Why is this IMPORTRANGE formula not working? - google-sheets

I keep getting an error while using the IMPORTRANGE formula:
=importrange(“1uUbz2HAzgwBwY3zMXqcLJM_Z8qVQZHNP0wzRaNHceTc”, “Sheet1!A:B”)
I changed the name of my sheets several times to make sure everything matches but see a:
Formula parse error
and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. The original sheet has several tabs as well.
Can you see where the error is?

This worked for me:
=importrange(“1uUbz2HAzgwBwY3zMXqcLJM_Z8qVQZHNP0wzRaNHceTc”; “Sheet1!A:B”)
Maybe try it with a semicolon

Add the link format
eg
=importrange("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uUbz2HAzgwBwY3zMXqcLJM_Z8qVQZHNP0wzRaNHceTc","Sheet1!A:B") this should fix it

One other issue that can prevent import range from working is leading or trailing space in your sheet name. Make you check the sheet tab and clean out any leading or trailing spaces or your formula won't work. :-)
I burned an hour reading this thread and recreating my formula over and over again before I finally found the issue.

You have it as Sheet1!A:B, but you are missing the single quotes to identify the sheet name.
It should be 'Sheet1'!A:B instead.
The full formula is below:
=importrange(“1uUbz2HAzgwBwY3zMXqcLJM_Z8qVQZHNP0wzRaNHceTc”, “'Sheet1'!A:B”)

Make sure the sheet you're trying to import from is saved as a google sheet. I was trying to import an .xls file into a google sheet, and it wouldn't work. I re-saved the sheet as a google sheet and it fixed the problem immediately.

Problem
This formula does not work
=importrange(“1uUbz2HAzgwBwY3zMXqLJM_Z8qVQZHNP0aNHceTc”,“Sheet1!A:B”)
Reason why
You use curly double quotes “ ” instead of straight double quotes " "
SOLUTION
Change the quotes from curly to straight
=importrange("1uUbz2HAzgwBwY3zMXqLJM_Z8qVQZHNP0aNHceTc","Sheet1!A:B")
Be careful
If you have different locale you must also change , to ;

When transfering data from the cell of one sheet to another i am given #ref! error. how do i fix this?

when importing info from cell K24 in a google sheet called "Kaila Crowe-Weekly Timesheet" into a a different google sheet. when i use =IMPORTRANGE("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1km-rgr3fWQpnxV_IOjvfBeWYHwcSMKGCQ5vI3DUkh-Y/edit#gid=0","Kaila Crowe-Weekly Timesheet!D10:F10"). why would I be running into this error if all info is correctly labeled?
I think I found the issue. When referencing a sheet that has spaces in the name, you have to surround the name in single quotes. So your range should look like this:
'Kaila Crowe-Weekly Timesheet'!D10:F10
Which you then put inside the double quotes of the formula:
=IMPORTRANGE("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1km-rgr3fWQpnxV_IOjvfBeWYHwcSMKGCQ5vI3DUkh-Y/edit#gid=0", "'Kaila Crowe-Weekly Timesheet'!D10:F10")
See if that works.

Copy Row To Another Sheet Based On Cell Value In Google Sheet

I'm Trying it:
=FILTER('Orginal'!A:D, 'Orginal'!D:D="Complete")
Screens:
And i have Error. "formula analysis error"
What im doing wrong?
You are having a syntax error here:
Please use the following formula:
=FILTER('Orginal'!A2:D, 'Orginal'!D2:D="Complete")
update after finding solution
It turns out the solution had to do with the spreadsheet location.
The location of the spreadsheet can determine if the formulas have either a comma or a semicolon, as well as the format of the dates. To change your location of the spreadsheet, you can do it in:
file => spreadsheet settings => locale and change the locale there.
Yeah bad screen.. but i found it... it was problem with this:
It shoud be :
=FILTER(Orginal!A:D;Orginal!D:D="Complete")
i changed "," to ";"

Search for string with VLOOKUP in Google Sheets

Trying to find a particular string in a google sheet column (column A) and return the value of the cell directly to the right (column B). If tried the following, but keep getting a Formula parse error. Please advise:
=VLOOKUP(“Assessment Guide - AWG”, A16:B120,2,FALSE)
That formula looks right to me, but if you could take a screenshot of how you wrote the formula that would be helpful. Usually formula parsing issues happen when you use a semicolon instead of a comma or have an extra parenthesis or a quote in the wrong place.

Spreadsheets get unique names but ignore blank cells

I would like to use spreadsheets to get all unique names from Column A in a table but in the same time I would like blank cells to be ignored. So far I've got this formula that returns all of the unique names from column A but I don't know how to go about ignoring blank cells and not repeating values that have once been added previously.
Here is how my document looks so far. As you can see everything stops after Megan because there is a blank cell.
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$90, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($I$10:I10, $A$2:$A$90), 0)), "")
Searched long and wide but came up with nothing, if anyone has any idea how one could do that I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
=unique(A2:A) should work
=unique(filter(A2:A,A2:A<>"")) to also ignore blanks
Yet another hack
=SORT(UNIQUE(A2:A))
Technically, this does not remove the blank result. But nonetheless puts it at the end of the list. You'll also benefit from the sort if you need it. 😁
You can use query:
=unique(query(A2:A,"select A where A<>''"))
You can use this code:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$90, MATCH(0, INDEX(COUNTIF($I$10:I10, $A$2:$A$90)+($A$2:$A$90=""), ), 0)), "")
should work

Google Sheets formula not working

Google Sheets is saying there is a parse error.
=ROUNDUP(B9/B3)&ʺ:ʺ&ROUNDUP(B3/B9)
What's wrong with it?
I think it may just be the wrong type of double inverted commas. Try copy/pasting the following:
=ROUNDUP(B9/B3)&":"&ROUNDUP(B3/B9)
For comparison:
=ROUNDUP(B9/B3)&ʺ:ʺ&ROUNDUP(B3/B9)
Seconded, the commas are the issue here!
I re-typed your exact formula and the cell generated the correct solution:
=roundup(B9/B3)&":"&roundup(B3/B9)
