title: URL to Google Sheet Cell with New Cell Data
body: <p>I'm hopeful that some of you Google Sheets experts can confirm something for me. A URL to a Google Sheets cell or range is possible. Here is an example of a URL to a cell, D2:</p>
  <p><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/KEY/edit#gid=0&amp;range=D2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/KEY/edit#gid=0&amp;range=D2</a></p>
  <p><strong>What I'd like to do is include data to be placed in that cell using a URL.</strong> This discussion was useful, as it provided many of the available options: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23446449/google-sheet-embed-url-documentation">Google sheet embed URL documentation</a> . The following were incorporated into the URL in an attempt to put data in the cell: start and q. However, they did not work. <strong>Could you experts please confirm that cell data can not be incorporated into the URL?</strong></p>
  <p>By the way, this question comes out of an attempt to build a small inventory system within Google Sheets using QR codes. The QR codes would be linked back to a cell in Google Sheets where the QR code (URL link to the cell with item number included) would place the item number into that cell. With the item number in that cell, the item details would be shown.</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
