google sheets - how reset data labels that have been changed manually? - google-sheets

I'm trying to reset data labels that have been changed manually in google sheets bars chart, and I can't find it in any of the options of the "chart editor". I always get back the last numbers that was inserted manually, and not the original data from the table at question.
I tried to edit it in the "Setup" section, under the "Series" and pick the data range again, but couldn't find a way that works. maybe I'm missing something.
the only way I can think of, of course, is building the same graph again, but this is not smart when I have so many graphs to update
help pls

select the given single data label you want to reset, then right click it and choose "Format data point" > "Revert to default"
haven't found a way to revert multiple at the same time, might need to recreate the chart for that

How to easily find what actually changed in a big Google Sheets file?

Let's say there are 50 sheets with thousands of rows of data, and I change one cell's value today at 15:00.
In version history, I will see that today at 15:00 there was a change.
But if I click on the earlier version, I would have to manually find the changed cell's green highlight.
This is unfeasible if there are a lot of sheets, takes too much time to find actually what was changed.
Is there a better way?
Select an earlier version.
On the top right of the sheet you'll see "Total: X edit(s)" with an up- and down-arrow.
Click those arrows to jump to the next/previous edit.

If you don't expect a lot of changes, I'd probably consider using the onEdit() function to get the cell that changed, and insert this sheet!cell ref plus datetime in a new sheet - maybe even make a link of it so you can go directly to that cell if you want.
Then add a function in onOpen() to clear this new sheet of any entries older than x?

How do I make a sheet filter only show checkmarked rows with multiple variables in G-Sheets

I have a spreadsheet in google sheets that has a lot of checkmarks:
I want to create another checkbox filtering system, either at the top, if possible, or on another tab if not. I've tried putting the filter at the top, but as I'm sure you know, it overwrites the data, so no bueno. I also tried this:
with this code:
=FILTER(Movies!A3:P1000,(IF(F2=0,Movies!F4:F1002=0,Movies!F4:F1002=1)))
Which doesn't seem to be doing what I want either? It's showing a random selection, it seems, rather than only the data with the F column being true.
Ideally, you click the checkmarks of the data you want to see, so, if you click the check under Andrew, Addison and Richie, it would only show the rows that had only Andrew, Richie, and Addison's checkmarks. I am fine with making the checkmarks a 0,1,2 list if needed. (Because checkmarks I think are only binary, unless they have an option somewhere to have a third option that I'm unaware of, and marking some data to not be seen if it doesn't have a checkmark would likely require a third option.)
this is what I've got

Google Sheets - Validation list to default on selection in another cell, but still provide drop-down options

I'm stuck on this one, and after a number of google searches am now wondering if I'm the only person who's ever tried to do this.
I have a google sheet that users are required to fill in. There is a drop-down selection option at the top, specifying the region the user needs the file for.
However, as the user gets down to the lines for the individual items required, some (a small number) may not be for the region selected at the top.
So what I'm trying to do is add the regions to the individual lines. The default for each line should be the region selected at the top, so this should show as pre-selected. But I want the user to be able to still click on a drop-down arrow and select a different region for a line.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Thank you!
Okay,
I'm unsure of your expected outcome, your request is also not very clear -
What I've done is created a list via Data validation, however, if a user enters data into the adjacent column:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OsrQCUt-Urf_Gx8_l9CBZkaUlDc311-S-0csa9GAtCQ/edit?usp=sharing
also it's good practice to share an example of your workbook for others to edit and work on.
let me know if this is what you wanted.

how to know grouping values in pivot chart in Hyperion designer

I have a chart which has query,result and pivot. pivot has 3 part side labels,top labels and facts.
Some user selected few data in side label and make them a group, I dont know what those values are.
Can somebody let me know how to find grouping values in Hyperion Designer 8.5.
Thanks
Deepak
I'm going to guess that what you have is a pivot table where someone created a drilldown by right-clicking and selecting hide. And you want to know what they hid. Unfortunately, even if you're the one that hid the values, you can't get that information back without showing everything. This is just one of those Hyperion quirks: it assumes that people using Designer are individual developers who aren't going to be hiding and renaming things without remembering the original values. The only way to get it back is to do some detective work by showing everything and trying to replicate the table.

Set the content of a cell to a function?

I have a spreadsheet in which I want to be able to expand the number of columns using a function rather than using auto-fill because the new cells are getting filled with content based on complex formulas and depending on a lot of things.
In one of these cells I want the content to be something like =SUM(A1:A8)
But if I just do cell.setValue("=SUM(A1:A8)") I get "error: Unknown range name A1", unless I afterwards edit the cell content and press enter, without really having changed its content.
Is there any way of fixing this?
I don't want the calculation to be in the expand-columns-function because I do want the cell-calculation to be updated when one of the referenced cells change.
Is there a way of doing it besides having an onEdit-function listening to changes in the referenced cells and updating the calculations?
Thanks
To set a formula on a cell you should use cell.setFormula not setValue.
I'm not sure I understood you "expand" issue completely, but I think an opened range sum function may suit you better than apps-script. e.g.
=SUM(A:A) or =SUM(A2:A)
