import_sheet_tsv
Server-side parse + write of TSV (tab-separated) text.
destructiveGoogle Sheets, Docs & Drive
Use this to dump SP-API report previews, clipboard pastes, or any raw TSV blob directly into a sheet without pre-splitting on the client. The server splits on newlines then tabs, trims trailing empty rows, and writes every cell as text (RAW): '14' stays the string "14" and formulas are not evaluated. Use write_sheet when the values must be numbers, dates or formulas.
