I have a Google Sheet that I'm wanting to overwrite data on every day with a HTML link download that will also require a login and password to access. Is there a way to use Google Sheets scripts to accomplish this? For Example. I'd like to import and overwrite starting with cell A1 with the first csv file, BA2 with the 2nd csv file, and DA2 with the third csv file.
For the last year I've had to manually download, and manually import these files each day for our reports to show up correctly.

Is there a way to extract data from google sheet's work sheet, to a specific dropbox folder, in CSV format? Additionally, previously created CSV file must be re-written / replaced whenever new data is added to work sheet. Basically, I need a one-way sync from sheet to a CSV file in a dropbox folder.
I'm setting up a file comparison in google sheets. One file type is an excel sheet sent to my email on the first of every month. The other file type is a .txt file autosaved onto my computer in a shared network from an app I have, and that one is saved every hour on the hour. I need the user to be able to click the button connected to the script, and give them the file explorer so they can pick the proper file. Any file they would pick is in the same folder, they just have to pick the one with the timestamp they want.
The excel sheet is already auto-uploaded into the drive and auto-uploaded into the file comparison. I can't figure out how to give the user the option to select the second file they want to upload (the one coming from my shared network) with the push of a button, other than having them manually click "file, import, import from my computer..."
Is there a way to do this?
I am trying to import about a 15,000 row csv file to a google sheet that we use.
I thought the import csv would work but i can figure out how to write it to make it work.
any help would be great.
to clarify i am trying to get a raspberry pi to update it via python.
upload your csv file in google drive. right click on csv file and select open with google sheets. it will load your csv data in google sheet and you can also download as xlsx in google sheets
I have a list of customer names i would like to import into my spreadsheet from a CSV file. Preferably every hour.
The IMPORTDATA function works fantastic for this kind of operation.
The problem is that i don't want to store a CSV file with peoples names publicly. What would be your best suggestion to importing a CSV file to Google sheets without storing it on a publicly accessible URL? As i understand it there's no way to get Google Sheets to work via FTP?
You could store it in your own Google Drive.
From there you could handle the import with Apps Script instead of import range
I am trying to modify the following script, which saves a selected range to a new CSV file on Google drive.
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/articles/docslist_tutorial?hl=en
Please see: Section 3: Saving a selected Range to a CSV file
I would like to however append an existing CSV file with defined (named) range that I already created on Google Drive - I don't want to be prompted for its name. If and only if the CSV file not exist, then I want to create the new file.
This script should run via time-drive trigger (so that it runs automatically every minute and saves required range into csv file)
I would greatly appreciate your help how to modify this code.
