Referenced text from other sheet not displayed as result - google-sheets

I previously had this working in my Google Sheet, but for some reason it no longer is.
I want to reference a cell from another sheet, for example, from the sheet titled 'Overall'
I type =Overall!N10 into the cell
I can see that it is the right formula because when I double click on the cell (to show the formula preview) it shows me the text in the box 'Difficult conversations'. However when click off that, it just show some other text "Palliative care".
I don't know why it's not displaying the formula preview in the cell:

Display link icon for a cell in Google Sheets

I know it might be easy but I can't find how to do it.
How can I display a link icon for a cell?
Both cells are on the same spreadsheet.
For example:
A1 should have a calculator image and link to cell G1.
when I insert an image I don't have the option to link to somewhere else.
HYPERLINK not working because it's not a hyperlink.
IMPORTRANGE doesn't works for me when I link the same spreadsheet to itself.
Please your advice
First you need to get a link to the cell, you can do that by performing the following.
Then Use that as the Hyperlink URL, and a reference to an image as the text to display
=HYPERLINK("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jUchM8h6Y8U17eBM-J1RydjQS4nae_5ktNb4G6vNv4U/edit#gid=0&range=I1", M2)

Google Sheets: How to fill cells in colour depending on the data indicated on another sheet

This is quite a hard question to explain. Here is how it looks.
I have a script on Google Sheets that exports data to Google Form quiz. There are 500+ questions in quiz, properly filled with that script. To put the Right answers (Key answers) in Google Form I need to fill right cells in Google Sheet in green colour, then the script will do its job.
Key answers are filled in column M. Digits: 1=(right key answer) in column 1 (I), 2=J, 3=K and 4=L.
Can I use a formula or a macro that will check column M and fill in green colour Right answer cells on the same row?
If I'm understanding you correctly, this can be done with a custom Conditional Format formula. Do the following:
Click on cell I4. Select from the menu Format > Conditional
Formatting
When the CF window opens, the "Apply to range" field
will say I4. Change it to I4:L.
Under "Format rules / Format
cells if..." click the dropdown arrow and select the last option:
"Custom formula is"
In the blank field that appears below that (it
will show a "Value or formula" placeholder), enter the following
custom formula: =(ISNUMBER($M4))*(COLUMN(I4)=COLUMN($I4)+($M4-1))
In the "Formatting style" panel, click the paint bucket icon and
select the background color of your choice.
Click the "Done" button and close the Conditional Formatting dialog
window.

url to export value from a specific cell in a google sheet

is there a possibility to get the value of a specific cell in a google sheet via a url? (as text/xml string whatever).
I need a calculated value from a cell on a other plattform. preferably just with a GET via a url.
thanks in advance for a tip.
This has been implemented a couple of years ago in Google Sheets:
Link to: A single cell in a sheet
Click on the spreadsheet cell to be referenced. For example, cell
C7.
Open the contextual menu (using secondary click: right-click,
ctrl-click, etc.).
Scroll down the menu and click on the "Get link to this cell" item.
The message "The link has been copied to the clipboard" will be
shown.
Paste the link's URL from the clipboard anywhere it's needed. It
will be similar to:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/<file-id>#gid=<sheet-id>&range=<cell>
Some things to notice about the arguments contained in the fragment identifier of this URL:
gid= – This is the ID of a sheet in the spreadsheet. New spreadsheets have one sheet with the ID 0. The ID of the currently visible sheet is usually shown in the browser's URL bar.
range= – This is the address of the referenced cell, in "A1 format" (column letter and cell number).
The contextual menu seems to be the only way in the GS UI to get cell URLs. There aren't any other menu items that do this.

Only show the first 10 characters in Google Spreadsheet cell followed by continuation character

I often have lots of data in spreadsheet cells but I don't necessarily want all the text to show in the cell as long as I can edit it in the formula bar.
So, for instance, I'd like to have the text "this text is a long sentence" in a cell but only display "this text is..." but if I click on the cell, the whole content displays in the formula bar so I can edit it.
I know that this relies on custom display formats but I can't find a way of making this work. There doesn't seem to be a placeholder for a single character, only the whole string (#).
EDIT
This is a link to the sheet ...
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ahi1CsGAiD02tvAmKuQAKnNemyYdh6AUb1GcrwZCubI/edit#gid=2014979721
... this is a mock up of what I'd like to see in the cell.
Can anyone help?

Assigning a macro to a cell instead of a drawing/text box

Is it possible to assign a macro/script to a cell in Google Sheets to cut out the need to have a drawing/text box to assign it to? I have a header in A1 which, when clicked, I would like to to take me to another sheet. The script I have works, it just looks a bit messy with a button over the cell
