How to validate data in cells with dropdown for preventing enter same values in two neighbour cells?
Spreadsheet test link
For my experience it's impossible to enter custom =myFunction() in the cell with data validation.

I have a "Main page" in my spreadsheet that allows you to search for chemicals and returns some information on any match found within the source data. I want each result to have a link that the user can click that will open up a sheet with some more detailed information on the particular chemical clicked. Is this possible?
Example - clicking F5 would link to another sheet that would fill in cell A1 with "Carbon Monoxide" but clicking F6 would instead fill in the cell with "Nickel Carbonate"
You should first make a list of all search items along with the links of the desired page, then in column G use vlookup to get the link based on the name from column C.
Now in column F use the Hyperlink function to generate a clickable link say
=HYPERLINK(G5,"See More")
Can use arrayformula for entire range.
I'm looking for a way to eliminate checkboxes from a multiple-choice grid after someone submits a form. The multiple-choice grid option allows the user to select any box from any row and any column.
for this example, I have a 5x5 grid and if a user selects one or more checkboxes from any column or any row I would like for the form to show only the boxes that are available after each form submission.
so if row 1 column 2 is checked and submitted, the next time the form is viewed it should show row 1 column 2 as unavailable. How can I accomplish this using Google Forms and Google Sheets? Is there a formula that is needed in sheets that will get the desired results?
Your goal is not possible because when using Tick box grids you can only set or eliminate a whole row/column. The methods setRows(rows) and setColumns(columns) from the class CheckboxGridItem will accept an array of values to build the Tick box grid, there is no method to set/eliminate an specific checkbox/value.
As a recommendation, depending on your project and what your final goal is, you could have the checkboxes directly in your Spreadsheet.
For Google sheet workbooks that have several sheets, I create a Table of Contents sheet that lists all of the sheets in the workbook to increase ease of use for users.
I have looked for an add-on, macro, or script that can speed up the process. No dice. Any ideas for how to automate the process of creating a new sheet that lists the names of all of the other sheets (One sheet name per cell) and then automatically links the cell to that sheet?
Just to expound, this is a great solution except it will not update when you add new tabs or rename/ reorder current tabs. The only solution I could find is to create a simple checkbox trigger.
First I added a checkbox on my Table of Contents tab page. Then I added the script above except, instead of SHEETLIST() in line one I added my checkbox's cell number - for example, SHEETLIST(B3).
Then, I put the formula; in which populates the two columns of data - Name & #GID. In another cell (with plenty of room to list all the tabs) I put the top =ARRAYFORMULA... (not the one with the VLOOKUP) but, again, instead of empty parenthesis after SHEETLIST() I input my checkbox's cell number in both places, like below:
=ARRAYFORMULA(HYPERLINK("#gid="&
QUERY(INDEX(SHEETLIST(B3);;2); "offset 1");
QUERY(INDEX(SHEETLIST(B3);;1); "offset 1")))
I then hid the columns with the NAME & #GID data so you can only see the hyperlinked Table of Contents.
Now, whenever I update my tabs I just click the checkbox and it forces everything to reload. Not completely automatic/ dynamic but the best solution I could find.
I'm having some trouble with this exercise, I have a data validation list in a cell (A,B & C) and also 3 sheets with those names. What I'm trying to do is to link the value of that cell so I can be re-directed to the Sheet that has it's name in the cell
What you are trying to do is impossible - data validation items cannot be linked to a browser action.
One possible workaround would be to create a range with each cell containing a hyperlink formula with the name and url of the sheets you want to link. Then you would create a data validation based on this range and users could click on the link after selecting from the dropdown.
I have a dynamic flextable which I would like to use to export into a spreadsheet. How do I pull specific values from the flextable so that I can plug those values into a Google Spreadsheet? Some of the cells are just text, some are TextBoxes.
It is a 3 by 3 flextable (ultimately) that can be filled with a number of items based on the buttons selected by a user.
I wish I could show the code, but the project is super confidential and I can't show anything on here. Sorry!
