    Omggg, I am feeling trigged with this video. It's giving me anxious. Google sheets devs please look here! Edit: if you try to use Query with more than 1 IMPORTRANGE combined, it doens't allow you to connect multiple gsheets... it must occur one by one. Let alone trying to create a custom array with IMPORTRANGE from multiple gsheets.

    For me the worst part is that you can't disconnect it. But yes, having to click allow every time if you have a bunch of spreadsheets is super annoying. There should be just a separate interface to manage connection to other sheets instead of typing the function to get the prompt.

    Agree with many things in your list, esp. the first three and those about script. I think it's these nuances that push me to write super advanced/complicated formulas, and probably scripting.

    re custom time triggers: an easy workaround is just to do an if/then in the functions. e.g. I have daily triggers that I don't want to run on weekends, so if it's Saturday or Sunday, exit the function. Or I also have hourly triggers that check to see if it's during business hours, etc. Still a pain, but relatively easy to work around.

    I use a one hour time trigger every day of the week. This script is linked to a sheet and looks in a control cell for the SI value. This cell returns yes or no, depending on the queries you have in the cells. Example: Table of Days from Monday to Sunday and in the right column I put a YES or a NO, depending on how I want the script to be executed that day. It is compared with the function now () and if it matches the day it is YES. Another table: Hours, The table will be from 0 to 24 hours and on the right is a YES or a NO , It is compared with the function now () and if it matches it returns YES. If there are 2 YES, the control cell returns YES and the script runs. In this way, you only have a script and you pass control to the google sheet user. It is not a perfect solution, but it does solve part of the problem. I hope it was helpful or to give an idea to make a video. Greetings.

    For the last, the Script Trigger Custom Time, when i write codes that i want to run in a specific custom date/hours, i write inside a code witch day must be allowed to run. And many times, i put triggers to run every day or hourly but inside a script code i program to let the code to run, in a specific day or interval period. Practicaly , i make a script inside function, to check after the code is triggered, the day and hour, and check if is the day or the period, or hour periods that i pre-allow it, if is not, end the trigger by return nothing. Hope this idea will help.

    Min 18 - you can assign security at each tab/sheet level in your other file from which you import. Or use an intermediary file which reads only what is allowed to share and you share the entire file.

    To remove Access you can just go to the original one and change the permission for the share option and the sheet will lose access, ( it happened to me by confidence , I give the ownership of the sheet to another user and I lost access to all other linked sheet )

    Any plans to do any guides on Google Advanced Sheets Service? I can't seem to find much on it, I'm trying to do faster batch creation/deletion of sheets within a spreadsheet. Just because it works doesn't mean that a script that takes 8 minutes to run is optimal. LOL.
