So what I'm trying to do is add images that show up next to certain cells while maintaining the ability to have a drop down that will sort through various columns. I want to add visuals because the community this is for speaks many different languages, and I want it to be an accessible sheet.
I've made an example of what I'm trying to do on this sheet with some placeholder images on the "Data" sheet. These images aren't carried over to the "Sorted Data" sheet. I know the query function on its own can't be used to bring images in from another sheet, so I want to know how I could get this kind of setup while maintaining images. This sheet is editable.
While looking for answers, I found this: Google Sheets Query Image to show up from Query result
It's the closest I've seen. I'm struggling, however, on how I might translate this to what I'm trying to do here in terms of sorting the data. I've also seen people say some functions don't work with a lot of images, only loading a few. I'm not sure how true that might be, but just in case it's relevant, there likely will be a lot of images on this sheet.
I'm completely open to anything I may have missed, any changes I could make, any other functions, and script if necessary.
query is not suitable for this job. use:
=SORT(FILTER(Data!B3:W500, Data!C3:C500<>""))
=SORT(FILTER(Data!B3:W500, Data!C3:C500<>""), MATCH(Z3, B2:2, 0), IF(AA3="ASC", 1, 0))
I have an object that dynamically changes color depending on some information from a server, and I want to have possibility to click on a specific colored part of the object. Please give me any tips and suggestions how can I implement this.
I recently took care of a working data sheet, with about 30 sheets of several thousand rows each sheet, with many cell colored for difference purpose. Most of the sheets only have raw data; a few working sheets have formulas / arrayformulas.
Here's a portion of my workbook:
In the red circle, you can see "Calculating formula....". This appears in my sheet very frequently, generally whenever I edit anything in any cell in any sheet.
I followed https://www.benlcollins.com/spreadsheets/slow-google-sheets/ which doesn't help much to my situation. yeah, all 27 of them.
Now what I want to know is, is there any way to know just what is Google Sheets doing during the time that "Calculating formula..... " bar appear ? So I can see whichever function / formula is taking my precious time and then improve it.
Edit --
Since I cannot share the sheet, at least I'll share the working formula so that you guys can figure what is the sheets doing.
These are to be pasted to get the input data when working. Result will then be value pasted again to data sheet. These formulas are only in the working sheet:
v
=VLOOKUP($D2,TEMP!$A$1:$AT$99,23,FALSE)
=VLOOKUP($D2,TEMP!$A$1:$AT$99,11,FALSE)
=VLOOKUP($D2,TEMP!$A$1:$AT$99,16,FALSE)
=REGEXREPLACE(TO_TEXT(VLOOKUP($D2,TEMP!$A$1:$AT$99,17,FALSE)), "^84", "0")
=VLOOKUP($D2,TEMP!$A$1:$AT$99,46,FALSE)
=VLOOKUP($D2,TEMP!$A$1:$AT$992,18,FALSE)
=CONCATENATE(VLOOKUP($D3,TEMP!$G$1:$AS$492,9,FALSE), ",", VLOOKUP($D3,TEMP!$G$1:$AS$492,10,FALSE), ",", VLOOKUP($D3,TEMP!$G$1:$AS$492,7,FALSE))
=VLOOKUP($D3,TEMP!$G$1:$AS$492,6,FALSE)
=REGEXREPLACE(TO_TEXT(VLOOKUP($D3,TEMP!$G$1:$AS$492,12,FALSE)), "^84", "")
This formula is used to set the status of the data -- only in working sheet:
v
ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISERROR(MATCH(E7:E10178,DonHangTraVe!A1:A20014,0)),IF(ISERROR(MATCH(D7:D10178,DonHangTraVe!C1:C20014,0)),IF(ISERROR(MATCH(D7:D10178,LAZ_Delivered!B1:B20000,0)),"","Received"),"Returned"), "Lost")))
This formula is placed in all of the data sheets. It will get the value in column E, turn them into links to their corresponding data in the server:
v
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ROW(F:F)=1,"LINK", IF(LEN(E:E)=13, HYPERLINK("http://www._____________________?key=" & E:E, E:E), "")))
Those are the main formulas.
There is this one formula in a sheet, but it is turned off by placing a value one cell below. (Not me. I'm still trying to figure this out. Even the sheet maker unsure why he did that)
=ArrayFormula(trim(concatenate(filter(indirect("AQ1:AQ500")&" "®EXREPLACE(indirect("AR1:AR500"), "Dòng sản phẩm tương thích:.+",""), indirect("G1:G500")=G1)&CHAR(10))))
I turned the last formula down by setting an if with a switch (Benlcollins idea) but it doesn't help much.
After looking at all the formula, I think maybe the problem of my sheet lie in the arrayformula which adds the link.. I will tinker with it for now.
Still, the question remain.. is there any tool / script / addon that shows what google spreadsheet has been doing under these "Calculating formula..." bar ??
On the side note, this sheet is not using any script, in case you wonder if there's anything in onEdit(e) ..
creating simple charts with BIRT is easy, but now I would like to bring some more life to them...
imagine a simple line chart. Let's define as a requirement, that the maximum value should be highlighted. A further requirement would be that if the user clicks on this data point, something happens.
How can I solve this?
I can imagine that I could created a second value series which consists only of the highlighted data points.
But it would be nicer if there was a JavaScript API (or even a server side java api) with which I could loop through the data points and add a highlight on the fly. Is this possible?
I think I've found a good starting point:
http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/devshare/designing-birt-reports/276-birt-chart-scripting-dynamic-markers-and-datapoint-colors/
Now I have to find a way to add on click events to certain data points...
I know the idea is to make the text somehow hard to read for the users but still they complain and I've seen how the control used here in stackoverflow doesn't have the dark circles contrasting with the text in recaptcha.
How can I replicate this?
Thanks.
You can't.
If you want more control over how the CAPTCHAs are generated, you may want to take a look at different library.
