Multiple users are accessing the spreadsheet from one account (signed in through the email) for google sheets. Once someone adds/edits the spreadsheet, it doesn't update the other accounts due to inactivity such is causing serious problems. Is there a way to have every account update all the time? I tried google extensions but that didn't work and I do know about the recalculation "On change and every minute" but that still doesn't work. This is different to other questions because I am not pulling data from other sheets, every computer is using the same spreadsheet.

I have a google form that is being used by the employees of my firm to upload stock details. Now daily it has around 20 entries daily. I used google form since I can manage the data in google sheet pretty easily. But using IMPORTRANGE on these files has made it very slow. Thus, I wanted to shift to SQL database.
The issue I am facing is that if I push data from google sheet, then I'll manually have to do it everytime. I want that google form to send the data to the sql database directly so that I can manage the data on that which can increase the computational speed.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Currently I am using google sheet to manage the data, which is very slow.
I need to find the spent time on a specific google sheet file.
Is there any way to watch or calculate the total active spend time on each google sheet file?
In the current state there is no native option that allows you to know the time spent within a sheet.
I recommend that you open a new request in Google Issue Tracker, asking them to add this feature to the Sheets API or using Help > Send Feedback to Google > Suggest an idea inside Google Sheet.
In the meantime, as a workaround, there are several extensions that allow you to do what you are looking for.
I've been able to query from a Google Sheets table just fine for the past 6 months to a year and then all of a sudden I'm receiving the error: "Found corrupted data while opening file." Does anyone know why this is occurring even though there were no changes made to the Google Sheet.
I had the same problem. My tables' source format was CSV while using a spreadsheets.
To solve it, I deleted the table and recreated it with "Google Sheet" as source format.
For other tables I couldn't delete, I changed the source format by making a REST call.

Both solutions worked.
this happens occasionally...the error is on Google's side. the best course of action is to contact Google Sheets support and request recovery of your spreadsheet. it may take them 1-3 weeks to do so.
I am using the Google Analytics Spreadsheet add-on to fetch report data into a spreadsheet. The data from Google Analytics is pulled daily in my spreadsheet and shown in an Overview sheet. However, I would like to store the values for later reference.
Google Analytics add-on sheet
My idea is to store all daily values in one sheet and fetch these values via INDEX/MATCH.
I would like to "persist" the row of the current day after the Google Analytics report is run, to store this value for the future.
Any suggestions how to do this?
The Google Analytics Spreadsheet Add-on doesn't have an append feature, so you cannot keep data from previous runs and add data from new runs.
However, you don't need to: since you're going to do a lookup (index-match), it doesn't matter on which rows the data sits, since you're lookup is going to find it. So you can build your reports to get data from the last N days (eg last year with Start Date = TODAY()-366 and End Date = TODAY()-1 (not getting data from today due to GA data processing latency). Traditionally when doing reporting you're interested in a time period that's relative to now (eg "how has it been going for the last 12 months?"), hence the above method would be suitable.
If you want an append feature, you need to use other solutions, like SuperMetrics.
I have Team of 15 people updating there data of call backs and other info in the Microsoft Excel
Now i want to use Google Sheets for Real time data. So i want all of them to use a Google Sheet and a Team leader should have the updates when ever they are updating the there own sheets. Everyone should have there own passwords to open there but an Admin should have access to all of there data in those sheets. I hope you understood my needs. I know its possible with Google Sheets but i don,t know how to prepare one as am new to this platform.
Please Help.
If you use
=importrange("sheet url", "range you want to import")
on a separate sheet, it will update dynamically as they change things - I have done this specifically with remote employees previously
