I have an Excel document in which I would like to refer to the previous sheet in the present sheet systematically. Of course, I could type the name of the previous sheet directly into the formula in every sheet of the document, but that is way too impractical.
I have tried using VBA/macros to create a function that refers to the previous sheet successfully on a PC, but this does not work on an iPad.
That leads to the actual question: is there any smart way to systematically and automatically refer to the previous sheet (in any sheets except the first one) on the iPad-version of Excel?
Note: I excuse if this have been asked before, but I have searched thoroughly without any worthful answers.

Hy, I am using Yahoo Fantasy Football and I have design Google Sheet to get the score data which is the working fine. The link to the sheet is as under.
Google Sheet Link
I have changed the permission to Editor. I have made a drop-down which holds the information of Week numbers. Basically, my idea is that by choosing the week number I want to populate the data from yahoo fantasy football. For importing data, i am using this command.
=importhtml("https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/683375","table",1)
and this command is working well.
I tried it by using the same command but it does not works for the week numbers. The source of the page is as under.
so according to the given picture, here is the week number, I want to implement the same in the google sheet by using the dropdown. I have implemented the drop down but it does not work. Is there a way to interlink both using scripts or command so from google sheet when I chose week from the drop-down the concerning data should be populated? please take a look at the Google Sheet given above. I am also getting this error, while it was working fine before, how can it be resolved also.
Thanks
IMPORTHTML cannot retrieve elements dynamically inserted by a script. In your case the content on Week matchups is inserted dynamically and therefore will not be retrieved (it will return empty). Moreover, IMPORTHTML olny gets data from tables or lists and if you inspect what it seemed to be a table in Week Matchup is just actually a series of divs. If the content would not be inserted dynamically, to get the data from these divs you would need to use IMPORTXML.
If you still want to retrieve this information I am afraid that you will need to look for other web scraping techniques.
I am trying to find a way to link several google forms to one google sheet without separate tabs. I am creating a database so I want different employees to be responsible for different sections of the same spreadsheet.
You need to use "IMPORTRANGE". I had to do that recently. https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093340?hl=en You have to tell the receiving sheet what range of the feeder sheets to import and then give permission.The trick is, if someone adds columns to a feeder sheet, you have to make sure the data is not "overlapping" in the receiving sheet. Otherwise, you'll get an error.
I have two google sheets. In one I have created a function and want to put it into the other. In the first sheet it works great and has no issues, in the second sheet it seems to automatically insert the "continue(1,2,) etc.
The code I have, which works in the first sheet is:
=SPLIT(ADDTOTAL(SORT('REPORT LOOKUP'!F1:F35)),",")
(Addtotal is a custom script) but in the second sheet where it seems to autoinsert the "continue" it has duplicates and additional columns.
Anyone know what the issue woudl be, how I can turn off the continue if I need to?
Thanks
Sigh- much pain could have been avoided if I had checked dates the sheets were created. The difference is that the one sheet is a new google doc, the other old. The new sheets do not behave the same way as the old, they no longer use the "continue" function but just post the data.
I am trying to organize my paypal revenue information by copying it into a google spreadsheet.
However, paypal writes my payments as "=+ $16.00USD" and it can not be read in google because it thinks its a function giving me an "#ERROR~"
How would I go back solving this without manually editing all the numbers.
If you are trying to convert the string into currency IN EXCEL, copy the values into a worksheet and in the next column enter the following formula:
=VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"=+ $",""),"USD",""),CHAR(34),""))
IF you are trying to use Google Spreadsheet, submit a new question with Google spreadsheet and not excel as the tags.
Not sure whether you count this as "manual editing" but selecting the cells, Edit, Find and Replace..., Find =+, check Also search within formulae, Done should remove the #ERROR! message.
You might want to do something similar for $ and USD if to process the value/s in some way.
I have been converting some of my old Google spreadsheets to the new one recently released. The people at Google tell you to copy over the sheets from the old sheet into a new spreadsheet.
The problem I'm experiencing is:
after you copy all your sheets over to the new spreadsheet, then you rename the tabs back to the original names, e.g. get rid of the "copy of" infront of the name, all formulas that have a reference to another sheet will be a "#REF". To fix it is easy, you just go to the cell and hit F2 then ENTER. The problem is I have tons and tons of link. It would take me a long time to convert each sheet and manually reset all of the "#REF"s everywhere. Does anybody know how to do it all at once?
A Google engineer helped on this.
You have to figure out the best order to copy the sheets over in. Copy the sheet that has the fewest references to other sheets first. If the exact sheet name isn't there when you copy over a sheet with a link it will raise a #REF error, so where possible make sure the referenced sheet is in the new sheet with the exact name before copying over.
