Google Sheet gviz csv export - two column labels not exporting - google-sheets

I'm trying to export this Sheet to a csv for use in a webmap using this link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XQnp7RK-Ddq4wCjpHjmcnVEKood1U08kIfRGr8sDRoU/gviz/tq?tqx=out:csv&sheet=Sheet1
It works well, except that two of the column headers (lat, long) are not exporting and the column labels in the csv are blank. I tried to change the format of the cell from Automatic to Plain text, but that didn't fix it.

Findings
It seems this is an issue with gviz api as there's an ongoing Google Issue tracker report about it. You may want to click the star icon on the top left of issue report page to indicate that your are also affected by this issue.
UPDATE
As an alternative solution, you may try this way as this will export the same csv file:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XQnp7RK-Ddq4wCjpHjmcnVEKood1U08kIfRGr8sDRoU/export?format=csv&gid=0
Reference:
Download link for Google Spreadsheets CSV export
Test
I did some quick tests on my end & after manually downloading the sheet file as a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file from the Google Sheet UI & after using the alternative solution, there's no issue with missing cells. But when using the gviz api link, the issue occurs:

If you set the column to 'Plain text' under the Format menu > Number, you should receive the data upon export.

How do I get data from differeent sheet / using sheet's name or link(GOOGLE SHEET)

What I knew
is how to link data by
="SheetName!A2:B2" (same file, Differet Sheets)
or
=importrange("Url","sheetName!A2)(Different file)
all these require manual edditing
My Question:
If i have a list of these sheet name, or even it's Url,
How can i get dates from other sheets by using these SheetName or Url?
BTW:
i am trying to build a Table Menu for my Inovice system automatically
i had a file with 100+ sheet, every sheet has the same form, and i had looked up how to generate Sheetname list with url, but when i try to link (Using SheetNAme or Url as clue) to get the total sell amount/ client name / time, i counld't.

thanks for reading and helping, my english expressing may not be precise ,sorry for that.
In G8, try
=indirect(C8&"!C6")
be sure that the layout of each tab is similar (not the case in your spreadsheet) to expand the formula

Create a report from google sheets

I have a Google Sheets file I use to enter data on different properties.
Each row in this file represents a single property.
If a certain property is of interest, I would like generate a report for it.
I need a functionality that will extract all data fields from a single row, and insert them in a new file (google sheets or preferably a Google Docs file) with a pre built format that would present the data nicely like a report.
Thanking you in advance
Avi
Here is a very preliminary answer, to see if this is the right direction.
See my sample sheet.
This lets you select, in C3, which address you want a report on. The fields shown in green change as you select a different address. All of the report fields could be modified like this - you just need to point to which column in the Properties database contains the values.
Is this roughly what you were looking to achieve?

How can I import a tab delimited (TSV) file saved on Google Drive into Google Sheets?

I saved a TSV file (it has to be TSV because reasons... I guess it could be .xlsx too), on my drive and I want to import it using =importdata("https://drive.google.com/open?id=<myfileID>")
This... almost works, but it seems to want to give each character a column (except that my data doesn't even have that characters. The error is:
Error
Result was not automatically expanded, please insert more columns (1096).
My data has 13 columns, and browsing the data in a text editor, has max about 125 characters. So even allocating a character per column it should still be able to show it
I've saved sample TSV and Sheets document, so perhaps you guys can help me out.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ri_FJ-ty9rB408KTzeLUGm8om4JX8q_Mh6x7Eh7bbIQ/edit?usp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ijERb-QPmeYA_GrcjB3dCckNKU2XiSd8/view?usp=sharing (the tsv file)
Answer:
You need to use the export/download link, rather than the share link.
Modification:
=IMPORTDATA(https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=1ijERb-QPmeYA_GrcjB3dCckNKU2XiSd8&export=download)
You can get this link by visiting the share link for your TSV file, and hitting download in the top-right. A new tab will open that contains the URL of the export link.
You can also take the imported data and use the SPLIT function to separate the tabular data using CHAR(9):
=ARRAYFORMULA(SPLIT(IMPORTDATA(A3),CHAR(9),FALSE,TRUE))
Alternatively, you can use the File > Import > [Select File] menu item, then use the Append to current Sheet and Tab separator type to import any TSV file on your Drive to a Sheet.

"Formula parse error" when querying different document

I am attempting to have a cell in Sheet B display data from a cell in External / Remote Sheet A, but it results in "Formula parse error." (ETA detail to aid searches: displaying data in one Google Spreadsheet from a different Google Sheet.)
My query:
=Query(SheetA,sheet1!A:I,"select I WHERE A=3")
I've also tried it this way:
=Query(SheetA,sheet1!$A:$I,"select I WHERE A=3",-1)
This answer courtesy of #AdamL (thank you, sir!). This was his answer that I found does work very well. When QUERY isn't directly referencing a range in the same spreadsheet, use Colx notation rather than column letters:
=QUERY(importrange("NameofGoogleSheet","SheetTabName!A:Z"),"select Col9 where Col1=3")
If referencing dynamically, use something like:
=QUERY(importrange("NameofGoogleSheet","SheetTabName!A:Z"),"select Col9 where Col1="&D19)
It is also important to note that you must first connect the sheets to each other. Until this is done, you will get column errors, etc. This is done by selecting a cell of the sheet that will display the data, and putting in an IMPORTRANGE on it, which opens a dialog for connecting them. More info: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093340?hl=en
I also realized (duh) that I was being stupid to have two separate files for each. I only need two sheets within the same document; 1 to serve as the database and the other to display the formatted data. I am using this for a pedigree application.
I had a Formula Parse Error problem. My mistake was that I had two brackets on my formula. I deleted one set, and it was fixed. I am not sure why, but it worked for me.
EXAMPLE:
=SUM((AB450,AB432,AB422,AB415,AB405)) - THIS GAVE ME A FORMULA PARSE ERROR.
=SUM(AB450,AB432,AB422,AB415,AB405) - THIS IS THE ONE THAT WORKED

Brio save file without column headings

How can I prevent the column headings from appearing in a .txt save file in Hyperion ?
Here is the answer from Oracle/Hyperion:
You are correct that the headers still appear on the export of the section to .xls format. If you are attempting to export the section and do not want the headers present, you will need to export out as one of the Office Archive formats that are provided (Microsoft Office 2000 HTML (.html) or (.mhtml)). There is no option through the GUI to export a file in the Excel (.xls) format and not have the headers present.
On the main menu bar select Format. In the dropdown, there is an option for 'Column Titles’. Selecting the 'Column Titles' option with uncheck it, removing the column titles from the results.
A workaround, assuming you have no duplicate rows, is to create a Pivot section for the Table/Result set, and bring in every column as a Side Label, and turn off all the Top/Side/Corner labels. Export the Pivot section. Works best if you're pulling in a unique identifier for each row.
