This table is created using wpDataTables and its starting point was using an .xlsx file that was downloaded from the Google Sheet. (Native integration with Google Sheets requires a paid for license). If you make a WpDataTables this way, then you get to also have sort/filter. What I don’t love about this plugin is that you can’t see the table from the layout editing page — you have to go to the Dashboard itself to mess with a table. The other thing I don’t love about this is that the free version (I think) always inserts the “Generated by…” advertisement.

[wpdatatable id=1]

This is also created using wpDataTables manually using an Excel-like interface. When you build it this way from scratch you lose all the sort/filter options.

[wpdatatable id=2]

This is a Ninja Table, created from a .csv file that was downloaded via Google Sheets. It seems pretty flexible too. This tool forces you to create a table from the dashboard, but then you can apply a bunch of changes from the layout page, which to me is a more natural way of doing it.
