Open another Google Sheets in my Google Sheets App Script

[Guillaume VILLAIN]

(I'am french, my english is average)

Hello All

I have a Google Sheets file with functions.

In this sheets, I need to import data from another Google Sheet file (multiple tabs). 

I can't find a solution on the web. Is it possible ?

Thanks

Hello

 The "QUERY" and "IMPORTERANGE" functions allow this kind of import learn about these two nested functions.

Hi Guillaume,

I am english - my french is pretty bad!

As gilbert mentioned these are the two main functions that you can use for a non-editable copy of the information.

It depends on what information you want to get from the other google sheet file.

If you want to pull the data across from one to the other and keep the two sheets synchronised, then you can use the "importrange" function . This will give you only a one way synchronization from the original - if someone changes information there, the data will magically change in the second sheet.

If you want to make a snapshot copy of the data from apps script, you can do that as well. There are multiple ways you can accomplish this. You could push the data from the original sheet to the copy, or pull the data from a script on the second sheet using a relatively simple script. If that's what you need to do, then reply back and we can start from there!

Hello Gilbert and Laurie

I can use IMPORTRANGE directly in my google sheets but I was looking to open a sheet in the code.

I found 2 functions and it's ok now ;-) : 

-  SpreadsheetApp.openById(ID)

- SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(url)

Thanks for your time :-)
