I have a Google Doc I'm trying to build. It's not this exact book, this all contains fake data, but the gist is the same:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12ebgFNCcRbJfgz6MS5XxcLCEv9vcEGw-0aUJrYmIqec/edit#gid=0
You'll notice that the first tab is called "Master". What I want Master to populate with is any time someone in one of the three sheets has a Grade of "Negative" or the "Follow Up" checkbox is checked off. So this would account for the data currently in the workbook, as well as any future data that gets added.
So the end result would be the "Master" tab looking like the picture below.
Is there a way I can do this?
Upon checking on the sheet you've provided, it seems like you already have the correct formula for getting the data from the other sheets to "master". The only difference with it and your expected output is the checkboxes.
If you want to use checkboxes instead of TRUE/FALSE even in the queried data, you need to put/create the blank checkboxes first on the Follow-up? and Resolved? and the value of those checkboxes will depend on the queried values. Please see screenshot below:
Please let me know if you have other concerns aside from the ones mentioned.

I am currently a college student who was trying to make a dynamic google sheet where my data is organized. The premise is as follows:
I input raw data into one spread sheet titled "Raw Data"
That data from raw data is automatically sorted by date using the SORT function to keep it dynamically updated.
If an item in the organized data is checked, then the row turns gray and updates into a corresponding chart.
My problem is that as I add or edit data, the checkbox is stuck to the row. In the first picture, you see the normal data as is.
organized spreadsheet data using a SORT function
However, lets say I add a due date for an assignment on 1/31/23. Then this happens.
Spreadsheet data following SORT function modified to show problem
So overall, my question is how can I lock a checkbox to a specific row so if the row is moved, the checkbox moves with it? If it is needed, I have a public link to the spreadsheet if it helps understand the problem:
Public Spreadsheet 1/31 for Clarification
I currently tried several data validation rules but most of them simply locked the cell from being edited if it was checked.
I also tried modifying the RAW data and adding a checkbox there before the sort function refreshes but that negates the point of the sheet at all then.
I was not sure how else to go about it trying to lock it into that place. Also, I was not sure how to upload as a MARKDOWN text table so I figured an image would suffice for the problem.
I'm very new to Tableau, just creating my third very simple Viz. By adding and deleting filters, I seem to have managed to create an invisible filter and I don't know how to get rid of it. I deleted the dashboard and all sheets but the filter persists somewhere.
In the data-source tab, when I describe the "mix" field it has 6 discrete values as it should. When I look at the table I can see 6 discrete values. But NOW when I create a brand new first sheet and don't do anything else but look at "describe" for "mix" in the list of fields, "mix" only has one value. If I drag it to the screen it shows up with that one value.
Any ideas where I might find this hidden filter?
Thank you.
Aha. I hadn't realized that making an extract of the source data (so that I could put the Viz up publicly) was silently filtered by the filters in place on a screen.
So, unknown to me, my source-data had become "pre-filtered" and of course nothing I could do at a screen level after that could remove that filtering.
I have a spreadsheet with responses from a form, but occasionally we manually enter responses into the spreadsheet that do not come in through the google form. I would like these to remain in order with the form responses, but when a google form is submitted it inserts the next form response after the last form response and shifts the manually entered data on the spreadsheet down.
Is there a way I can get the manually entered data to be recognized when the form submits and always append the latest form response to the bottom of the spreadsheet?
I followed this answer here but it doesnt work for me, it still ignores manual entries. Any help is appreciated.
You cannot have automated data and manually entered data in the same range.
For instance, if you use an array formula on a sheet in in B:B, the array formula "owns" B:B. If you then enter manual data anywhere in B:B, you will "break" the array, all of your formula data will disappear and the original formula cell will show an error. Think of that error as Google Sheets' way of saying, "Looks like you decided that you want to use this range for manual data now instead of formula-produced data, so it appears your formula is now not what you want."
The same concept is true for form integration. A form does not "read" cell from your Google Sheet. It just outputs data to it. It's a one-way conversation, so to speak. As such, the form doesn't know what else you are doing on the form-data intake sheet. It only knows how to find the information that marks where it left off with the last submission; and then its instructions are to enter a new line below that point for the next new submission.
In other words, a form "owns" the sheet you integrate it with. And the form will do what it is programmed to do, regardless of whether you try to also "own" that sheet by typing into in manually.
The simple solution: always use your form to enter data.
If you say to yourself, "But using the form is more work than manual entry," it's time to rethink your form and your user experience, since forms are meant to make data entry easier than manual entry into the spreadsheet, not harder.
This sounds plain, but i keyed in the timestamps columns of manually entered data to any earlier date and sorted the data by timestamp. the new data from the form would populate the bottom rows after
however new responses doesn't take your formats n formulas..maybe u have to export it for calculations etc
hope this helps
I have a worksheet being fed by a Google Form. I want the responses on the Google Form to populate two fields in the next tab. The B column in the second tab is the one beyond my skillset. I have written out how the field should display, based on the form responses for reference. I also have used comments on the sheet to explain the rules for each field.
I know split function can be used but it wont adjust it. any possible solution.
Here the Sheet link

I've added an answer on your sheet. Since the data is all delineated by semi-colons, this formula seems to match what you want.
=SPLIT('Import Data'!B1,";",0,0)
Let us know if it doesn't do what you want, or if this helps.
Updated: After checking with you, I realise that you want only some of the data split, and some kept concatenated. But since all of the data "fields" look the same, separated by semi-colons, and since there could be various numbers of fields in each response category, I don't think there is a simple logic that can tell where to split, and where to keep things like dress styles or sizes concatenated. So I understand that this is not your desired answer.
Have been using Google Sheets' Filter formula
FILTER(range, condition1, [condition2, ...])
to copy rows with specified value .i.e. 'Approved' in the Master Sheet onto another sheet, Approved List.
However, once I edit any value in Approved List, the entire sheet returns an error.
How can I overcome this?
I've actually created a free google addon that can move data from one google sheet to another. It can easily filter out rows based on a certain condition. I'd be happy to set it up for you if you share a spreadsheet with me that I can use to show you how to set up the report. Otherwise, you could also create the filter exactly how you did, but then copy all of the values and then select Edit -> Paste special -> Paste Values only. From then you could edit it. However, this only works if you are editing once instead of needing to continuously receive new data. My addon is able to allow you to edit as well as get new updates from the filter. Message me if you have any more questions!
