Google spreadsheet API, 400 error bad request : unable to parse range

Question

I am trying to access Google spreadsheets using a spreadsheet example. When I run the example code it worked fine. I just change the SpreadsheetId and range

Answer 1

If you look at the sheet itself you will notice that the Worksheet is titled "Class Data". So just put the name of your sheet where is says "Class Data". Example: String range = "SheetName!A1:C";

Answer 2

String range = "Class Data!A2:A4";

The Class Data is your worksheet's name, FYI: the name on the tab at the bottom, the default one is "Sheet1". Replace Class Data with the one you want to work with.

Answer 3

Try replacing Class Data!A2:A4 with A2:A4

Answer 4

I ran into this error when I had a typo in the name of the tab. In your case "Class Data" didn't match the name of the tab

Answer 5

I was trying to add some data to a sheet named Emmett that did not existed yet and was receiving this error:

Error: Unable to parse range: Emmet!A2:C12

I had to manually create the sheet named Emmett in the spreadsheet and then it worked like a charm.

Answer 6

In my case there was an extra space in the google sheet while I was trimming the sheet name at my end. Once I removed the trimming logic, everything worked fine.
