Is there a way to append two separate google sheets sources in tableau?
Reason being is some of my sheets have exceeded the 10 million cells mark and I'm forced to use multiple sheets
The sheets have exactly the same column structure
'Join' is not the same as append. 'Join' adds columns, based on a key field, while append adds rows. Tableau calls append 'union'.

I have a query that pulls specific ranges of columns from a different sheet. It is combining the top two rows. Any way to string together multiple ranges of columns from a different sheet and not combine the top row? thanks
example Query ( {'mainview'!, A1:L36, 'mainview'!n1:N36}) this does not work
First column not combined with second.
If you are just trying to combine two ranges:
={mainview!A1:L36,mainview!N1:N36}
I want to take the same column in each of several dozen sheets and make all the data in all of those columns part of the same named range.
unfortunately, that is not possible. for each sheet, you would need to create a separate named range.
So I've been trying to find a way to check multiple sheets on a column on the master sheet.
Previously the different sheets used a mixture of importrange and index/match to match town(each sheet is a different one)/number and pull a separate, matching columns number into said sheet.
=IF(B9>0,IFNA(INDEX(IMPORTRANGE("MAINSHEETLINK","Civils!$J$5:$J$500"), MATCH (B9,(IMPORTRANGE("MAINSHEETLINK","Civils!$I$5:$I$500"))*(IMPORTRANGE("MAINSHEETLINK","Civils!$D$5:$D$500")=$P$7), 0)),0),"0")
the $P$7 is the town name on the row it searches for.
The ifna just keeps it clean.
I can't figure out how I can use vlookup or query to search multiple sheets in this way. There's a separate Yes/No check on the secondary sheets that checks whether or not something was imported. I'd like a separate column on the main sheet to check across multiple sheets to true/false if the above check is Yes/No.
There's a possibility I have several nested if functions working through each sheet using the above index/match, but that seems prone to breaking, not to mention having to redo it once new sheets crop up.
I want to combine the resulting rows collected in a form response sheet according to the date of submission (e.g. 29/10/2017) into a single row.
How can I create the result as you can see in row 11 without using concatenate function? The problem is I have thousands of columns and around 40 rows to combine the result. Therefore, if I use concatenate, it will be very inefficient and error-prompt.
Thanks.
sample
Try QUERY
=QUERY(B2:N9,,500)
By using 500 as header argument, We essentially CONCATENATE all the columns.
I would like to use a formula in Google Sheets to lookup a key and populate a set of rows based on the key match. For example, I want to search Column A for the number 2 and get all the rows that have the number 2 and the corresponding column values. I want to do this in Google Sheets.
It sounds like FILTER or QUERY should work. See if these work as you want:
=FILTER(Sheet1!A:Z,Sheet1!A:A=2)
=QUERY(Sheet1!A:Z,"where A=2")
