Hi!
The Geometry Spreadsheet manual page says:
“Geo Select Button
For both SOP and POP viewing, a Geo-Selection button is provided. Clicking the right mouse ( RMB) brings up a menu where the Selection Rule can be specified (just like the Selection Rules in the regular viewers' Select state). This menu also includes a checkbox labeled Auto. To use it, select regions in the spreadsheet the usual way (dragging the mouse to create a rectangular region). Only the rows are relevant to the geometry selection because they represent the points/primitives. If Auto is enabled, the geometry selection will be transferred immediately after you release the mouse button for the rectangular region. (The points/primitives are added/removed/toggled/replaced depending on the Selection Rule). If Auto is not enabled, you have to press the Geo Selection button with the left mouse ( LMB) button to apply the selection.”
There are buttons to choose to show different elements (points/vertices/primitives/details) but no button for selection rule
and right-click menu gives totally different list of options (jump up/jump down…)
So how that is meant to work?
What I really am looking for is way to select elements (e.g. points) in SPREADSHEET and get them selected in the viewport as well. So far I have not managed to do that so I must be doing something wrong.
Please help
Thank you!

See that little button next to the question mark, in your posted image? Click and hold that until a menu appears. Move to the bottom of the menu and activate “Auto” This will link your selection automatically between the spreadsheet and the viewport.

Oh, indeed! I got misled by the tooltip ‘replace’ and icon of that button so that was the only place I didn't try to right-click
Thank you very much!
