I am sharing an editable Google sheet on my website (shared with any user on Google sheet side), using https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/[hash]/edit?rm=minimal
Adding the rm=minimal allows to remove the Google navigation and toolbar at the top.
Is there a way to remove the bottom bar allowing to add new sheets?
No.
A document may be shared as editable, or shared as not editable, or not shared at all.
There is not fine grained control over prohibiting the addition/deletion of individual sheets in the document.
That's why there's no URI argument to hide the UI elements relating to this feature — the feature is one of the things you're explicitly granting access to, by making the share editable.

I have a google sheets doc linked to another sheets document via IMPORTRANGE.
I wish to have a duplicate which mantains Values only without the link data, since i am lookin to update the data and make like monthly reports based on that.
Is there a way to duplicate the sheets via script or another function or either break the links but mantain the values?
Make the copy and enable the IMPORTRANGE(s).
Then select the entire sheet by clicking the blank rectangle just above the left-hand row numbers and to the left of the top column letters. With the sheet selected, click Ctrl-C to copy to clipboard.
With the full-sheet selection still active, hit Ctrl-V for "Paste Special." Look for a clipboard icon to appear lower-right on the visible screen area. Click it and choose "Paste values only."
I have a sheet that is shared with quite a few people. They are supposed to fill in 5 cells, click the script button and it will insert the text below and sort it by date.
I created the script and assigned it to the button for this.
I need to protect the entire sheet except the 5 cells and the button.
When I add the protection nobody can click on the button. Is there a workaround?
Answer:
You can use Protected Ranges to protect the sheet from edit with the exception of pre-defined cells.
Steps:
Follow the menu item Data > Protected sheets and ranges from the Sheets User Interface.
Click on the + Add a sheet or range button in the newly-opened sidebar.
Click the Sheet tab.
Select which of the Sheets you wish to have protected.
Mark the Except certain cells check-box with a click (✓) and select in A1 notation the 5 cells you wish for users to edit. For example D1:D6.
Click Ok
Click Set permissions
Keep Restrict who can edit this range selected with Only you as the selection in the drop-down, and press Done.
This is enough - from here anyone you share the sheet with will have edit access to the specific five cells you specified in the exception rule. The button is also clickable as long as the user has authenticated the function to run as them.

I have a very long google sheets document. I often have to go to a specific area of that document to input data. I want to have a sidebar with designated hyperlinks to areas in the document to minimize the time it takes to get to the area I need to edit. How can I create a sidebar that reads links from a hidden tab displaying all the links I want displayed in the sidebar?
most likely it's not possible as you imagine it. instead, take a look on hyperlink jumps... right-click the cell you want to jump in and select Get link to this cell:
then just paste it in your separate sheet or side column/frozen row
to make it nicer you can use HYPERLINK formula and assign some short alias
I have a spreadsheet in google sheets that has a lot of checkmarks:
I want to create another checkbox filtering system, either at the top, if possible, or on another tab if not. I've tried putting the filter at the top, but as I'm sure you know, it overwrites the data, so no bueno. I also tried this:
with this code:
=FILTER(Movies!A3:P1000,(IF(F2=0,Movies!F4:F1002=0,Movies!F4:F1002=1)))
Which doesn't seem to be doing what I want either? It's showing a random selection, it seems, rather than only the data with the F column being true.
Ideally, you click the checkmarks of the data you want to see, so, if you click the check under Andrew, Addison and Richie, it would only show the rows that had only Andrew, Richie, and Addison's checkmarks. I am fine with making the checkmarks a 0,1,2 list if needed. (Because checkmarks I think are only binary, unless they have an option somewhere to have a third option that I'm unaware of, and marking some data to not be seen if it doesn't have a checkmark would likely require a third option.)
this is what I've got
So I can create the dynamic drops downs using IF and Query in Google Sheets and this works great on one sheet. However, I need this to work over multiple sheets. Basically I need to be able to have the drop down menu in multiple cells on multiple tabs. This is the function I use to create the drop down menus:
=IF(Template!H1="6",FILTER(Sheet4!A:A,Sheet4!B:B=Template!G7),Query(Sheet4!A2:C500,"select B where A contains '"&Template!H1&"'"))
Template is one tab where people will find the drop down menus (from data validation pointing to the Sheet4 tab that holds this formula)
The problem is that the variables with Template in them are fixed to that one tab. I need to be able to have this drop down on multiple tabs.
Is there a way to call the tab you are on dynamically? If I have a Template2 tab I want it to be able to pull the lists from Sheet4 using the same type of filtering I am using for Template.
