In Google sheets, I have multiple sheets/tab in one spreadsheet file. I want to trigger a action when I switch from one tab to another i.e. when I click on the tab name / sheet name. Is this possible?
I'm looking for the same solution. The only answer I've come up with is to hide all sheets but one and force the user to click a button to select a sheet to be unhidden, afterwhich the current sheet is hidden.

I want to fix my "Drawings Button" to one position in google sheets so that when I scroll through the sheet they are always in the same position as a menu
so... the user always has the options available in front of him.
This is the link for my sheet

You can freeze your top rows and put them inside.
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 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
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.
is there a way in google spreadsheet to create an anchor text in order to jump from one row to another with a simple click without page reloading?
I'm not able to find a way...
Thank you
This is an old question, but I seem to have found a solution:
Select the Set of Cells you want to link to (Left-click + Drag)
Right-Click the Selected Cells ==> Select "Get link to this range"
The Sheet Link will now be copied to your clipboard and can now be accessed by anybody who has access to the sheet.
