Import specific rows and formulas from master sheet - google-sheets

I have been looking for hours now how to solve my problem, as it follows :
I want to duplicate this master sheet a hundred times and be able to let the end-users fill in the green cells, without breaking the IMPORTRANGE formula (cell A3).
Also keeping the original formulas (additions and multiplications) of the master sheet within the copied sheets would be a great plus.
I have tried multi things with QUERY formulas but I just can't sort it out.
Thanks in advance to anyone helping out !

How to link 3 columns together in Google sheets

I have 3 columns in a Google sheets tab.
Two of the columns are fed into from another tab (Sheet1) by the formulas =Sheet1!A2:A and =Sheet1!B2:B.
I am facing a problem when the 2 columns from sheet1 are sorted, the third column from sheet2 does not stay aligned with the other two and throws off my entire sheet's analysis. Is there a way to link the 3 columns together so when I sort from sheet1, all 3 columns from sheet2 are sorted and not just the first 2 that are being fed into from sheet1?
The short answer is that you can't. Sheets is not a relational database in which rows between sheets will remain linked.
What you can do is to work everything in a Master sheet so everything is sort together, or continue with your system but never "really" sorting your Sheet1. Instead, in any of both cases, you can use Filter Views. Filter views affect the way each user sees the information without altering the other users' views. That way you could just hide columns in Filter View in a single Master Sheet and everyone works in just one sheet; or "sort" the Master Sheet only when you're inside the Filter View, so the connected data always remain in the same rows.
I suggest you consider this possibility. Other ways are via scripts, which could be a headache by implementing it, always syncing and checking every kind of modification, sorting issue and more. Hope it's useful! There are many tutorials and documentation online; here you have just one as example

Google Sheets highlight any duplicate substring in a row

i'm trying to create a smart work schedule for my workplace.
Due to nature of our work sometimes one person has to be responsible for more than one lab. Some splits are possible to manage and some aren't.
I have a ready sheet (called Grafik podzielony) that processes information from another sheet (Grafik).
Work is divided into 3 shifts: 1st one 7:00am-11:00am, 2nd one - 11:00am-2:30pm and the 3rd one from 14:30pm onwards.
I'd like to highlight cells that contain substrings occurring more than once in a particular timeframe (e.g. 7-11am).
I've tried to do this in numerous ways and yet i've failed miserably.
Any help really appreciated.

UPDATE: Try this option that considers each value divided by "/":
=REGEXMATCH(B3;join("|";query(Query(transpose(split(join("/";$B3:$K3);"/";1;1));"Select Col1,count(Col1) group by Col1";0);"select Col1 where Col2>1")))

how can I write a formula that uses a cell's contents when building a range reference to the name of another sheet?

I have a large Google Sheets spreadsheet that has individual sheets for financial statements of activity for multiple years. I want to reference particular columns of those in other sheets, and I've successfully figured out how to do that with an HLOOKUP function. However, because I want to do this for multiple years, I'd like that HLOOKUP function to pick up the name of the sheet to reference from its column header. Right now, I'm hard-coding it like this—you can see the HLOOKUP range refers to cells in the "2021 Overall" sheet. The hard-coded approach works but makes adding a new year tedious. Ideally, the HLOOKUP formula would read the contents of its column header cell to determine which year it is.
As best I can tell, the solution is to use INDIRECT, but I can't figure out any way to build the formulate with INDIRECT and not get an error. For instance, this seemed like it should work. As you can see, I have 2021 in cell D4, and my INDIRECT statement is referencing that and building the rest of the range.
I've also tried using INDIRECT with an explicit CONCATENATE, with no more success.
Any ideas for how to look up that D4 cell and slide it into the HLOOKUP range?
Thank you!
Try to remove the "'"& before D4 and the ' after the Overall.
Your formula should look like this:
=IFERROR(HLOOKUP($A$2,INDIRECT(F4 &" Overall!$A$5:$X$150", Utility!$A10, FALSE)))
With Nikko's nudges in the right direction, I eventually figured out the right format. This allows the formula to work in multiple sheets and to be filled right (for more years) and down (for more classes).
=IFERROR(HLOOKUP($A$2,INDIRECT("'"D$4&" Overall'!$A$5:$X$150"), Utility!$A3, FALSE))
Note that if you try to replicate this, you may need to type the formula out from scratch—I had a problem where pasting it in didn't work. Once I'd retyped it and Google Sheets acknowledged it, it worked from then on in the spreadsheet, even when pasted from sheet to sheet.

Using a Named Range to identify worksheets to use a SUMIFS on a to add an array of data

Below is a sample of the Google Sheet I'm working on:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LDsfn_FMdUSfuFZAyuXf5gdlOSN9yLqhT1RY8aX7Nfs/edit?usp=sharing
On the spreadsheet Team Totals, I'm trying to calculate all the sales based on the date, the type of sale, and the program type starting from Row 27.
The problem I have run into is that the Named Range, Consultants, only pulls the data from the first cell of the Named range (Octo). What I want is for a formula that will pull the data of the selected range from each entry in the named range and sum them together.
For reference, I put what the proper values should be starting from Row 33.
The closest example I have seen was from this website: https://www.got-it.ai/solutions/excel-chat/excel-tutorial/sumif/sumif-across-multiple-sheets
However, I get the same problem that only the first cell in the named range gets pulled.
I feel like I'm missing something simple, but I have been bouncing it around my head for hours and can't figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated.
So after trying to figure out a way not to use an iterative process, I folded and did this:
=arrayformula(SUMIFS(INDIRECT("'"&$B$4&"'!F6:F100"),INDIRECT("'"&$B$4&"'!D6:D100"),$B$2,INDIRECT("'"&$B$4&"'!E6:E100"),E$27,INDIRECT("'"&$B$4&"'!A6:A100"),$A41)+
SUMIFS(INDIRECT("'"&$B$5&"'!F6:F100"),INDIRECT("'"&$B$5&"'!D6:D100"),$B$2,INDIRECT("'"&$B$5&"'!E6:E100"),E$27,INDIRECT("'"&$B$5&"'!A6:A100"),$A41)+
SUMIFS(INDIRECT("'"&$B$6&"'!F6:F100"),INDIRECT("'"&$B$6&"'!D6:D100"),$B$2,INDIRECT("'"&$B$6&"'!E6:E100"),E$27,INDIRECT("'"&$B$6&"'!A6:A100"),$A41)+
SUMIFS(INDIRECT("'"&$B$7&"'!F6:F100"),INDIRECT("'"&$B$7&"'!D6:D100"),$B$2,INDIRECT("'"&$B$7&"'!E6:E100"),E$27,INDIRECT("'"&$B$7&"'!A6:A100"),$A41)+
SUMIFS(INDIRECT("'"&$B$8&"'!F6:F100"),INDIRECT("'"&$B$8&"'!D6:D100"),$B$2,INDIRECT("'"&$B$8&"'!E6:E100"),E$27,INDIRECT("'"&$B$8&"'!A6:A100"),$A41)+
SUMIFS(INDIRECT("'"&$B$9&"'!F6:F100"),INDIRECT("'"&$B$9&"'!D6:D100"),$B$2,INDIRECT("'"&$B$9&"'!E6:E100"),E$27,INDIRECT("'"&$B$9&"'!A6:A100"),$A41))
This formula allows me to cut and paste it to various cells easily, and does the job I need it to, while still using the indirect reference so I can change names without breaking the formula (granted I change the worksheet name as well).
I will need to edit this to include all possible worksheet amounts I can forsee, but once it's done, I won't have to tinker with names anymore.
I'm not happy with this answer, as it creates a really long and ugly formula, essentially repeating the same formula 20 times, but it does work. I feel like there should be an easy function that would be able to do this.
This will return Total sales:
=if(isna(ArrayFormula(QUERY({Lo!$A$5:$F; Tulio!$A$5:$F;Ya!$A$5:$F; Miguel!$A$5:$F;Kevin!$A$5:$F; Octo!$A$5:$F}, "select sum(Col6) where Col1=date '"&TEXT(A28,"yyyy-mm-dd")&"' label sum(Col6) ''",0)))=TRUE,0,ArrayFormula(QUERY({Lo!$A$5:$F; Tulio!$A$5:$F;Ya!$A$5:$F; Miguel!$A$5:$F;Kevin!$A$5:$F; Octo!$A$5:$F}, "select sum(Col6) where Col1=date '"&TEXT(A28,"yyyy-mm-dd")&"' label sum(Col6) ''",0)))
BTW, I get Total sales of $0, $615.50 and $2,498.00
The best way to pull data from a lot of unknown tab names without a script is to actually CREATE the tab names beforehand. On your sheet it looks like you're anticipating/making space for 21 employees. If I were you, I would just create 15 more tabs named Temp7,Temp8,Temp9... etc. Then you can just "hide" those tabs. Then a formula can be built in your totals section that will easily stack all the tabs up using an array literal and a QUERY( { } ) to add up the totals for you without all this INDIRECT() nonsense that you have been going through to pull from the individual tab names.
Would pre-adding tab names be something you were interested in if I could show you the formulas to make the totals easy to calculate?

COUNTIF with IMPORTRANGE with date range and unique ID criteria

I haven't been able to find a solution to get this formula to work after multiple days of searching. The google spreadsheet we use is large and used by many people so I would like to keep this in a separate google sheet using IMPORTRANGE.
Data Needed:
Count of assignments a specific user completed within 7 days and after 7 days based on a start and end date.
Where I'm running into issues:
I simplified the equation by using a small data set in the same sheet to see the main issue. When giving a range for the user # the formula doesn't work anymore. When only comparing it to one user # at a time it does.
For example:
This doesn't work:
=COUNTIFS(C2:C-B2:B,"<7",A2:A,E2)
This one does but needs to have the range for the table to work:
=COUNTIFS(C2:C-B2:B,"<7",A2,E2)
I might be going about this all wrong. Any help I could get is much appreciated.
E2: =UNIQUE(FILTER(A2:A, A2:A<>""))
F2 and drag down: =COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA(DAYS(FILTER(C$2:C,$A$2:$A=$E2),FILTER(B$2:B,$A$2:$A=$E2))),"<=7")
G2 and drag down: =COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA(DAYS(FILTER(C$2:C,$A$2:$A=$E2),FILTER(B$2:B,$A$2:$A=$E2))),">7")
