Hey everyone! I’m struggling with something on my website. I want to add a Google Spreadsheet, but I only need to show certain cells. The problem is, I can’t figure out how to get rid of the title at the top and the stuff at the bottom. I’ve tried a few things in my iframe code, like adding ‘chrome=false’ and ‘widget=false’, but they didn’t work.
hey there! i’ve run into this before too. have u tried using custom CSS to hide those parts? u can target specific elements in the iframe and set ‘display: none’. it’s a bit hacky but works pretty well. just make sure ur iframe has a unique ID or class to target. good luck!
I’ve been in your shoes, and I found a neat trick that might help. Have you considered using Google Apps Script? It’s a powerful tool that lets you create a custom web app from your spreadsheet data. You can select exactly which cells to display and format them however you want.
In my experience, I started by opening the Google Sheet and choosing Tools > Script editor. I then wrote a simple function to fetch the desired range and deployed it as a web app. This gave me a URL to embed, showing only the cells I wanted—no headers or footers, just clean data. It took a bit of learning, but the extra control is really worthwhile.
If you need more details, I can share some code snippets. This approach has really transformed my projects.
I’ve encountered a similar issue previously and found a practical workaround. Instead of relying on iframe parameters that only partially hide unwanted elements, I switched to using the Google Sheets API. This approach lets you request only the specific cells you need and then display them using a custom HTML table. Although this requires setting up API access and some JavaScript coding, it gives you complete control over what appears on your web page. The extra initial effort is balanced by the flexibility and precision in presenting your data.
