How to import names from Google Sheets

Paste the column, or export a CSV.

The fast way: paste it

  1. In Google Sheets, select the column of names — including the header if it has one.
  2. Copy.
  3. Paste into the names box on Spinnza.

A single column lands straight on the wheel. If you copied more than one column, the paste opens the same column picker a file import uses, so you can choose which one holds the names and which holds bonus entries.

The tidy way: export a CSV

  1. File → Download → Comma Separated Values (.csv).
  2. Drag the file onto the import area, or press Import list.
  3. Choose the name column, check the preview, and import.

Things that trip people up

  • Sheets exports every visible column. Pick the right one rather than deleting columns first.
  • A column of numbers loses leading zeros in any spreadsheet. If your usernames look like 0012345, format that column as plain text before exporting.
  • Blank rows are counted and skipped, and you are told how many.

The file is read in your browser. Nothing about the sheet is uploaded.
