Is it possible to disable EDIT in a few columns of a google spreadsheet for shared users - so that only the owner has the edit permissions for all rows and columns?
Thanks.
You can protect subParts of a worksheet in google docs. Select the cells you want to protect and then perform following clicks --> "Data" --> "Name and Protected Ranges" --> Name your range and check the checkBox "protect"
I found this answer here maybe it will help
Create a spreadsheet.
On the first sheet, Sheet1, create the style of the form you want for people to enter information. Leave this sheet unprotected
When you've got the form looking good, duplicate Sheet1.
Rename the duplicated sheet 'Summary', or something appropriate. Protect this sheet.
On the sheet Summary, make links to the data on Sheet 1, so mirrors Sheet1.
for example, in cell A2 on the Summary sheet, type in =Sheet1!A2
Have users enter data on Sheet1
Have users refer to the Summary sheet for the calculations or the summary of the information.
As I know, you can lock only single sheets, no custom columns. So maybe if you will use separate sheets for protected data, it is possible to solve it. For protecting sheets, you can try Tools -> Protect sheet...

I'm using Query and Importrange to pull details from other tabs on a Google Sheet.
The other tabs are linked to individual Google Forms.
I'd like to include the name of the sheet the data came from in the query but can't figure out a way to do this.
Any ideas?
I did try having a column on each sheet that contained the name of the sheet i.e. a column on sheet1 where all the entries are sheet1. Then with the query have that column included in the selection.
However, when new Google Forms submissions are made, a new row is added (I think) and the column that contains the sheet name now has a empty entry where the new row was added.
I'm not able to share the sheet as it contains student info from school and it's not-shareable outside my organisation.
Most likely you are using a drag-down style formula within the form responses tab which would cause this rows not aligning with your already included formula as & when new responses pop in!
You could just use an arrayformula accommodated in the first row_cell itself as shown in the screenshot and it should fix this thing. Please do test it out and let us know if its solved or aint.
=INDEX(IF(LEN(A:A),"SHEET 1",))
I am looking to share a Google Sheet with 150 users in a way where every person can only edit one row.
I know how to do this manually, using set permissions, but I was wondering if there was a quicker way to accomplish this task. I have column in my spreadsheet with every users email.
I know Professors do this when they share one row of a gradebook in Google Sheets with a student.
I appreciate the help!
edit* one caveat I should add is that the cells must be editable with the user they are shared with.
What I understood is, there is a Google sheet with some data, individual rows of which has to be shared with people.
Suppose I have this sheet "StudentList" with tab "Sheet1", which contains 2 cells Name and RollNo
Now open a separate sheet "Copy StudentList", Now type the following:
=IMPORTRANGE("link of StudentList","TabName!cellFrom:cellTo")
I have kept the snapshots. I hope it helps.
I've come looking for help regarding this issue. I'm a teacher, and am trying to help my students get all their documents together for university applications. Google Sheets tell me that I'm not able to filter cells containing vertical merges, but I want to filter by the earliest application deadline (column G) so I know which student I have to chase up first, second, third, etc., without losing the rest of the data in the row.
Does anyone know a good way of doing this? I've created a sample of my spreadsheet: here.
Thanks in advance.
Try Insert > New sheet and this formula in cell A1 of the new sheet:
=query('2021'!A1:Z, "where G is not null order by G", 1)
The sorted list is for reference only. You will need to continue to do your editing in the 2021 sheet.
I would split the data between a couple of sheets.
In the first sheet you'd have important data that can be seen at a glance and filtered easily, like student names, universities and deadlines.
In the second sheet (which you can link by student name or id) you can put extra info like necessary documents, urls etc - something like this.
Alternatively keep all the info in one sheet but don't use split columns or rows - it isn't conducive for sorting, filtering and viewing data (and what's the point of data if you can't analyse it?)
I have a workbook with four sheets and want to make a dashboard. In the dashboard I have 4 data validation drop down lists (Part, Date, Shift, Part Number). I want when someone selects the value from the drop list to look for the data that relate to the selections. I currently have =FILTER('sheet1'!A5:FP,('sheet1'!C5:C=Dash!A6)*('sheet1'!A5:A=Dash!A4)*('sheet1'!H5:H=Dash!A8))"Sheet 1" is the name of the sheet I want the data pulled from, however because the first parameter of =FILTER is range it wont allow me to reference my data validation dropdown found in A2. Is there a way to have the filter function look at what is in A2 and give me the data from the selected sheet, and how? Thank You in advance!
I think you are looking at the indirect function in google sheets, please try:
=FILTER(
Indirect(A2&"!A1:FP"),
(Indirect(A2&"!C5:C")=Dash!A6)*(Indirect(A2&"!A5:A")=Dash!A4)*
(Indirect(A2&"!H5:H")=Dash!A8)
)
I would like to use the text from a cell in a formula in Google Sheets.
I have a document with multiple sheets that a variety of people can edit with a H,M,L (high, medium, low) value from a drop-down list. Each person has their own tab in the Google Sheet.
I then have a dashboard that populates based on their choices of H,M,L. I know that I can use the formula =('Jay Delacruz'!C6) for example to populate a cell in another sheet by manually selecting the cells on the other sheet.
However, I am looking to make quite a few of these documents automatically with another Google Script that I am running that creates the individual sheets from a roster of names on the first tab.
My question is, is it possible to have a =('Jay Delacruz'!C6) type formula that instead of the sheet reference it can pull the name of the person from the roster, as this will match exactly the sheets that are automatically generated by the script I have running.
So I would essentially have a pre-populated dashboard of formulae that would become valid once the sheets are created with the names, as created by the other script.
If it makes it a little clearer, there is a link below to make a copy of the Sheet I am working with. All names were randomly generated, so don't reference any real people or data.

Thank you in advance!

Try
=INDIRECT(C1&"!C6")
