Hey @adielas,

Welcome to the community :raised_hands:

Can you share the full workflow and complete the template so we can see what n8n version you are running and how it is setup.

Hi @adielas, welcome to the community. To my knowledge the Google Sheets node always adds it’s data below your last content in the sheet when using append.

There might be two ways to fix that:

  1. Use the Append and Update mode and make sure that you’re working with a unique key you could use
  2. Separate the data into two different sheets. One that contains data that you read and one that contains data that you write.

As Jon mentioned it would be nice to know a little more about your use case to provide even better help. Hope that helps :slight_smile:
