I trying to see my app retention month by month but it is impossible in firebase and in google analytics, how can I do it ?
Like you can see it is day by day
And I want something like this but not by week
I was looking for this too and was baffled that it didn't exist "out of the box". But you can do the following:
Inside Firebase Analytics Dashboard:
Click "View more in Google Analytics" (unless you already are at the Google Analytics webpage)
Now from left-side panel press "Explore"
Click "Blank" (will create a new "Exploration")
Next to the "Free form 1"-tab there should be "+" sign, press it
Click "Cohort exploration" (1. in image)
Now change "Cohort Granularity" to Monthly (from Daily/Weekly) (2. in image)
Voila! Bit of a pain but it works...

Issue:
I have a Google Form, let's call it "Stock". The form simply records new entries of stock into the Google Sheet "Stock Form Responses". In this sheet, there is a field called Stock Number which has to be unique. In order to cut out human error in the process of assigning a new stock number to the rows of data added through the form, I have created a very simple formula in a cell:
=max('Stock Form Responses'!B:B)+1
This does exactly what I need it to do, and tells me the latest stock number, and adds one to it, ready for the next addition via the form. I then use this code in another cell (G9 of the sheet called "Control"), to pass that number to the prefilled form link for my form, like this:
=concatenate("https://docs.google.com/forms/MYFORMLINK/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.465281926=",D10)
This is where D10 from the Control sheet stores the previous calculation of what the next stock number should be.
All of this works great so far, and everything works fine.
Problem:
Google Sheets has this really annoying feature where you can't just click a link in the sheet, you have to hover over it and then click the attached link. It's frustrating, and I'm trying to simplify and clean up steps. I simply want to pass the URL stored in G9 to an action attached to a button, let's call it AddStock. How do I do this?
I've been trawling the internet for hours trying to work it out, and can't seem to figure it out myself (admittedly I have very limited coding understanding, but people keep talking about popup blockers, etc).
I have inserted a chart into a Google Doc, but would like to make it update automatically instead of having to manually open the Doc and press the floating update buttons.
So far I have found no way to do this beyond writing a script to replace each one every time - which I have not yet felt strong enough to do.
How can an embedded chart be updated automatically?
Google Docs doesn't support the proper way of linking and embedding objects like MS Office does. I haven't seen any real solution as yet.
I found several answers from this forum you might want to try:
Using XML Gadget for Charting:Steps if you would like to try out;
Go to your google spreadsheet (or googgle form data).
go to Menu>Insert>Gadget
click "chart" & select chart you like & "add to spreadsheet"
key-in all the chart setting required by the Gadget
click "apply & close"
After the chart populated, point your mouse to the left corner of chart, click "gadget"
You'll see "Get Query data source"-item a
and "Get XML" - item b
click the item b, example "http://www.google.com/ig/modules/image-bar-chart.xml"
Go to google "site" and "insert" > "more gadget"> "add gadget by url"> paste the item b, http://www.google.com/ig/modules/image-bar-chart.xml
You'll need to provide the data source in the pop-up windows, paste the link of item a and key-in all necessary setting. (refresh interval 1, 5, 30mins- set here)
save & done.
Using ARRAYFORMULA to make sure that the charts would be updated with the new information. Sample is in this site.
I'm not entirely sure if this is useful but since you're doing scripting, you might as well check Read and write data in Firebase from Apps Script.
Found a hint at github:
Yes, that is correct, published charts in Google Sheets only update 5 minutes after a change was made.
Hi I am trying to make a spreadsheet with Button formed through shapes (using Drawing tool) and then assign script to it, to track Start time and End time. Basically the two button side by side would say Start and Stop, when you start working, you click the button and the start time would get recorded and when you click the Stop button it would record the time then as Stop time. I was reading the script tutorial and it said that now() argument is not allowed, is there any other way to do this on Google Sheets, because in Excel it is pretty simple.
Google Apps Script is based on JavaScript : new Date() is the equivalent of now()
Your idea is not bad but these button are not fixed, they move with the page whenever you scroll down...
I'd suggest using the sidebar available in new (standard) version of spreadsheets to place your 2 buttons and the corresponding results.
You can use HTMLService or UiApp to build a pretty user interface in the sidebar.
Currently I know there are ways to insert the google calendar(the month view) into a google site with a script but is there a way to insert a view that displays only one day or a week?
Thanks,
Loren
It is possible in Sites to manually insert a Calendar view that defaults to Week or Agenda views. You can do this by:
Going the Sites page you want to include the calendar in and selecting 'Edit page'
Select Insert > Calendar
Select the calendar(s) you want display (or paste in their web addresses) and clicking 'Select'
Selecting Week, Agenda or Month in the View select box, making any other option selections and then clicking 'Save'
Adjusting the positioning of the calendar in the page and then clicking 'Save'
It is also possible to use Apps Script to write a web app that displays calendar information, and embed the web app into Sites. This would allow you to create a customized display of calendar or other information, if you desired.
There isn't currently a way to add gadgets or web apps to a Site programmatically with Apps Script -- that has to be done manually.
So I want to get these Top Ranking lists from the website App Annie which recording ranking information from the itunes App Store on to a standard excel file.
Here is the link: http://www.appannie.com/top/
Each app listed on the Top Paid, Top Free, Top Grossing are all linked to the apps details page. I essentially want to get these top 100 lists on a excel file. I do not want to manually type in the day by day rankings.
But I have no idea how this could be done.
Also if anyone knows a source that simply provides an excel file with the daily App Store rankings that would be even better.
Thank You.
I had luck pasting from the page as a refreshable web query.
In Excel 2010: Go to Paste > Refreshable Web Query. In the window that pops up, load your desired website, and then click the arrow in the top left in order to select the whole page. Then click import.
The resulting paste isn't exactly pretty, but once you remove the garbage from the top and the bottom you have a fairly workable result.
