Create a way that every time the sheet is called, all indexes in the Figma file offset by n rows

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am searching for a simple way to fake an animating live data chart plot. We need a solution that can pull in different datasets easily and re-animate for various live prototypes.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to recursively grab values with each data pull a second at a time that are offset by n rows. (In my case, I sometimes need to animate either one or three values at a time.)

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Animating the plot in matplotlib and then embedding the video into Figma. This is not easily repeatable by non-technical designers for new datasets.
  • a live GraphQL canned data service that is fed into Figma. Also not very fun for multiple datasets.
  • variable hell with all the limitations of using it for large data sets.
  • use something like the Chart plugin and create separate thousand-value plots
  • making a custom plug-in 😫

Additional context If you have better ideas, I'm all ears!
