I'm trying to replicate some of the dynamic named ranges I use in Excel, in Google Sheets. For example, the following formulas define simple dynamic named ranges in Excel:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A),1)
=Sheet1!$K$1:INDEX(Sheet1!$K:$K,COUNTA(Sheet1!$K:$K),1)
However when I use either of these in Google sheets to define a named range I get an "Invalid Range" error. I've trawled the web but can't find any info on defining a Sheets dynamic named range in this way. Is this possible in Sheets?
I don't want to use a solution that involves any scripting - just trying to replicate how it's achieved in Excel.

I am making a calculator in Google sheets and I would like to find a formula or script or something that will allow me to read the value of a certain square and add the formula "=sum(C5:C9)" or "=product(C5:C9)" or whichever depending on what the person puts in C4. Not sure if this is possible in google sheets (without custom code), but if it is, that would be great!
try:
=IF(C4="*"; PRODUCT(C5:C9); SUM(C5:C9))
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.
Is there any way to do this other than using an API?
It seems like you can't specify the range of a chart with a formula.
I've tried name ranges too - does anyone know a work around?
unfortunately this one is not possible. google sheets (up to this date) does not support formulas in input field of charts. the only thing you can do is to query/filter your dataset on some separate hidden sheet and then construct chart from there.
I'm trying to build a webapp based on Google Sheets. I'm a little bit confused with the API. I have a spreadsheet which is shared with me by Drive and contains 2 sheets. I can get the first sheet with
GET /v4/spreadsheets/{spreadsheetId}
Returns the spreadsheet at the given ID.
endpoint. But I couldn't figure out how to get the second sheet. Is there a way I can get spesific sheet from a spreadsheet?
The problem in here is when you are using ranges parameter you have to specify the sheet title with A1 notation syntax as described in this document: https://developers.google.com/sheets/guides/concepts#sheet_id
I was using the ranges parameter and using the A1 notation correctly but I wasn't specifying the sheet title. In that scenario the default sheet is the first one. If you want the get another sheet other than the first one you have to specify the title, like this:
https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/{spreadsheetId}?ranges=sheetTitle!A3:F20
I create many dashboards on Google Spreadsheet, which are basically a spreadsheet containing a bunch of sheets with all sort of different data. Some of these spreadsheets can have up to 30 sheets or more.
I want a way to list the name of all sheets in a spreadsheet on a column using native functions.
I know this could be easily done with a custom function. However this would bring some complications regarding the workflow in my company.
Is there a way to accomplish that without using custom functions?
Thank You very much!
This works in Excel, so if you are able to export your workbook and save it as an Excel file rather than Google Doc this will work.
Go to your "Name Manager"
Create a 'New' name and call it "Sheets"
Insert this formula into the 'Refers to' box =TRANSPOSE(GET.WORKBOOK(1))&T(NOW())
Now insert this formula where you want the list of Sheet names =IFERROR(INDEX(MID(Sheets,FIND("]",Sheets)+1,255),ROW(A1),1),"")
Drag the formula down so A1 progresses (A1 represents the sheet number that you are getting the name of).
