    <p>I have a function which makes two rest calls to the google spreadsheetAPI. I use a $.when to make sure that the data fron thefirst call is process before dealing with the data from the second call.</p> <p>The problem is that the first ajax handler(getRealNames), receives a javascript object as its argument, but the second handler(displayTeams), receives an array, the 0th element is the object I was expecting to get.</p> <p>Why does one get an object and the other get an array? They are calling the same rest api. The array did not appear until I refactored the code to use deferreds instead of callback nesting. So I think this is a jquery question rather than a spreadsheetAPI question.</p> <p>(see screen shot below, I've console.log'ed the arguments received by both handlers </p> <pre><code>//this is the function generating the REST requests, I just put it in for completeness function getWorkSheet(doc_key,sheet){ return $.get('https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/'+ doc_key+'/'+sheet+ '/private/full?alt=json&amp;access_token=' + googleAPItoken) .fail(function(){ alert("failed to get google doc:"+doc_key+" ,sheet: "+sheet); }); } function getRWMTeams() { var nameQuery=getWorkSheet(doc_key,1); nameQuery.done(getRealNames); var repoQuery=getWorkSheet(doc_key,2); //the deferred:'namesProcessed' is resolved in getRealNames $.when(repoQuery,namesProcessed) .done(displayTeams); } </code></pre> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/uvD2M.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

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.
