I have data in one google docs. Call it docA.
I would like to reference this data in docB. Something along the lines of =docA!Sheet1!A2
How would I be able to go about this? I do not mind changing security settings and the like
First go to the spreadsheet that you want to import the data from (docA) and observe the value of the key mentioned in the URL (Eg: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=ABC#gid=0, in this case the key is "ABC").
Now go to the cell in docB and use the importRange function to import the data.
=importRange(, !:)
Eg: =importRange("ABC", "Sheet1!A1:B10")
If you want to import just one cell:
E.g. =importRange("ABC", "Sheet1!A1");
If you don't mention the name of the sheet, the first sheet is used.
