DataSource AutoNextOn in Companion Not Working

I run my show remote - vMix is on another computer in another room. Everything goes through a Stream Deck and Companion to switch. Graphics as well, which I created custom GT interfaces that connect to Google Sheets for the data. I use DataSource AutoNextOn to advance the row on the Google sheet. In Companion it's "vmix:DataSource - Next Row" This is what's not working. vmix-next.jpg (31kb) downloaded 0 time(s).I have tried "Google Sheets,Sheet1", "Google Sheets,Sheet1,1", and "Google Sheets,Show" (The name of the sheet), and my next/previous buttons do not work. I just installed 26, so I downgraded to 25, but the problem did not go away. I also just updated Companion (after) to 2.4.2 to see if that was an issue, but the Next Row function still will not work. At a loss, here. Any thoughts?

We also use Companion with our stream decks and vMix and actually added this same function last week for our new Google Sheet/Excel Data Sources. The setup below works great for us, and allows you to move up and down in your data source rows.
In Companion (2.4.1 or higher) Press action
vmix: DataSource - Prev Row Name,Table: DataSourceName,Sheet1
vmix: DataSource - Next Row Name,Table: DataSourceName,Sheet1
DataSourcename is your actual DataSource name in vMix **I have never used spaces in a DataSource name, use a (-) or (_) if needed
That might be causing the issue. Spaces should generally be avoided when dealing with Data/Databases.
We also use another similar function in Companion to Select a Specific Data Source (Sheet/Row)
vmix: DataSource - Select Row Name,Table: DataSourceName,Sheet1,0
Hope this helps you out.

Thanks for the info. When you set it up, the default is "Google Sheets". Nonetheless, I changed the name to "Google-Sheets" and made the adjustments on Companion, but still am not getting any movement.
Are you using Google Sheets, or one of the other presets?

@ geekazine
Try removing the space after the comma: Google Sheets,Sheet1

On the screenshot there is a space after the comma. The name of the sheet has to follow directly after the comma.

So I am not sure what happened, but this morning it started working. I did change it to "Google-Sheets", and the space you guys saw was on my SD that was on the computer with vMix. I did remove it.
Another thing that happened was "Sheet1" did not work anymore (even though it was "Google Sheets,Sheet1" since I created it). It's now "Google-Sheets,Show"(the actual sheet name).
So a combination of things - and I'm guessing the upgrade to 26 - were what caused this to stop working. It's working now.
Thanks to everyone that helped out.
