I have a simple Google sheet that has 9 fields as shown below
Google sheet data source
When I connect this file as a data source using Google Sheets connector, I get ONLY 7 fields instead of 9 as shown below:
Data Source Editor
There are two missing files that cannot be recognized by GDS which are scenario and feedback fields respectively.
In order to solve this issue, I tried the following:
disconnect and reconnect the data source file again. But it did not work.
Also, I tried to use refresh fields but in vain too.
I tried also.
I could not find any reason for that behavior. please help if you can.
Here is a link to a sample Google Sheet file.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GIHjwPp0uodUiJeXeX9RVr58hFz2re-6ilZYAeFU_Lc/edit?usp=sharing
Are these missing columns in your original google sheets file also empty? If yes, this is the reason why GDS is not recognizing those table. If you add some value in at least one row of these columns and reconnect the data source, they will show up.
If you intend to keep those columns empty for whatever reason, you can make a row with 'test' as values and filter those out in the report after connecting the data source.

I am trying to import this table into a Google Spreadsheet:
The table is available here:
https://competitions.lta.org.uk/sport/drawsheet.aspx?id=8D598CDE-8579-4541-B7AD-48558BF6FEA3&draw=4
Before Google changed their Spreadsheet addresses, I had the import working with ImportHTML(URL, "table", 2) - but this no longer works, even though there appears to be only two 'table' labels in the page HTML.
Looking for a way to abstract the table, I went to 'importXML' but tried several versions like 'importxml("https://competitions.lta.org.uk/sport/drawsheet.aspx?id=8D598CDE-8579-4541-B7AD-48558BF6FEA3&draw=4", "//div[contains(#id,'poule')]")'
and the same first part of the statement with "//table[contains(#class,'ruler')]")
but the formula fails with 'no content'
Would really appreciate some help to find a way to import this table!
Thanks in anticipation,
The reason you can't get the table data is because of the cookies page
Every time Google Sheets is trying to access that link, you need to accept cookies, and by default, Google Sheets won't do it.
You need to bypass or accept the cookies from the website to access data, you will need to implement more advanced things in Python or Google Apps Script
Hy, I am using Yahoo Fantasy Football and I have design Google Sheet to get the score data which is the working fine. The link to the sheet is as under.
Google Sheet Link
I have changed the permission to Editor. I have made a drop-down which holds the information of Week numbers. Basically, my idea is that by choosing the week number I want to populate the data from yahoo fantasy football. For importing data, i am using this command.
=importhtml("https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/683375","table",1)
and this command is working well.
I tried it by using the same command but it does not works for the week numbers. The source of the page is as under.
so according to the given picture, here is the week number, I want to implement the same in the google sheet by using the dropdown. I have implemented the drop down but it does not work. Is there a way to interlink both using scripts or command so from google sheet when I chose week from the drop-down the concerning data should be populated? please take a look at the Google Sheet given above. I am also getting this error, while it was working fine before, how can it be resolved also.
Thanks
IMPORTHTML cannot retrieve elements dynamically inserted by a script. In your case the content on Week matchups is inserted dynamically and therefore will not be retrieved (it will return empty). Moreover, IMPORTHTML olny gets data from tables or lists and if you inspect what it seemed to be a table in Week Matchup is just actually a series of divs. If the content would not be inserted dynamically, to get the data from these divs you would need to use IMPORTXML.
If you still want to retrieve this information I am afraid that you will need to look for other web scraping techniques.
I am trying to get a specific value from a public company's balance sheet into Google Spreadsheet to better analyze the company financials. I want to add the ticker in one of the cells and via a formula, I will get the Total Current Assets for example.
Is there a way to it?
The main issue is that the data is populated after the page is being rendered, so even if I use the IMPORTHTML and set the right XPath I am getting Imported content is empty. It because the value is since it is being fetched on the on a later script.
I found this service which provides the company's financials in a JSON and CSV formats, but I dont know how to parse it on the googlesheet.
Should be something that someone already solved.
Thanks
I want to connect a Google Sheets to a new BigQuery table that populates and updates the data automatically from Sheets to BigQuery. I'm using this tutorial from Google itself to do the setup.
My problem: the table connected with spreadsheet was created empty so I had to query it and save the result as another table to see and use the data.
I can't post images yet so I ask you please to check this imgur post, please.
I'm not expert in these things but does not seems to be the best way to do it. I found some spreadsheet add-ons but I'm trying to avoid them.
Any ideas what's the best way to do this kind of setup/connection?
I had to configure each column manually
BigQuery provides a variety of tools which make it pretty simple to connect the external table to BigQuery.
One option is to simply use the WebUi and the Auto Detect option which help you not to enter each column manually
This works perfectly for me also when inserting and adding data to the external table.
You can refer to BigQuery official manual on an external table for more help
I am trying to find a way to link several google forms to one google sheet without separate tabs. I am creating a database so I want different employees to be responsible for different sections of the same spreadsheet.
You need to use "IMPORTRANGE". I had to do that recently. https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093340?hl=en You have to tell the receiving sheet what range of the feeder sheets to import and then give permission.The trick is, if someone adds columns to a feeder sheet, you have to make sure the data is not "overlapping" in the receiving sheet. Otherwise, you'll get an error.
