I've got a Google Sheet that has product info, including links to images for each item that's saved to our Google Drive.
Here's a sample Sheet.
The images are also shown on the Google Sheet. This allows people to see the items when they're using the Sheet, and also they can print to PDF or whatever.
If it matters, the way we're showing the images is by using GS's "Image" function with a link to the file.
However, some people have use cases where they want to export/save this info to an Excel file, but they still want the images shown.
Is there any way to do this with Google Apps Script or any other method? I've already done some research and couldn't find a lot of info on this.
I understand what is going on now. I tested your file in an online excel viewer. The issue you are having is that your images are not pasted into the Google sheet. They are being fetched from Google Drive using the URL of the image in Drive and the formula:IMAGE(URL). Excel does not have that IMAGE formula. So it gives you #NAME? error,because it can't understand the formula.
I reccommend you go through this answer for how to replicate the IMAGE() function from Google Sheets in Excel.
I'm attempting to build a monthly process that converts an excel file to a PDF with bookmarks for each respective sheet. I'm not seeing a method to successfully create PDF bookmarks from within the Excel workbook. Can this be accomplished without third-party software?
What I've tried:
Using Header 1 for a cell as well as an entire row.
Putting Excel Book Mark within the file using a hyperlink reference.
Adding named range.
OneDrive flow Convert File
Adding a Header.
Reviewed some VBA Ref libraries hoping to find an object.bookmark type approach.
Unfortunately, all attempts have resulted in a PDF file with no bookmarks.
Is there a method to create PDF Bookmarks from Excel? Possibly a VBA ref library that I am unaware of or some front-end trick? Unfortunately, I'm stuck working only with Microsoft tools. Adobe's Excel Add-On does exactly what I'm trying to achieve.
I have a workbook that's been working perfectly for months. It fetches data from a google sheet using Power Query, imports it into Excel where some manipulation takes place. This week it has started simply importing the raw XML from Google sheets and it broke my whole spreadsheet.
The Google Sheets Data is published to this URL:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSKZgwPTi5cHOQEIREZSt6DT5j10jV8YGM_qNpQKibA_3bqG0WTmhgBf5qpEGQtVZbZtyG0qjz17QuK/pub?gid=0&single=true&output=csv
When I import it into Excel is simply shows as this:
Found this solution in Google forum, worked for me:

in my organization we work with Google Apps but we have one file that we need to maintain in Excel due to its complexity. All my other spreadsheets are Google Sheets and a lot of them need to get data from that excel file. So my question is: is there a way either trough google scripts or excel publishing to get data from an excel file in Google Drive to a Google Sheet?
I know all about the other direction, Google to Excel, but Excel to Google is proven more complicated. Any help would be much appreciated.
im giving you an algorithmic-level answer without code because you also have none.
with apps script you can import the xls to drive as a new spreadsheet at regular intervals. then, copy its contents to a fixed spreadsheet (replacing previous content).
other spreadsheets can read from that fixed sprradaheet with scripts/importrange etc.
I am trying to import data into an Excel spreadsheet from a published Google sheet. I have published the Google sheet and copied the URL.
When I try and use that URL in my Excel spreadsheet, either with VB code or by standard Data Get External data From Web it asks me to log-in to Google. How can I get the data without having to log-in.
You can select in Google Sheets to publish as a CSV file
Then in excel use Data -> import FROM TEXT (not from web)
Paste in the link to the google sheets csv file
This should read and recognise the file, you will need to configure headers, and the Comma as the separator, format etc
Then finally one it has been imported if you go to Data -> connections you can change refresh times etc
If you are willing to use an add-in, you can have Excel and Google Sheets stay in synch.
Data Everywhere makes add-ins for Google Sheets and Excel that allows you to sync data between Google Sheets and Excel. You just highlight the data you want to synchronize, and both your Excel spreadsheets and your Google Sheets spreadsheets will always be in sync.
You can get it at Data Everywhere, or from the Google Sheets Add-in store at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/data-everywhere/foenaaepondggfpfonagpmdaggmpdeel?hl=en-US
Unfortunately, this add-on no longer works.
