Stormys Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have been working on a google docs and it is using the formula importxml. The importxml use to work and now its seems to always give me either loading... or #N/A. I am looking for help on fixing this problem. If you have either a fix in either formula based or google apps script(prefered) then you would be a life saver :) =ImportXML("http://services.runescape.com/m=clan-hiscores/members.ws?clanId=31085&pageSize=15&ranking=51","//span['name']") Above, I provide the exact formula.

Hedgehog Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I get this error a lot. It appears to be google's fault. Nothing you can do about it, just wait for it to work again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is back and working now. Great to know I can count on google docs >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormys Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 A second question, how do I have my importxml auto-refresh update like every minute instead of every hourish(i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedlas Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I use a trick to get around that, basically you add a random, changing variable to the URL in a way that doesn't effect it.I use =INT(GOOGLECLOCK()/TIME(0;5;0))&GoogleFinance("GOOG")which should never be the same twice and change every minute at minimum.So put that in a cell, let's say B1, then you would change your formula to be:=ImportXML("http://services.runescape.com/m=clan-hiscores/members.ws?random="&B1&"?clanId=31085&pageSize=15&ranking=51","//span['name']")It will still give the same results, but should force it to stop caching and update every minute.
