Yes, the IMPORTRANGE function in Google Sheets allows users to import data from other spreadsheets. This can be useful when you need to consolidate data from multiple sheets or when you want to use data from another spreadsheet in a different project. The syntax for the IMPORTRANGE function is as follows:

=IMPORTRANGE(spreadsheet_url, range_string)

Here, spreadsheet_url is the URL of the spreadsheet from which you want to import data, and range_string is the range of cells that you want to import. The range can be specified in the standard A1 notation.

Note that when you use the IMPORTRANGE function, you'll need to grant access to the source spreadsheet. The first time you use the function, you'll be prompted to do this. You'll need to click on the 'Allow Access' button and follow the prompts to grant access. Once you've done this, you'll be able to use the IMPORTRANGE function to import data from the source spreadsheet.
