What are people doing to work around the lack of grid in XD?  I understand it is in the requested features, but I need it yesterday.

 

I did try the "Tables for XD", but without the ability to import data it's not a solution.  However, I understand the import of data is coming.

 

I am currently building the datagrid completely manually and then editing each cell to update the data.  I was told today that there are going to be many data refreshes coming and need a better solution.

Thank you.

    I'm happy to announce that the import data feature is now available in Tables for XD Pro:

    Looks awesome.  As irony has it I am nearly finished the project that I started 6 months ago.  This is going to be a huge success Geoff!

    No, I have not.  I just watched the video.  I will be trying this out soon.

     

    It looks very promising!

     

    Thank you!

    Thought I'd post a quick follow-up for anyone else in the same boat.

     

    The Data Populator plugin is a game changer.  It provides the ability to import a significant amount of data quickly - a requirement with any enterprise project.   Using the plugin with the XD data repeater I have quickly built 50 plus record datagrids in minutes.

     

    Thank you Randy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
