    <p>Not sure you have to use the cache feature to get a fast result... I made such a script that works pretty well, I use variants of it all the time ;-) you can test it on <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnqSFd3iikE3dENrU0hldDNLeF9lUjUteDNyWlJkY2c" rel="nofollow">this test sheet</a></p> <p>here is how it works, the script is maybe quite long but look only at the handler part (click)</p> <p>On other version I read the spreadsheet outside of the function so the array of data becomes a global variable and mostly to limit the number of spreadsheet calls (it can hit the quota limit in this version sometimes)</p> <pre><code>// G.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
