We are also interested in this feature, although I would expand the scope to include charts as well as tables. Here is our use case:

Spreadsheet charts and tables can be inserted programmatically into Google Slides, but this functionality isn't available for Google Docs. We would like to be able to generate data-driven documents, but we are currently hampered by the lack of API support.

In our case, we need to create templatized technical documentation for (non-software) engineering projects that draws heavily on a custom dataset. It would be tremendously time-saving if at the start of a project, we could automatically generate a new Google Doc that has embedded tables and charts tied to a new Google Sheet. The Sheet would be initially populated with numbers from our database, but engineers could update the figures and calculations to customize them for individual projects.

A somewhat similar result could be achieved by writing the output directly to tables in the Google Doc itself, but this isn't really a satisfactory workaround. The value of having the data in a separate sheet is that it can be easily edited and manipulated using the full power of a spreadsheet, with changes synced automatically to the Doc.

It seems like the chief value of having an API for Doc creation is that it allows routine documentation tasks to be automated, so that authors can be more productive. Unfortunately, if embedded data isn't included in the APIs, a lot of the potential productivity gains go away. The utility of this feature would extend to a lot of documentation types, such as sales proposals, etc.

Hey Support Team,

this feature is also very relevant to our team.

Thanks and best regards.

Hey this feature will very helpful for many of our required automations.
pls suggest if we have workaround for this as of now

Very good feature to have

We create large Slides templates with 60-80 embedded linked tables to a Sheets template and when we make a copy of these Slides and Sheets templates and have to recreate all the linked tables manually is EXTREMELY painful.  I would LOVE the ability to progammatically create an embedded linked table in Slide from a Sheet!

this would be of great help!

Same here, it would be very useful to automate proper formatting with letterhead particularly.

This type of functionality is crucial and would greatly help with automated reporting through Docs and Sheets.

This would allow so much work to be automated!

Our organisation would also greatly benefit form this feature!

Hello,
Our organisation uses numerous google docs with more than 50 linked objects synchronized with a google sheet. We would like to develop an App script that can change the google sheet ID.

So we also really need this feature, or at least the possibility to modify the Sheet linked in Gdoc table & chart objects.

Same here, it would be great to have this feature.

Same need, although without the link it would be a very good start.
Indeed, I have nice table with formating, hyperlinks in cells, ... and the body.appendTable(srcData);  make loosing all of this.  

I'm still *so* interested in this. When using AppsScript, to get a table from Sheet to a Doc, I have to insert a basic table, which loses formatting and loses the ability to update when the underlying data has changed. To overcome those, I have to do hacky things like appending a row with an identifier, and looping over cells to copy their formats/styles, so that I can have a trigger in the sheet to update the Doc versions of tables. It's not a great solution in contrast to if we were able to insert, delete, and edit the URL and range of Linked Objects. For what it's worth, here's a repeat vote for this functionality in Apps Script!

This feature would be greatly useful for our team! Both the table linking and the same feature for charts

I am very interested on this feature also

We are heavily leveraging Google Sheets and Google Slides to generate business case presentations for customers and prospects.  The App Scripts capabilities are phenomenally useful to take the IP we build into Sheets and populate customer-facing presentations based on detailed analysis of each prospect/customer.

However, the lack of any App Script capability to "insertSheetsTable()" akin to "insertSheetsChart()" seriously limits this capability.  For example, we calculate an overall ROI for a prospect in the Google Sheet and, while we can insert a Chart showing this graphically, we cannot insert the single cell containing the ROI as a link.  The only solution is to include a text placeholder in the template Google Slide presentation and use presentation.replaceAllText to update it.  However, this does not link the two values, which means any updates to the underlying Google Sheet need to be manually updated which is a significant issue.

Any workarounds or alternative solutions would be welcome, but the insertSheetsTable() capability would be the best solution.

Happy to provide additional detail if needed.  Thanks for the support!

Jumping in to keep this boosted, we're also very much interested in this feature being implemented – come on Goooooogle!

eagerly awaited

Almost a year after my first comment, and I still look forward to this possibility immensely :)

I have the same feature request.
A potential use case for me is to select a certain text in a google docs document, and insert the selected text into a spreadsheet for further processing in the spreadsheet. So far this works fine with the available features. But in addition, I would then like to link back (in an automated way by means of an Apps script) the inserted ranges from the spreadsheet to the docs document (similar to manually paste and select to link the table). Without this feature, full automation is not possible.
Best Regards.

Same as everyone: would use and appreciate this feature immensely!

This is something our organisation would definitely use - we would like to replace MSWord quotations from salesforce and script our own quotations in google docs with an embedded table showing the pricing. We create hundreds of these quotes a month.
