It is my understanding that Google Sheets' import functions only accept http or https protocol to import data/content.
What are my options if I need to import content from a local html file since importhtml("local path",...,...) will not work ? (in macOS Monterey)
Many thanks.
Since importhtml() does not have access to your local files, I can think of two options:
1. Make your HTML file public.
Here you need a hosting service, this way you will get a public domain or IP address.
I would recommend you Github Pages since it is free and supports HTTPS protocol.
The problem here is that you will have to update the public HTML file every time you want to update the formula in the spreadsheet.
2. Use Google Apps Script
If you are familiar with Google Apps Script, you can send data from your local HTML file to a Web app, process the data in the app and update the spreadsheet.

Currently, I am using PowerPivot to get the data from the ATOMSVC file and then having that automatically upload the results of the connection to Google Drive. I was wondering if there is a way to use one of the import functions instead with the link inside of the ATOMSVC file?
I've been searching for weeks on stackoverflow and google, but I wasn't able to find any good results.
I have a pdf file on my computer and I want to access that pdf file from an ios app, by clicking a link which will take me to that pdf file.
And when I modify that pdf file on my computer I want the link in the app to update with the latest version of that pdf file.
I thought of using a backend for storage such as Firebase storage but I had some issues with that.
How can I access that pdf file from an app? It doesn't have to be through a link, anything that will allow access with the latest version of the file is fine.
I appreciate any suggestions.
Thank You
The simplest way may be using a cloud storage such as Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive...etc and get the public share link to that file. Then you can load the PDF in your iOS app using this link.
You can do this using web services API, You need to create simple webservice in backend (in any language for example PHP) to get the list of file with path to access in mobile app, and configure backend webservice code to your server (your computer, wherever you want to update files), So you can get every time updated data (files path) using webservice.

Can i use windows scipt ?
The first step is, to get the csv from the spreadsheet. Accoring to responses to this post in stackoverflow this is simply a matter of using the right url.
As soon as you have the url you can use LotusScript- Functions to call that URL and import the csv- data to your documents / database.
Just google for the right starting point (e.g. "lotusscript read web site") and come back if you have concrete questions in your created script.
I was wondering if there is a way to upload a rails app to firebase? If so can someone tell me how I can't seem to do it. I've tried altering the firebase.json file for my public path from "." to "app/views/pages" and try to deploy but a message keeps displaying that "can't find index.html in your public folder." If anyone can shed some light on this thanks in advance.
Firebase hosting is a product to serve so-called static application, which consist only of files that the client interprets. Firebase's servers will not interpret any code that you upload. So Firebase hosting is not suited to host your Ruby-on-Rails application.
To quote Firebase hosting's documentation:
We deliver all your static content (html, js, images, etc)
Update: since early 2017 Firebase Hosting can be integrated with Google Cloud Functions. That means that it is now possible to run code in response to requests to files on Firebase Hosting, e.g. to generate hosted content on demand. At the moment this feature is limited to Node.js code. But that is dependent on Google Cloud Functions, so always check what languages that product supports to see what can be integrated into Firebase Hosting.
I have made a guide (or something like a tutorial) about my tool to share with my company. I used Google Docs to do that, and I would like to add links to open video guides. I want to know a way to add link in the document.
What I do is the following. Links in sheets ( or in your case Docs) only respond to internet protocols e.g. HTTP://, HTTPS:// and so on... . It does not respond to file explorer protocols (like excel or word does) e.g. file:\\ or C:\.
So I installed WampServer (any other server will do as well, I just use this) and then copied the files into the WWW folder.
Now you can link to files that way. Google Docs/Sheets accept links to localhost as acceptable files to establish a link.
Be aware, your server will have to be online for the links to work. But this is how I solved my problem without uploading items to the cloud that I want to keep private and still use in google docs.
This is just for my local computer, if you want to share the doc with others in a local environment a little more understanding of your local server operations will be needed (i.e. do not use localhost, but refer to your IP-address).
The server can be scale-able on your local network as well, at this point a little more education will be required.
However, if you want to share the doc with others around the world this will not work at all
What I do is upload the files on Google Drive, and post the shareable link on Google Doc. Works like a charm!
Try Redirector.
It's simple Chrome/Firefox add-on for redirections. You can add before your path "http://" - Google Doc will be OK with that, then just configure redirection rule in addon. Rule can include wildcard or regular expression.
