Does anyone know how to write a script that will allow me to have a list become visible based on the text in a particular cell in my sheet?
Here is what I am trying to do: I am trying to create personalized book lists for my students based on the specific classes they are enrolled in. So, when I choose the class, I would like the book list to automatically populate so that I can create a list for each student without much time involved for each student. Also, some classes may involve multiple books, so these would need to be on separate lines in the spreadsheet. Is this even possible?
I hope this will help you just go your sheet Data -> Validation then you can create Dropdownbox so to achieve your requirement create two sheet in your working sheet then give validation finally do a connection with classes and books

I'm self thought in data studio and am currently creating a database of all my companies customers. As a part of this database, I want our sales team to have access to all of the customers past and current information. This includes a unique link to a companies profile. We work off Google Sheets so I have a google sheets document with the customers information including the unique link. This would currently be fore 1,700 customers so I can't do them manually!
I want to make a nice button that would say "Customer profile" which would be created from this unique hyperlink. The only way I can figure out doing this is by using a one cell table and having the long hyperlink displayed. Is there a way I can use an image to create a unique button when the database is filtered? I.E if I filter the database to show company X's information a button will have their profile pulled from the sheet.
Additionally (a lesser question because it's more for ease instead of functionality), there is a form that our sales team can fill out during the call which I currently have embedded. Is there a way to embed a JotForm form through google sheets also? It means we would be able to pre-populate the form and the sales-person wouldn't have to waste time filling out a customer reference or company name etc.
Any help would be really appreciated! Please let me know if any more information is needed.
This is only an answer to your first question.
You can create a Calculated Field in your data source.
Here:
Let's say that you have "Company_Name" and "Website_URL" fields in your data source. Calculated Field will look like this:
HYPERLINK(Website_URL,Company_Name)
Then you name this field for example "Company_Website_Link" and add this to your work.
I am trying to work on a google sheet where one Tab will be an entry form and another will be a database. I need the form to be used by multiple users. Currently the Form tab displays all changes to other users so multiple users cannot use it at the same time.
Is there a way to allow 1 user to see their own entries and a 2nd user to see different entries. When they press my button it should record their individual entries on the database tab.
I cannot use Google Forms for this project due to the complexity of the form and the need for cascading drop-down lists and dynamically available information on the form.
Thanks
After researching extensively, the answer to my question is that there does not seem to be a good way of doing this.
My final approach was to create a tab for each user with the calculations, cascading dropdowns, and buttons/scripts that affected their specific sheet and recorded data on the database tab based on their specific sheet.
Hopefully, this helps the next guy who is searching for this answer. If anyone has found a way to solve this, let me know so I can test and give you credit for solving what I could not.
I want to select only certain rows and columns and use the same "summary of responses" feature but for limited data rather than all of it. Is this possible?
The report is with ALL DATA from this sheet - I want the exact same output but with only certain email addresses.
Google Form: bit.ly/bilvalchal_results
If I have a google spreadsheet can I make a summary of only selected data?
Yes, but I think your Title may be misleading. I thought at first you wanted any summary but now believe you want the specific format provided by Form > Show summary of responses, and that is quite different.
Is this possible?
In essence, I think not. For example, in Excel it is easy enough to avoid charting data simply by hiding it. That seems not to work here. Even deleting data in the Form responses sheet does not change the Summary of responses.
This presumably because both the Form responses sheet and the Summary of responses are distinct views of server-side data. I doubt there is a means for a user to control the code that drives the Summary of responses, whose data is gathered from the individual form submissions (as is the data shown in the responses sheet). Submissions have spawned both the sheet and the Summary but the two are independent of one another.
On the other hand.
As mentioned by #zeroCoder, equivalent results might be obtained by a user though it would seem with a considerable effort. A script may be required to set the chart type to use for each question by question type (if to avoid an ad-hoc basis, Form by Form). Once the type appropriate to each column has been determined it would be a little tedious but not difficult to create the corresponding chart. Adjusting the formatting, scales etc to match that of Summary of responses would also be tedious but with a script would not need to be purpose-built for each Form individually.
That said, I hope I am crassly mistaken and that actually it is quite easy. I suspect however you would have heard by now were that so.
Another option is to use the Awesome Tables web app. It allows filtering of your data (and more). It is available as a gadget on Google Sites.
So this doesn't use the built in feature exactly but it does the trick.
Take your sheet with all the rows and figure out which columns you want to show.
Create a new sheet called preview or whatever.
in the top cell for each column reference the row from the responses sheet like this ={'Form Responses 1'!A:A}
Then hit File>Publish to web and chose to publish your Preview sheet only.
Get your shared link (shorten it if you must).
Post that url in your form only and presto.
You win!
You need to use pivot tables here are some tutorials on how to use them:

I haven't even attempted this yet and am creating this question for advice really.
I have a strongly typed page which receives a form model composed of several components. It is to create a mitigating circumstance (MC) for a student at a university for my final year project. A MC can be composed of the initial problem, assessment extensions, and I use a multi select box to allow the user to select staff retrieved from the database which are able to view the MC once created.
The thing is I feel that a student could be granted many assignment extensions for one problem. I am wander if it is possible to include a button/image on the form which when clicked will create a new assessment extension object, and duplicate the form components to set the values for the object? This would all need to occur without any page refreshes.
Any advice, or links to good tutorials would be appreciated. I have so far been unable to find any suitable examples.
Thanks,
Jon
There are a number of ways to do this, but the fastest is to create a javascript handler which creates the form controls without any sort of server request, all you need to do is keep track of how many items are in your list so you can name the form controls correctly.
Start by making a button that when you click on it creates form controls. Once you get that, work on the naming.
I need to generate a user interface for entering a sales document (eg invoice). I'm trying to use components of "developer express" specifically the QuantumGrid component (TcxGrid). I've seen the demos of master-detail components and search in the devexpress support center, but none has helped me because all use 2 grids to handle the master-detail relation, and edit multiple records at once.
I just need to edit a record (document) at a time and using a pair of objects dataware components (eg TDBEdit) in the header and a grid to handle the detail.
something like this
Where can I find a basic example of using these components in this way?
Tthe Master/Child properties in the QuantumGrid are mainly designed to nest multiple items in the grid. If you setup the relationship in the data components you can simply hook the controls up to the correct DataSource and everything will work.
So if you have two DataSets Customer and Invoice. The Invoice Master Datasource is the Customer DataSource. Then on your edit controls you point to the Customer DataSource and you point the Grid to the Invoice DataSource.
If you think about what the Master/Detail relationship is doing it really just filters the records on the Detail DataSet to match the current record on the Master DataSet. Individual Edit controls will always display the "current" record in the DataSet they are connected to. Grids will show all visible records in the DataSet they are connected to.
I have a tendency to not use Master/Detail relationships in an edit form like you show here. I'm assuming there is some way on a different screen to pick the invoice to edit. I usually create a copy of the needed DataSets with only the records needed for this edit. If I am editing a existing invoice I copy the current records. If it is a new invoice I can start off with an empty recordset. It is more work - I have some generic library functions that will copy a DataSet Structure and then copy one or more records into that Dataset. Depending on your setup you can also requery your Database to just get the records you are interested in. Obviously that should not be done in all cases. Another issue with this approach is you need a way to update any other Datasets you may have with this data - i.e. your main search screen.
However, once I get on the edit screen I find it makes things eaiser. Now I don't need to worry about the master detail relationship at the top level. If the invoice has internal Master/Detail relationships you can just deal with those, but you know that the DataSets only have the data for this one invoice - not everything in the Database.
In the case of your form if you limit the Data in the DataSets you can just hook everything up directly and it should work as you expect. You would only have one record in the Customer DataSet and the invoice would just have the records for this Invoice.
I think you'll need to take care of the master-detail relations in your ClientDataSource components. The grid will then follow this relation.
Why don't you ask this at support#devexpress.com ?
The reason why I have a vcl subscription is, apart from the quality of the components of course, because they do have a great support site and staff ?
There you ask it directly to the people who have written the stuff, and they are most likely happy to supply you with a sample program (at least I have received a lot of samples over the years).
The premise is the same as with any other master-detail relationship, regardless of the components. You will need to setup the master-detail on the dataset level to accomplish what you want.
