Focus on work that’s importantGoogle Sheets has more than 400 functions you can use to help speed up work. Voilà! Your data will appear in the new spreadsheet. It will ask you to “Allow access” when you see the #REF in your cell. Don’t worry! This security check makes sure you’re okay with granting any collaborators on this spreadsheet access to data that lives in another spreadsheet.

If it’s the first time you’ve imported data from that particular spreadsheet, a pop-up might appear. That’s important, too.Īfter you’ve added your IMPORTRANGE formula, you can click enter. Oh and another trick: don’t forget to add the exclamation point (!) before the data range. In my case, details from an invoice (customer name, invoice number, date, price, etc) to be duplicated onto a second sheet which 'lists' that information, in order (rows).

So for this example, the name of the original spreadsheet housing multiple datasets is called “Sales Revenue,” but the name of the specific tab with our data in it is called “Sales Revenue by Quarter.” We want to use the specific tab’s name to avoid our function breaking in the future when new sheets or tabs are created. I wish to input and save data onto an excel worksheet, in which certains cells then share/repeat the same data to be saved on another sheet. It’s important to note that you have to use the specific name of the tab in the sheet in the formula. =IMPORTRANGE(“","Sales Revenue by Quarter!A1:C10”)
