I am trying to connect 2 Google sheets (a Check-in and a Check-out Google sheet) to feed data off a management sheet. I don't know what formula or function to use to connect the 2 sheets to feed off the management sheet.
you can use IMPORTRANGE:
=IMPORTRANGE("URL of spreadsheet", "Sheet name!A1:D")
note: it will first prompt you to allow access

I tried with google sheets api v4
Your app description exactly matches the functionality already provided by the Sheets start page. Use that instead of writing your own replica of the same.
I have a number of google sheets that are updated automatically from bigquery through sheetgo that are shared with a lot of people. I want to stop updating some of these. Is there any way to check if a google sheet is used as a source through "importrange" to another google sheet?
I want to build a google sheet view , I thought since the data is already available in other google sheet for different purpose, would it be possible to pick up specific data from the sheet it exist to different google sheet.
You mean sheets in single spreadsheet or different spreadsheet?
If sheets, then you can take a range using curly brackets
={sheet1!A1:C100}
If spreadsheets then you can use importrange formula
=importrange("url of the spreadsheet","sheet1!A1:C100")
Is this what you are looking for?
I have a sheet (SheetA) that is a template in the GSuite template library.
SheetA uses the importrange function to import data from another sheet (SheetB). SheetA has been associated to the other sheet.
When a new sheet (SheetC) is created using the template (File->New From Template) the import has to be manually authorised between SheetC and SheetB, even though the template SheetA already had the authorisation in place.
Is there anyway that the re-authorization can be avoided as it was authorized in the original SheetA already?
Thanks!
The authorization has never been done between SheetB and SheetC so if you want to use the IMPORTRANGE, you need to allow the access to it.
When you are importing data from the SheetB you are only authorizing SheetA to access it - not all the other sheets.
So if you want to import data from SheetB into the SheetC, you need to authorize this again as this time it's another sheet requesting the data.
According to the IMPORTRANGE documentation:
Spreadsheets must be explicitly granted permission to pull data from other spreadsheets using IMPORTRANGE. The first time the destination sheet pulls data from a new source sheet, the user will be prompted to grant permission. Once access is granted, any editor on the destination spreadsheet can use IMPORTRANGE to pull from any part of the source spreadsheet.

I created a dashboard on Excel but want to move it to Google Sheets. How can I implement slicer like Excel on the spreadsheet?
I was using pivot in MS Excel with filters and slicers. I can replace slicer with some filters but in the spreadsheet, the filter isn't as handy as MS Excel and even dicer add-ons aren't functioning well. I am trying to replace it with data validation but that is making my dashboard extremely slow (Maybe because I can't find an efficient way). Can anyone suggest some combination of functions to create a slicer in Google spreadsheet? Any reading material recommendation regarding this?
For those who might land here after the question was originally answered:
Google Sheets now natively supports slicers.
Simply go to "Data" -> "Add a slicer" at the top menu.
See the documentation here: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/9245556
in Google Sheets, there are no Slicers but you can add an add-on to your Google Sheets called Dicers
