    Is there a way to add information above the table? When I add info and then insert a table; it seems to either insert the table over the information or deletes that information altogether.

    • @matttechtidbits
      @matttechtidbits 5 днів тому

      Hey, so is this if you have a preexisting unformatted table of data, and when you press "insert table" it goes over the information? If so, I think you need to select the range you want to convert, right click, then select "format as table". Hopefully that is the question, sorry if I misunderstood!

    • @matttechtidbits
      @matttechtidbits 19 днів тому

      Hey there, yes instead of using the Table1[full_name] as the SELECT statement, you would either need to use the column number. So Something like =QUERY(Table1[#ALL],"SELECT Col1,Col2,..." OR you can use whatever the Column letters are. So, =QUERY(Table1[#ALL],"SELECT A,B,..." For QUERY, it can only can use the table as the data to query from. Hopefully this helps for your question! Another thing if you are using it with FILTERS, or you don't want the header row, I just saw you can reference just "Table1" which does everything except the header row. Which matches what the Table1[first_name] has been doing. Just in case you didn't use FILTER due to mismatched sizes.

    Hello! I have a question. When I put a table under another one and I keep writing in the table above (I mean I keep adding rows), the table below is not scrolled, it starts to overwrite the information. Do you know how to solve this? I hope I have explained myself well. Thanks!

    • @matttechtidbits
      @matttechtidbits 19 днів тому

      Hey there. Yes that is expected behavior, assuming you are just typing below it and the table range expands down to that row you are writing on. It doesn't automatically add rows as you go down, but instead formats that row to the table. So you would need to insert more rows - either right click the row number > insert row, or you can use the keyboard shortcuts: MAC: Ctrl + Option + i, press r then b PC: in Google Chrome: Alt + i, then w PC in other browsers: Alt + Shift + i, then w That said, I would recommend using a new sheet for a new table, or have them in different columns, assuming more rows would be added compared to more columns. That's probably the easiest way, but also know depending on the setup may not be ideal. Hope something here helps!

    Thanks for the video :) loads of helpful stuff, I was wondering though if you know whether it's possible to edit the placeholders in the table. For example I would like to have the default entry in a date column be the end date of a project, then edit it to a closer date if required.

    • @matttechtidbits
      @matttechtidbits 22 дні тому

      Hey, thanks glad it was helpful to you! As for your question, it seems like placeholder are not editable at this point unfortunately. This is assuming the placeholders like ## under a column that is a number, or m/d/yyyy for dates. I did check quick and on support.google.com/docs/answer/14239833?hl=en&sjid=3831749139336395473-NC the article sort of confirms this, although not specifically to your question: "For some column types, placeholder chips are auto populated to allow for easy data entry. To turn off placeholder chips for a column". To me, the auto populated makes it sound like it is more meant to give a quick view to users on what should be entered in the columns. You could put that in a feature request as that would be something I see could be useful to others! A potential alternative solution could be adding a data validation rule to only allow dates in a range of dates or before/after a specific date. I did put a video out going through these number data validation rules if that is something you wanted to explore: ua-cam.com/video/WmLZV0_EUDo/v-deo.html

      ​@@matttechtidbitsat 16:12 you sprinkled "j" over the sheet while moving your cursor. Your right index finger falls on the "J" key when it's on the home row. So, you must have used your left hand to use your mouse, which would be convenient to place to the left. Otherwise, if you were to use your right hand to use your mouse and spam a letter, your left hand wouldn't have troubled to reach the "J" key; you would have just pressed "F" key. I really felt like Sherlock.

      Hey Great question, from my knowledge right now, (and checking the Release Notes developers.google.com/apps-script/docs/release-notes ) there doesn't seem to be a way to reference the table other than what we'd do previously with getRange or referencing cells. Hopefully Google will add that soon. Using the "send feedback" may help speed that up if enough people request it!

    @Alexou17362 Місяць тому

    Hello, whenever I perform any operation on a checkbox or a boolean value, I consistently get an error. For example, if cell A1 has a checkbox and I use =COUNTIF(A1, TRUE) in cell B1, cell B1 will display #ERROR!. The same happens if I directly write TRUE or FALSE in cell A1. It seems like my Google Sheet doesn't handle boolean values, any idea?

    • @matttechtidbits
      @matttechtidbits Місяць тому

      Hey thanks for watching, sorry to hear that one isn't working. A few of things I can think of to try and see what may be going on: 1. can you use =a1 and does it pull either TRUE or FALSE? If so, then the cell reference would be correct and shows what you would look for when the checkbox is selected or not. 2. regions differ with delimiters so instead of the comma ( , ) between A1 and TRUE does a semicolon ( ; ) work for you? so, =COUNTIF(A1;TRUE) 3. I am not sure if you are hoping to count all checked boxes in column A, the COUNTIF syntax is a range, so your current formula would show only a count of 0 or 1 since it is only a single cell (a1) if you used a range like =COUNTIF(A1:A100,TRUE) this should count all cells within A1 to A100. 4. If these don't work, could you hover over the error to see what it reads? That can help hone in what the specific error is. Hope one of these helps!

By default, the display language on my Google Sheet is in French (because i'm french 😀) , so I specified to always use the function names in English. However, since the regional settings were set to France, the argument separators are different. For example, =COUNTIF(A1, TRUE) should be =COUNTIF(A1; TRUE). Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to me, and sorry for the inconvenience. Perhaps we both will have learned something 😅
