In this step by step Affinity Publisher for iPad tutorial, I'll show you how to quickly create an incremental timeline using tables and a spreadsheet with auto complete. Use this to quickly create timelines for daily pages in digital planners, with no manual keying.

I'll be using Affinity Publisher for iPad, however the process is the same for the desktop version as well.

Compatible Spreadsheet Apps:
iPad: Numbers, Excel and Google Sheets
Desktop: Numbers, Excel, Libre Office and Google Sheets
(please note, the process to cut and paste from Google Sheets is slightly different and I will show you how towards the end of the tutorial)
