Jinji,
I actually tried the range parameters as well to no avail. Interestingly enough, I also tinkered with the sheet= parameter and changing it to ANYTHING (even a random string of characters) returns the same, initial sheet. Ok, so I'm thinking maybe I need to use the gid= parameter to indicate that I want to use something other than the initial sheet, so I follow these directions to get the gid: http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/spreadsheets.htm l Get this: the widget times out. Here's the gadget data source URL: https://spreadsheets.google.com/tq?range=A1:J8&key=KEYHERE&gid=2 Does this mean there's something in the data the API doesn't like? I even tried pasting that URL into a browser and I get a Google Doc's error. To answer your second question, my current query is: query.setQuery('SELECT avg(I) GROUP BY dayofweek(A)'); This is actually a simplistic version off the base sheet (since I realized that it is using the base sheet whether I tell it to or not...even with gid, it seems). What I want to display a line chart for average headcounts that has a different line for each day of the week, then have time slots (9AM,11AM,1PM,etc - which are in the sheet) along the horizontal axis. If there's a good way to query the initial datasheet (the headcount one below) to do that, I'm happy to hear suggestions on how that query should work. The sheet is here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AsqVfMJblf1VdDNYbDRzSVRIZWZtMzd wWnQtaXBJOXc&hl=en Thanks so much Jinji, despite all the roadblocks I'm finding, I'm learning a lot! -Adam Adam Traub | Systems Librarian | St. John Fisher College | [email protected] | (585)385-8382 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jinji Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2010 10:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [visualization-api] Re: Query Request Timing Out The second URL has a range parameter that contains only columns and not cells (A instead of A1). Could it be that this is the problem? As for your question if the range parameter is necessary, I didn't understand the question. Can you give an example query?

Any ideas?

So the URLs you initially posted don't qualify (they have "ccc" instead of "tq"). The new URL seems OK at first look. Do you still get good result for one sheet and timeout for the other sheet of the same spreadsheet, with the second URL?

I've handled those cells with an IFERROR(), setting those to 0. Unfortunately, the requests still timeout and I can't even get a gadget to display the data, which had a slightly different URL than those I posted earlier (https://spreadsheets0.google.com/tq? range=A1:J8&key=KEYGOESHERE&gid=2). Any ideas? Thanks!
