I want to make a dropdown list in my spreadsheet. I did it using data validation but I want to make an arrow in the cell for that list.
All the answers suggest the solution in the photo which I can't find it in my spreadsheet at all.
right click on a cell, row, column or range
click on the last option - Data validation
window opens which will look like your picture

I have a horizontal bar chart where one of the bars on the chart needs to be dynamic based on a user selection of checkboxes in a google sheet. I can get this to work with one checkbox "=IF(C5=TRUE,D5+100,100)" but not sure how to get to work when multiple check boxes are selected.
enter image description here
I have a "Base UPH" of 100 and just need to add the values in the "Multiplier" column if the checkbox(s) are TRUE. The idea is that the user could select one or all of the checkboxes and see how the "C-Dynamic" would be improved.
Any tips, much appreciated Thanks!
Able to get to work, but only for a single checkbox with this formula: =IF(C5=TRUE,D5+100,100)
You could do it with SUMIF, like this:
=100+SUMIF(C5:C8,TRUE,D5:D8)
I was wondering if someone could help me create a drop-down list in a single cell on google sheets that only displays the months names but also keeps their values
Until now I’ve been able to create the list but when I go to select the month it changes into day-month-year form
Thank you,
Gabe
The way i understood your question, the easiest way to do it would be to just use data validaion: Select cell you want and in toolbar menu go Data>Data Validation>List of items and just paste this January,February,March,April,May,june,July,August,September,October,November,December
Then format cell as plain text: Select cell you want and in toolbar menu go Format>Number>Plain Text
Hope this is what you need.
I have a column that has dropdown list with data validation, and its applied infinitely down that column. So I have lots of cells with the little dropdown arrow which is annoying.
Is there a way to remove that dropdown arrow....IF say "Date" or "Name" column is empty?
I want the drop to to show only when I have started inputting data to that row, I will never start with the drop down, I start with date. So ideally, as soon after entering the date, the dropdown arrow appears.
Can that be done? Thanks!
You can remove the dropdown arrows by unchecking Show Dropdown List in Cell on Data Validation dialog:
This will show the dropdown list only when you start entering data to the cell.
image <- I have a google sheet like in the photo. When I check the box behind the cars here, the name of that car is written in the result section. I want that when I tick one of the two checkboxes, the other will not be checked. That is, only one of the two checkboxes should be selected at a time. When one is selected, the other should not be selected. How can I solve this with google sheets formulas without writing app script code?
image2 <- The formula in cell D2:
=IFS(COUNTIF(A2, TRUE),B2,COUNTIF(A3, TRUE),B3,COUNTIF(A2, False),"",COUNTIF(A3, False),"")
One checked checkbox at a time (similar to a radio button behavior) isn't actually supported in Google Sheets at the moment.
However, there are certain ways to circumvent this kind of issue. It can be via Apps Script or Sheets itself.
Since you are looking for a Sheets related solution, an alternative would be using an in-cell dropdown instead of checkboxes. That way, you could only select just one car at a time and you don't need complex formula to get the chosen value itself, you just need to set the cell formula to =B2 to get the dropdown chosen value.
Sample:
To add a dropdown in Sheets, see the reference below:

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
