I would like to run a Google Script that will scan through a list of Google Sheet's and create an Excel Spreadsheet copy of that Google Sheet...
Is that possible ?
I will have the Google Sheet's listed in a spreadsheet with the Google Sheet Reference.

I have created a local excel sheet in Microsoft excel in which i have used some formulas. I have hidden all the formulas used in it. But when i open the sheet via Google sheets one is able to see all the formulas clearly.
Is there any way we can hide the formulas from anywhere the sheet is opened.
As Player0 commented here, using importrange produced an error:
You don't have permissions to access that sheet.

What to do
01 Convert the xlxs file into Google sheet file, by going to File > Save as Google sheets.
02 Get the ID of the converted sheet and use it in the importrange formula in the shared spreadsheet in A1 like this.
=IMPORTRANGE("Converted_spreadsheet_ID", "Converted_spreadsheet_SheetName!=1:1000")
I get every day an Excel Sheet from another department. Now I need the Excel Sheet as a Google Sheet.
Manual it is possible to change Excel to Google Sheet, but can I do this automatically maybe with a time trigger (once a day).
The new excel list should be exported in Google Sheets.
Thanks in advance!

You can change settings in Google drive which will automatically convert uploaded excel files to google sheet.
I need to convert a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to a google spreadsheet, but the Excel sheet is made by linking to external data, which I have no access to. The values are still visible on the Excel sheet. When I import the Excel sheet to google drive and convert to a google spreadsheet, all values are '#REF!' because it can't of course find the source of the data. I can copy/paste the values from Excel to a new google spreadsheet, but that destroys the formatting. So is there a way to copy format and values from an Excel sheet to google spreadsheet, preferably with google apps script so that I can automate it. (it has to be done on a daily basis)
You should use Excel itself, to replace the formula linked values with plain values first. You can then import that excel file into google drive if required. Here's a link from Microsoft showing you how to do it: replace formula with values

Can Excel retrieve data from a Google Spreadsheet? When I open Excel file.. some fields in it need information from a Google Excel spreadsheet.
Thanks!
Yes, it's possible to do this in a basic way without doing any programming:
Ensure your Google Spreadsheet has been "Published to Web"
In Excel, go to the Data tab and choose to create a new web query "From Web" − paste the link that would have been copied to your clipboard when you published Google's sheet
Your Google sheet will now appear inside Excel.
First set the google sheet to "anyone with link can edit". Then download the google sheet as .xlsx. Copy the url of the download, paste it in Excel's get data from Web module. Tada!
