So I am trying to learn how to get the lowest selling price data from g2a games and put it onto google sheets. I tried the code below for Next car Game on G2A but get an error saying imported content is empty.
=IMPORTXML("https://www.g2a.com/next-car-game-early-acces-steam-cd-key-global.html","//div[#class=mp-Price]")
I am very new to this but hope to learn off of this
It is loaded by a separate json file through jquery. I found the source url but you will still have to parse out that data and then compare lowest rates potentially
=TRANSPOSE(IMPORTDATA("https://www.g2a.com/marketplace/product/auctions/?id=5759&v=0"))

So I've been stuck in this for some days, tryed a lot of search terms but all of them seems to bring me the same answers and i really need this:
I have a demand to join two different company's datas from the same owner, all of them have the same data sources (excel data sheets from FB ADS).
So they all share the same (keys/headers), like this:
COMPANY(1)'S ADS DATA
COMPANY(2)'S ADS DATA
So this way I need to put then togheter without having to join both of then on excel every time and also give him some nice data manipulation power.
The results should be something like this
By now I was trying to join data from the two companys but I couldn't really figure out how to properly do this so far I've made some tests and tryed reading a couple of articles and google data studio's help files. The merging data function seems to mess everything.
As a result of this merge, GDS gives me this fields:
Shouldn't I see like only one field labeled as cnt and cmp? I've noticed that GDS creates not one, but two data fields. If I try adding all data I need as key the left sheet turns all "0s". What Am I doing wrong here?
I have read your descriptions. It seems that you are looking for a solution to append both tables instead of merging the tables.
Do note that the data blending in GDS is a left outer join.
Hence, instead of doing the blending in GDS, I'd suggest you to append both datasets in Google Sheet in a separate tab before importing to GDS for visualisation. (assuming you don't mind copy-pasting the data into the Google Sheet).
Here is the formula to append both datasets in Google Sheets:
= {QUERY(A!A1:D1000,"SELECT A,B,C,D WHERE A <> ''",1);QUERY(B!A2:D, "SELECT A,B,C,D WHERE A <> '' ")}
I've created some dummy data in this google sheets and appended the data using the formula provided , you may take a look to understand further.
If you are unclear on the difference between merge and append, you may take a look in the Google Sheet documentation as well.
On a side note, I've screencast the process of answering this question and posted on my youtube channel. You may take a look if needed. (Thanks for the question and inspiration you provided for the video)
Im having trouble importing data from my another sheet. Its quite big, has over 500 rows and to 100 columns. (I dont know if thats important but it has about 50 sheets, I want to import from first biggest one)
Importhtml and importdata take too long to load and then say that source is too big.
But what I want is importrange and that says internal error all the time.
Do you have any advice how can I import my data? Maybe even how to change source so it can be imported from?
Sheet I want import to
The function to use is IMPORTRANGE
=IMPORTRANGE("XXXXXXXXXX";"Prices!A1:AJ")
(where XXXXXXXXX is the sheet ID)
Pro tip
But what I want is importrange and that says internal error all the time.
A good practice is to first link the two sheets by using a very small range like:
=IMPORTRANGE("XXXXXXXXXX";"Prices!A1:A3")
and then change the range to meet your needs
=IMPORTRANGE("XXXXXXXXXX";"Prices!A1:AJ")
Try coupler.io.
It has a free plan and allows to COPY the data from one spreadsheet to another on a schedule. It means you can split your calculations, make heavy ones on one spreadsheet and then copy results to the one when you work with them.
It also allows to import from CRM, financial apps etc, but your case is covered with GSheet -> Gsheet import.
First post on Stack Overflow! I have minimal IT/Dev background, and I was just trying to learn how to data scrape using the Import XML function in Google Sheets to get a little experience with the function and I've ran into a speed bump, hoping you can help!
I've been successful in my attempts to pull the data I would like so far, but there is a tiny amount of information I would also like to extract, but can't really figure it out thus far. I can see the information in Google DevTools. (Screenshot attached)
The data is stored in the Class definition line and it defines the time Last Seen, accessible one of two ways.
URL : https://us.tamrieltradecentre.com/pc/Trade/SearchResult?ItemID=11807&SortBy=Price&Order=asc
Desired function from ImportXML would be to pull the text, or the URL Extension - With the information of one of those two pieces of information
Thanks for your help!

Red Circles for Values I Would Like To Import
You want to retrieve the values of "Last seen" like "1 Hour ago" from the URL using IMPORTXML.
When I checked the site of the URL, it was found that at the URL you want to use, the values like "1 Hour ago" are put using Javascript. In this case, unfortunately, that cannot be retrieved using IMPORTXML. Because IMPORTXML cannot evaluate Javascript.
I've been working on building a data analysis sheet, which is quite verbose at the moment and a bit more complicated than it should be as I've been trying to figure this out. Please note, I work doing student data in a school.
Basically, I have two sets of input data:
Data imported from a CSV file that includes test data and codes for Common Core Standards and the questions tied to those standards as a whole class summary
Data imported from a CSV file that includes individual scores by question
I am looking to construct 2 views:
A view that collates and displays data of individual standards per student that includes a dropdown to change the standard allowing a teacher to see class performance by standard in a broad view. The drop-down is populated dynamically from the input data (so staff could eventually dump data and go directly to reports)
A view that collates and displays data of individual students broken down by performance on each standard allowing a teachers to see the broader spectrum for each student. The student drop-down is populated from Source list 2.
I have been able to build the first view, but am struggling with the second. I've been able to separate the question codes and develop strings of cell references to the scoring data, including a dynamic reference to the row the selected student's score data appears on in the second source set from above.
I tried to pass through an indirect() formula into a sum() so as to process for a mean evaluation, and have encountered errors. I think SUM() doesn't process comma-separated cell reference lists from Indirect() [or in general] or there is something that I am missing to help parse it. Here is the formula I have tried:
=Sum(vlookup(D7,CCCodeManip!$A:$C,3,false))
CCCodeManip!C:C includes the created text (based on the dynamic standards and question codes, etc), here's an example of what would be found there:
'M-ADI'!M17, 'M-ADI'!N17, 'M-ADI'!O17, 'M-ADI'!P17, 'M-ADI'!Q17, 'M-ADI'!R17, 'M-ADI'!J17
I need these to be dynamic so that teachers can input different sets of standards, question, and student data and the sheet automatically collates and reports it in uniform ways (with an upward bound of 20 standards as I currently have it built)
Here is a link to the sheet I built, with names and ID anonymized. There's a CRAP TON of sub-tabs, and that's really just being able to split apart and re-combine data neatly without things error-ing out due to data overlapping, aside from a few different attempts and different approaches to parse the cell reference strings.
The first two tabs are the current status of the data views. I plan to hide a bunch of the functional stuff that is there to help pull data accurately.
The 3rd and 4th tab are the source data sets. 5th is a modified version of source data that allows me to reference things better, and I've tried to arrange the sheets most relevant towards the front of the set.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fR_2n60lenxkvjZSzp2VDGyTUO6l-3wzwaV4P-IQ_5Y/edit?usp=sharing
Some have a different approach? I am aware that I might be as far as I cn go with this and perhaps should consider scripts - my coding experience is a bit out of date and my strength is more with the formulas, but I can dig into things with some direction, if anyone can help.
Ok so I noticed something.
It seems the failure is in the indirect reference:
=indirect(CCCodeManip!C3)
The string I am trying to parse via indirect is going to be generated into something like this, dynamic from reference to other data:
'M-ADI'!M17, 'M-ADI'!N17, 'M-ADI'!O17, 'M-ADI'!P17, 'M-ADI'!Q17, 'M-ADI'!R17, 'M-ADI'!J17
The indirect returns the error that the above string is not a cell reference with the #REF code.
Can someone give me a clue as to what is causing this? I am going to dig into the docs on Indirect() from google and will post anything that I find.
Perhaps it is that indirect() can't handle lists, but only specific references and arrays, which may require me a to build a sheet to do the SUM formula on for each question set (?)
So I think I figured it out, but i Ended up parsing the data differently, basically doing the sum based on individual cell references and a separate sum formula, bypassing the need to do it all at once, it jsut makes my sheets a lot dirtier! I am eventually going to see if code could do it better if I need to, but this is closed for now.
Basically, I did individual cell references to recall scores in a row, then used a separate SUM formula, and created references / structures to be able to pull those sum() results. Achieves the same end, but with extra crap on the sheet.
I'm pretty new to using Excel/Google Sheets as I've never needed it in previous jobs. This query isn't for a work project but for a personal record to keep information I want to record clear and concise, Kind of like keeping books for a business I am trying to record various income's and outgoing's in the form of "points" (Maybe Google Sheets isn't the best "free" tool to use) that will show how many "points" someone has accrued, How they earned them, and What if any they have spent them on, It will also be recording some cash transaction as well.
I have 2 sheets currently and I am trying to add all the data for a single person from 1 Sheet into the "Points Total" column on the other sheet taking into account what they have earned and what they have spent.
I'm not sure how else to explain it really, Here is my current butchered (seriously) formulae:
=sum(C2:F2), - 'Point Purchases'!C2
Link to the Google Sheet in question
You are mot that far off. Just remove the comma.
=sum(C2:F2) - 'Point Purchases'!C2
