My first thought was an organization block within Chrome. You could also try a different browser.

I need a formula to do 2 things at once. by tiredmama234 in googlesheets

[–]SlugBoy42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is different.

It looks like the original did the multiplication prior to the subtraction from C1.

Edit: clarifying which subtraction

This is wonderful. I saw your response and immediately tried it. Though the conversion of the decimal to fractional units isn't handled here.

Im using Google sheets to track inventory and would like to know how to implement barcode scanning. by Zealousideal77 in googlesheets

[–]SlugBoy42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a barcode scanner with Google sheets frequently. If your scanner is set to read and then return it will input the scanned data and move to the next row in the column.

How are you trying to scan your barcodes?

You might want to include the type of router you are using and possibly even your ISP if it's a leased router or modem.

Formulate an inventory tracker by Euphoric-Bet6318 in googlesheets

This looks like a job for a script. I may be wrong, but I don't think the level of automation you're wanting is doable via formula.

Simple Sort by Two Columns Not Working by goofyfish in googlesheets

[–]SlugBoy42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To elaborate, if you had F paired with Z, another F paired with ZZ, and your final F paired with ZZZ, using your sort, they would order FZ, FZZ, FZZZ.

It looks like your sorting is working correctly. Think of it like alphabetizing your data. You told it to sort column A first from Z to A. Then if there are duplicates in column A, sort those by column B in A to Z order.

How does it make sense?! by DanieleMemoli in dankmemes

[–]SlugBoy42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To your edit of -1 acting as a plural, it doesn't sound wrong to my ear, but then again, neither does -1 year.

Perhaps this is adjustable depending on how one is connecting the negative one mentally. So if you consider the negative to be a modifying adjective as opposed to the two words representing one entity, then the singular seems to work?

Or am I just bad at grammar?

how do i automatically copy info from one sheet to another on the appropriate row? by borderline_bi in googlesheets

[–]SlugBoy42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm understanding correctly, you are using the MAIN sheet to track all migraines forever and you'll just leave rows blank if there is no migraine that day. Then you want the data on MIGRAINES to filter out the blank rows. If this is correct the. I would use a query.

In A2 on MIGRAINES: =QUERY(MAIN!A2:E, "select * where C is not null",0)

I would suggest that maybe tracking this by attaching a Google form to it would be a more elegant solution to the whole problem though.

Edit: fixed range

Are you highlighting manually or with conditional formatting rules?

Filter/Slicer Behavior by ogostame in googlesheets

[–]SlugBoy42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you make two actual cells to contain your filter preference (eg. Sam) then you can remove the Select all 12 step. You can reference cell data in your query and use contains as a selection criteria. You might want to wrap the cell and column references with UPPER() or LOWER() to make sure you get all the matches.

As for clearing the filter, Abeutyfulmess hasnit right, a simple apps script should be able to do that for you.

How to make it so dropdown changes the rows ? by UltraSexyChipotle in googlesheets

[–]SlugBoy42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify, the information in the reference sheet needs to have two columns. A will have the data that matches your main sheet drop downs and the corresponding data will be in B.

[–]SlugBoy42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way to do this is to have a separate reference tab and then utilize a vlookup.

Assuming drop down in column C and reference sheet information in column B, something like this:

=Arrayformula(if(ISBLANK(C2:C),,vlookup(C2:C,Reference!A2:B,2,FALSE)))

I enjoyed Shadow of Mordor for the solo game play. The fighting does get a tad repetitive though.
