I need to know whether you are using web query or not?
User
06/06/2018 - 04:38
I don't know what that means :) I'm using a query in Googlesheets, to pull in data from other sheets in the same googllesheet doc
Excelchat Expert

If it is a web query/ web scraping, then I can't help you with it since web scraping is out of our service scope.

I'm on the sheet, where is the query again?
User

The query is on the Do Not Edit tab, cell A:2. It was working, but not there is an error coming from the Barclays tab,
User
06/06/2018 - 04:42
so on Do Not Edit, cell A3 is pulling out all the information from the Barclays tab, rather than putting it on separate lines like the other tabs it pulls in
Excelchat Expert
06/06/2018 - 04:44
