Simple question really. Is it possible to hide certain sheets in a Google Sheet Doc from specific editors? The scenario is that each user has a page in which they fill in data. Only they can change data on their page based on sheet protection. For aesthetic purposes and ease of use, I'm trying to find out whether I can hide all sheets except the one the user has permission to edit.
Unfortunately it is not possible because if you hide or show a sheet - it will apply for anyone who opens it.
You can write a script that will show a certain sheet - depending on the user who opened the spreadsheet, but if another user opens the same spreadsheet simulateneously - this will lead to conflict behavior.
As a workaround, I can recommend you to create a different spreadsheet for every user plus a master spreadsheet to which all the separate spreadsheets will be synched with =IMPORTRANGE
In this scenario, you as the only master spreadsheet editor will have access to all data, while the users have only permissions for their spreadsheet
Another workaround would be to implement sheet protections (this is different from hiding sheets!).
In this case, every user can only edit the sheet he is entitled to, but he can still view the other sheets.

I want to share a spreadsheet with 4 users.
is there any way to hide all sheets from 3 users and only share a specific sheet/tab with them while the other editor and owner can view all the tabs?
if there is a way it requires a script which means that in order to hide sheets from those 3 users, those 3 users will need to "install" the script on their google accounts, eg. if they don't then all sheets are visible for them.
maybe a better way is to set up a separate spreadsheet and use IMPORTRANGE just for those 3 users
also, note that hidden sheets can be easily unhidden (they are still visible/viewable)
I am trying to find a way to link several google forms to one google sheet without separate tabs. I am creating a database so I want different employees to be responsible for different sections of the same spreadsheet.
You need to use "IMPORTRANGE". I had to do that recently. https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093340?hl=en You have to tell the receiving sheet what range of the feeder sheets to import and then give permission.The trick is, if someone adds columns to a feeder sheet, you have to make sure the data is not "overlapping" in the receiving sheet. Otherwise, you'll get an error.
I have build an online Google spreadsheet. That spreadsheet accessed 6 person everyday.
I made 5 sheets in my spreadsheet Meals, Marketing, Contribution, Cakculator and Notes
I want to protect these sheet from other user. I gave limited area to protect my data. I have done that. But unable to protect my sheet options.
See screenshot:
Delete, Hide, Rename, Duplicate, Copy to.. options should access only owner who is created this spreadsheet. Can you Please tell me how to do that?
As you are the owner the options will always appear for you. If you set the protections and share the file then open it with another account or sing out and open it and you should see the protections are in place.
I have Team of 15 people updating there data of call backs and other info in the Microsoft Excel

Everyone should have there own passwords to open there but an Admin should have access to all of there data in those sheets. I hope you understood my needs. I know its possible with Google Sheets but i don,t know how to prepare one as am new to this platform.
Please Help.
If you use
=importrange("sheet url", "range you want to import")
on a separate sheet, it will update dynamically as they change things - I have done this specifically with remote employees previously

How to link to worksheet?
What is the purpose of the link?
If you have a whole lot of worksheets and just want to open the one that you look at in the dashboard, you can cllick the small "go to" icon in the top right corner of the graph.
To actually create an action that links to a worksheet is not possible and doesn't seem to make sense, since the URL action is meant to create a link based on a certain value in your data, however no matter what data is displayed, you will always end on the same graph.
In case you want to further investgate certain data you select, you could create a filter in the same dialogue that filters other graphs in your dashboard based on the values you select.
