    <p>I have two spreadsheets of data saved in separate Google spreadsheets, Stores and Products. </p> <p>Stores has columns for:</p> <ul> <li>Store name </li> <li>Store location</li> <li>Store ID</li> </ul> <p>Products has columns for:</p> <ul> <li>Product name </li> <li>Product cost </li> <li>Product ID </li> <li>Store ID</li> </ul> <p>In Rails, I have two models - <strong>Store</strong> and <strong>Product</strong> - connected with a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship. The models have attributes matching each of the columns in the spreadsheets.</p> <p>I'm looking to create a rake task that takes the spreadsheets as CSV files and creates linked rows in the Stores and Products databases, but being a coding newbie I'm finding it difficult. Adding data to one table from a .csv seems easy enough, but how can I use the matching "Product ID" column to link the data in the two csv files?</p>

    1. COI should also add that the list above looks like a one-to-many relationship rather than HABTM. However, I'll be adding associations later so that each Store has multiple Products.

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.
