Hi, I want (for my first - experimental - project) bind a simple GoogleSheet to my Weweb-project. No problem to bind, but it seems that the field-types are “converted” as string, even if they are formatted in the Google Sheet as dates or numbers. ![Afbeelding1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/d/d1f3c69d2df6759a38145eb86b3a443a0625ebc9.png) Also, when I tried to add a date-element to my Weweb-section, I can’t display it in the correct European format as Weweb thinks the first element is the month and the second the date (in my Google Sheet - record 2 has date 8-4-2025 which means 8th of April 2025, not 4th of August !! (I changed the format in Weweb (see at the right DD/MM/YYYY)) ![Afbeelding2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/f/fab411aff6c750e42c32afffe888bd1e5e179a09.png) So my questions: - how to change field types in Weweb to math Google Sheet-data - how let Weweb ‘read’ dates as European dates, not as English dates - how to set the language to Dutch, so I can get “maandag” in mstead of ‘Monday’ and “maart” instead of ‘March’ I’m still learning how to use Weweb, but can someone give me some little help if I want users give the possibility to change (edit) one of my fields. Like changing number value in one record from 77 to 99. Thanks! ---

Hi @WimDC 👋 Here’s a short video covering your use case to format dates in Dutch 🙂[Date Formatting 📅](https://www.tella.tv/video/date-formatting-doh4) I hope it helps! Regarding giving users of you app the possibility to edit the values of a field, you won’t have that option in WeWeb if you’re using Google Sheets as a data source. Our GS plugin is read-only. If you’d still like to give WeWeb a try but don’t want to look at more technical data sources like Xano or Supabase for now, I’d recommend testing with Airtable 🙂 ---

Hi Joyce, Thanks for the video and mentioning the limits of the GS-plugin. I want to switch from Glide to Weweb, so my current datasources are all GS with a lot of spreadsheet-formulas. I saw Baserow as an Airtable alternative (also with spreadsheet-like formulas) because Airtable has a limit of 1000 records in their free plan. Or NocoDB. (How) Can I use Baserow and NocoDB with Weweb (read/write/add)? Where can I find more help? Wim ---

Hi @WimDC 👋 Yes, you can. We don’t have native integrations with Baserow and NocoDB yet but I can put you in touch with a WeWeb user who has a lot of experience building apps with WeWeb and Baserow. He’ll be able to point you in the right direction when it comes to setting things up securely 🙂 I’ll send you his email address in a DM. ---

Hi @Joyce , Is it possible to use more than one Airtable-database in one WeWeb-project and can multiple Airtable-databases “linked” together with lookup-function or queries in their free plan? ---

Hi @WimDC 👋 I don’t know about Airtable’s pricing but it is possible to work with multiple airtable databases in a single weweb project. It is also possible to fetch data that is in a lookup in airtable or to use lookup formulas in weweb directly to lookup data that are in different Airtable tables. I would recommend watching this mini-course to learn the basics of a weweb / airtable combo: [https://academy.weweb.io/build-with-airtable/](https://academy.weweb.io/build-with-airtable/) ---

Hi @Joyce , I’m now using Airtable as datasource for my first Weweb-project where one of the fields is a date-field. But when fetching this field (and other fields) in Weweb, it is “converted” as a string. So it’s not possible to filter the records as I want only those records with a date \>= today. (Weweb only gives me conditions for strings, like “contains”, “starts with”, …) ![2025-05-17_205009](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/3/3dac0d0d390cf8e06c2c6276554c97eef28598c1.png) What am I doing wrong?
