Everyday I get a .xlsx and I'd like to read the newest cell data in the same column daily. Every week a new row is added so the cell that needs read will change.
I think I can figure out how to daily transfer the xlsx from my Gmail to my Google Sheet. Just reading the data is where I'm struggling.
Hi
Assuming you have created the automation to take the data from your Gmail to drive, then you can extend the automation to do the following:
In the Google Sheet set up menu, map the Google Drive file id
The when it runs, it’ll get the data from the spreadsheet that just being uploaded to Google Drive.
I haven't set the automation to move the file from Gmail to Drive yet.
The challenge is the file is nearly the same everyday, I don't want all of the data. I just want the data from the cell that is on the last column and last row. Which the last row will change once a week.
Maybe I'm overthinking it and will try your method tonight.
Hi
cc:
Beware the GSheet Find Rows actions will return a max of 10 or 20 rows depending on which is being used.
I only want to capture data from one cell. That cell can change everyday.
Can you provide a screenshot of how the XLSX file is originally formatted?
Interested to see how the XLSX is formatted before I offer a possible solution.
What column do you need the data point from? (Perhaps you can outline a specific example with real values.)
