Copy data from table, paste as sticky notes

Love it! It would be even more intutitive if it presented as an option on a regular paste.

@Lou Absolutely, that’s great feedback. Thank you for taking the time to post this question! Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to support your work.

@Micah Thanks for this great solution.  Is it possible to add conditions based on filters in an Excel spreadsheet? I’m creating user stories as sticky notes and have a column showing user type, e.g. as a manager, as an employee, admin etc (5 options) and would like the sticky note colour to default based on the data in that column.  Is this possible or is it easier to copy it all into Lucid and then adjust each sticky note manually? (153 notes).  Thanks in advance for your help. 

Hi @deb.gyde, yes, this is possible! To do this, you’ll need to use Lucidchart’s conditional formatting tool (which you can do after copying/pasting your table’s data into Lucidspark as described above). This Add conditional formatting n Lucidchart article describes in detail how to  create rules that will apply styles like this, but essentially you’ll build one that says IF the text of my sticky note contains a certain user type (e.g. “manager”), THEN apply the color of your choice (e.g. blue). You’ll set up a rule like this for each of your five user types. 

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have additional questions. 

That you @Micah - that’s very helpful. 🙂
