I have on my sheet many columns, so I want to highlight the cells on column A that contains a specific value. eg. I have on column A 200 rows, I want to highlight the CELLS that contains "2019" value. This is it and please keep in mind that I want to highlight not to change color.
Unfortunately, this type of action can't be done in Google Sheets other than manually holding CTRL key and selecting cells of interest.
Say I have the string "1,2,3,4". Is it possible to paste that string into Google Spreadsheets in such a way that each of the comma-separated values goes into a different cell to the right of the selected one?
This is what the spreadsheet would look like after pasting.
Since the file is a CSV. Ensure it is saved with the .CSV extension and upload the file to google sheets.
You also have the option of opening it with Microsoft excel and then pasting the cell formatted text into the google sheet.
Also You can paste the comma separated values into the google sheet and then click the paste icon that appears below the cell and select the 'Split text into columns' Option
Enter into the spreadsheet
=SPLIT("1,2,3,4", ",")
No. If you try inserting any formula by overwriting the selected cell the data the formula needs will be overwritten, hence not be available to the formula.
You could use say:
=split(A1,",")
to obtain the results you want to the right of the cell with data in, but this would have to be placed to the right of the cell with data, not in it.
#Treyten's A would also achieve the result you seek except that it would not be to the right of the chosen cell (etc) but in the chosen cell (and to its right etc, assuming the usual LTR).
Similarly with #tks.tman's A. The contents spill out to the right but they do not start in a "cell to the right of the selected one" but in the selected one.
First select the cell on of your action and click Data
1st step
Now, select 'split text to column', it will name it a number
2nd step
now, again goto data and select split text to column open it will transfer every comma separated element into individual columns
3rd step

Is it possible to fill a cell with data from another cell based off the content of a different cell? I have a drop down menu in one cell, and when I select something from that menu, I would like the cell next to it to search a database on that sheet that the drop down is based off of. it has a second row with different values I would like to appear in the next column. I think about it, and it should seem easy, but I'm having troubles explaining it.
You could use VLOOKUP() to search the list based on the dropdown cell value. Ref
I have been sent a pivot table in excel 2010, and the data in the cell is linked to data not visible on any of the sheets when double clicked. When the cell is clicked on a new sheet is created with data not previously visible on any sheet. However, when I use the pivot table tools to search for the data source it leads me to data in one of the visible sheets and does not allow me to click on the external data source section. I would like to create something like this/ understand how the cells are simultaneously linked, as I do not understand which data is most relevant to the cell.
My hunch is that you have selected a calculated field (select your PT, PivotTable Tools > Options > Tools - Formulas, List Formulas). In other words, you are able to see the relevant source data in your spreadsheet but you are not recognising it as it does not look familiar to you because a formula in the PT has combined or modified this data.
Note, above based on Excel 2007 however.
