Disable auto refresh?

I want to make a dashboard that pulls data from another sheet, but I only want to update it once a week. Is there any way to delay the auto refresh?

    I depends on how the sheet functions. If the sheet is web form based, then it is a relatively straightforward matter to do this. If you are editing values and modifying rows, it becomes much more complicated. What does your sheet do and how is it modified?

    The options for auto-refresh on a dashboard are (in minutes)

     

    1

    2

    3

    5

    10

    30

    60

    .

    Unfortunately there are no other options. This includes not having the option to even just turn off the auto-refresh and manually do it once a week. It is a good idea though. Feel free to Submit a Product enhancement Request.

     

    In the mean time... Can you explain your process in more detail? There may be a way to structure the data itself so that it only pulls one week at a time.
