I have several tabs on my Google Sheet being populated via import range.

Today, I noticed that data will randomly disappear from certain ones. The data is still visible in the actual Google sheet, but in the Glide data editor and the app front end, the table is missing all of the fields. On other import range tables, it’s working flawlessly.

It seems to be randomly losing the data and then randomly getting it back at some point. Any idea what might be going on?

Now I’m also noticing sluggish app performance. Maybe issues going on with Glide? No issues according to [https://status.glideapps.com/](https://status.glideapps.com/).

Is that importrange in your header row? There’s a sync issue with importrange in header… if it is put importrange on row 1.

I was going to say the same, but from the screen shots it looks like the headers remain intact and only the data goes missing.

If the headers are fixed, then the only thing I can think of is there might be an intermittent failure with the importrange. And if Glide happened to sync at a time when the sheet was empty, then that would explain the result.

Yes, my import range in already on Row 2.

I’ll just keep an eye on it and see if it continues to happen.
