Google spreadsheet API, 400 error bad request : unable to parse range
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. It started giving me:
Exception in thread "main" com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException: 400 Bad Request

"code" : 400,

Below is the code:
String spreadsheetId = "my spread sheet ID";
String range = "Class Data!A2:A4";
ValueRange response = service.spreadsheets().values()
.get(spreadsheetId, range)
.execute();
Try replacing Class Data!A2:A4
with A2:A4
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";
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.
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.
