Increase decrease arrows & % change in google spreadsheet - google-sheets

I need some help with a Google spreadsheet. I want to show a up/down arrow and a x% change next to the number within the cell (green if increased & red is decreased) from the cell above.
Here's the YouTube video for reference https://youtu.be/SFU5ZlHUdH0
Hope someone can help. Thank you.

It is basically the same as in your video. In order to put ▲▼ into the clipboard copy the arrows from my answer. Or you can use MS Excel or MS Word to put the arrows to the clipboard and same way they show in your video.
Then in the spreadsheet, select the percentage cells and click Format-> Number-> More Formats-> Custom Number Format... and type in the same format as on your video.

Please checkout the solution added to your output tab.
=QUERY(BYCOL(A1:F1,LAMBDA(afx,FILTER(input!A:F,COLUMN(input!A1:F1)=XMATCH(afx,input!A1:1)))),"Select * Where "&"Col"&XMATCH("STOCK",A1:F1)&">=10 AND "&"Col"&XMATCH("CODE",A1:F1)&"!='' AND "&"Col"&XMATCH("UNC",A1:F1)&"!=0 AND "&"Col"&XMATCH("UNC",A1:F1)&" IS NOT NULL",0)

Google Sheets: How Do I Colour A Cell In 2 Cases Context Based on Values From Another Sheet

I'm trying to create a heads up display on the number of Hints a user has collected in a contest.
There are different categories of hints here.
So I'm trying to create a process such that in the respective Hints tab (ie Bonus Hint in this case)
Filling in Column B (with the hint description), renders that Hint as being "obtained" and hence showing up "Green" in my Hints Overview sheet.
However, for "unobtained" hints, by not filling in Column B, I want my Hints Overview to instead still show the Hint number but in light gray (as illustrated below)
I dont want the unobtained hints to be empty cells. I want to make them looked grayed out. ^^^
I tried pulling some conditional formatting tricks like indirect(), ISBLANK() but something about CF just doesn't allow me to get what I desire.
And the other challenge is that because I arranged my headsup-display to be grid-like, the cell filling has to take on horizontal filling. Its not like as I can simply drag and fill 250 rows vertically.
How can I pull these things off in Google Sheets? (trust you guys to please dont maliciously edit my sheet out of mischief)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IG6l0xkJSU-mxP6YVr73RwinEcdxSePI4HN02KF-WoA/edit?usp=sharing
delete everything in DASHBOARD!D8:AB17
use this in D8:
=SEQUENCE(10, 25)
remove your green CF rule and set the font to gray
now add this new CF rule as custom formula:
=INDEX(VLOOKUP(D8, {ROW(INDIRECT("BONUS!B2:B"))-1, INDIRECT("BONUS!B2:B")}, 2, 0))<>""
and set background to your green and font to white
also change DASHBOARD!AD17 to:
=COUNTA(BONUS!B2:B251)

Google Sheets: How to display the result of a formula rather than the formula itself?

I'm using formulas to fetch text from a sheet to another but the text is often too long to be read in the cell itself. The formula bar is no help either because it shows the formula itself, rather than the result.
Does anyone have any suggestions to work this out?
Thanks
Try text wrapping in your menu. This will expand your cell.
You could allow overflow, text wrapping, or increase the row/column size to the size needed.

Google Sheets - Conditional Formatting - Counting In Reverse

I have a simple Google Sheet. On this sheet I am tracking a small budget. This includes the following:
Total budget
Expenses (as line items)
Total expenses
Remaining budget
What I am trying to do is setup conditional formatting so that the cell holding the Remaining budget changes colors based on the total being displayed. That part is straight forward. The issue I am running into is that the Remaining budget is displaying the Total budget minus the Total expenses.
The conditional formatting is assuming that this number is counting up instead of down. When I put the formatting rules in, they are displaying in reverse of what I am wanting.
Is there a way to have the conditional formatting do what its doing based on the numbers subtracting rather than adding?
I did try looking for someone else with this same question, but I didn't see anything that quite fit my issue.
I have shared the Google Sheet at the following link and allowed Editor rights on this link. You can find the Google Sheet HERE.
Based on my understanding, your main goal is to set the cell color to red when the budget left is zero, and change its color scale to green as the budget left increases.
You just need to change your Minpoint and Maxpoint number and color configuration.
As your budget runs out, it should change its color to red:
When your remaining budget is equal to your midpoint, it should change its color to yellow:
See my added sheet, "Erik Help." All I did was swap the order of your numbers (0, 600, 601) and then click on both the red and the green paint cans for the top and bottom and swap those (i.e., red for green, green for red).
ADDENDUM: Looks like "Ron M" explained this for you. I've implemented that in my added sheet. Please mark Ron's reply post as "Best Answer," since it will help future site visitors most, based on the visuals.

sumif function in excel to display percentage based on text

I am attempting to display a progress percentage in a single cell based on the choice of "completion" from a data validation list that spans multiple columns and cells.
I have attached a screen grab that will hopefully better explain. I would like the "Overall status cell (B3) to display the percentage of "Completes" that will track overall progress of requirements.
I have narrowed to a "sumif" function based on research and former templates but cannot achieve the desired result. Any help would be excellent. Thank you in advance.
You would want to do a =(COUNTIF(C5:C100, "Completed")/COUNTA(C5:C100)).
Obviously, you might want to change the range.
E2A: =SUMIF adds numbers together. Because you're looking at Text, you'll want to do a =COUNTIF and =COUNTA.
