How to reference the same (row,column) on the different tab in the same google spreadsheet document?
So, I want to do something like this:
=SOME_FORMULA('First tab'!(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()))). This doesn't work.
If the formula isn't apsolutly referenced, entries of Google Forms questionnaire change the reference and mess up the formula. (the formula that looked at row number 5 after insert looks at row number 6) I can't use apsolute referencing ($A$1) because I have to enter it manually.
Can I change the reference on multiple cells? (for one I can use cmd + f4)
I had that annoying reference problem too. If I understand correctly you are trying to get the information on some cells, but every time someone sends information to the spreadsheet by filling up a Form, that reference moves down a row.
The best solution I came up with was to create a new SpreadSheet and import all the information with this:
=importrange("spreadsheet-key","Form Responses!A1:B2107")
That function updates the info in realtime, so you can do all the processing on the new spreadsheet.
Hope this helps.
Do not quite understand what you need. Need to reference a cell in another sheet given coordinates on the current cell where it is located?
If so, the following formula can be useful:
=INDIRECT("First tab!"&ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN()))

I would like to create a formula in my Google Sheet where I put the name of any person in one cell then the data related to that person/'s should populate against that cell (in a single cell only)
I'm attaching an image for reference
Request to share the possible solution for the above problem.
Thank you
I tried Vlookup but it is not showing up all the details and not working as well.
=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF($E$2=$A$2:$A$12,$B$2:$B$12,""))
I tried the above Formula but it didn't work.
VLOOKUP just returns the first occurrence, altought you can use TEXTJOIN and FILTER to make that. Take a look at that:
=TEXTJOIN(", ";TRUE;FILTER(B2:B12;E2=A2:A12))

I have a very large Google Sheet spreadsheet that I need help with.
I have a long list of Network Switches that are very often repeated that I am trying to automatically copy the associated SKU into a separate adjacent cell.
My goal was, once the SKU is added the first time, whenever the same switch is added again, it will autopopulate with the same SKU.
For instance, C2461:C2463 are repeated, and once K2461 is populated, would like K2462 & K2463 to follow suit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You can try this formula on Column L (col L will serve as a helper column):
=iferror(arrayformula(VLOOKUP(C2:C,C2:K,9,False)),"")
For now I can't seem to fit the formula without the use of a helper column (so I created a separate sheet for now that will serve as a database for the VLOOKUP formula) but this should get you started.
Sample using a helper spreadsheet (Database):
=iferror(arrayformula(VLOOKUP(Database!A2:A,Database!A2:B,2,False)),"")
Output:
I'm working on a Google Sheet to perform analysis on the cyclomatic complexities of the software under test. There's multiple projects, and I've been assigned to, and completed analysis on, one of them. I wish to extend this Spreadsheet, such that, when a user hits "Add Sheet" button, they can create a sheet ready for data insertion and analysis.
The format of the sheet
Thus far, looks like this:

Strategy
I know that it's possible (as I have done from experience!) to create a container-bound Google Script to create Sheets. I just don't know how to create a button to do so, let alone at the Spreadsheet level.
Business Requirements
The header row should be copied over and formatted
Custom cells (in the "Already unit-tested?" column) should be insertable, and the "FALSE" one should be inserted on row creation
formulae for average complexity,standard deviation,median complexity,number of files computations should be inserted on spreadsheet creation and update upon row creation/state change of rows
I'm not sure the way to go about all this, let alone the score of this user story.
I’d put the button on a sidebar and in that case it can be any kind of html button you wish.
I'll try insert a menu in my spreadsheet, here you'll find custom menu documentation.
just create a function like newSheet() and trigger it when button is pressed.
for the first row and the format you can use srcRange.copyTo(destRange).
use a drop-down list for the "Already unit-tested?" column using data validation
and for the formulas just type in the formula and use range.setValues().
I have a running parts order list that several people use. I am trying to have the top row be a form so the user enters Qty, Part #, and Notes and presses Enter. I want it to add a row to the top of the sheet below the headers and maintain the table structure so we can filter.
Instead of using the top row, go to Tools then create form. This will make it easier to input stuff. Also no one can muck up your sheet.
Also I would read what you can post here :) I like to be friendly so I thought I'd put an answer
You should read about Google Apps Script. GAS is the easiest way to read/write data in Google Spreadsheet/Docs/Forms.
So as far as I understand from your question, you need to insert a row in Google Spreadsheet below the header directly as soon as the forms.
Step 1: Open the spreadsheet using openById(id)
Step 2: Get the worksheet in which you want to save your Google Forms data using getSheetByName(name)
Step 3: Insert row before specified position using insertRowBefore(beforePosition)
So final code should look like this.
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1BZuYFCnN_g9vn5crxbPeYlhUKwH6N3u0uT8LCmm-neM");
var sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName("Nov-2017");
sheet.insertRowsBefore(2);
The code above will insert only one row below spreadsheet headers. There is an alternative -> insertRowsBefore(beforePosition, howMany) if you want to insert multiple rows at a specified position.
Try this and let me know if you find any difficulties. Hope this is what you're looking for.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. As background, I built a simple UiApp using GAS that I use to populate a google spreadsheet and a calendar with entries about events including time, date, location, etc. I've had it working for awhile but I want to keep improving it and I have a few questions about format and functionality.
1.) I now want the script to copy the information to a second spreadsheet, I've established how to do this, but the second spreadsheet already has some columns in use that I don't want to override and I don't want to just place the info from this Ui into the first 'X' number of columns, is there any easy way to essentially "copy these 5 columns to the first then skip and column and bring in the rest". Here is the code I have for the copy action right now:
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ssID);
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow()+1, 1, 1, 20).setValues([[new Date(), eventTitle, eventDateFrom, eventStartTimeb, eventEndTimeb, eventLocationName, eventLocationCity,eventActivity, eventLeadContact, eventNSLContact, eventContactAttending, eventDepartment, eventStaff, eventMaterials, eventCost, eventIncentive, eventMSTarget, eventSolar, eventNotes,eventRegion]]);
Also, in the same vein as this question, I've been wondering if it is possible to write something that will choose when an entry is copied to the second spreadsheet based on the value of one of the elements. For example, if eventStaff=0 or is blank, the script will copy the designated information to first spreadsheet but not the second.
2.) Date format: I added two listboxes for to capture event time start and event time end and I would like them to show up in the spreadsheet formatted as 00:00 AM/PM, but have only accomplished to get 00:00:00 or whole number so far.
3.) Using multiple elements to fill the location and events portion of calendar entries. This script works to create a basic event with start/end time and a title, but I'd like to use some of the information to fill in the location and description of an event. Is there a way for me to do this or do I need to concatenate those fields into one in able to enter them in the event creation. Current event creation code:
cal.createEvent(eventTitle,eventDateFrom,eventDateTo);
Sorry for the wall of text, if any clarification/additional code sample is needed just ask. Thank you in advance for any help/insight you might be able to provide.
Please don't be offended but I'm afraid your questions are more general programming question than GAS question, by formulating the question you almost answer it by yourself (question 1).
As for question 2, have a look to Utilities.formatDate and you'll get what you want, see also this.
Question 3: see CalendarApp documentation, createEvent, there is a set of optional arguments that suits your needs. - best regards,
