Query specific sheets of a google spreadsheet

Ok, I have a solution for anyone who is interested, although it is not as sensible as I would have hoped

Thanks to the below blogpost

http://damolab.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/od6-and-finding-other-worksheet-ids.html

It seems that the id for specific sheets is the /od6/ part of the URL and od6 is the default name given to the first, default, sheet

In the above blog post there is an example of how to find out the IDs of specific sheets if you need. There doesn't seem to be a clean logic to it but changing it will spit out the data from specific sheets so it works.

I realize this is an old post, but I have been fighting this for a while. I made my own library to take care of this and I hope this saves someone many hours of research and playing with the google api. The general format is almost verbatim from the google documentation and I removed error checking to stay concise. What I could not find in the google documentation was how to query a tab that isn't the first one. I think this is what we are looking for here.

Based on what you already have, this should answer it.

table_name_here/gviz/tq?sheet=tab_name_here

As an example for all those that come after you:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17mbdvl1jVpqj42E3BSX34q9XUA2PbYubYKpVeypbHLA/gviz/tq?sheet=Sheet1This could be used as the table_string in the code below.

'SELECT *'This could be used as the query_string in the code below.

Within context:

function gimmeATable(){ var query = new google.visualization.Query('table_string'); query.setQuery('query_string'); query.send(handleQueryResponse); }

function handleQueryResponse(response){ var data = response.getDataTable; drawTable(data); }

function drawTable(data){ var table = new google.visualization.Table(document.getElementById('div1')); table.draw(data, {showRowNumber: true}); }

And don't forget to include the google api as well as package type. For this you only need a table.

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script> google.load("visualization", '1', {packages:['table']});
