Automatically sync copied google spreadsheet with original spreadsheet

Viewed 620

After making a copy of a google spreadsheet, I would like to have the copied spreadsheet automatically sync any changes made to the original spreadsheet. Is this already being done? If not, how do I make it so?

The syncing is only one-way -> from original to copied.

It will be a hassle make copies of the original spreadsheet whenever new changes are made.

  1. To start, open up the spreadsheet or tab you want to copy to the new Sheet > copy the sheet’s URL
  2. Make a note of the cells you want to import
  3. Open the new sheet where you want the data to appear In the cell begin to type > =IMPORTRANGE (you’ll see the code as you begin to type)
  4. Type > quotation “ (very important) then paste the URL from the sheet and add another quotation mark at the end of the URL
  5. Then add a comma , > quotation mark again “ > then type the exact name of the specific tab you want to copy followed by an exclamation mark!
  6. Finally, type the range of cells you want to import eg: A1:A19 followed by “ quotation marks
  7. Press > Enter and your data will now appear in your new Sheet
