I am using Google Sheets and Docs a lot at work (like most people I assume) and the link previews severely hinder my ability to work quickly. I have tried to google around to see how to remove this, I understand there are chrome extensions that can employ css to hide them to a certain degree but not fully. I am wondering if there is a way to remove them completely from all docs - not just from one at a time. Thanks!
I put in a little work to try a few things on your behalf. You can use the following steps. Each two-step process takes less than 10 seconds.
When you are ready to begin work in a particular sheet:
1.) Hit Ctrl-A to select the entire sheet range.
2.) With the entire sheet range selected, right click anywhere and hover over "View more cell actions" at the bottom of the menu that appears. Then choose "Remove links." All links in that sheet will now be deactivated.
When you are done in that particular sheet:
1.) Click Ctrl-H to bring up the Find/Replace dialog. (For this process, do not select the entire sheet first.)
2.) In the "Find" field enter http. In the "Replace with" field also enter http. For "Search" area, select "This sheet." Finally, hit the "Replace all" button. This should reactivate all links in that sheet.
Again, each of these two-step processes can be accomplished in just a few seconds.
Because this is an important work document, I would recommend that you practice this once or twice in a copy of some real sheet that has links in it (i.e., duplicate a real sheet within the spreadsheet, practice there, and when you're satisfied with your practice results, delete that duplicate sheet).
I also recommend before you do the first two-step process for any sheet, that you get in the habit of creating a new Named Range (File > Version history > Name current version), so that you can revert if needed. This is good practice for anyone who will be making significant changes to any sheet; and at the very least, it will provide peace of mind and confidence as you apply the workaround steps I've offered.

I am trying to make a task tracker (Google Sheets) that pulls up specific numbers that is filtered out from dropdown menus, and I can't seem to figure out what to do. I'd very much appreciate any help from those who knows how to make this work.
Let's say the we got 3 video editors who have been assigned with tasks, with status shown of their progress, (Pending, In Progress, and Done). And there is another column where numbers of scripts are shown. What I want to accomplish is to get each number of scripts each Video Editors are assigned with, but only those scripts that are marked as done. And to create a dropdown menu that when picked a specific video editor, autopopulates their total number of done scripts.
Here is the link of the sheet of the tracker I am trying to make. Feel free to edit it.
Thank you for those who will try..
Have a great day.
Try below formula.
=SUMIFS(H$6:H$14,D$6:D$14,E21,E$6:E$14,"Done")
I'm trying to make a document comparison viewer for web browser that feels as same as Microsoft word's 'Track Changes' and 'Compare' (options available in Review Tab).
I am already using Aspose.Words to convert every file type to docx and compare two files which gives me a redline copy merged into one single document. What i want to get is the resulting document(s) in a side by side comparison on UI. Also i want to give the ability to do the basic:
Get a summary of changes made and able to navigate as to where to changes are made in the document.(Scroll to the position of change in the document, just like Review Pane in MS word)
Accept and Reject those changes and download the revised document.
Able to compare text as well as non text related changes.
I've looked for many 3rd party tools but always end up in a limitation surrounding them, to list a few
GroupDocs.Comparison - Gives navigation and auto scroll but in a
merged document not in side by side view. Also, does not gives a document but a set of images.
Draftable - Compares only text and style, no image/tagged file
objection insertion or deletion. No option to accept or reject
changes
ipdf-net - No option to accept or reject changes.
PrizmDocs Document Compare API - No navigation to where the change is made in the document. Also no side by side comparison.
Litera Compare: No side by side comparison.
Where i could such 3rd party SDK that would help me achieve my objective or is there any was i could overcome the limitations i am getting from the tolls I've looked at ? The main concern is to have a navigation/mapping of change made to its position in the document and ability accept or reject those changes.
GroupDocs.Comparison provides following features:
Accept or reject detected changes
Get comparison summary page
Get list of changes
Get changes coordinates
Customize style changes
Adjust comparison sensitivity
Text and image comparison

I'm a bit puzzled. I can't set Zapier to trigger when a new line is added to any sheet on a Google spreadsheet. They force you to choose a specific sheet. Any way around it?
Cheers!
You will need to create a different "Zap" event for each sheet. To my knowledge, there is no way around that.
However, the fact that you think Zapier should be able to have a single Zap be triggered by multiple sheets implies a couple or things:
1.) You're not yet sure what a "Zap" is.
2.) Your data in each separate sheet is very similar. And this causes me to wonder if your overall spreadsheet setup is less than ideal. Many people wind up setting up separate sheets for data collection, whereas in most cases, data collection should only be done in one sheet setup as a standard database, while other sheets show the data in different arrangements (i.e., reports).
You haven't given much detail or provided a link to the spreadsheet. But perhaps this will prompt you to dive into understanding Zapier a bit better and reconsidering the layout of your spreadsheet(s).
is it possible to specify to Google spreadsheet not to recalculate a specific sheet or number of cell everytime a modification is done ?
I have a very heavy sheet and it's very slow everytime i made a tiny modification, even if it's in an another sheet.
Seems that this feature is not supported by Google Spreadsheets. From a cursory search online the easiest way to work around this limitation is to make your formulas all conditional on a trigger. ie =IF(Boolean_Trigger,Your_formula,""). Trigger could be a cell, Named range, etc. Regards,
Is there a way in an epub file to say that a block should not be split among multiple pages, so that if the current page don't have enough room to show the block, then the block should start on the next page, instead of starting on the current page, and then spill over to the next page.
If this is not possible in general, a solution which work in ibooks and which don't cause problems in other readers are also useful :-}
I haven't played with them myself, but you might want to take a look at the .css widows and orphans styles. They are supported by the 2.0.1 spec here (scroll down to the paged media section). Setting the number high enough on your paragraph style might do the trick.
Use page-break-inside: avoid;. However, as others mentioned, you should not expect this to work on every platform. The only absolutely fool-proof way to get something to start on a new page on all readers is to place it in a separate XHTML file.
