Still have a problem with google sheets. When I start to create a new data source with google sheets, I am asked to log in with my google account. Then a pop up window shows, but only for a very very short moment. Trying to log in again, the same. After the third attempt to login, an error is shown.  
I tried it on Safari, Opera and Chrome on Mac OS and iPad. Always the same problem.

Hey @rollke

I think it’s best to create a dedicated topic for this so that it doesn’t get lost in the announcement topic.

Firstly:

> [@rollke](#):
>
> After the third attempt to login, an error is shown.

Can you tell us, or do you have a screenshot of, the error message please?

* * *

> [@rollke](#):
>
> Then a pop up window shows

Do you have a pop-up blocker?

* * *

> [@rollke](#):
>
> Always the same problem.

Have you tried doing a [hard refresh](https://intercom.help/thunkable/en/articles/3630719-how-to-hard-refresh-your-browser) to make sure you’re on the latest version of Thunkable?

Still can’t select a table.

When I click selected table drop down it says…Pick a data source first to fill in the data! I have a personal Gmail, hard refresh, cleared my cache, deleted all sources, deleted/removed and re added component… This feature would be a big help for me and i’m itching to use it but I cant : (

I try to connect to a regular google mail address  
[xxx@gmail.com](mailto:xxx@gmail.com)

But the main problem for me is: The dialog for login to my google account appears and does not let me log in.  
When I click on „Anmelden“ (log in) then a windows plops up very short and disappears. I can do that twice, then the error report comes.

Is someone in the community who is able to connect to a google sheet. And if yes, how?

The dialog for adding a google sheet now changed.  
There is a new button „select a sheet“.  
That is nice, but the problem to sign in to google after pressing that button ist still the same.  
It is not possible to sign in. See older posts.

@rollke are you using a new project for this or are you trying to load the data into an existing project?

</div>

I did it with existing project, with empty project without any element (only try to add a source) and with new project only with a data viewer element. Tried several browsers on Mac and Ios. Always the same.

The „point of problem“ is the dialog after the add/googlesheet/select a sheet dialog.

When the dialog to sign in to my google account lets me select the „sign in button“ appears, then the appropriate dialog pops up and immediately disappears.

I was able to log in to Google Table from a different account.

1. Log in to your Google MyAccount account and select the option - “Log out of all accounts”
2. in the same browser, open Thunkable X with your YouAccount account
3. In the same browser, log in to your Google Drive YouAccount account
4. in the Thunkable X app, try connecting to the table.

After completing these steps, everything works fine for me
