I have a problem with google sheets.
Normally, everyday I copied data from a spread sheet to google sheet. But today I copied a cell from google sheet and paste it in another sheet.
After doing this I am unable to paste data from spread sheet to google sheet.
I tried a lot to copy data from Spread sheet and paste on Google sheet but, it paste the date which was copied from google sheet not the date I copied from my spread sheet.
try using the combo:
CTRL + SHIFT + V

I was doing a copy of data from one google sheet to another google sheet with references from another google sheet cells. However, when I insert a new row in between and add data in the original sheet, it doesn't get reflected in the new sheet. How can I make such a dynamic copy-paste in which newly added row can be reflected in the new sheet?
Try Importrange formula
As I understand, you are trying to copy data from Google-sheet1 to Google-sheet2
use this formula in cell A1 the Google-sheet2 where you want the data from the original sheet i.e. from Google-sheet 1
=IMPORTRANGE("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/abcd123abcd123", "sheet1!A1:C10")
The only change you need to make is to change the URL mentioned in the formula to the URL of your Google-sheet1. Just copy-paste your sheet URL here. And define the Range - like what data from google-sheet1 should you copy to google-sheet2 (eg.A1 to E100) So, all the data in this range will be copied to your new sheet.
By doing this, every change you make in original-sheet should be copied in your second sheet.
I have a spreadsheet with 2 sheets, one is for "Analysis", and the 2nd ("Data") is for lists (dropdowns etc). This my "Master Copy" that only I can update.
When I've added new features etc to my Master, I copy both the Analysis and Data sheets to an existing copy, which allows anyone to view and use, create their own copy, etc. Then I delete the original sheets in this public spreadsheet, and rename the updated sheets so they don't have "Copy..." in the sheet name.
It seems that after I have copied the updated sheets to the "public" spreadsheet, a few of the Named Ranges disappear. This is quite a problem.
As a newbie, I'm unsure if I'm doing something wrong?
I have created a Google Sheet add-on that includes a bunch of Google Apps Scripts plus a bunch of formatting over a number of sheets (tabs). When I publish this to the G Suite Marketplace, will that formatting of the sheets (tabs) be included? For example, I have entered column headers, styled the text (colour, font etc). The formatting and text instructs the user where to enter the needed data that allows the add-on to function.
I have searched through the documentation and other Stackoverflow questions, but have not found a response.
The published Google Sheets add-ons doesn't include a copy of the spreadsheet. To include them you could make that your add-on creates a copy of the spreadsheet that includes the formatted sheets or you could publish that spreadsheet as a template.
Reference
Create a file from template
Look at the Create a template with an add-on section
I have found an answer. #Rubén was likely referring to this solution.
To accomplish this, follow these steps.
Create your spreadsheet with associated formatting, text, colours etc.
Go into Share settings and share the spreadsheet with the option Anyone who has the link can view
Then grab the ID of the spreadsheet within the URL (ex. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ID_IS_HERE/edit#gid=0)
To copy that spreadsheet use the following code in your add-on.
function importSheet() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("sheet ID goes here");
var sheetToCopy = ss.getSheets()[0]; //gets the first sheet
var destination = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
sheetToCopy.copyTo(destination);
}
If your source spreadsheet has multiple sheets, you can get the number of sheets using var number = ss.getSheets().length; then loop through the above code using number to copy each individual sheet.
Regarding the source spreadsheet, Google provides the following detail
// Note that the spreadsheet is NOT physically opened on the client side.
// It is opened on the server only (for modification by the script).
I hope this helps someone else.
I have three sheets, sheet A, B and C.
Sheet A contains data read from sheet B
Sheet B contains data read from sheet C.
Sheet C automatically builds from a big CSV file that updates every hour.
Sheet B reads parts of the data from sheet C.
Sheet A is used by external people.
The reason sheet A is not looking up data directly from sheet C is privacy and security reasons, that's why I hop through an intermediary sheet which the users of sheet A do not have edit access to.
Long story short: I actually only need to make sure Sheet B is automatically updating it's data from Sheet C, so Sheet A always looks at fresh data.
Is there no way to simply load/recalculate a Google Sheet on a schedule?
I see there are some answers here and there that seem to be ridiculously complicated, like setting up ITTT.com or adding macros that add and remove lines into spreadsheets etc.
Surely there must be an elegant way of doing this?
If within the same Google Sheets Workbook, the formula: index(namedRangeRow , namedRangeColumn) works beautifully to "pull" or extract the piece of data residing at the intersection of the named row and named column onto another Sheet in the SAME Workbook.
How do I write a formula to get the same effect when I want to pull data from a DIFFERENT Workbook? I presume it is importRange, but I can't seem to get that formula to recognize two named ranges and find the data at the intersection thereof.
The formula: importRange("key", "namedRangeRow") works great, but it pulls all the data in the target Workbook range. So, I presume it's some variation of that formula, I just can't find the right way to express the two ranges within the importRange function.
The formula in the image below pulls a value in a cell at the intersection of two named ranges from a separate Google spreadsheet (i.e., workbook). (Link to sheet.)
The sheet where the data resides is below. (Link to sheet.)
The SetLinkData sheet is the 2nd sheet in the Set List workbook as in the pic below and contains the ID of the Song Catalog sheet.
