Set-up

I have 2 Google sheets.

Sheet 1 imports a cell value from Sheet 2 using the IMPORTRANGE function.

The cell value in Sheet 2 is updated automatically each day, 365 days a year.

Sheet 1 contains data on 1 month only.

Issue

I need to create an IF formula using the IMPORTRANGE in Sheet 1 such that the cell value in Sheet 1 keeps the data from the last day of the month if the current date is a new month.

E.g. on February 1, the cell in Sheet 1 needs to display the data from January 31 and not from February 1, even though IMPORTRANGE imports the cell value from Sheet 2 which will contain data on February 1.

Pseudo formula

So, if Sheet 1 is about January, the formula in the cell in Sheet 1 should be something along the lines of,

IF(today(month())=1;IMPORTRANGE(Sheet2_url,cell_range);DONTCHANGEVALUE)

How do I go about?

  • I need: If the condition is NOT met -> do NOT change cell value. Not sure how =eomonth would help with that? – LucSpan Jan 6 at 14:25
  • The IMPORTRANGE part isn't really necessary. I suggest you to add some sample date directly into the question as well a link to a demo spreadsheet shared with anyone with the link to view only. – Rubén♦ Jan 6 at 15:54
