How do I embed this to my Google Sites without a set height? This adds a scroll bar that I don't want. I have tried embedding in an iframe gadget and in the Awesome Table gadget as mentioned above and they both require a height (which can't be auto or 100%).
Thanks
Hello Sshellhammer,
It is definitely possible to change the width of your Awesome Table view when you embed it in a Classic Google Site. You just need to choose the width in the settings (see the screenshot below).
Kind regards.

Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your quick reply, although this does not solve my problem. It is the height that I want to change, not the width. I would like to put a height auto or no height at all, but the only option seems to be a set pixel height.
Hello Sshellhammer,
Sorry, I misunderstood your question. Indeed, it is a limitation of Classic Google Site and you can't apply an auto height.
So, I suggest you limit the number of items displayed in your view (see the screenshot below) and apply the correct height in pixels.
Thank you for your understanding.

I have put my tables and maps on google site, but when I share the site with other users they can not see the information.
Hello Alejandro,
Can you confirm that you have given access to the source spreadsheet to these people?
Does this only work on classic sites? I'd love to use this on a new google site if possible.
