I need to remove the entire row if there is no X (Issued). The data retrieved, returns Rated and Issued items but I only want to display Issued.
The logic at the bottom stipulates that only form name: GL and status: Issued (green) should display and I don't understand why Rated items (red) are taking up space.
I've tried to make them hidden at the column level but naturally there are big gaping holes with no lines representing the rows but there is still empty space.
I might be missing something, but why are you hiding at the column level? You should be able to hide a row using an expression like this:
=Iif(Fields!Status.Value <> "Issued", True, False)
Another option is to apply a filter to the data region using similar logic.

First, here is the link to my sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1067N1SAIwpGkMRBZiUv4JW8yDNkozuGt7Fwh6GW-qvE/edit#gid=1742559851
If you look at the tab called "Selection", I have two columns called "Select". All the data in these tables is collected by a query function, except column "Select". In that column, I need to add Data Validation (a simple Yes or No). I want the Data Validation to be automatically added when a new row is created but the query function instead of having to add or remove it manually every time I make some changed. Data collected by the query function is using the two variables on top of the sheet (minimum rating and global buff).
Just to show the step to apply data validation to your whole column, see the following image. Under Cell Range, the image shows Selection!D5:D99, but this is actually set to Selection!D5:D999, it just is truncated due to the size of the text box.
Let us know if this is what you were looking for, or if I've misunderstood your issue.
I am having some issues with specifying a dynamic cell range for a "data validation".
I'm aware you can do some tricky stuff with = "Projections!M4:M"&O2. You can update the content of cell O2 for example to 3 and the output would be Projections!M4:M3.
This makes the value "dynamic". These tricks don't seem to work in the "Cell Range:" input field in the Data Validation selection/configuration screen.
My problem is, I hate seeing drop down arrows (call me o.c.d) for rows that have no content, my number of rows will grow in the future so I don't have any other option than selecting M4:Mfills the whole 1002 rows with drop down arrows.
Has anyone worked out a trick to make dropdown arrows only show up for rows that are filled?
I'm using = COUNTA(B4:B)to get the number of rows that are filled and = "Projections!M4:M"&O2 to make the desired Projections!M4:MX string but the "Cell Range" input field in the Data validation screen doesn't accept this as valid either.
Well I didn't find a direct solution, but something that I can work with to resolve my issue which was I hate seeing drop down arrows for empty rows.
I turned a filter on for a column that will always be filled in and filtered by conditions Cell is not empty but i'd prefer a better solution.
I've two fields on account form, one is two option(checkbox) and other is text box. As par my requirements, I've to not show the label of the checkbox but show them as simple fields without caption. I am done with it but stuck in a problem that it create a huge space between two fields, as shown in following screenshot. I would like to hear from your side to resolve this problem.
You could try this:
Set the tab to two columns, settings the first column around 5-10% (experiment with the value)
put the checkboxes in the first section, the other fields in the second one
set the first section to have 1 pixels for label width (instead of default 115)
I'm not sure how it would turn out, and would probably need some tweaking (to account for different form/window widths) but you might accomplish something close to what you need.
Another approach would be to build a custom HTML webresource, put it in an IFRAME as the only form element, and rebuild the form from scratch as you like... but it's probably best left as a last-est resort
You can convert the section from 2 columns to 4 columns, span the textbox field to 3 columns. This will reduce the checkbox field columns to 25% and textbox to 75%
This is the maximum we can do in supported way.
I'm trying to use the filter() formula within a spreadsheet, from another tab within that spreadsheet.
I've got a number of drop-down menus that, when used, bring up the relevant data from the table I'm filtering from.
I've managed to make it work when it's a table of data from row 2 downwards (row 1 being a header row), but now the table starts from the 6th row down with other information above it (most of it, however, is blank). As such, now all of the options come up automatically when the drop down menus are blank.
I either need the formula below to start from the 6th row down, or to ignore the blank cells. It must be an easy solution but for the life of me, I can't find it anywhere on the internet (I'm pretty new with spreadsheet formulas so please be gentle).
This is the formula I've been using that works when there are no blank rows:
=FILTER(Sheet2!A:T,(Sheet2!D:D=B12)+(Sheet2!F:F=C12)+(Sheet2!G:G=D12)+(Sheet2!H:H=E12)+(Sheet2!I:I=F12)+(Sheet2!N:N=G12)+(Sheet2!O:O=H12)+(Sheet2!T:T=I12))
If it helps, the drop-down options are both numbers and text, and I'm using Google Sheets rather than Excel.
You can probably just change your ranges to 'A6:T' instead of 'A:T'. 'A:A' range syntax gets all rows in that column. 'A6:A' will start it at 6 but not define an ending row, which I think is what you want.
This is your formula with those small changes:
=FILTER(Sheet2!A6:T,(Sheet2!D6:D=B12)+(Sheet2!F6:F=C12)+(Sheet2!G6:G=D12)+(Sheet2!H6:H=E12)+(Sheet2!I6:I=F12)+(Sheet2!N6:N=G12)+(Sheet2!O6:O=H12)+(Sheet2!T6:T=I12))
The =isBlank() formula may be useful to you as well. It takes a cell reference and returns true/false. You can wrap this in NOT() to give the opposite result, i.e =NOT(ISBLANK(A1)) will return true if there is a value.
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.
