Q: Can Column pull Data from Website to create Graphs

A: Not sure what type of data you want to pull from website, if you have API, yes, Columns have HTTP API connector to sync with your data to create graphs.
IF you are talking about arbitrary text, you can take a look at a free chrome extension provided by Columns team: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/magic-vizion/hfgfkpoildikklbmjnkedmapiopeacga

Is it possible to populate and/or transform data on Google/Excel sheets?
Thanks!

A: Thanks for your question. Columns does not support combo chart (like mixed bar + line)
However, you can have multiple Y-axis for more than one metric. for example, if you have two metrics "total count" and "total sales", they are not in he same unit, you can set the first or the second metric to right Axis so they have their own axis scale. But they will be presented as bars or lines only in...
Having different graph types (i.e. bar plus lines) is more readable and presentable. Is this something you have on the roadmap? I ask because this is widely used
