Where exactly do the Configuraiton steps take place? In the .rb file? Can't get this to work.... thank you!

I don't understand what "Then, redirect to Google Drive OAuth Page." means. What am I doing there?

@BritenyMuller: If you're referring to the things under Configuration title,

DASHING_TARGET_SPREAD_SHEET_ID should be set as your environment variable, like
$ export DASHING_TARGET_SPREAD_SHEET_ID=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
in your shell or put it in your shell profile (eg: .bash_profile)

Rest of the configuration can be found in google_spreadsheet.rb itself

Can someone please provide more information on how to get this up and running. I have setup as per the instructions. Created and entered in all the API's but all I get is a widget with nothing in it.
Elaborating on "Then, redirect to Google Drive OAuth Page." would help!
Thanks

@sjanett
If you can be installed correctly this widget, you should be automatically redirected to the OAuth authentication screen after opening the dashing dashboard in a web browser.
Please tell me the contents of the browser window or application logs.

@a-know

I keep having to re-download the credentials.json file, it only works once and then stops updating. Where exactly does it need to be placed?

Thanks.

@aazimh

hmm..., you said updating is view refreshing by dashing?
or, for example, dashing application restart?

@a-know

It's the normal updating through the scheduler. Here's the console output:

scheduler caught exception:

Any help would be appreciated!

@aazimh
Thank you showing your console output!

I don't know the cause yet, can you specify and use signet gem version 0.5.1 or 0.6.1 ?
It seems like to changed issued_at timestamp handling in signet-0.7.2 you using.

@a-know

That did it, wow! Thank you so much!

👍 👍

Worked for me....

Hello
It works for me

I have a spreadsheet and i would like to show only the today date ROW

Is-it possible and how please?

Thanks!

@dreamplay85

Hello!

I have a spreadsheet and i would like to show only the today date ROW

Well, if you modify this script, it seems to be possible, but it seems to be better to adjust by the spreadsheet.
For example, How about using the VLOOKUP function to set the number corresponding to today's line in a certain cell?

@a-know This isn't working for me. When I start dashboard, I got

Error: redirect_uri_mismatch

The redirect URI in the request, http://localhost:9292/, does
not match the ones authorized for the OAuth client.
Visit https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials/oauthclient/xxxxx5861-gi031vqvit2drtai0msk0bgg9i29ou1s.apps.googleusercontent.com?project=661296021234
to update the authorized redirect URIs.

@kenold
Excuse my late reply. 'OAuth 2.0 Client ID' may be called a service account now. Please check the IAM Management console.

I missed the OAuth page, so now my widget doesn't show anything. How can I re-enter the OAuth page. And any other reason why I can not see any number in my widget?

@NoriAbe
Hi. Thanks for your question.

You know, updating of Dashing itself has already stopped, and I am not using Dashing, so maintenance has not been done.
Therefore, I am sorry, but I cannot verify or investigate this question.
I'm sorry I couldn't help you.

This widget realized "displaying spreadsheet values ​​as a dashboard" is now based on Google Data Studio (https://datastudio.google.com/navigation/reporting?hl=en ). I think you can easily realize it with
Why don't you try it? :)
