Let’s take a two-sheet Google SpreadSheet as an example and will show you how to share only the sheet named “Summary” with one of the team members. The solution is a bit tricky, but works well and easy to implement. This workaround is very useful for schools, a small-scale business where they want to share individual sheets with particular people. The beauty of this web application is more than one member can work on this document at a time an ideal solution to draft your school project with your team. Google lets you create, work and share these office documents with your teammates or office mates with a valid Gmail account. You can use this workaround to share individual tabs of a Google Spreadsheet with separate members from your team. Whenever you make any changes in the Primary Google Spreadsheet tab, the secondary sheet values will automatically update with primary table values. Now you are done with the Google Spreadsheet tab sharing. This step protects new Google spreadsheet users from altering the share link that may expose more information than you intend to share. ![]() Click on Share button > Share with others window > Enter Gmail address of your team member > Change the access from “Can edit” to “Can comment”. You have to define the limited access to your team members. Step 5: Provide Your Members’ Limited Access to A New Google Sheet # You have to take care of the styling and renaming the secondary sheet as per your requirement. This trick will import only the values from the primary sheet. The secondary sheet will import the values now from the primary Google SpreadSheet specified tab/sheet. Now you will see on A2 “#REF! and hover your cursor on top of it and click Allow Access. Don’t forget to insert the ‘!’ after sheet name and ‘:’ between row letters in the function. In this function, the URL is the same that we got in Step 2, Summary is the tab or sheet name from Primary Google SpreadSheet, and A & F are the cell ranges that you want to share. In our example, we inserted the following URL and press Enter once you complete it. =IMPORTRANGE(“sheet (primary) share link”,”share sheet name!share range start column: share range end column We chose row A1 to type Spread Sheet heading and used row A2 to insert the function. IMPORTRANGE (spreadsheet key, range_string) We are going to use a function called “IMPORTRANGE” The syntax is:. Well, in this step we are going to import the required individual Google sheet from the primary document to a new Google SpreadSheet (secondary) that you created in Step 3. Step 4: Import Google Individual Spreadsheet to A New Google Sheet # There is no need to type any data inside of this sheet at this point. Just go to Google Sheet application window and create a new spreadsheet with a valid name. This is the sheet you are going to share with your team. ![]() Now you need to create a new spreadsheet to share with the user. Step 3: Create a New Google Spreadsheet (Secondary) to Share with Your Team Members # Alternatively, you can get the same link from File Menu > Share > Advanced > Link to share. To get the Google Sheet share link from the main screen, click on Share > Advanced > Link to share. If you miss this link, you can always come back to this screen and get the share link. Keep this link saved in notepad or somewhere for future use. Once you complete the above step, now you will be back on the “Sharing settings” window and you can copy the link from the share window. This step is critical since you are going to expose the share link with your team and you have to make sure they won’t be able to access your entire spreadsheet with this shared link. Chose “Off – Specific people” from the next Link sharing window and click on Save button. Now you will be on the ShareSettings window, click on “Change” link. Now click on Advanced from the “Share with others” window. Open the required Google spreadsheet (we say primary sheet) and click on the Share button on the right top corner of the document. You can change this access and limit only to certain members that you allow. ![]() Google documents can view in public or viewable to anybody with a share link. This step is very important since we are going to use a link to share the primary document with another user. Step 1: Protect Google SpreadSheet (Primary) to Limit Access to Specific People # We are going to discuss a solution to share only a particular sheet from a multiple sheets Google Spread Sheet. Google SpreadSheet may have multiple sheets, and there is no easy solution to share these individual sheets with your team members. ![]() You can limit their access to the document on a different level like view/comment/edit etc. By default, Google allows sharing Google Docs or Google Sheets to other users with a valid Gmail ID.
