Update a single cell in a Google spreadsheet

Hello,

I’d like to update a single cell in a Google spreadsheet (with the timestamp of the most recent data update). This cell is within a big matrix of several data which makes it impossible to update a whole row. The node only offers options to update a whole row. Also this post Update specific cell in Google Sheets based on column and row - #2 by ihortom reads, that there is actually no way to alter a specific cell, only.

I can not believe that there is no way to update a cell (without using a cumbersome extra sheet containing all data by rows. :slight_smile: So what is the gold standard to do this?

Thanks and best regards

Share the output returned by the last node

  • n8n version: 1.65.2
  • Database (default: SQLite): (where to find out within GUI?)
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker
  • Operating system: Windows 11

Here you go, this should work. Use the HTTP Request node.
