Hi,  
Sometimes I get a bug in google sheets, where a new line does not start in the first colum.  
Every new line (in the image below) starts some +/-20 columns to the right.  
And the next line yet another +/-20columns to the right an so on.  
Does anyone has any idea what could be happening here?

Often it comes when you have done something else on that sheet.

Move that line to the beginning of the row.  
Place the cursor on the 1st cell to rest there.

If you have put things on the richt site of the incoming data it can happend that you have to clear it first and replace it later.

Thank you for your feedback.  
It did, however, not solve my problem.

Google Sheets is not really stable.  
One moment it’s works and for sometime good and then it’s very unstable.  
And why that is, is guessing.

Here it’s “Rate Limited” error.  
One tabblad now and then, the 2nd tabblad get that error mostly.

Google Sheets stopped working for me too. Was not aware of any issues, but all my flows which use Sheets show that since 19th November it has stopped working.

I tried to repair from within the App, but that just shows a spinning wheel.

There is another app for google sheets:

Since a few days now, I cannot get the Google Sheets to work anymore. It used to work just fine for well over one year. Has anyone got a clue as to what the root cause could be for this “400 Bad Request” notice?

Any help is appreciated!

Is there already a solution for the “Missing token” issue? I ran into these problems myself this summer.

(A built-in debug / log console would be great)

Use EasyJet Logger, does the same: [Easy Logger App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/no.bwa.easy-logger/Easy-Logger/)

Robert, where can I find those parameters? I’m not convinced to use EasyJet Logger. Looks more complicated than needed

I can’t get them to pop up as well (tried with laptop + Chrome browser).

However, with a small extra step, this works:

I had a lot of data in the file, over different sheets. The theory was that something somewhere just couldn’t handle the vast amount of data. Now everything is splitted into different sheets.

Works like a charm again, but less userfriendly than before.

Hi ,

Can someone here help me with this function I want automate but can’t find the howto?

I want to automatically multiply a variable with a value that is exactly one row up.

So, when adding a line 649 on march 5th, I would like to have a value in the 3rd column that is the SUM of a variable (today’s kWh) and the (yesterday’s) value that is already present in column 3, 4th row.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/5/253c4587a1658093ba203f5613874cb57e85d330.png)

Basically, summing up my daily energy consumption to obtain a total cumulated value.

anyone?

We are working on our PC, have a Gmail address, the Google Sheets app is installed on Homey and we are logged in.  
Writing to Google Sheets was going well, but it stopped today.  
What should we do to get it working again?

So Homey is writing to a Google Sheet? Do you get an error message in Homey if the flow is started manually?
