My skill level with Google Sheets is relatively basic. I am looking for a way to highlight specific data in a cell if it is not present in another. Below is an example of that:
Under 'Verifier LPNs' there is a row of numbers that 'Shipper LPNs' has not scanned yet, so I need the shipper to be able to see this so he can quickly look for the LPNs he is missing. In this example he is missing '112255'.
Any way to perform data validation on the cell but only to highlight data missing as shown in the example in red?

Im struggling with my users putting data into google sheets incorrect. I need to know if there is anyway to set conditions to how users input data in google sheets? ie a watermark in the cells guiding them on how to enter data eg.YYYY-MM-DD
Any other ideas on how to guide users to input data correctly into google sheet are also welcome.
there is no such thing as watermark but there are ways...
add column before date column and use this formula and drag down:
=IFERROR({"", "yyyy-mm-dd"})
then use conditional formatting:
then hide column:
then use data validation:
then use internal pre-formatting:
final result:
I've created a list in Google Sheets that lets the user easily apply custom filters by either entering a search term or selecting an item per column as well as sort by some criteria. Since the document is supposed to be used by multiple people without Google accounts, I'd like anyone to be able to browse the list and apply criteria as straightforward as using Filter Views. However, if I were to publish the spreadsheet as it is now, the filter settings would naturally apply to every viewer of the document.
Is it possible to let viewers use the filters without manipulating the results for the others?
well, for that purpose alone, there was created the "black filter view"
which is local and does not influence original dataset at all, as it does the "green filter view" which acts as global for all users
so now the only obstacle is unawareness of this, of the majority Google Sheet users because black filter view needs to be triggered by each user on his side.

I think this is the first time I've not managed to find what I'm looking for via the search.
I have recently started a project to increase my understanding of Excel/Google Sheets. This project is something I will be doing in my own time with no financial gain.
I am however having some difficulty with my formulas. What I'm looking for is a nudge in the right direction or maybe an example from someone more experienced than me. I have linked a Google Sheets document below for anyone interested in helping me with my formulas.

As you can see my formula in the "results" cells will search my "Dishwasher data" sheet and pull all the relevant data through to the correct cell. While this was completely intended (took me ages), I would like to add a second alternative criteria to my search.
While I want to be able to search by "product code" I also want the ability to search by "Model number", as an alternative means of searching and pulling the data through. I have tried a few different things like using IFERROR instead of ISERROR etc. I just cant seem to figure it out.
Part 2:
The second stage of my project was to have a more advanced search tool. You will see the "tools" under "list searches".
Example 1, I want to be able to search and display a list of all models under or equal to "X dB", the list should be displayed under D13,J13 and below.
The more complex of the two "advanced" searches would be the decor panel height. Displaying all models where the "customer decor panel height" is between the max and min the appliance can support. So a <=Max >=Min formula, but I still have no idea how to form a list with all "viable" options.
I'm assuming some sort of FILTER can be used possibly?
Again this ties in with my first formulaic issue, I do not understand how to have optional or alternative criteria in a formula that can both be displayed in the same cell range.
Any help on this would be much appreciated!
Thank you for your time!
I left some comments on your sheet regarding using list of items rather than typing in values.
I've made a copy of your sheet and can lookup things via model number or product code.
I used this in the product code lookup
=If(A4>0,vlookup(A4,'Dishwasher Data'!B:I,1,False),vlookup(A7,'Dishwasher Data'!A:I,2,FALSE))
This looks at cell A4, if it has data, it looks it up, if there is no data in A4, it will lookup A7 instead (Model number)
This formula can be repeated in the sheet and adjusted.
For the filter on the noise level.
Put this somewhere and enter a noise level.
=FILTER('Dishwasher Data'!A:A,'Dishwasher Data'!H:H <=A11)
At the moment it's only returning the Model number.
If you wanted the whole table, change 'Dishwasher Data'!A:A to 'Dishwasher Data'!A:I
Here is my demo sheet.

I'm in great need of help. I've a form which asks basic questions and puts the results into rows of an existing spreadsheet.
Specific data from those responses are "promoted" to 2nd, 3rd and 4th tabs based on IF formulas on tabs 2+ checking the value of a pull down selection on in the corresponding row on each previous tab. (Waterfall)
My challenge is - forms data is inserted into a new row (Does not use existing) and if I set the pulldown value to "Approved" on the first tab, the formulas on the second tab which were contiguous now skip the row where the form data was automatically entered.
I suspect I need to learn how to properly use ArrayFormula, etc, but have not managed to fix this looking at existing examples combined with my IF statements.
Help is appreciated. Sample is here. Safe to ignore the first and last tabs.
Thank you.
You can try using an open-ended range with ArrayFormula. For example, the formula on "2-Pipeline" in cell D3 could be:
=arrayformula(IF('1-IdeasReceived'!U2:U="Approved",'1-IdeasReceived'!L2:L, ))
The ranges U2:U and L2:L should pick up all rows in those columns, even after you've had forms submitted.
Since this is an ArrayFormula over column ranges, you only need it in cell D3; it will inject CONTINUE formulas down the rest of the column.
Warning: Your spreadsheet is combining dynamic row content (e.g. pulled from another sheet) with static content (e.g. "Environment, Health & Safety" column on "2-Pipeline" sheet). This is bound to result in misalignment if rows are added or deleted in the middle of the source data.
I'm having a bit of problems creating a DataGrid with a header label AND a text box (at this point I'm not even entirely sure this is possible).
Here's what I want to do:
I need to dynamically create a table (the number of columns can and will change, so the grid needs to be created dynamically and cannot use bindings specified in the XAML code or similar). All the columns however will always be text columns.
Because those will be text columns, I'd like to add a text box to each header to enable simple filtering of the data in the DataGrid. I don't want to add extra text fields to OTHER parts of the Silverlight page, as I want to keep things as compact as possible. Also, since the number of columns is dynamic, adding a large number of text boxes above the DataGrid wouldn't look too good either. ;)
Also, if possible, I'd like to keep a label in each header to display the names of the columns as well.
So far I've tried adding the a TextBox as the Header of a DataGridTextBoxColumn but when I do that in a very simple Silverlight project, the whole DataGrid won't show up.
Please help.
EDIT:
I saw the answer to this question: placing a text box inside the silverlight data grid column header
However, the answer itself didn't give me much to go on (the example is too short, and I'm not too good with XAML yet), and the code on CodePlex just adds extra fields to the Silverlight page. None of it tackles the problem of dynamically creating the DataGrid.
OK, here's what I did that solved my issue...
I had to use a Style to achieve the functionality of having an extra text box inside each column header and filling out the Tag property of each thus created TextBox to later find out which column has been changed.
