Need Help with Table Size After Adding Exclusions in Data Source

Hi, I added additional exclusions to my source and updated my table but the new exclusions do not make my table smaller, my table remains the same size. Could I have some help with this?

When you add exclusions to your source, it doesn't automatically remove existing data from your table. To update your table with the new exclusions: 1. Modify your source configuration: • Click on the Source Column in your table • Select "Sources" from the menu • Click on the source you modified • Click "Edit source" • Review your updated exclusions • Click "Submit" to save changes and re-run the source 2. Enable auto-update for your table: • Open your table settings dropdown • Select "Enable Auto-update" • This will automatically run all columns when rows are added or edited After these steps, your table should reflect the new exclusions. If issues persist, you may need to manually refresh or re-run the table.

for example, excluding "telecommunications" should have removed 20 entries from my table, but when I press "update now", it does not remove the entries with "telecommunications" as their industry. Is it because edit sources can only add new entries, not remove old entries?

Hey
Sources can only add new entries, not edit or remove existing ones. That's why your exclusions didn't reduce your table size when you updated.
To remove those entries, you'll need to filter your table. Use the filter option "doesn't contain any of" for the industry column and enter "telecommunications" - then you can delete those filtered results.
Let me know if you need help setting up that filter!
