How do I refresh Importxml data?
There is no automatic refresh of content with “New Sheets”; changes are only evaluated now in response to edits. While Sheets no longer provides this capability natively, we can use a script to refresh the “import” formulas ( IMPORTXML , IMPORTDATA , IMPORTHTML and IMPORTANGE ).
Why do I have to reload importxml every time I open the sheet?
When updating the output, the script erases everything below the first row, to make room for new data. So you can’t have much else on this sheet, other than importXML. Put the rest of logic on other sheets. Alternatively, one can modify the script to keep the first N rows unaffected, and use the rows starting with N+1 for imported data.
How often should I run the importxml function?
I have a large sheet with around 30 importxml functions that obtain data from a website that updates usually twice a day. I would like to run the importxml function on a timely basis (every 8 hours) for my Google Spreadsheet to save the data in another sheet.

This causes a “refresh” * of the “import” functions.
Where to place importxml formulas in a sheet?
Place any importXML formulas in the first row of a sheet and precede them with a backtick, so they are not recognized immediately: This doesn’t do anything on its own. But when the command “Update imported data” is executed, it will place the actual formula (without backtick) one row below, so it is executed.
