I'm trying to go to a original cell from shortcut.
Ex: I used a formula to get a total sum from selected cells =SUM(Sheet2!A2:A5) but when I'm in sheet 1 how to to go to Sheet A2 A5 with shortcut.
On Sheet1, you can create a link to anywhere in the spreadsheet using the insert link function and then specifying the destination. I would use a named range as a destination in case you insert rows/columns.
To elaborate on #PgSystemTester answer, you can use either a named range, or just the cell reference.
Sheet1!A2

I am trying to create a formula that concatenates cell values if the ticked box is TRUE Please see attached image click here to see the image
What I am trying to do is to concatenate in one string columns B and C from every row if the checkbox in column A is selected, and have them separated by a ",". You can in cell G2 an example of the final result I am trying to achieve.
You can find the google sheet in this link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hwm4Q89qj3ko2vJ4OASWmgz4VQr_uUaP7E7AmVdl8Ks/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks in advance.
try:
=ArrayFormula(TEXTJOIN(",",1,IF(A4:A,B4:C,)))
You can try this sheet formula first.
=IF(A4="","",IF(A4=TRUE,TEXTJOIN(",",True,B4,C4),""))
This formula has nested IF's just for additional checker to check if the first column has a value and would return blank just for it to be dynamic. You can drag the formula down to adjust the cells.
Sheet sample:
I am using below formula that is working fine on same sheet to highlight the row where found "Terminated".
=$E3="Terminate"
I want to highlight the same row on other sheets as well where found "Terminate" on "Leave Data" sheet range E3.
Each sheet has same Employees name on Col B. May that would made it easy to highlight the same row on other sheets
Can someone please share a solution to this question.
Conditional formatting does not support direct sheet references, but you can "trick" it by using INDIRECT and CELL:
So in cell A1 of Sheet3, create a conditional formatting rule valid for the whole range A1:A100 and insert this formula:
=INDIRECT("Sheet2!"&CELL("address", E1))="Terminate"
INDIRECT
CELL
Explanation
Between INDIRECT and CELL, it creates an "indirect" reference to the value of the target cell which conditional formatting can understand.
You can also make it fill the whole row by adding a $ to the E as in this formula:
=INDIRECT("Sheet2!"&CELL("address", $E1))="Terminate"
I've searched for hours and couldn't find an answer to the following problem:
I have two sheets, Blue and Red.
I want Blue!A1 to be "exactly" like Red!A1 but I find this problem:
Red!A1 contains "B1+B2", both are Red's cells.
However, when I write Blue!A1 like this: "=Red!A1", the return value is something like "=Red!B1 + Red!B2", and not the "=CurrentSheet!B1 + CurrentSheet!B2"
My problem is that I cannot reference the Blue sheet in the Red one because I want dozens of sheets referencing Red in the same way, so when I change A1 in Red I change all the other sheets' A1 accordingly with their respectives B1s and B2s, not Red's B1 and B2.
I want to have a cell in a sheet which can be referenced by any other cell in any other sheet exactly like it was in the first place.
For instance, if I have a cell which contains =B1+B2 in a sheet, I want to reference it in another sheet in a way that the new =B1+B2 references the current sheet's B1 and B2 cells instead of the former one's.
Can someone help me to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance

Solution 1
Copy & Paste.
In Google Sheets, copy & paste iterates the formula automatically. If you change sheet, it will change the referenced cells to point to the current sheet; if you change location within the same sheet, it will shift the cell references according to how many columns and rows you shifted.
In contrast, cut & paste will move the formula without iterating the cell references.
Solution 2
If you have a truly large number of sheets you want to create based on a template and don't want to c&p a thousand times, you can use Apps Script.
In particular, you will need
Spreadsheet App to create and access new sheets; and
Functions that manipulate cells here.
You can enter the formula via Apps Script as strings.
For example, say you want cell A1 to have formula B1+C1 in a tab named "Sheet1". You can do the following.
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var tab = sheet.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
sheet.setActiveSheet(tab);
var cell = tab.getRange(1, 1); // The arguments are the row and column indices of A1, respectively.
cell.setValue('=B1+C1');
There are many things you can do here with the basic template. You can generate sheets based on some naming convention. You can generate formula based on the cell position. You can create a script that fills in the formula upon the creation of a tab if its name observes a certain rule. etc etc. And naturally, you can duplicate the formulas from one sheet. You will need getFormula() as opposed to getValue.
Note: you can also call
custom Apps Script function directly in your sheet and write your cells using the output of your custom function. But in your case, using the range functions in Apps Script should be more efficient.
Is it possible to grab the contents of a cell from one sheet and display them on another?
I have 4 sheets. And I want the cells of the third sheet to display the first column of the second sheet on the second column.
if you want to get range from another sheet just use:
Replace 'Sheet' and 'A2:C8' with title and range you want to refer
={Sheet!A2:C8}
For multiple sheets
Replace ';' with ',' for horizontal view:
={Sheet!A2:C8;Sheet1!A2:C8;Sheet2!A2:C8}
Add the sheetname exclamation point to your cell reference
e.g. sheet!A:1
Then drag from the first cell down to as many rows as you need.
Google Sheets allows reference between sheets. the syntax is pretty simple. consider a single cell: =<sheetname>!A2 for example. From there, you can drag down with the bottom right corner, and your your column will now be a copy of an arbitrary column in , in this case A
These are the annotations for cells in google sheets
Sheetname!A:1 For Relative Cells
Sheetname!$A:1 For Absolute Columns
Sheetname!A:$1 For Absolute Rows
Sheetname!$A:$1 For Absolute Cells
Yes. For specific ranges you can use IMPORTRANGE.
Is it possible to grab the contents of a cell from one sheet and display them on another?
Yes. It's even possible to get entire columns of data.
In sheet 2 A1,
=ARRAYFORMULA('Sheet1'!A:A)
The single quotes ' can be omitted, if the sheet name doesn't have a space . In other words, if you use Monthly Budget as a sheet name, then single quotes is mandatory.
Google Sheets :
Is it possible to code a cell in a sheet to pull in information from another cell in another sheet, inside the same workbook, by the title of the column that I give it, instead of using something like :
=Sheet1!A2
so that it looks for the Column Header Text to bring in the info no matter where it is in Sheet 1?
I have csv files that vary with some columns, the most important columns, so they won't always be at the same LetterNumber location.
OFFSET in conjunction with MATCH might suit.
=offset(Sheet1!A1,1,match("name1",Sheet1!1:1,0)-1)
A formula such as above should return a value from Row2 (1 lower/higher number than the row of the reference cell A1) of Sheet1 from the column defined by the match function. name1 (a column label) might be anywhere in the first row of Sheet1.
