I have a Google Sheet that is filled from a Google Form, and I need to apply functions in some columns of each row that is not been filled (inserted).
When the user fills the form the data goes to the sheet but the functions shifted to the next row by itself, but I want to apply the function in the same row.
You just need to use arrayformula so in N2 you would enter:
=IF(ISNUMBER(J2:J),J2:J+M2:M,)
This causes the formula to run itself down the sheet only once there is a value in the cells your trying to add. This way it doesnt prevent new entries from being added

I have a google sheet, Names, populated by a google form. In another sheet, copiedNames, I am referencing Names column B starting from row 100 ='Names'!B100:B and have drop filled this formula into the all the cells below. The row numbers in copiedNames are not the same as the row numbers in Names.
When a new google form entry is input into Names, the formula in copiedNames break. I understand that this is because new rows are being inserted into Names and copiedNames is referencing rows after the inserted rows. How do I reference the inserted rows so that I can keep referencing the new names as they come in?
I've seen suggestions to try arrayformula, index, indirect, but I can't figure out something that works.
It worked to use =Arrayformula('Names'!B100:B) in a single cell and not drop fill the cells underneath.
I have on my sheet many columns, so I want to highlight the cells on column A that contains a specific value. eg. I have on column A 200 rows, I want to highlight the CELLS that contains "2019" value. This is it and please keep in mind that I want to highlight not to change color.
Unfortunately, this type of action can't be done in Google Sheets other than manually holding CTRL key and selecting cells of interest.
Is there a formula on spreadsheet that will remove the rows if the value of the cell is empty? For example =if(A2 = "","hide row A1", "show A1"). I am using Google Form and Form Publisher addons to generate new spreadsheet base on the value that I have inputted on my forms.
Or is there any way to do this?

Formulas are just Custom Functions return value(s), you need to solve that with Script or hide it manually.
Check that may help you
Hide Row in Google Sheets if Cell Contains "no" - Multiple Sheets
Filter Or Hide Row
Formulas just return a value or an array of values, they can't hide/show rows. You could use FILTER, QUERY among other combined Google Sheets functions to return just the need values.
Another alternate is the use of Google Apps Script
You cannot hide the row but can make its contents invisible. Use conditional formatting to change font color of entire row to 'white'
I have made a simple formula, based on cells in the same row, to indicate to the user that they have entered enough information - and it works as needed .
=IF(AND(ISTEXT(B20),ISNUMBER(C20),ISNUMBER(E20),ISTEXT(F20)),"Ok",IF(AND(ISBLANK(B20),ISBLANK(C20),ISBLANK(D20),ISBLANK(E20),ISBLANK(F20)),"","MORE INFO"))
However, when I click the built in "add more rows" button at the bottom of the sheet the formula is not present in the new cell - but any dropdown menu or validation I've used in the cells not containing the formula are present in the respective added cells of the new row. Any Ideas why just the formula is missing ? Thanks.

When you add additional rows, Sheets assumes you want to continue the same dataset and, therefore, applies the existing formatting as well as Data Validation. It does not, however, copy formulas automatically as that would be adding actual new data to your sheet.
You can use an ArrayFormula version of your formula to populate the entire column, which it would continue to do as you'll add more rows of data. Assuming your data starts at row 2 (below the header), try this:
=arrayformula(if(istext(B2:B)*n(C2:C)*n(E2:E)*istext(F2:F),"Ok",if(len(B2:B)+len(C2:C)+len(D2:D)+len(E2:E)+len(F2:F),"MORE INFO",)))
I'm attempting to get Google Sheets to function like a Database, where sheets can "talk" back and forth to one another. Basically, a column on one sheet can auto-populate another column on a different sheet, and vice versa. HOWEVER, the other criterion is that the columns aren't necessarily in the same location on each sheet. In addition, there are many individual cells that merely have to talk back and forth to another, so it can't just be whole columns sharing information back and forth.
It's a little hard to explain, so I've attached the Sheet in question:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12MFlAqZGQsW6wxwSUyNaYJoFD3_Kt5uK7g88Tj_fAms/edit?usp=sharing
Dummy information has been entered into the columns on each sheet to show where the information should be flowing.
There are quite a few picklists in the Sheet, and those would still have to be able to function.
There is another discussion which touches upon this process:

The issues with the above solution is that I don't need the other sheets to be hidden, and I have four sheets, most likely seven when the Sheet is completely finished.
It's a complicated Sheet that has to be as user-friendly as possible.
I do this most often with the importrange function. If you need to reorder columns in the second sheet you can specify a single column as you range and place it in any column you need in the new sheet. Using multiple import range formulas in successive columns you can then reorder your data set. This approach is dynamic so any time your original data changes, the associated sheet updates as well.
If you only want to update the second sheet at certain times or on command you can do this with a script and a time trigger or a button object placed somewhere on the first sheet that is associated with the script. The script would read the data from the originating sheet and the write it back to the second sheet in any order you wish.
