I want to use importrange to pull in just the high/low data during a specific time of the day, ignoring the rest of the days update. Specifically from 8:30am to 2:50pm weekdays only.
=importhtml("http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/aapl"&"?"&"workaround="&INT(NOW()),"table")
So for example, I only want to pull in the specific data starting at 8:30am and ending at 2:50pm
The =importhtml() function doesn't have the have the ability to filter data. The query parameter is for:
query - Either "list" or "table" depending on what type of structure contains the desired data.
You can import the data, then run a =query() on the imported data, using the range that the imported data is displayed in.
That URL only has one table in it, and it's not the data for the aapl stock chart. There are 8 lists in that web page, but none of them are for the data in the aapl stock. You aren't going to be able to scrape that chart with =importurl()
The chart is in a <canvas> tag.

I have a spreadsheet that has a lot of sheets of data grouped by category. I have a main sheet that I want a user to be able to choose which categories of data to use, and it will pull that data into one long list.
Here is an example spreadsheet of what I want to do: LINK TO SHEET
I could combine all the data into one spreadsheet, but if I were to do that with the dataset I am working with, I would have tens of thousands of rows. So, having the data stored on separate sheets is preferred. I am open to having separate spreadsheets altogether if that will make it easier. Currently, I have tried Using INDIRECT and QUERY, but can only get the first sheet of data to show.
I would prefer to stick to normal functions, but could jump into appscript if I need to create a custom formula
I have tried using INDIRECT and CONCAT, and can get the first set of data, but not subsequent data. Also tried wrapping it in a query like this:
=QUERY({ARRAYFORMULA(INDIRECT(CONCAT(A2:A,"!a2:z100"))},"select * where Col1 is not null",1))
Splitting it up into separate spreadsheets, I was able to use the function:
=QUERY({ARRAYFORMULA(IMPORTRANGE(B2:B,"A1:Z10"))},"select * where Col1 is not null",1)
But it also would only pull the first set of data, not the subsequent rows.
All of this was me first attempting to get the information, not getting the information filtered by the sheets that were checked as well. I am pretty familiar with appscript as well and open to appscript solutions, but would prefer to stay away from it if possible.
You do not need additional column. Use REDUCE() with few other formula-
=REDUCE(HSTACK("Dataset Name","Data 1","Data 2","Data 3","Data 4"),FILTER(A2:A,B2:B=TRUE),
LAMBDA(x,y,VSTACK(x,QUERY(INDIRECT(y&"!A2:E"),"where A is not null"))))
I am reading from a google sheet of 100,000+ records but I want to load only the records after a certain date. ( so applying filter ) . But I haven't been able to accomplish that as I do not know how to access the column name without using foreach.
Here is what the data looks like from the googlesheet
So basically, I would like to filter the records something like this.
Timestamp ge '10/13/2021' so it will only return records for 10/13/2021 and 10/14/2021... etc.
Is this possible to do that? If not, what is the best recommended way to approach this issue as i just wanted to load daily records to sql db in the next step.
The Get rows action of the Google Sheets connector doesn't support filtering. You can only specify how many rows you want returned, and how many rows you want to skip. E.g. if you have 100,000 rows in your sheet, you can easily get the rows between 90,001 and 90,200, should you wish to do so.
While you can't use this connector to retrieve filtered data from Google Sheets, you can use the Filter array action to filter the retrieved data as you wish.
You might still need to use the For each loop to retrieve and filter data in chunks.
I am relatively very new to the google sheets and excel, there is a task I need to perform.
I have a google form, that is taking user response and storing Data in a google sheet, the values are textual verbiage and I want to change this to corresponding numerical data.
What I have tried so far is, I have created a new sheet and with the help of query function I am storing this data into a different sheet, Is there a way to write a query function in a way, with the help of IF statements where it converts the data into numerical values.
The query I am using to fill the data in the next sheet.
=QUERY('Form responses 1'!A1:AF)
Is there a way where I can modify this query and get the result like this in the next sheet?
where value of "you slightly feel this way." should convert to 1
and value of "you somewhat feel this way (and somewhat not)." should convert to 2
or what is the other way to achieve the same result if not the queries?
I have two sheets:
SheetA contains dates. It is the reference data.
SheetB contains dates and data on events that occurred on those dates. This sheet is updated regularly.
I am using IMPORTRANGE in SheetB to pull data from SheetA.
I sometimes need to insert rows into SheetB. For example, sometimes two events occur on the same date and I need a row for each.
However, when I insert a new row into the imported data in SheetB the new row is automatically filled with IMPORTRANGE data from SheetA.
I think there may be a solution with ADDRESS but I can't figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated!
As long as IMPORTRANGE returns a single array of multiple rows you are not going to be able to split those apart at all easily. Your best bet may be to convert the array into a standard range (Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Shift+V) and start the process all over if the source changes.
You might be able to combine two ranges (one from each sheet) in a QUERY that you sort by date.
I'm currently working with Google Sheets to import data from Contact Form 7 in Wordpress. All the data is coming over fine, but I wanted to see about formatting it in more user friendly fashion. I've simplified the example a bit, but the gist of the form I have created allows the user to request multiple versions of a graphic file with different wording as needed, up to 5(my example has just 2 for simplicity sake).
All the data is imported using the CF7 variables and ideally I wanted to clean this up a bit. What I had thought of as a solution was creating a second sheet that pulls in this data submitted in the first sheet into a more user friendly format, as I intended to use this as a work form for a designer to create the requested graphic once the data is received. With each request the name/department/email/date all stay the same, but I'd like to display the version and line 1 and 2 data on another line. Is it possible to reorganize data like this on the fly, so when a new form is submitted and adds data to sheet 1, sheet 2 would then update with the properly formatted info?
Is this even possible to do? I did some looking online, but didn't anything that really related to this type of data manipulation.
Solution:
Here's what ended up working for my example
=ArrayFormula(QUERY({
Sheet1!A2:D,Sheet1!E2:G,ROW(Sheet1!A2:A);
IFERROR(LEN(Sheet1!A2:D)/0),Sheet1!H2:J,ROW(Sheet1!A2:A);
IFERROR(LEN(Sheet1!A2:D)/0),Sheet1!K2:M,ROW(Sheet1!A2:A);
IFERROR(LEN(Sheet1!A2:D)/0),Sheet1!N2:P,ROW(Sheet1!A2:A);
IFERROR(LEN(Sheet1!A2:D)/0),Sheet1!Q2:S,ROW(Sheet1!A2:A)
},"select Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5,Col6,Col7 where Col5<>'' order by Col8",1))
Yes, it's possible.
One way is to use arrays and the QUERY function.
For simplicity, let say that
Columns A and B have the general information of the order
Columns C and D have the data for version 1
Columns E and F have the data for version 2
Columns G and H have the data for version 3
On the output sheet, add the headers.
Below of them add a formula like the following:
=ArrayFormula(QUERY({A2:B,C2:D,ROW(A2:A);IFERROR(LEN(A2:B)/0),E2:F,ROW(A2:A);IFERROR(LEN(A2:B)/0),G2:H,ROW(A2:A)},"select Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4 where Col3<>'' order by Col5"))
References start on row 2 to skip the headers to avoid to include them on the output sheet.
ROW(A2:A) is used to keep the order
IFERROR(LEN(A2:B)/0) is a "trick" used to "hide" the order (general information) data for the second and following rows for the same order. On the select parameter of the QUERY function, it's referrey as Col5 on the order by clause.
It's assumed that lookup-choice-1 will never be empty.
NOTES:
If more columns were added, the column numbers should be updated accordingly
Don't use the order by clause to sort the result by the general information columns because the "trick" to hide the "labels". If you need to apply a sort, do it' before applying the above formula, you could do this by sorting the source range through the Data > Sort range... feature, so the data is sorted before it's transformed by the above formula.
