How frequently does the importrange
function refresh and reload the source data?
By default, the IMPORTRANGE function recalculates every 30 minutes (source).
ImportRange formulas: 50 cross-workbook reference formulas. ImportData, ImportHtml, ImportFeed, or ImportXml formulas: 50 functions for external data. Maximum string length is 50,000 characters.
Sheets will update the data automatically at up to 1 hour intervals , using the IMPORTDATA() function, which is very similar to IMPORTRANGE().
Never.Spreadsheets update external api only onOpen(). But there is no documentation and this may change in the future.
Functions that pull data from outside the spreadsheet recalculate at the following times:
ImportRange: 30 minutes
ImportHtml, ImportFeed, ImportData, ImportXml: 1 hour
GoogleFinance: may be delayed up to 20 minutes
Opening the spreadsheet refreshes all the functions.
