Hi Kevin thanks for contributing to the Lucid Community! Just to make sure that we are on the same page please review our data linking article from the Lucidchart Help Center and let me know if you have any questions about the intended functionality.

Once you connect your spreadsheet to your Lucidchart document you can drag and drop individual rows onto the canvas to generate a shape that is linked to the data from that row of your spreadsheet. Please review this helpful example of Data Linking for a demonstration of the feature in action and let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

Thanks for that information Richard.

It's not quite like that but similar.

We would love to take data from a Google Sheets file maybe rope several columns/rows and paste them into Lucid.  We don't necessarily want to link them to flow boxes etc. but we would love to paste them in and be able to explode the Chart that is now in our LucidChart file and drag and drop those individual cells onto points in our file. (this is floor plan drawing PDF that we use as an underlay that has store fixtures)  We would love to drag the individual cell data (Planograms for setting the store) onto each portion of the store fixtures.

Is that possible with the extensive data linking process?
