 * Hi, Anyone could help.
 * I have tried to retrieve data from google sheet publish to website automatically.
   I used periodic auto publish plugin. The problems are:
 * 1. When I retrived data from publish to web (google sheet function) the header
   is gone. I tried manually edit, but when it is auto update. The plugin retrived
   data with empty header again (example in the first table in the link.)
    2. So
   I tried another one using google sheet link (instead of publish to web) to import
   data from table. They came with headers, but the header of google sheet column
   like A, B, C, etc.
 * Try many ways but it won’t work. Any recommendation for a newbie?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The “Publish to Web” function should be the best source.
    Does maybe adding a
   header row manually (as the first row of the table in Google Spreadsheets) help?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * I did try, but when the automatic updated is working, All data were replaced 
   with new one as well as header which appeared blank as shown in Table 1.

 * Hi,
 * what I mean:
    Add a new first row to your table that has the table header content.
   Your table currently starts with the table content in row 1, and it doesn’t actually
   have a table header.

 * It work now by hiding 1st row and name header in google sheet and function header
   still work since it used 2nd row as header. Thank you very much for ur support.
   
   Eventhough, the first row was counted as no 1 which is I don’t want. Anyway it
   is good enough.
 * Thank you for your support TobiasBG
