The Create a sheet step lets you type or paste data directly into Parabola. It’s best for small datasets — lookup tables, manual mappings, or additional rows you want to append to a larger dataset. The step is capped at 100 rows and 100 columns.

​
Creating a sheet of data

Type values into the cells, or copy-paste from an existing spreadsheet. The sheet starts with 100 rows and 10 columns. More columns are added automatically when you paste in wider data, or you can add them manually with the + Column button. Highlight rows, columns, or cells to edit or delete them. Click Clear sheet to wipe everything including the headers. Updates aren’t shared with downstream steps until you click Save this sheet.

Tips

  • Max 100 rows and 100 columns
  • The first row is treated as column headers by downstream steps
  • Sheets accept raw data only — no formulas or formatting
  • Combine tables — to join the manual sheet against a larger dataset (great for SKU mappings, account lookups)
  • Stack tables — to append the manual rows onto another dataset
  • Use sample data — when you want pre-built sample data instead of typing your own
