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.

Have you seen the Data Populator plugin?

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
