How to have an RSS feed load in Google Sheets

If you would like to have an RSS feed in a Google Sheet, try the following:

  • Open a Google Sheet
  • In A1 paste in the URL feed of the RSS feed
  • in A2  put this formula in
  • =importfeed(A1,"Items Title",False,10)
This would put in the last 10 stories from the Feed. If you wanted to have more stories populate, change the 10 to a higher number.

To have direct links to the stories, do the following:
  • In the same sheet type the following in B2
  • =Importfeed(A1,"items url",False,10)
This is a great way to quickly see the latest feeds quickly and easily.

Take care,
Brad
