Google Sheets - Validation list to default on selection in another cell, but still provide drop-down options - google-sheets

I'm stuck on this one, and after a number of google searches am now wondering if I'm the only person who's ever tried to do this.
I have a google sheet that users are required to fill in. There is a drop-down selection option at the top, specifying the region the user needs the file for.
However, as the user gets down to the lines for the individual items required, some (a small number) may not be for the region selected at the top.
So what I'm trying to do is add the regions to the individual lines. The default for each line should be the region selected at the top, so this should show as pre-selected. But I want the user to be able to still click on a drop-down arrow and select a different region for a line.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Thank you!

Okay,
I'm unsure of your expected outcome, your request is also not very clear -
What I've done is created a list via Data validation, however, if a user enters data into the adjacent column:

also it's good practice to share an example of your workbook for others to edit and work on.
let me know if this is what you wanted.

Dynamically update a Bar Chart by user selecting checkboxes in Google Sheets

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)

google sheets - how reset data labels that have been changed manually?

I'm trying to reset data labels that have been changed manually in google sheets bars chart, and I can't find it in any of the options of the "chart editor". I always get back the last numbers that was inserted manually, and not the original data from the table at question.
I tried to edit it in the "Setup" section, under the "Series" and pick the data range again, but couldn't find a way that works. maybe I'm missing something.
the only way I can think of, of course, is building the same graph again, but this is not smart when I have so many graphs to update
help pls
select the given single data label you want to reset, then right click it and choose "Format data point" > "Revert to default"
haven't found a way to revert multiple at the same time, might need to recreate the chart for that

How do I make a sheet filter only show checkmarked rows with multiple variables in G-Sheets

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

How do I select a specific custom view in a google sheet using code

I have a Google sheet with a column that is used to discriminate across various centers. Each row identifies the appropriate one by its email address.
I am creating as many subviews as there are email addresses and would like to:
Enumerate them
Switch to each one of those sub-views
Do you know if it's possible to do and, if so, how? My google-fu seems lacking.
It is possible, but it depend of what you expect as output, does the output need to be editable or does it only need to be viewable. In the hypothesis of the second option you could use a formula "filter" instead of the "filtered views" the formula filter can be based on on specific cell where you put a drop down of all your options. eg here

Implement a dropdown history in a UITextField or similar component

I have a case where users enter a string, and would like the users to be able to quickly select the previously entered, and validated options they have entered before.
Currently the user enters text via a UITextField, ideally I'd like to keep this, or aesthetically this at least, and have a list of the previously validated inputs drop down below, where tapping any of them would fill the UITextView.
Basically I want a dropbox, which is simply filled with previous inputs, but those inputs are not listed on the main UI, only when the user selects the text view.
Can anyone point me towards how to acomplish this?
