🧱Add, rename, and reorder columns
The sport preset is a starting point, not a format. Standings, schedule and statistics each have their own column set, and each is edited the same way — through the Edit columns panel above the table.
Step by step
- 1
Open Edit columns
Go to the tab whose table you want to change — Standings, Schedule or Statistics — and press Edit columns. The panel lists every column in that table in the order it appears.
- 2
Add or rename
Add a column and give it a label. The label is what shows in the header on your page and on your share link, and you can change it whenever you like without disturbing the numbers underneath.
- 3
Pick a type
Standings and statistics columns are number or text. Schedule columns add date and time, because a schedule is mostly when and where. The type decides what the cell accepts, how it sorts, and whether the column can be used in a formula or take an addition — only number columns can do either.
- 4
Reorder
Move a column up or down to change where it sits in the table. Left-to-right order on the page follows the order in this panel.
- 5
Save
Close the panel and press Save. Column changes are part of the same save as your data.
What each type is for
| Type | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Number | Wins, goals, points, minutes — anything you count, total, or sort numerically. The only type formulas can read and the only type Add to totals works on. |
| Text | Team names, venues, divisions, notes. On the schedule, a text column with more than one distinct value automatically becomes a filter dropdown on your share page. |
| Date (schedule only) | Game dates. Sorts chronologically rather than alphabetically, which a text column would not. |
| Time (schedule only) | Face-off and first-pitch times. |
Where computed columns are available
Standings and statistics columns can be computed — worked out from the other columns in the same row. Schedule columns cannot: a schedule row is a fixture, not a set of totals, and there is nothing there for a formula to add up.
Deleting a column
Deleting a column removes its values from every row, and that cannot be undone from the editor. If you might want the numbers later, download a CSV first — the Download CSV button at the top of the editor exports whatever the tables currently hold, on every plan.
If you delete a column that a formula refers to, the formula does not error. The missing column reads as 0, and the computed column quietly starts producing wrong answers. Check your computed columns after deleting anything.
Statistics tables are named differently
The statistics table has a row label you choose — Player, Goalie, Team, Golfer, or anything else. It sets the header on the name column and the wording of the button that adds a row. Change it under Settings, in Statistics row label.
Common questions
- Will renaming a column lose my data?
- No. Renaming changes the header only; the values stay attached to the column. Deleting is the destructive one.
- How many columns can I have?
- There is no limit, but the share page is read on phones. Past about eight columns a standings table starts scrolling sideways, and the columns nobody sorts on are the ones to cut.
- Can the standings and statistics tables have different columns?
- Yes — they are separate tables with separate column sets, and the schedule has a third. Editing one does not touch the others.
