I know you can fill a column with checkboxes easily.
But what if new rows are added? How to fill them too with checkboxes automatically?
With data validation rules.
When selecting the range, use something like K2:K and the checkbox will be inserted in new rows too.

I have a google sheet, Names, populated by a google form. In another sheet, copiedNames, I am referencing Names column B starting from row 100 ='Names'!B100:B and have drop filled this formula into the all the cells below. The row numbers in copiedNames are not the same as the row numbers in Names.
When a new google form entry is input into Names, the formula in copiedNames break. I understand that this is because new rows are being inserted into Names and copiedNames is referencing rows after the inserted rows. How do I reference the inserted rows so that I can keep referencing the new names as they come in?
I've seen suggestions to try arrayformula, index, indirect, but I can't figure out something that works.
It worked to use =Arrayformula('Names'!B100:B) in a single cell and not drop fill the cells underneath.
so basically if i were to make a simple query, that pulls a few data. it would just paste the value in individual cell. Would it be possible for those return values be automatically made into a drop down?
Right click a cell that you would want the dropdown to exist in, select data validation. Then, use the "List from range" criteria and select the cells that your query result would display in.
I have Google Sheets where I need to delete all the rows IF the Column contains the number 0. Any quick way to do this? I have over 20000 rows to go through and I don't want to do this manually.
An easy and old style method is sort on that column so that all the rows having that column value '0' are together. Then select all those rows using Ctrl + Page Down and then press delete. NO need to explore any fancy options for such simple things.
Another quicker option is to use filter. Select the column and then click Filter under the Data menu. Then from the drop down, select '0' for the filter by values. This will hide all the rows that don't contain 0 in that column. Then simply select all those rows and delete them.
I have a Google Sheet that is filled from a Google Form, and I need to apply functions in some columns of each row that is not been filled (inserted).
When the user fills the form the data goes to the sheet but the functions shifted to the next row by itself, but I want to apply the function in the same row.
You just need to use arrayformula so in N2 you would enter:
=IF(ISNUMBER(J2:J),J2:J+M2:M,)
This causes the formula to run itself down the sheet only once there is a value in the cells your trying to add. This way it doesnt prevent new entries from being added
I have made a simple formula, based on cells in the same row, to indicate to the user that they have entered enough information - and it works as needed .
=IF(AND(ISTEXT(B20),ISNUMBER(C20),ISNUMBER(E20),ISTEXT(F20)),"Ok",IF(AND(ISBLANK(B20),ISBLANK(C20),ISBLANK(D20),ISBLANK(E20),ISBLANK(F20)),"","MORE INFO"))
However, when I click the built in "add more rows" button at the bottom of the sheet the formula is not present in the new cell - but any dropdown menu or validation I've used in the cells not containing the formula are present in the respective added cells of the new row. Any Ideas why just the formula is missing ? Thanks.

When you add additional rows, Sheets assumes you want to continue the same dataset and, therefore, applies the existing formatting as well as Data Validation. It does not, however, copy formulas automatically as that would be adding actual new data to your sheet.
You can use an ArrayFormula version of your formula to populate the entire column, which it would continue to do as you'll add more rows of data. Assuming your data starts at row 2 (below the header), try this:
=arrayformula(if(istext(B2:B)*n(C2:C)*n(E2:E)*istext(F2:F),"Ok",if(len(B2:B)+len(C2:C)+len(D2:D)+len(E2:E)+len(F2:F),"MORE INFO",)))
