You can use the Google Sheets Browser Snap to browse the given Google Drive folder and list the spreadsheet names matching the provided name filter. The Snap also displays the worksheets within each spreadsheet.
Inputs without any format restrictions are accepted when the expression toggle is enabled and a Pipeline parameter is provided for the following fields:
Number of Retries
Retry Interval
Read timeout in seconds
Connection timeout in seconds
For an expression input, the value is evaluated and accepted if it meets the expression criteria; if not, then the default value is used.
You will find the Snap fetching all worksheets in the output, regardless of whether they are hidden or protected.
Known Issue
A long-standing bug​ in the Google Sheets endpoint does not allow the use of a colon ':' in the worksheet names; hence, these inputs are not supported.

Error
Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter while running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:
Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.
Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the rest.
Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.
Default value: Google Sheets Browser Example: Google Sheets Browser
String
Specify the name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your Pipeline.
Include Shared Drives
Default Value: Deselected Example: Selected
Checkbox
Select this checkbox to write files from the shared drive.
Deselect this checkbox if you do not want the Snap to write files from the shared drive.
Name filter
Default value: None Example: Filter1
String/Expression
Specify the GLOB pattern to look for spreadsheets having name patterns.
Fetch Mode
Default Value: Spreadsheets and Worksheets Example: Spreadsheets
Dropdown list
Choose an option to fetch the Spreadsheets. The available options are:
Spreadsheets and Worksheets: Fetches Spreadsheets and Worksheets within the Spreadsheet.
Spreadsheets: Fetches only the Spreadsheets.
Number of Retries
Default value: 3 Example: 2
Integer/Expression
Specify the maximum number of retry attempts that the Snap must make to read the worksheet.
Retry Interval (seconds)
Default value: 1 Example: 2
Integer/Expression
Specify the time interval in seconds for each retry attempt.
Snap Execution
Default value: Validate & Execute Example: Execute only
Dropdown list
Select one of the following three modes in which the Snap executes:
Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.
Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.
Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

Fixed an issue with the Worksheet Writer Snap where the Snap failed to write data correctly after each batch write. When the Write Mode is Create New Worksheet and Overwrite worksheet if it exists checkbox is selected, the cell data is shifted by five columns to the right after each batch in the resulting worksheet. Now, the data is written correctly in the worksheet.
Introduced the following Snaps:
Google Sheet Subscribe Snap that allows you to subscribe to the specified spreadsheet for notifications of the changes in the Google Sheet.
Enhanced the Worksheet Reader and Worksheet Writer Snaps with the Display Spreadsheet ID in Suggestions checkbox. You can select this checkbox to display both spreadsheet ID and the spreadsheet name in the suggestions. This helps you to choose among the spreadsheets having the same name.
Enhanced the Worksheet Writer Snap with the Write Mode dropdown list to perform the desired write option for the given worksheet—that is either create a new worksheet or append or edit an existing worksheet. You can write new data to the worksheet by specifying a cell reference as the starting point or append data to the worksheet at the last row in the worksheet containing content.
