How to follow reference between tabs in Google Sheets? - google-sheets

Google sheets has a shortcut to follow a reference in other tab?
I searched in excel and it looks like it's F5, but I don't have excel to try it out, and F5 in the web reloads the page, obviously.

I do not think that Google Sheets has that feature, hence no shortcut either.
See the keyboard shortcuts help page.

importrange doesn´t bring the text with the hiperlink, only brings the text

In Google Sheets importrange doesn´t bring the text with the hiperlink, only brings the text, any advice? I read a post that explains how to extract the link. But I think its not my case how to resolve. Also I don´t see in the menus how to tell that cell is hiperlink. Any Advice?
unfortunately, google sheets importrange does not support hyperlinks. you will need to extract them in your source sheet and reconstruct them in your data sheet.

"Google Docs encountered an error" on embedded Google Spreadsheet?

I have a web page which embeds several parts of a Google Spreadsheet
http://nkelsey.x10.mx/GTC/Members_Area/WinterSinglesLeague/singlesleaguetablesorig.html
This page has worked for years unaltered. We just edit the spreadsheet and the web pages updates automatically.... only for the last few weeks we have been encountering 'Google Docs encountered an error' messages where the parts of the spreadsheet should be.
I did raise the issue with Google One support but after clarifying the issue after a few hours the report was 'closed' by Google with no response!
I tried making a copy of the spreadsheet and embedding that - again Google Errors were observed.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
I have checked the 'Share' on the spreadsheet and it is correctly set to 'View' and the sheet is 'published'. There are no 'hidden' columns or rows.
Thanks in anticipation
Looking at the page source, it appears that the embedded link does not match the spreadsheet. I would suggest trying to replace that link with the one from File > Publish to the web > Embed, carrying over the parameters listed on the Docs Editors help page from the original URL.

VBA macro to create a list of all URLs connected with one google sheet

Not sure if anyone knows how to do this but could really do with your help,
I have a google sheet that contains 4 or 5 sheets at the moment and that number will increase as we go on,
I have a fantastic piece of code I found that can pull in the data from a Google Sheet Tab using the URL,
however it only does the one tab,
so I was wondering if anyone knows a way to create a list of all the tabs in a google sheets URL's
here is a URL to the first sheet
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G-2PJHClHmI0hrYsV1QxNDzyXG0Kze0IIxzb_n3n6oQ/edit#gid=303111374
so I need a way to go to this then import the URLs for all other sheets
please help if you can, any ideas would be great, also if you have a better way to pull all sheets into excel I'm all ears.

ImportXML / ImportHTML workaround with URL Tabs on Google Sheets [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Scraping data to Google Sheets from a website that uses JavaScript
(2 answers)
Closed last month.
So I am trying to do a spreadsheet using Google Sheets and the importxml/html function. However, I am not seeing a solution for the URL since it has tabs on a persistent URL: https://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/etf/snapshot/snapshot.aspx?id=0P0001CY2T&tab=3&InvestmentType=FE
My goal is to extract the tables of value & growth but not seeing a way to work around that. Only making it work on the main page of the URL: https://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/etf/snapshot/snapshot.aspx?id=0P0001CY2T which is data I don't intend to use.
I did try to importhtml with table selection, however not displaying any data when the first URL is used. Also did try importxml with both full Xpath and Xpath for the items I'm interested in and not working either...
Options used:
=importhtml("https://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/etf/snapshot/snapshot.aspx?id=0P0001CY2T&tab=3&InvestmentType=FE";"table";"2")
=importxml("https://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/etf/snapshot/snapshot.aspx?id=0P0001CY2T&tab=3&InvestmentType=FE";"//#html/body/div/sal-components-pillar-cards-process/div/div[2]/div/div[3]/div[2]/div/sal-components-mip-style-measures/div/div[3]/div/div[1]/sal-components-mip-measures/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]")
Any ideas?
It seems that the table you are trying to fetch is controlled by Javascript which is out of hand when using IMPORTs in Google Sheets. Thus, the table can't be scraped.
You can check whether a website/table in a website is javascript controlled by doing this. Go click on the lock button on the left side of the address bar and click site settings, look for Javascript then block it. If you try and reload the website, You should notice a difference before blocking Javascript.
In this case, if you try it on your end, you will notice that after blocking Javascript on the website, you won't be able to see the tables anymore.
IMPORT functions of google sheets are not able to handle JavaScript elements. if you disable JS you are left with (and only this can be imported):

Slicer in Google Sheets

I created a dashboard on Excel but want to move it to Google Sheets. How can I implement slicer like Excel on the spreadsheet?
I was using pivot in MS Excel with filters and slicers. I can replace slicer with some filters but in the spreadsheet, the filter isn't as handy as MS Excel and even dicer add-ons aren't functioning well. I am trying to replace it with data validation but that is making my dashboard extremely slow (Maybe because I can't find an efficient way). Can anyone suggest some combination of functions to create a slicer in Google spreadsheet? Any reading material recommendation regarding this?
For those who might land here after the question was originally answered:
Google Sheets now natively supports slicers.
Simply go to "Data" -> "Add a slicer" at the top menu.
See the documentation here: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/9245556
in Google Sheets, there are no Slicers but you can add an add-on to your Google Sheets called Dicers
