Any idea to add more selections like in the example of manager typed in, could we add another option by separating it with a comma. In this way it loads everything with manager, and another selection with the info after the comma. Out can we only "search" for one
So i have one for you. I have a portfolio of dividend paying stocks. i would like a formula that would allow me to sift through my portfolio of data and find my top 10 highest dividend payers? I measure this by the highest yield percent of each stock in the portfolio. I need a function that will look at all the different stocks in my portfolio and return my top 10. thoughts please?
Hi Leila, How can I find a replace a value in cells that are filtered? Currently I filter a column A, find and replace in Column B, remove filter of Column A, and all the values on Column B were replaced, instead seeing the replacement in the filtered view. Thank you!
Can you pop up a dialog box to ask what to filter? Something like this would give on-the-fly filtering a little more power. By the way, your videos are amazing! I have worked as a data analyst for over 12 years and have learned a lot from you. Keep the great videos coming!
Would you like to make Google Script Courses Mrs? I will be the first one buying your course!!! I had done 4 of your courses in Udemy.... Sorry my english is bad
Thanks for your support :) I'm fascinated by Apps Script. The great thing about it is it's pretty much the same as the future Office Scripts (VBA version for Excel Online). I would love to spend more time learning about it and then I will share my findings and apps :)
In folder X, I have 2 excel files from column A to column H. Now I want to delete the unnecessary columns B: D, F, H in both excel files of the folder. How to write VBA code, so that when running the code, a message box will appear looking for the X directory address (or you can enter the X directory path directly into the code)
hi every year i have to prepare budget for multiple number of shops through out a year. Are there any formulas to help me distribute the figures so it will match the monthly target and yearly target by stores simultaneously? assume month in columns and 40 shops in rows.
Ur all videos are awesome, I have a question, how can I sum up online the numbers that I have filtered in? Because when I try to sum numbers in any column it gives me sum of complete column even the filtered out numbers are not there. Thanks
This is the solution for the issue I've been having with my spreadsheet. Thank you so much. I've been adding extra spreads with the filter function but I believe filter view reduces the spreadsheet size and improves performance. As well as make it cleaner.
Can I share a google sheet with a college but filter their view (like in Sharepoint) I don't want them to see certain columns. Just 2 columns out of 10. I didn't want to create another sheet and have to key in the data twice.... Thoughts???
I have cells in table B that equal cells in Table A... a filter is applied to Table A and all the numbers get rearrange, because of this the values in Table B also change, I don't want the values in table B to change, i want the cells in table B that i have linked to table A to always show the original values of the cells they were linked to regardless of the filtered arrangement... so my question is how do I keep the cells in table B that have been linked to table A to follow the original values before the filter was applied? thanks in advance to whoever can help!
This is not really at all what you are explaining here.. but I hope it's okay to ask it anyway. I have a situation where I have a table, the data of which is being converted into a graph. Now I want people who view the page to only see the graph (the plotting of this data). But I still want to be able to alter that data with formulas etc in the usual way. Is there a method I can use that hides the table from the online page that people see while at the same time being able to see it myself in order to alter the data. (The closest I've come to this is to simply drag the graph straight on top of the table so people can't see it and then if I wish to alter anything simply move it away and back again.. this is pretty impractical though because I have to waste time moving the graph I just don't know how else to do it. )
i wish i can filter on the column view by hiding column that i don't need. Unfortunately, filter view not able to reach the goal. Hide unhide column not working in filter view.
Thank you so much for this..Question : how can I lock the filters? after I create the filters and leave my work , the filters are gone when i visited again the sheets. 😊
Hi, Is it possible that if one sheet is shared with multiple users and if I am applying any filter, other wont disturb and everybody can apply there own filter and work.
Hi Leila, Thanks for your quality presentations! Question: So can I set up multiple filter views and create a data validation type dropdown so that the user can call the filter view from within the spreadsheet?
Is there a way to protect the Filter View such that other shared users can 'View' my filter view but not be able to change the Filters? However, I want them to retain the ability to use the filter in the base view so I thinking protecting sheet is out of the question.
I was wondering if this can be done using app script. I mean to use filter method for each user so that when they trigger the filter function it won't affect other users.
You make really helpful videos. Is it possible to create an online ordering Google site for my business, which gets it's input from my Google sheet's dataset and return the order summary to the sheets ?
Thank you, Leila for such a valuable and gorgeous presentation! I have a question. My boss wants that his managers (multiple users) work in one google sheet and have access to only their range of data and at the same time don't see other colleagues' work. How can I customize filters to reach that goal? Thanks!
Thanks Vijay. It's comparable to "Sheet View" in Excel online. I believe Sheet View is only available for online and it also has similar functionality like Filter views in Sheets. Except they seem to be a lot slower than Google Sheets. I think this will improve though as Excel Online gets better.
I usually get these posts in the morning so during the day I can try them out for myself. So cool, so helpful, the way life should be. Thanks so much Leila for your efforts.
What if you want to filter by what appears most or least in a column. EXAMPLES: If you have more employees in marketing than sales and only want to see the employees in the most or least popular department?
Thanks for this. Is it not possible to save a Filter View that is sorted by more than 1 column? This inability is basically a deal breaker (and is easily done in AirTable). Would love to know how to accomplish this in Sheets. Not sure what I'm missing here.
Thank you Leila for an excellent presentation of Filter Views. After watching your video I opened the same shared sheet in different browsers, used filtered views, set a filter and saw that the second instance of the shared sheet did not change. However, then I hide columns in the filtered view and the second instance immediately hid the same columns that were hidden in the filtered view. Is there a way to also hide columns in one instance of a shared sheet but not impact others using the same shared sheet? Thank you again for your very helpful video on a powerful option in Google Sheets.
each "filter view" is like a virtual version of the sheet.. if multiple people use the same filter view, you are essentially working on the same sheet and if someone does something with that filter view, it will affect whomever is using the same view... we stumbled across this while trying to update customer lists in real time and multiple people were using the same filter view to try and work outside of the main list.
Hi, very good tips as usual. I've created a tool for multiple people to use with dropdowns, the issue is because changes on google sheets are live, if multiple people are using at the same time it creates a confusion, is there an option to avoid live changes? where multiple people can use the dropdowns without chaning on the other users? Thanks
Thank you for explaining the difference between sort and filter. I was extremely frustrated to see the filter modify the Excel from the beginning, but now I have a better idea.
Hello, we use google sheets for all of our projects with filter view - however we have noticed that sometimes when you filter "department"/"project size"/"project manager" to analyse the project close data at the end of the quarter the data can get mixed up - is there a way of ensuring the row's are fixed you can freely filter knowing that the row data will not move/re-jig itself?
The other day I was playing with the filter by function but I didn't seem to work very well. Maybe I was doing something wrong. Thanks! The filter view is an excellent feature not many people know of.
The problem I had filter by function was it wasn't really dynamic (at least in terms of using cell references). I had to reset it to take the new value in the cell. I guess for these cases it's best to use the Filter Function instead.
I am watching this for the 10th time, and every time i watched it, learned a new thing about filter views! one the best illustration of How to use Google Sheets!
Dear Leila, thank you for your valuable advice, always well explained. My use of gSheeet has dramatically improved and my work has become much more productive.
Thank you and welcome! These new features are great. I will try next week to get Smart Fill in. Have already added the clean up and stats to future videos. Thank you.
Great video Mam...I badly needed the information.. but you should give a practical example where one google sheet is used by multiple user and no one disturb the other' s sheet.. can you make a short video on that... because I have a bad experience some days ago in my office in working in google sheet by multiple user...all the valuable data almost gone because of erroneous use of google sheet by multiple user... please Mam..make a video specifically on that topic..🙏
Haven't had a chance to watch the video. After hearing the news of the tragic event in Vienna, I hope you and those you care about have not been harmed.
