How to mass duplicate queries from one sheet to another in the same document

With Dataslayer you can mass duplicate queries from one sheet to another in the same document!

Imagine we have a document with separated sheets: one sheet per month. Every month we want to duplicate the same queries we had in our other sheets, but with the new date range. It's easy! You can use the duplicate option on our add-on, and build every query individually, or you can mass duplicate all the queries from that sheet.

Before starting with this process, please close the Dataslayer extension. To keep it opened during this process could cause some functionality in the UI of the sidebar to fail, or certain buttons may not work correctly. We will notify you when you can open the extension again, after step #6.

Make sure that you have ready the new sheet in which you are going to mass duplicate the queries.

Open the DataslayerQueries hidden sheet on the document.



Copy-paste below all the rows in the DataslayerQueries sheet that contain the queries of the "January" sheet



Delete all these columns on the new copy-pasted values:



Fill in manually the new sheet name and range.



Change the DataslayerQueries sheet columns "N" and "O" to the new date range you want.



At this step, you can open the Dataslayer extension again. To keep it opened during this process could cause some functionality in the UI of the sidebar to fail, or certain buttons may not work correctly.

When opening the extension, we will automatically add a new Query UUID to each one.

Click on "refresh all queries" in the Dataslayer sidebar or refresh each query individually (It will work also when a trigger refreshes the queries).



Now all the queries are working! See the results:



It's done! You've mass duplicated all the queries you had in the "January" sheet to the new sheet: "February".
