Trouble getting data from deep nested array

[Mike_Hughes]

Total make newby here so if this was answered somewhere please just send me in that direction.I have a webhook running that brings me all the data I want to export but when I go to move it into google sheets the 3 main pieces of data do not move over.

You can see here there’s a section for protein, fats and carbs but when I connect google sheets only the fats data shows up

I am not looking to map anything fance just taking the raw data and getting it into a simple google sheets table

Here is the scenario. Im assuming I need to use an iterator or set variables but I’m struggling to map it all to pull out the info I would need.

Welcome to the Make community!

Yes, that is possible. You’ll need a minimum of two modules:

1. Iterate any metric’s data array

2. Use map and get functions to map each date’s data

Give it a go and let us know if you have any issues!

Module Export

You can copy and paste this module export into your scenario. This will paste the modules shown in my screenshots above.

1. Copy the JSON code below by clicking the copy button when you mouseover the top-right of the code block
   

2. Enter your scenario editor. Press ESC to close any dialogs. Press CTRLV (paste keyboard shortcut for Windows) to paste directly in the canvas.

3. Click on each imported module and save it for validation. You may be prompted to remap some variables and connections.

you are a life saver!! Thank you so much, this works for each day that gets input.

Do you suggest having the data come through in json text? My only concern is if it try to send multiple days of data it will enter both quantities into one cell. Ex: I send 6/26 and 6/27 data the protein cell would should " 171, 182".

If I have the json text come through would that allow the data to create two separate cells or should I only pull 1 day of data at a time?

Do you suggest having the data come through in json text?

I don’t know where you mean or got this idea from.

Just send the data as you have provided in the example above.
