In Excel, you can replace a series' label with the contents of a cell by selecting the label once, then again, and then entering your cell reference in the formula bar (see Excel screenshot).
I'd like to achieve the same result in Google Sheets.
How?
in google sheets try like this:

Can anyone help with this google sheet formula. If any cell contains text "Done", I would like that cell and the cell on it's left to turn green. It is not bound to a specific column.
use on range B:P:
=(C1="done")+(B1="done")
You will need to use the $ sign
=$C2="Done"
(Please adjust ranges to your needs)
I am wondering if there is a way to do conditional formatting in the "else" portion of an if statement. For example, right now I have:
=if(MONTH(today())=2, (M2 * Y2), (*turn cell green*))
I can't seem to find a way to do this with conditional formatting (I can only seem to find a way to turn the cell green if a certain event occurs). If I just try to turn the cell green if the month of today is not 2, it will turn green, however the cell text is "FALSE." I would like to turn the cell green but also keep the cell text.
So you want to color the cell when the current month is February (2)?
Highlight the cell and add the following as custom formula:
=if(month(today())<>2,true)
Note that the formula of a cell is independent of the conditional formatting. So your turn cell green goes into conditional formatting. The M2*Y2 part goes into the cell :)
I am creating a dashboard with multiple sheets, they are of same size. Sheets are added one by one by floating.
Issue: Only to the top most sheet tooltip is getting shown. For all the below sheets, tooltip doesn't get shown.
This primarily happens when the sheet on the top has no data, however still acts as an empty container. Due to this, you can look through the transparent container and it seems that the second sheet is on the top.
However, you still have a top empty container on the top, and the sheet beneath it, visible but intangible.
I have stumbled upon this issue in the past, and this tutorial was really helpful in creating a visualization you plan to.
Basically, you can drag the Vertical layout container to the dashboard. Then, drag each sheet to the dashboard. this will put all the sheets, one atop other vertically.
How can I change cell text to bold or colored if the date is today?
And change the 6 cells below it to bold as well?
Can be achieved with a single formula if you select the range to be applied to and six rows at the top. Select the range to apply to plus six rows above that. Then Format, Conditional formatting..., Format cells if..., Custom formula is:
=or(A1=today(),offset(A1,-1,)=today(),offset(A1,-2,)=today(),offset(A1,-3,)=today(),offset(A1,-4,)=today(),offset(A1,-5,)=today(),offset(A1,-6,)=today())
and Done.
Suppose your date cell in A1. Right-click on your date cell, select conditional formatting. Here you can see that you have an option for date is equal to today, select whatever formatting.
Do the same for the cell 6 below, but select 'Custom formula is', type in the formula =A1=today(), select your formatting.
You can copy and paste this formatting just like anything else. You can choose the range for this formatting in the conditional formatting menu as well.
I've created a spreadsheet in Google Spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contains merged cells and I've placed a border around the merged cells.
When I choose download to Excel and open it in Excel it looses the border for all the merged cells except the first cell in the merged range.
Is there a solution to be found or a bug? If I select to download as ods format it keeps the border around the merged cells but loose background fill instead..

I almost put a huge bounty on this question, but I figured it out (worked for me at least).
Select all the cells in the Google spreadsheet (ctrl + A)
Clear formatting: Format > Clear formatting
This solution works!
You need to select the table (or the cell where the border is missing) and right click and choose Table Formatting options. Then select colors and set the table border as 0.5 points (pt).
It appears that for some reason the table border width becomes 0 pt and is not visible for merged cells. Setting the border width to something but zero, makes it visible again.
