Hey @junior. Welcome to the forum + thanks for the question.

@junior

Is there a way to import data(json, csv, etc.) from URL to a Collabora Calc for Android?

Hmmm… I’m not sure.

• What are you trying to do exactly?
• Can you link to an example of data you wanted to import?
• Do you know how to do what you want on the desktop/other tools?
• Are you getting any errors right now?
  • What formulas are you using?
  • Do you have a sample spreadsheet?

According to this thread:

• Link to External Data menu missing in Calc

there is a:

• WEBSERVICE function
  • See LibreOffice 7.6 Help for:
    • URI Functions > WEBSERVICE

which can pull data from a site and shove it into a cell.

Back in 2021, there was similar discussion:

• Link to External Data menu missing in Calc

but they mentioned it only worked FIRST open, then didn’t work/update on subsequent openings.

Unsure if anything changed since 2021 or how this specific thing works in the Android/app version.
