Click the + symbol next to Data Sources and add your Google Sheet. Once you do that, you will have the Data Sources “drawer” in the list of blocks in the Blocks tab.

You cannot change the Data Source by code. The source you select at design time is the only source that will be available to the DVL (Data Viewer List).

You can use the when clicked block for that:
> **[Data Viewer List](https://docs.thunkable.com/data-viewer-list#click)**
>
> Create powerful, no-code, data-driven apps connected directly to Google Sheets, Airtable, or stored locally.
The green row id block corresponds to a row in your data source.

You **cannot** change the `Data Source` of the DVL by code

You would have to create a separate DVL for each data source. It’s better to figure out a way to use a single data source to store all the data you need.

> Airtable is …a great way to store data, especially data that includes photos like student photos and names for a student directory app. Data Viewer Lists/Grids (DVL/Gs) are a great way to display data from an external source such as Airtable.
>
> So what's the problem? DVL/Gs sync up to Airtable but can only connect to one base with one custom view (optionally) at a time. So if you want to have separate screens or layouts in Thunkable, you have to have multiple DVL/G components and show/hide them constantly to show different data. An example of this might be to show a 3rd grade class OR a 4th grade class within a single screen based on a button click.

> \*\*Describe the solution you'd like\*\*
> I'd like to have the ability to switch Airtable bases and custom views for a DVL/G using blocks. I know this is a big ask based on the way the blocks are structured with drop-down menus but it would make Thunkable so much more flexible and powerful for connecting to data sources.
