What does the function =IMPORTRANGE() do in your Google Sheets document?

The =IMPORTRANGE() function in Google Sheets is used specifically to import a range of cells from a specified spreadsheet into another spreadsheet. The user must provide the full URL of the source spreadsheet and the range of cells to be imported (e.g., "Sheet1!A1:B10"). The first time this is done between two sheets, the user must grant permission for them to connect.

B. Imports data from another sheet in the same document: To do this, you simply reference the sheet name directly (e.g., =Sheet2!A1), no special function is needed.

C. Imports data from a CSV file: This is done through the user interface via File > Import, not with a cell function.

D. Imports data from a website: This requires other functions, such as IMPORTHTML for tables or lists, or IMPORTXML for specific data points.
