Delete row based on column in Google Sheets - google-sheets

I have Google Sheets where I need to delete all the rows IF the Column contains the number 0. Any quick way to do this? I have over 20000 rows to go through and I don't want to do this manually.

An easy and old style method is sort on that column so that all the rows having that column value '0' are together. Then select all those rows using Ctrl + Page Down and then press delete. NO need to explore any fancy options for such simple things.
Another quicker option is to use filter. Select the column and then click Filter under the Data menu. Then from the drop down, select '0' for the filter by values. This will hide all the rows that don't contain 0 in that column. Then simply select all those rows and delete them.

Google Sheets: Inserting checkbox to an entire column (even if it grows)

I know you can fill a column with checkboxes easily.
But what if new rows are added? How to fill them too with checkboxes automatically?
With data validation rules.
When selecting the range, use something like K2:K and the checkbox will be inserted in new rows too.

Can I add a floating column to a Sheets query?

I have a Sheet like this [minimal] example. The "Data" tab is a running list of points different groups have scored. This is constantly updating. The "Results" tabs gets a list of all the unique group names from the Data tab and add them as a row in Column A. So, if an entry for "Group5" is entered on the Data tab, a row with that name will appear on the Results tab. Similar for the columns on the results tab. Each unique action on the Data tab becomes a column on the results tab.
I would like to add a "Total" column to the last column on the Results tab. The problem is, if a new "action" category appeared on the data tab, it would take up the last column and the Total column would need to shift over one. Is there a way to get the "Total" column to float so that it is always on the end without conflicting with the query formula?
In B1 cell put below formula-
={TRANSPOSE(UNIQUE(QUERY(Data!C2:C, "SELECT C where C is not null",0))),"Total"}
In B2 cell put below formula then drag down and right as needed.
=IF(OR($A2="",B$1=""),"",IF(B$1="Total",SUMIFS(Data!$D$2:$D,Data!$B$2:$B,$A2),
SUMIFS(Data!$D$2:$D,Data!$C$2:$C,B$1,Data!$B$2:$B,$A2)))

How do I put Checkboxes in certain rows based on rows having imported data?

I am building a series of sheets with multiple tabs. Based on the imported data a tab could have 30 rows in one week and 35 in another week. I want to have checkboxes at the beginning of each row so I can select rows to be imported into another sheet based on boxes being checked or not checked. Is this possible or do I just need to add checkboxes to column A and just deal with them going into rows with nothing left in the column?
I was initially putting the checkboxes on the sheets that I was making with the Imported Datasheet. This was giving me checkboxes that went on infinitely after I had imported 20 - 30 items in a query. My solution was to put the checkboxes on the first sheet (nobody sees it but me) and then the only checkboxes on the query sheet were attached to the lines of data.

Google Sheet Returned values from query into a drop down

so basically if i were to make a simple query, that pulls a few data. it would just paste the value in individual cell. Would it be possible for those return values be automatically made into a drop down?
Right click a cell that you would want the dropdown to exist in, select data validation. Then, use the "List from range" criteria and select the cells that your query result would display in.

How to import data from other sheet and list them?

I have Sheet1 and Sheet2in the same document. In Sheet1 from Row 2 (A2~ZX2) there are names. At Row 5 (A5~ZX5) there are checkboxes with custom values set to either 1 for checked, 0 for unchecked.
At Sheet2 I want to load Sheet1's A2~ZX2 values where their checkbox is unchecked.
I figured out that =Sheet1!$A1 can load from another sheet, but I don't know how to make as a list that automatically filters checkbox value.
I'm not sure that you need Sheet 2. Use the funnel looking icon to set up a filter on Sheet 1.
Please try:
=transpose(query(transpose(Sheet1!A2:ZX5),"select Col1 where Col4 <> TRUE"))
Leave off the outer TRANSPOSE for a list in a column rather than by row as in your source.
