 * I have connected Google sheets correctly and can see my files, but when I select
   the one I use I get “Your table is empty.” The table has data. I even uploaded
   the example file and selected that one and I get the same results. It has been
   over 2 hours since I set up the google connection.

 * Dear [@aunrea](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aunrea/),
 * Thank you for the topic.
 * Most presumably, the Google Sheets API is disabled.
   So, please head to the following
   link with the account to which you are connected:[https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/sheets.googleapis.com](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/sheets.googleapis.com)
 * There, check whether the API is enabled or not.
   If not, please **enable it**,
   wait for some minutes, and check whether the issue has been resolved or not.
 * **See the screenshot below:**

 * I saw enable drive in the instructions, but not enable sheets.
 * Also how do I get dates to show up as dates and not large decimal numbers?

 * Is there a way to only use some columns of a google sheet? I don’t want all the
   columns used on another chart.

 * Dear [@aunrea](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aunrea/),
 * Thank you for your response.
 * I want to mention, that your data must be of either the Text or Number type for
   this chart. 
   Most presumably, your data is of the Date type, due to which, the
   casting is done automatically and the plugin gets the cast number from Google.
 * So, we would recommend you** change the data type to text **and check the case
   again.

 * As to the following part:
   _<<Is there a way to only use some columns of a google
   sheet? I don’t want all the columns used on another chart._
 * I want to mention, that the plugin allows choosing the columns you want/don’t
   want to use.

 * I have the dates showing correctly. I did see the columns button and clicked 
   it. I can’t select any of the checkboxes. None are selected and they can’t be
   selected.
