Google Sheets – How to Perform a Reverse Lookup Using a Spreadsheet Key

google sheetsimportrange

I can't figure out where the data in an IMPORTRANGE function is coming from.

How can I use the spreadsheet key to find the the original spreadsheet IMPORTRANGE is pulling from?

A Google spreadsheet URL looks like the following

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mPqoaJW75FlHI_nCIZ-O9MBaTQ5Y58HGf0bdzFMKd-Y/edit

Just replace 1mPqoaJW75FlHI_nCIZ-O9MBaTQ5Y58HGf0bdzFMKd-Y by your own spreadsheet-key.

An alternative is to use

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1mPqoaJW75FlHI_nCIZ-O9MBaTQ5Y58HGf0bdzFMKd-Y

The same apply, just replace the file id by your spreadsheet-key
