I have two worksheets in a Google spreadsheet.
Sheet-A: Treat this like an “order booking” page. Consists of 10 empty line items, where the user can select an item from a dynamically generated dropdown list. The values in the dynamic list come from Sheet-B’s 1st column range
Sheet-B: Treat this like a “menu details” page. It consists of Menu item name, description, ingredients, etc
What I want to do is:
When users try to place an order, they select a menu item from the dropdown in Sheet A.
If they want to know more about an item, they should click on the hyperlink on top of the dropdown value and be navigated to the respective menu item description in Sheet B.
To summarize, the dynamic values coming in the dropdown list should hold a hyperlink within itself which points to where the value is coming from.
This is straightforward, use the HYPERLINK() function and either the CONCATENATE() function or use the concatenate operator "&". Here is an example from one of my projects:
=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("https://tracker.telenetwork.com/admin/reports/SCReport/report_emp.asp?emp=",$B$4,"&nt=",$A$4,"&sd=",A7,"&ed=",B7,"&dur=99999&per=15&client=",C4),"Call Recordings")
I built an example for another person asking a similar type question, between that example and the formula above you should be able to figure out how to implement for your specific situation. Feel free to make a copy of this sheet:

How can I populate an array, with a specific financials table from another sheet, depending on the chosen company in the dropdown list?
SO... populate the blue-area in DASHBOARD!, with the blue-area in FINANCIALS!, because it matches the company in the dropdown menu on DASHBOARD!.
Or is there an easier way to do this. In essence... I want the chosen company's key financials to be shown, when it is chosen in the dropdown menu...
Thank you so much in advance!

You can try the ‘QUERY’ function.
In the “FINANCIALS” sheet - Column A , I added the name of the company (you can hide this column if you prefer). This way we can make a query and return only rows that match with that specific company.
In the “DASHBOARD” sheet, cell D15, I added the following:
=QUERY(FINANCIALS!A6:H42,"select C,D,E,F,G,H where A='"&B10&"'",0)
And after formatting the rows with Number/Percent, this is the result which matches with the information in the "FINANCIALS" sheet:
Not sure how to phrase this correctly, but I can't get my head around the next thing;
I have a Google Sheet with two tabs. One tab showing the data based on the selected parameters (ID and Category) and one tab with all of the data.
The data consists out of one ID and up to 4 categories with each category having 3 unique values. When selecting an item ID in the first tab, it should generate a dropdown list with all of the Category names of the item with the same ID from the data tab. It should only pull the categories which are not empty. Once an ID and one of the categories is selected in the first tab, it should pull the 3 unique values of that specific Category and display it in the first tab.
Tab 1
The dropdown list in the first cell is simply the range of all the values in the 'B' column of the data tab. Once an ID has been selected in Tab 1, it should automatically generate a dropdown list including all Category Values (if not empty). In the example below it should create a dropdown list with the values "Example 1 and Example 2". If there would be a value below Category 3 it should create a dropdown list with 3.
Once the ID and the Category has been selected, it should pull the corresponding First, Second and Third value from the selected category.
Data tab
There are several ways to achieve this behavior, but I would suggest using the =FILTER function (you can read more about it here).
I have set up my mock Data tab as follows, but of course this method can be easily adapted:
You can see that I am listing all the ID-Category combinations and their corresponding value (I presume there are several Categories per ID).
Now to the main tab:
For the ID column a simple Data Validation can be done. You can select all the IDs in the Data tab, the duplicates will automatically be thrown out. This can easily be achieved by:
=Sheet2!$A$2:$A$7
For the Category validation in the second column, an extra step is needed because natively populating drop-down lists (to dynamically adapt the Category drop-down to the current selected ID) is not [yet] supported. However, it can still be achieved will the following trick:
Where the formula used in the helper for validation is the following:
=TRANSPOSE(FILTER(Sheet2!B$2:B$7,Sheet2!A$2:A$7=A2))
and in the catergory data validation we have the following range:
=G2:2
For the different values, we can again make use of the FILTER formula. You can paste this into the C2 cell and extend it to as may columns and rows as required:
=FILTER(Sheet2!C$2:C$7,Sheet2!$B$2:$B$7=$B2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$7=$A2)
I have a budget spreadsheet for simple money transactions. One of the columns is the transaction category (e.g. Grocery, Auto Supplies, Insurance, Entertainment, etc.)
Rather than spell out, let's say, Insurance, in a given cell, I would like a list of possible values to appear, so that I can select one of the values (e.g., Insurance) and have Excel put that value in the cell for me. That way I make sure that Insurance is spelled the same each time I use it.
Is there an easy way to set this up in my workbook, preferably without getting into VBA coding?
You can create a dropdown lists in Excel. What I found from this video:
"
Select the cells that you want to contain the lists. On the ribbon, click the DATA tab, and click Data Validation. In the dialog, set Allow to List. Click in Source. In this example, we are using a comma-delimited list. The text or numbers we type in the Source field are separated by commas. And click OK. The cells now have a drop-down list.

I am trying to make a spreadsheet for my teachers that will assign them particular students to call each day based on how many periods they are absent during the day. I currently have a hyperlink set up on the Dashboard page so teachers can click their names and see a filter view of which calls they need to make for 8/24. Is it possible to make a single filter view that would simultaneously show where their name is assigned for 8/24 in Column H AND where their name is assigned for 8/25 in Column O? My goal is for them to click a single hyperlink on the Dashboard which takes them to all the calls they need to make for the week WITHOUT me having to make five separate links for each day of the week.
Solution
You should extend the Filter View range to cover the other columns you need to filter.
In this case for the "Amber" Filter View, you should have Range: A1:P116. Then select the proper filter on the column H and O: Filter by Values: Amber.
With the filter view still open, copy the URL in your browser and paste it in the HYPERLINK formula you have in the "Dashboard" Sheet.
Good day Ma'am/Sir, So I have a Google form from google drive, and a google sheets that contain the records for the dependent drop down.
I have 3 dropdown fields that dependent to each other, these are
-PROVINCE
-TOWN/CITY
-BARANGAY/DISTRICT
How this will work, If I select one record on "PROVINCE", the drop down list of "TOWN/CITY" will automatically populated depend on the selected item on the "PROVINCE". After that the drop down list of "BARANGAY/DISTRICT" will automatically populated depend on the selected item on the "TOWN/CITY" under "PROVINCE".
This are the screen shots of my for and library of address here in Philippines.
Form for encoding the profile of user, with dependent drop down.

This is possible with Array. Make one separate sheet to store all values. The category, sub-category 1 and sub category 2 will be in one column.
