Hi Rick, I'm following your instructions and although everything appears correct, I'm getting the following error when running the script.
"API call to youtube.videos.list failed with error: No filter selected. Expected one of: chart, id, myRated, idParam (line 49, file "Code")"

Line 49 in the script is an exact copy-paste from your article as follows:
"return YouTube.Videos.list('contentDetails,statistics', {'id': videoIds}).items;"

Any thoughts on why this error would occur?

Some of the other posts here answered my question. This is an example of hitting the limit of 50 requests to the API.

Since the Named Range is 999 entries long, perhaps Rick could update his script to iterate through 999 entries in chunks of 50?
