You may be filtering and sorting a big dataset in a Google Sheet and want to see that dataset in another Google Sheet without having to copying and pasting the data each time the "source" data is updated. To solve this problem, you need to somehow import the data from the "source" worksheet to your "target" worksheet. When the source worksheet is updated with new sales or customers data, your target worksheet gets updated as well. On top of that, the data that shows up in your target worksheet should be filtered so you only see the data that you need and matters to you.
The key to doing this is the IMPORTRANGE() function in conjunction with the FILTER() or QUERY() functions. I'll go over two methods for importing data from another Google Sheet and talk about the pros and cons of each.
