Whichever the case, a clumsy workaround might be to pull in the XML for batches of people in different spreadsheets or tabs, and then aggregate them using the ImportRange function e.g.: =ImportRange("SPREADSHEET KEY - IDENTIFIES ANY PUBLIC SPREADSHEET, INCL THE CURRENT ONE", "Sheet2!A2:F42") From http://ouseful.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/visualising-financial-data-in-a-google-spreadsheet-motion-chart/ : "What ImportRange does is pull in a range of cell values from another spreadsheet. In this case, I’m pulling in ... data from Sheet2 (but using a different spreadsheet key, I could pull in data from a different spreadsheet altogether, if I’ve made that spreadsheet public)." tony Hi Mat

=ImportRange(“SPREADSHEET KEY – IDENTIFIES ANY PUBLIC SPREADSHEET, INCL THE CURRENT ONE”, “Sheet2!A2:F42″)
