H: Max number in a column
I haven't been able to find an answer to this because I don't know how to word the search terms. How do I prevent a cell from going above the number 300,000? It is simply the sum of one column subtracted by another but when I haven't completed a set (because I am not to that day yet) it places a result higher than 300,000 and can be confusing.
AI: solution 1:
=IF(E4-B4<300000; E4-B4; )
solution 2:
=IF(AND(E4<>""; B4<>""); E4-B4; ) |
H: How to remove accounts from "Choose an account" list in Google sign in?
When signing in with Google (OAuth), it shows a list of accounts it already knows about. How can I remove some accounts from this list?
I know I can nuke all of them by deleting all cookies, but I'd prefer to remove one account that I don't want there, rather than all of them.
There used to be an ability to edit this list in the older version of this screen, but in 2018 redesign Google has removed [×] buttons next to the accounts.
AI: log out
open https://accounts.google.com/
click on Continue
select Remove an account
click on that ⊖
select Yes, remove*

H: Cell format protection + forced capitalisation
I've created a Google Sheets document intended for daily use by more than a dozen people. Text inputted in two of the columns is set up, via conditional formatting, to change colour based on the name entered (Smith = Red, Baker = Blue, Williams = Green and so on). I'm also running a script that forces all entries in these columns to be capitalised.
The issue I have is that all users need to be able to move the column entries up and down as and when required. For example, a job may be scheduled at 6am, then need to be moved down to an 8am slot.
When that happens, the formatting breaks and has to be replaced.
I understand there may be a way to lock or force the formatting using a control column/row and a script, but nothing I've tried seems to work. Any help or pointers would be much appreciated!
AI: Google Sheets doesn't include a built-in feature to lock/force the cell formatting.
One alternative is to use a dialog or side panel for user input.
Another alternative is to use a script to reapply the correct format as needed. For this you could use an onEdit or onChange triggers.

H: Aggregate values based on categories and subcategories
I am trying to create a document which automatically tracks spending based on two categories.
For example, I have a sheet formatted similar to the table below:
Type | Amount | Category
Visa | $100 | Hair
Chase | $200 | Face
Visa | $50 | Hair
Master | $150 | Face
Visa | $25 | Face
And my goal is to update a seperate table with spending broken down for both "Type" and "Category", like this:
| Total | Hair | Face | Mouth
Total | $525 | $150 | $375 | $0
Visa | $175 | $150 | $25 | $0
Chase | $200 | $0 | $200 | $0
Transfr | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0
Master | $150 | $0 | $150 | $0
Note: all categories in the above table are intended to be static with only their relevant values getting filled in. That's why "Mouth" and "Transfr" are part of the table, even though they have no transactions in that category.
I have attempted to use the "Query" formula but I am only able to sort based on one category receiving results like these:
| Sum
Visa | $175
Chase | $200
Transfr | $0
Master | $150
or
| Sum
Hair | $300
Face | $225
I am not sure if this is possible on Google Sheets, but any help would be appreciated.

H: My Facebook was disabled by mistake, how long does it take to get it back?
On November 20th I was first told you send a photo of me for security and it was being reviewed.
Now on December 24th my account was disabled when I had to wait a whole month to wait so I sent a photo of my birth certificate to "My personal account was disabled" and i'm still waiting for my account to be back on because my birth certificate shows my birth date and name.
Is anybody else having this problem?? I heard a lot of people are having this problem.
AI: From Help Centre:
Facebook disable accounts that don't follow the Facebook Terms. Some examples include:
Posting content that doesn't follow the Facebook Terms
Using a fake name
Impersonating someone
Continuing behavior that's not allowed on Facebook by violating our Community Standards
Contacting other people for the purpose of harassment, advertising, promoting, dating or other conduct that's not allowed
If you think your account was disabled by mistake, please submit an appeal. |
H: Is it possible to make Facebook stories available for everyone after 24 hours just like in Instagram?
In Instagram you can feature a story and it will remain visible for anyone after 24 hours. In Facebook you can't do this, but you archive them, and they will remain visible, but only for you, apparently. The place where Facebook stories are archived has a caption which says "only you can see your stories archive" and it has a padlock icon along to that caption.
Is it possible to make Facebook stories available for everyone after 24 hours just like in Instagram?
AI: No, as of now it's not possible as Facebook has made it for 24 hours only.
From Facebook Help Center:
How long are photos and videos in my story available?
Each photo or video in your story is available in the stories section in Facebook and the Messenger app for 24 hours.
When you go Live, the video will be available in your story for as long as you're live.
You can always delete a photo or video from your story. |
H: Is there a way to emulate Vlookup in Google Script?
I did some looking around and I'm struggling quite a bit in finding the answer.
I'm working on a Google Script for Google Sheets that works like a Vlookup, where you define a cell for it to look at, and use the information found within that cell to search ANOTHER range of cells elsewhere.
eg. 1
Use the value from A1 (Sheet 1) to search in the 1st column (Sheet 2) and then return the value from that row in the 3rd column.
eg. 2
=VLOOKUP(A1, 'Sheet 2'!A1:D4, 3)
Bearing in mind that since this is a Script and not a Formula, the fact that A1 is in Sheet 1 and not Sheet 2 would of course need to somehow be defined
AI: Yes, it is possible to emulate many of the built-in functions by using Class Spreadsheet (SpreadsheetApp) and JavaScript Array Object and its methods, but "the emulations" usually will be slower than built-in functions.
Knowing the above I consider that the core of the question is how to use JavaScript to emulate VLOOKUP and other built-in functions.
I order to keep this answer short, here is an example taken from the answer to Writing google Javascript similar to vlookup
function findinB() {
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var last=ss.getLastRow();
var data=sh.getRange(1,1,last,2).getValues();// create an array of data from columns A and B
var valB=Browser.inputBox('Enter value to search in B')
for(nn=0;nn<data.length;++nn){
if (data[nn][1]==valB){break} ;// if a match in column B is found, break the loop
}
Browser.msgBox(data[nn][0]);// show column A
}
Just replace the Browser.inputBox by the data sources that you want to use.
Note: There are several questions on Stack Overflow about how to implement VLOOKUP on JavaScript and/or Apps Script, like Does JavaScript or jQuery have a function similar to Excel's VLOOKUP? |
H: Where does Marudot store information between browser sessions?
I often use a handy Marudot iCal Event Maker. This web application remembers past events that I have put into it, even though I don't log in, I clear all cookies between sessions, and I use my laptop in different places with different IP addresses. I checked my browser settings, and I don't see any local storage or flash storage. Where does this site store its information? Is it somehow creating an ID for my browser that the server can use to identify my return?
AI: I figured this out by grep-ing my Firefox profile folder. Since I knew what information was stored, namely the event description, I searched for that information like this:
grep -Rl 'my event description' ~/.mozilla
That revealed that the information was stored in a file named webappsstore.sqlite, which a quick internet search revealed is where Web Storage is kept. So much for my session-only cookie settings.
I'm still perplexed at why Firefox's Page Info/Permissions/Maintain Offline Storage setting of "Always Ask" doesn't seem to be working... |
H: Safe SUM() in Google Sheets
When I use sum in Google Sheets, it:
sums all numeric cells from the range (which is exactly what I want
silently ignores all empty non-numeric cells from the range (which is usually what I want, though it can sometimes be too smart)
silently ignores all non-empty non-numeric cells from the range. This is usually not what I want. Whenever I try to sum such a text, I would appreciate a failure. Generally, a failure is preferred to an incorrect result.
How do I get rid of the last property of the SUM function? I have tried count/counta for this, but it looks too hacky and it seems to have some undesired effects in edge cases like all values in the range being "". Is there any better way to do it?
Also, this starts being quite complex. The ideal solution would be as easy as possible. While those metrics do not fully cover maintainability and readability, they provide some objective hints:
Minimize the number of occurrences of the range, ideally to just one. The rationale is simple: When changing the range, I would like to change it at as few places as possible.
Minimize the count of characters (but not at any cost): Google Sheets is not well designed for long formulas.
There is a link to document with some test cases: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YTFS1OnUOh_unreO01QTq0GSDzUAczK1d6oo0a26-dU/edit?usp=drivesdk
AI: After some research, I have realized that we can just multiply it by 1. The (almost) ultimate and quite simple solution is:
sum(arrayFormula(1*…))
It currently passes all my tests except that it does not fail for date/time – it tries to convert the number instead. This seems to be the last limitation. I don't believe this is easy to resolve, as Google Sheets consider this date/time as a kind of number.
Advantages:
It provides more descriptive error messages than just N/A.
It does not require repeating the range definition.
It is quite readable, although it might not be clear why you have decided to go this way over plain sum(range).
It is quite short.
I have tried to resolve this last limitation (accepting date/time) by comparing A1 with value(A1) or 1*A1 using EXACT(A1, value(A1)) or something similar. This might be the way to go in theory, but virtually any kind of formatting (fixed decimal places, thousands separator, currency name) can break it, even in trivial cases. Also, I haven't succeeded with arrayFormula there.
So, I am answering the question myself. If you have any better solution, you are welcome. |

H: Can a WhatsApp account be deleted due to inactivity?
I had a WhatsApp account on a phone which has been left at power-off for several months now. The SIM card (number) that the account belonged to has also been removed from the phone for similar amounts of time. So I came home for the holidays and on the 2nd of January I discovered;
The number had "left" groups that my current account and the former one had in common.
The account has actually been "deleted" i.e no profile picture, an "invite" option and the default "Hey there!..." status dated at Feb 24th, 2009. (which appears to be close to WhatsApp's (the company's) inception). Note: I got the phone & created the account in 2016.
From a friend's phone, the profile picture still isn't there but the status (about) is the latest one I put up in 2017
What is going on?
Should I be worried that someone turned my phone on / it got stolen?
AI: 30 days - you won't receive message older than 30 days
45 days - if your account is inactive for 45+ days your account will be recycled. your account stays active if you do not use it on another device even after 45+ days
180 days - after this period you will be removed from groups

H: Mega.nz download doesn’t save
I downloaded a cinematic pack from MEGA.nz and opened it and played it in my video player. However, after I got done watching it. It deleted itself from quick access and I can’t find it. Does that mean I wasted 2 hours downloading something or is it saved somewhere on my hard drive? I don't think I clicked save after the download or I forgot.
AI: Downloading from MEGA.nz is a bit tricky because it can look like you download it twice but in fact, you download it into a MEGA.nz "buffer" and then from your browser to your local drive. In your case, it depends on what you did... some browsers can provide "open file" without saving it locally. In such case, the file is opened (in video player) and removed from your temp folder on video player closure.
Your only chance is to download it again from buffer if you did not close that browser tab. If you did, then you are good to go downloading it again for 2 hours |

H: Black and White Emojis Showing up on Outlook Website
I have a client I am working with who has the Windows 7 black and white emojis showing up instead of the colour emojis you'd normally expect to display. The client has no problem in Gmail using the same web browser. Both Firefox 64 and IE 11.0.9866.19230 that they have on their computer seem to have the same problem on the Outlook site. Her emojis still show up in colour fine for others who she sends messages to, just not for her.
Is this a Outlook issue, or is there something wrong on the Windows 7 machine that they can do to fix things?
I've already had them clear their cache/cookies on their browser.
AI: This should be by design. Please refer to this article:
To see the colorful emoji versions in Outlook, you will need Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 (partial support).
When using Windows 7, you can insert the black and white version via the Segoe UI Symbol font. If the recipient supports colorful emoji, the colorful version will still be shown. |
H: Why are the forward/back keyboard shortcuts in Google Calendar reversed?
I recently started using Google Calendar a lot more, and one of the first things I did was look for keyboard shortcuts to speed up my planning. I found this:
I'm wondering whether there's some motivation behind choosing those particular shortcuts, because intuitively, I would expect j to go back and k to go forward, given that k is on the right.
AI: The j/k keys come from the Vi text editor and ADM3A computer terminals, where they originally were used for vertical navigation – they mean "cursor down" and "cursor up" respectively. See HJKL keys for the full set.
(Nowadays you'll also find these hidden hotkeys in various other webapps, such as Twitter timelines or Ars Technica comment threads.)
Because j moves the cursor down in this keymap, it makes sense for it to scroll down to the next item – and it used to be an obvious choice in earlier Google Calendar UI versions, which used vertical scrolling for the month view. (If I remember correctly, that is.)
The only problem is that the "Material 2" redesign for Google Calendar switched to sideways scrolling for months, which no longer matches the hotkey choice. (And, IMHO, is completely unintuitive for a calendar in general – even when I'm swiping left/right on the Android app.) |
H: How to export Telegram's member list?
I'd like to export a list of current members of the channel or group. Is it possible through the UI, alternative client (such as Bettergram), Telegram API or Bots API?
I've seen this feature on some marketing apps (such as Telegram Auto), but I prefer to do it on my own.
One of the use cases is when moving members from channel to the group (without manually clicking all of the members), so the question assumes I've admin rights, but if the method will work for other channels/groups, that's even better.
How such an export can be done?
AI: You can try Telethon which can extract all the members of a given group and saves it in an SQLite database. You need to be an admin for the channel of course.
You can get it with a method like:
from telethon import TelegramClient
from telethon.tl.functions.contacts import ResolveUsernameRequest
from telethon.tl.functions.channels import GetAdminLogRequest
from telethon.tl.types import InputChannel
from telethon.tl.types import ChannelAdminLogEventsFilter
from telethon.tl.types import InputUserSelf
from telethon.tl.types import InputUser
# These example values won't work. You must get your own api_id and
# api_hash from https://my.telegram.org, under API Development.
api_id = ****** # Your api_id
api_hash = '********************************' # Your api_hash
phone_number = '+989122594574' # Your phone number
client = TelegramClient(phone_number, api_id, api_hash)
client.session.report_errors = False
client.connect()
if not client.is_user_authorized():
client.send_code_request(phone_number)
client.sign_in(phone_number, input('Enter the code: '))
channel = client(ResolveUsernameRequest('tabe_eshgh')) # Your channel username
user = client(ResolveUsernameRequest('amir2b')) # Your channel admin username
admins = [InputUserSelf(), InputUser(user.users[0].id, user.users[0].access_hash)] # admins
admins = [] # No need admins for join and leave and invite filters
filter = None # All events
# param: (join, leave, invite, ban, unban, kick, unkick, promote, demote, info,
# settings, pinned, edit, delete)
filter = ChannelAdminLogEventsFilter(True, True, True, False, False, False, False,
False, False, False, False, False, False, False)
result = client(GetAdminLogRequest(InputChannel(channel.chats[0].id,
channel.chats[0].access_hash), '', 0, 0, 10, filter, admins))
##print(result)
for _user in result.users:
##print(_user.id)
with open(''.join(['users/', str(_user.id)]), 'w') as f:
f.write(str(_user.id))
or method like this:
from telethon import TelegramClient, sync
api_id = 'FILL REAL VALUES HERE'
api_hash = 'FILL REAL VALUES HERE'
client = TelegramClient('xxx', api_id, api_hash).start()
# get all the channels that I can access
channels = {d.entity.username: d.entity
for d in client.get_dialogs()
if d.is_channel}
# choose the one that I want to list users from
channel = channels[channel_name]
# get all the users and print them
for u in client.get_participants(channel):
print(u.id, u.first_name, u.last_name, u.username)
However, first, you need to obtain your api_id and api_hash using MTProto by logging to https://my.telegram.org/ with your existing Telegram account and
getting credentials.

H: How to add member to the group which doesn't have username?
In Telegram IM client, normally when I add members to my group, I type their username in the box and it's displayed on the list. However some users don't have a username, so they aren't listed when typed by their name, therefore I can't add them.
Is it by design, or there is any workaround?
AI: by username
contact / number
by ID
Q: How do I add more members? What's an invite link?
You can add your contacts, or using search by username.
It is easy to migrate existing groups to Telegram by sending people an invite link. To create an invite link, go to Group Info — Add Member — Invite to Group via Link.
Anyone who has Telegram installed will be able to join your group by following this link. If you choose to revoke the link, it will stop working immediately.

H: GitHub - What's this "Pro" tag on my profile?
I logged into GitHub today and found something new I hadn't seen before:
What is this, and why did it begin to appear?
AI: PRO tag refers to https://github.com/pro
GitHub today (07.01.2019) announced that it is changing the name of the GitHub Developer suite to GitHub Pro. The company says it’s doing so in order to "help developers better identify the tools they need".
In other words, all Pro (and Edu) users have that PRO tag.
Honorable mention: Historically GitHub always offered free accounts but the caveat was that your code had to be public. To get private repositories, you had to pay. Starting tomorrow, that limitation is gone. Free GitHub users now get unlimited private projects with up to three collaborators. The amount of collaborators is really the only limitation here and there’s no change to how the service handles public repositories, which can still have unlimited collaborators.
Some say, this may or may not be the result of Microsoft's closed acquisition of GitHub last October, with former Xamarin CEO Nat Friedman taking over as the CEO of GitHub. Some developers were rather nervous about the acquisition (though it feels like most have come to terms with it). It’s also a fair guess to assume that GitHub’s model for monetizing the service is a bit different from Microsoft’s. Microsoft doesn’t need to try to get money from small teams - that’s not where the bulk of its revenue comes from. Instead, the company is mostly interested in getting large enterprises to use the service. |
H: How to get direct download URL link for directory in Google Disk?
I know how to create a link from shared file
https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID/view?usp=sharing
to direct download link
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILE_ID
However, I can't find a solution for directory direct download link? I have something like this
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/FOLDER_ID?usp=sharing
and this doesn't work.
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FOLDER_ID
I would like to have a link for directory which would compress all files and directories in it as one zip file like it does when downloading manually.
AI: Unfortunately, a folder cannot be downloaded with the direct download link.
Such a folder needs to be firstly zipped e.g. zip = file = you can then use FILE_ID and after you get share link of that zip, you can then https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILE_ID it. |
H: How to delete own Telegram's group/channel?
I've created a group and a channel on Telegram, but they're no longer in use.
I can leave a group/channel, but it doesn't solve my problem.
How do I remove them completely?
I've tried Telegram Desktop v1.5.4 on Windows.
AI: I've found it by following these steps (in Telegram Desktop v1.5.4 on Windows):
Go to View channel/group info by clicking a triple-dot icon.
Go to Manage Channel/Group by clicking a triple-dot icon.
Click on Channel Info.
Delete channel/group.
On Android app (Telegram X), the following steps should work:
Tap on the channel/group title.
Go to Manage Channel/Group by clicking a pen icon.
Choose Destroy channel/group by clicking a triple-dot icon.

H: Find cell that contains some phrase
I'm looking for replacement of Excel formula:
=if.error(lookup(1000;search($B$1:$B$2;A1);$B$1:$B$2); "NONE")
The sheet looks like this:
So in column A, I have a long product index, in column B, I have a database of indexes. In column C, I want to receive an index from a database if a cell from column A contains it.
Could anyone help me with that?
AI: =ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(LOOKUP(1000, SEARCH($B$1:$B$4, A1),
$B$1:$B$4), "NONE"))
to make it more intuitive (this way you don't need to edit B range when your DB grows):

H: Find value of last non blank cell in a row (while skipping specific columns)
So basically I have a list of data in a row. They are totaled weekly statistics numbers and at the end of every month, there is a "total" column. The column where the 8 is at is where this formula will go and the column with the 5 and 0 in it is where my data starts. The grey columns are the "total" columns.
I am trying to use this code =INDEX(J15:BT15,1,COUNT(J15:BT15)) to get the value of the last non-blank row. It doesn't work because the "total" column automatically populates as a sum of the weeks in that month for a "Month to date" kind of total. How would I go about skipping these "total" columns with the index formula, and if it isn't possible, how can I achieve this in a different way without relocating my data with formulas? Is there a way to do this with =query() by skipping columns with the header "total"? Very amateur at this so thank you in advance!
AI: EXAMPLE 1:
=INDEX({A1,B1,D1},MAX(({A1,B1,D1}<>"")*COLUMN(A1:C1)))
{A1,B1,D1} - included columns
COLUMN(A1:C1) - full range (A1:D1) of columns (4 columns) minus excluded column (1) = A1:C1 (because 4 - 1 = 3)
EXAMPLE 2:
=INDEX({A1,B1,D1,E1,F1,I1},MAX(({A1,B1,D1,E1,F1,I1}<>"")*COLUMN(A1:F1)))
excluded columns: C, G, H
COLUMN(A1:F1) = range A1:I1 minus 3 excluded columns
EXAMPLE 3:
=INDEX({J1,K1,M1},MAX(({J1,K1,M1}<>"")*COLUMN(A1:C1))) |
H: Custom Script in Pivot Table Value Formula = Error Loading Data forever
I am very new to the Google Sheets platform, but I am not new to programming, and am comfortable creating and managing javascript code, and reading API documentation.
I am working on a side project, the goal is to use Google Sheets alongside existing microservices to generate a comprehensive Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition spreadsheet. It's more of a labor of love than anything. Criticism very welcome.
I am learning a lot about how information is represented in Google Sheets, and have found it relatively lacking in comparison to Microsoft Excel, until I learned about how data could be transformed using Pivot Tables.
Generally, I have an idea about how I will represent my data, I place just enough information in spreadsheet rows and columns to perform my query, and then I would like to retrieve my data from the API endpoint using a pivot table to construct the query url, and parse the JSON into the table from there.
Here is the very nice REST API that I found:
http://www.dnd5eapi.co/
REST API Example return value
And here is the script that I used to get started importing JSON from the API:
https://www.chicagocomputerclasses.com/google-sheets-import-json-importjson-function/
My Issue
When using the IMPORTJSON custom function inside of a spreadsheet, the query works fine, returning the rows of data that I would normally come to expect from the jsonpath-ish string that I pass into the function. However, when using the IMPORTJSON function in the formula for a value, the pivot table is just stuck with "Loading" and "Error: Loading Data..." forever.
I found this Stackoverflow post but the prescribed fixes didn't work for me (unless I am misunderstanding something):
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20718931/new-google-sheets-custom-functions-sometimes-display-loading-indefinitely
I also found this question to be not very helpful, considering the type of data that I am attempting to retrieve is a string:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22799055/error-in-google-app-script-custom-function
What I have done so far
Copied the example IMPORTJSON code into google
Set up a couple of the initial queries and pivot tables
Here is the sheet in its current state for reference or viewing purposes (stackoverflow copy, do what you will):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18Gs53Enr8ckfa7bhwpbTccgOpMBlBhKHwBtUKGkuT_s/edit?usp=sharing
MY true source of confusion is that the IMPORTJSON function works for spreadsheets, I have not have had a single issue with it using it to populate a spreadsheet, the only time I have an issue with it is when I try to populate a Pivot Table Value using the IMPORTJSON function as the formula. If it works in one place, it should work in the other in theory, right?
AI: Custom function doesn't work on features like Pivot Table, conditional formatting, etc. They work only when applied directly as cell formulas.
The workaround is to add an auxiliary column on the Pivot Table source data and extend the reference accordingly but it's highly recommend to optimize IMPORTJASON first in order to avoid having to repeat this custom function several times on the spreadsheet to avoid performance issues.

H: Combining 3x IMPORTRANGE with dynamic range
I have 3 Google Sheet and want to combine all of them with:
Sheet 1: 480 rows
Sheet 2: 40 rows
Sheet 3: 20 rows
The sheet keeps expanding by the day since the sheet's data comes from a Google Form
Currently I have the formula:

IMPORTRANGE("Sheet 2 Link","Response!A2:M40");
IMPORTRANGE("Sheet 3 Link","Response!A2:M20")}

H: Custom formatting with data returns what the cell shows but not what the cell contains
Basically I have this set up in one of my sheets in which these cells have data validation for "is valid date" so a calendar shows up when you double click them, then it has custom formatting so whichever date you select will make the cell output the day with the ending to that number (1'st',2'nd', etc.). It just appears different but in reality, the full date is still in the cell. My question is, if I set another cell equal to one of the date cells, it doesn't display the whole date, but only what appears in that cell.
Example: If I put =M2 in a random cell, it would show 5th and not 1/5/2019. How can I get it to display 1/5/2019?

H: Running formatting script across multiple Google Sheets tabs
I have an onEdit script I'm using to protect/force formatting on a single tab within a google sheets document - and it works perfectly.
The issue I have is that I'd like the same script to work on multiple tabs of my choosing, but I'm not sure how to go about that. To begin with, I'd like it to work on a tab titled 'WEEKEND' but I expect I'll add more tabs as and when I need them. I know you can only use the onEdit function once, but I don't know how to set up an working array that allows me to replicate the script across other tabs. Here's the script I'm using.
}
function onEdit(e){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive()
var sheet =ss.getActiveSheet()
if(sheet.getSheetName() == "NEWS"){
var entryRange = e.range
var range = sheet.getRange(1,entryRange.getColumn(),1,entryRange.getNumColumns())
Logger.log(entryRange.getA1Notation())
range.copyFormatToRange(sheet, entryRange.getColumn(), entryRange.getNumColumns()+entryRange.getColumn()-1, entryRange.getRow(), entryRange.getNumRows()+entryRange.getRow()-1)
Logger.log(entryRange.getColumn())
if(entryRange.getColumn() == 10){
if (entryRange.getRow() != 1){
e.range.setValue((e.oldvalue == undefined? "": e.oldvalue))
}
}
}
}
function setFormat(){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive()
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet()
var firstRow = sheet.getRange(1, 1, 1, sheet.getLastColumn())
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange()
firstRow.copyFormatToRange(sheet, 1, dataRange.getNumColumns(), 2, dataRange.getNumRows())
}
AI: You have to make a copy of your onEdit function, to change the name of the copy and to replace the following line code:
var sheet =ss.getActiveSheet()
by something like the following one:
var sheet =ss.getSheetByName(name);
where name is a variable that has being assigned with the sheet name to use. Also you should add a way to set the value of name, but there are many ways to do this.
Then you could run the script from the Script editor or to add a custom menu. |
H: How do I tie an enum to a set of numeric values?
I created a list of items Data Validation in a sheet corresponding to time-frequency:
weekly,monthly,annually
I want to multiply values in a numeric column with the corresponding weekly values to get a normalized annual cost so weekly would be 52x, monthly 12x.
It's just three columns: one numerical, one with drop down of 3 possible text values (weekly, etc) and a final numerical (annual total). If I choose weekly from the drop down, I want the value in the first column to be multiplied by 52 and the result stored in the 3rd total column.
How do I accomplish this in Google Sheets?
AI: =ARRAYFORMULA(IF(B1:B="weekly"; A1:A*52;

H: Problem combining LEFT() and QUERY() functions
I'm currently working in Google Sheets and I need to import a part of a row from a spreadsheet to another. I'm importing the row with the QUERY() function and "cutting" the data from the row with LEFT() function. Something like this:
=LEFT(QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("1MkAat5Q791H0UKOuGwMIz2d8crocbNecyF4jnXo9K58";
"Notas 1ºA No Pivoteadas!A1:D527");"select Col1");8)
The problem is that only applies the LEFT() function to the first cell of the row and the whole row taken from the query is filled with the same cell.

H: Can you add to a Github pull request after the source repo is deleted?
I've opened a pull request (PR) on a repo, but then managed to accidentally delete the branch I initiated the request from. The maintainer of the project has requested I make a couple changes.. now I'm stuck.
Github still has the PR, but now shows the source of the branch as "unknown repository".
I was able to recover the exact commit and re-push that (it has the same commit hash as the commit in the PR), but it still shows as "unknown repository".
Is there a way to push directly into the PR itself?
AI: You could try the steps outlined in this issue to pull the the branch from the PR:
So to update a PR, even if you have removed the original remote branch out of which the PR was created, you just need to:
Fetch the PR (git fetch pull/<id>/head:branchname and git checkout branchname).
Add new commits, amend, rebase, do whatever you like.
Push or push force (git push remote +branch).
And after that the PR will be automagically updated :)
This support page also talks about how to recreate a branch from a PR, although it ends with creating a new PR (so worst case you could grab the old branch, then close that PR and open a new one). |
H: Removed labels - where did my emails go?
I've been using Gmail for quite a while and I have about 15000 emails in total, only partially sorted using labels. Using Gmail itself to sort them is a nightmare for me, so I decided to use Thunderbird instead. My plan was to download the emails (IMAP, not POP3) and move them to a local folder to store them and have them removed from Gmail. I assumed the emails disappear from Gmail if I move them to a local folder, but that seems to be only true if you move the email from the Inbox, and not "All Mail".
Here is my problem: I had the emails in Gmail sorted using labels. I removed all those labels from the conversations and I expected all my emails would land back in my inbox, but they didn't. They are all visible under "All Mail" from what I saw, but they're not in the Inbox. The Inbox has a fraction of the amount of emails that "All Mail" has.
Where did the emails go? All I want is to move all my emails to a local folder on Thunderbird and have them removed from Gmail automatically, but I can't do that, because the "All Mail" folder/label seems to be a copy of all the emails, so if I move those, the emails are still in Gmail.
AI: Every new email received has the special label "inbox" unless you use a filter to prevent it from receiving the "inbox" label. The user can attach other labels as they see fit, which is a strength of Gmail becasue that message can have multiple labels.
If a user clicks the archive button the "inbox" label is stripped from the message/conversation, but it leaves the other labels attached to that message.
If a message has no labels becasue no other labels had been attached before the "inbox" label was removed, then it is only found in the "all mail" category becasue that category shows you all your messages in your Gmail account.
I removed all those labels from the conversations and I expected all
my emails would land back in my inbox, but they didn't. They are all
visible under "All Mail" from what I saw, but they're not in the
Inbox. The Inbox has a fraction of the amount of emails that "All
Mail" has.
Removing other labels from a message/conversation doesn't automatically move them to the inbox becasue that would involve reattaching the "inbox" label. This can be done using the labels button.
the "All Mail" folder/label seems to be a copy of all the emails, so
if I move those, the emails are still in Gmail.
Each message only appears once in Gmail. It can have 0, 1 or many labels. In fact messages in Gmail don't move, they just have labels, and the software uses the various queries to show them to the user. |
H: How can I create a unique list of data across multiple rows AND columns?
Google Sheets has a UNIQUE() function which when given a column of values, will output a column of all unique values.
This works well for column-specific data, however, you have multiple columns and rows of data that needs to be summarized, this won't work. This is because if you include a 2-dimensional range into UNIQUE() the end results are two dimensional, with only each column being summarized.
Is there a function or way to summarize all values across an entire 2-dimensional range?
REASONING:
I have a large list of businesses. Each column is a type of business, and each row contains values of business names. I need to create an end-list of all businesses that are provided throughout the entire source sheet. I don't need unique values per column. I need unique values across the entire document.

H: How can I rotate multiple objects at a time on Draw.io (relative, not absolute rotation)?
Alright, so I'm creating a card game, and there's an icon and number on the top left of the card. On the bottom right, it should be mirrored so that if the card is dealt upside-down, time is not wasted. A good example is standard playing cards with the numbers and royals mirrored on both sides.
My icon consists of multiple shapes in different rotations (20,5,350,335 degrees), so it would be tedious to manually rotate. Example: https://gyazo.com/1951f9bf82435518fe19a070d54b5ae6
When I try to rotate all of them, there is no button for relative rotation -- I can only enter an absolute rotation such as 90 degrees in the format panel, and then my icon is messed up.
For now, I ended up manually rotating all of them and changing the coordinates so that the manual rotations would fit as a whole. Maybe I might be wasting my time, though.
AI: ABSOLUT ROTATION:
hold CTRL key and select objects you want to rotate

H: How do I prevent arrows from snapping when moving them on Draw.io?
I'm trying to create curved arrows with a custom angle/curve. I am using the "Directional Connector" from the Shapes list. It keeps connecting to the vertices of nearby shapes such as rectangles, images, etc., but I don't want that to happen. Also, I made sure the "Snap to Point" property is unchecked for that shape. What I can do to prevent it from snapping to vertices? Perhaps I'm using the wrong shape to create custom curved arrows?
Edit: I've also tried to use the "Curve" arrow shape but it still snaps to vertices of nearby objects.
AI: To prevent snapping to points/objects try to press and hold CTRL+SHIFT while you move the object/arrow. |
H: How do I prevent a web application from lagging?
Currently, I'm using Draw.io (similar to Microsoft PowerPoint in editing tools) on Google Chrome to create my card game. However, I've added a ton of shapes, and now it's lagging. I have some other tabs open, but I'm not sure if that is the issue. I tried setting Google Chrome to high priority via task manager, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Any other tips?
I'm not sure which StackExchange meta this belongs on, but this seemed most fitting.
AI: there are many ways and any or none can help...
toogle hardware acceleration (better rendering)
set chrome://flags/#num-raster-threads on 4 (faster image/object load)
suspend all non-active tabs - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/ (more RAM resources)
clear cache - chrome://settings/clearBrowserData (less junk files)
set high or realtime priority in task manager (priority boost) |
H: What does the Google Translate shield icon mean?
What does the Google Translate shield icon mean? How can a word be protected?
AI: It is not "protection" but validation. Google Translate allows users to participate in kind off validation program which is able to improve the complexity of translation AI algorithm. This translation AI algorithm kicks in whenever you try to translate phrase or sentence and its purpose is to improve translation experience and make it more "smart-like" because ordinary "word-for-word" (robotic) dictionary translation is already on its edge eg. out-dated. In other words, the validation icon (should) signalise that translation (between two completely different languages which have no common ground nor logic, history etc.) is solid.

H: Can results of ARRAYFORMULA be used as values in an annotated timeline?
I am trying to create an annotated timeline with the following data, which exists on another sheet:
I am using an ARRAYFORMULA to retrieve the text. I want to display these values as an annotated timeline chart, but I keep getting this error:
Each values column may be followed by one or two annotation columns. column number 1 is of type string
I have tried
(Select Column) Format->Number->Date and
(Select Column)Data->Data Validation->Must be valid date
It is driving me nuts. Is it because it is an ARRAYFORMULA? If I hand type it out again (which is simply untenable) the chart generates fine. Is there a fix, or is this just broken?

H: How can I import CSS-weighted font faces such as DemiBold, UltraBold, etc. into Draw.io?
I'm able to import fonts from my computer locally by simply installing the font, and then typing the full name of the font, such as "ITCKabelStd" and it works well, but whenever I try to do "ITCKabelStd-Ultra" or anything with a CSS weight of boldness font face, it doesn't detect it. It just uses the regular front "ITCKabelStd" in place of it when I put the ultra variant. I've checked my computer to make sure those font faces are installed, and they are indeed installed. How can I fix this issue?
AI: each font variant needs to be installed as a standalone font

H: How to check if the 1st letter in a cell is UPPERCASE
I'm trying to find out if the 1st letter in a cell is UPPERCASE. I know how to convert case using PROPER(), UPPER(), and LOWER(), but not how to detect case.

H: Convert inputted time duration to minutes:seconds
I'm working on this spreadsheet, and I wish to convert the data in columns C, D, and E from hours and minutes to minutes and seconds.
For example, an inputted 7:08 turned into 07:08:00.000 (hours and minutes, no seconds) when it should be something like 00:07:08.000 instead (minutes and seconds, no hours).
Is there a way to change how Google Sheets to input time by default so that a duration inputted as mm:ss is automatically turned into mm:ss?
AI: if the custom time format is set to mm:ss you need to input 7min & 8sec as 0:7:8
otherwise you need to use a formula and +1 column to convert it into a plausible format
=TEXT(TIME(, HOUR(C2), MINUTE(C2)), "m:ss") (output is text)
=VALUE(TEXT(TIME(, HOUR(C2), MINUTE(C2)), "m:ss")) (needs to be custom formated)
=TIMEVALUE(TEXT(TIME(, HOUR(C2), MINUTE(C2)), "m:ss")) (works best) |

H: Nested list in draw.io?
I am using an embedded draw.io diagram in Confluence, and I can't seem to find a way to create a nested list. In Confluence, you can add markup, which does the trick, but draw.io doesn't seem to support that feature.
How to create a one level nested list inside a diagram of draw.io?
Example (where bullets are represented by stars):
* first
a
b
* second

My desperate solution is adding whitespaces after the list item, until the nested list item goes to the next line and the indentation level I want (awful, doesn't scale, breaks easily, inconsistent).
AI: From draw.io support in Google groups:
Note: If I try to embed that into a colored container, it will push the colored background, in order to embed itself.

H: How to print the first modified date of a cell
I would like to make a script that works like this script to print a timestamp when a cell was last updated but in this case I want to return when it was first updated, not last.
Here is one attempt:

var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet(); // Get spreadsheet name
var r = s.getActiveCell(); // store active cell name in current spreadsheet
var cell1 = cellOrigin // This is the row I want to put values
if(r.getRow() != cell1) { // Ignores this row (where I put the dates)
var column = r.getColumn(); // Get column # from active cell
var time = new Date(); // Get date and time of last mod
time = Utilities.formatDate(time, "GMT-08:00", "MM/DD/yy, hh:mm:ss"); // Format date and time
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(cellDestination).setValue(time); // put in time in cell

H: Highlight cell border in Google Docs
I'm trying to create a table in Google Docs. I need a header row at the top and a similar column on the left side. To distinguish these from the rest of the table I am trying to embolden the line which separates them from the rest of the table, something like the middle line below:
If I make a selection of cells, a little disclosure triangle appears in the upper right cell of the selection. If I click on this I can select which border edges are displayed, but I can't control their formatting. If I select the menus: Format -> Paragraph Styles -> Borders and Shading I can bold the border "under" each cell, but this winds up not actually affecting the border, but rather an area above it:
How can I just bold specific segments of table borders?

H: Dynamically creating chart in Google Sheets
I'm looking for a way of automatically generating a graph based on a constantly expanding dataset.
The number of columns is constantly expanding (a program create a new column with new datasets for each day).
I want to generate a graph based on the sum of each column. I can generate a sum using:
=SUM(index(SPLIT(filter(Date_Log!F2:F, len(Date_Log!F2:F)), ":"), 0, 1))
but the generating a graph part based on X number of columns is unknown.
It could probably be achieved by "automatically" copying the formula for calculating sum to the top of each column. But the "Automatically" part for each new column generated is also unknown.
AI: you can use SPARKLINE() and do not include ending column (A9:9):
=SPARKLINE(A9:9, {"CHARTTYPE","LINE";"COLOR","GREEN";"LINEWIDTH",4})
if you want to use a chart then you will need to add some unreasonable amount of columns first and then construct your chart (like for example: A9:GG9) |

H: MIN and SUM functions in Google Sheets for Time
I'm trying to use the MIN and SUM function but the answer always comes back with either 0, ERROR or !DIV/0.
The format I want to have for my times are for example: 0.03, 10.56, 1:13.00.
=MIN example:
=SUM example:
One final thing I would want is that the last digit can only be 0, 3 or 6.
So for example 1.03 + 1.06 + 1.03 = 3.13 and not 3.12.
Please help, I've been trying to solve this for days.
AI: first, you need to do is to change your input by entering it like 0:0:10.13 which will output as 00:10.13 if you will follow steps from image and custom format your column:
then you can sum it up with formula =SUM(A8+B10+D7):
lastly, to cover the last digit change you can use simple IF() to convert it based on logic rules:
=IF(AND(VALUE(RIGHT(C13, 1))>0, VALUE(RIGHT(C13, 1))<3), LEFT(C13,7)&0,
IF(AND(VALUE(RIGHT(C13, 1))>3, VALUE(RIGHT(C13, 1))<6), LEFT(C13,7)&3,

H: SUM columns from other sheets and group by month, but also show the individual sheets values before doing SUM
Currently, I have a spreadsheet which has a number of customer sheets, each with a pivot table showing the month in the row I and the total income for each month in row L.
On a separate sheet I have a query that sums all of the month totals (This just shows 2 Customer sheets, normally these sheets are given the name of the customer):
=query({'Sheet1'!I2:I,'Sheet1'!L2:L;'Sheet2'!I2:I,'Sheet2'!L2:L},
"Select Col1, sum(Col2) group by Col1 label Col1 'Month'")
Currently this shows:
| Month | sum
|
| 2018/12 | £ 35.00
| 2019/01 | £ 155.00
| 2019/02 | £ 60.00
| 2019/03 | £ 210.00
| Grand Total | £ 460.00
I have been asked to add a column for each customer sheet which shows the value the query took before it did the SUM, I want each column to be named as the Sheet the column came from. So it should look like:
| Month | sum | Sheet1 | Sheet2
|
| 2018/12 | £ 35.00 | £10 | £25
| 2019/01 | £ 155.00 | £100 | £55
| 2019/02 | £ 60.00 | £30 | £30
| 2019/03 | £ 210.00 | £110 | £100
| Grand Total | £ 460.00
If the totals showed under each sheet name it wouldn't hurt but isn't necessary. The sum could be on the left or right, I'm not worried about it's positioning.
Is there any way to do this in Google Sheets? I have been playing around with query a bit, but haven't managed to get it to display more than 2 Columns.

H: Branch commits don't go instantly to PR
We use Bitbucked for source control (git).
Following situation:
I created branch
added 3 commits to it
created PR
I see 3 commits in this PR.
Then I added additional commit to branch.
I see 4 commits in this branch, but still 3 in PR.
Sometimes it takes several hours for commits (which added after submitting PR) to appear in PR. But sometimes it's almost instantly.
I worked with Bitbucket before and changes in branch always appear in PR instantly.
Why it takes some time to update PR? It is normal? Or configuration issue?
AI: Just found this article on Bitbusket site:
Bitbucket Server relies on hook scripts that are installed into each

H: Calculate cost based on time increments
I am working with a fee sheet that goes up in $ increments based on time and I would like Google Sheets to do the math to calculate the cost based on the time entered into a cell.

H: Blank Redundant Month
I have a large list of days and quantities that I wanted to chart so we could see how many of something we sold on a specific day.
Give this goes back 600 days, there is a lot of data so I have been asked to have the x-axis only display the month + a year for a given chunk of the data, i.e. all the Jan - 2016 sales just have a single label saying "Jan- 2016" for the next 20-30 data points.
However, the data itself should not be aggregated. This is purely a cosmetic change, the shape of the chart will not itself change.
This is proving more difficult than I anticipated since the days aren't evenly spaced and I don't exactly want to brute force check every preceding cell to see if the next cell is a different month.
I just feel there is some basic config I have missed for this as I can see the Y-axis behaves that way.
AI: insert 2 more columns between A and B column
paste this formula into B2 cell:

If {range1; range2; range3} (I believe this is called embedded arrays) outputs the combined data in a column - top to down, what puts them side by side next to each other?
The 3 ranges may or may not differ in dimensions (different number of columns, which embedded arrays dislike) and I'm trying not to use 3 different formulas in different cells.

all in one column stacked under: {range1; range2; range3} |
H: Received an email saying someone has hacked my email account
The hacker said they have access to my contacts, social media, and that they've also installed a keylogger onto my system. They want money.
The Gmail email header says:
Similar messages were used to steal people's personal information. Moreover,Gmail could not verify that this message actually came from
xx.xx@gmail.com. Avoid clicking links, downloading attachments,
or replying with personal information.
This is what the security on Gmail says:
security: vodafone-ip.de did not encrypt this message Learn more
The hacker also stated one of my older passwords, and it is right. But I changed that password almost an year ago.
I try to keep all my passwords different, and just changed my Google password. How is this possible? If it is needed, I can post the full message
Edit: the email also says that they have installed a Trojan keylogger to my computer (mac). Should I be worried? I was thinking of factory resetting it just to be safe.
I used MalwareBytes as suggested, and it deleted some files such as IronCore/ssinfo.plist (if I'm remembering correctly). I have no idea what these are.
I read the email once again, and this is a line from it: "I studied your love life and created a good video series." Thing is, I don't have a love life, so it's probably a scam.
AI: I've recently got a few of these emails along similar lines, while there is some variation to them they typically claim to have hacked your account and threaten to release data if a ransom isn't paid. They haven't actually done so, just hoping that people will send them money.
This article gives a reasonable overview of the scam:
Did you recently receive an email with one of your old passwords in the subject line and a request for bitcoin? It’s a new kind of scam.
The sender says they have used that password to hack your computer, install malware, and record video of you through your webcam.
Basically, the attackers don’t actually have video of you or access to your contacts, and they haven’t been able to install malicious code on your computer. In reality, they’re taking a password from a database that’s available online, sending it to you, and hoping you’re scared enough to believe their story and send them bitcoin.
And suggestions for keeping safe:
... good ideas to keep yourself safe: use long and strong passwords, get a password manager to ensure each account has a unique password, and turn on two-factor authentication on your important accounts. |
H: How to batch remove trash label
By accident I got a lot of emails moved to the Trash folder. There I can see them with the "Trash" label, as well as the original label. But it seems impossible to select all mails in trash with a certain label, and then move them anywhere.
Is there any way to just remove the "Trash" label from all emails, so they will only appear in their original labels?
AI: You can search for all mails in trash that have a certain label like this:
in:trash label:your_custom_label
Once you search for them, click on the select box and select All. Then, click on the Move to Inbox button to get them out of Trash. To move them to their label (i.e. remove them from inbox), from inbox, search for the respective mails and archive them. |
H: ArrayFormula for conditional consequential sum-up?
I have a table which looks like this:

=IF(A3>5, B2, B2+1)

AI: =ArrayFormula({"Result";IF(A2:A="","",COUNTIFS(ROW(A2:A),"<="&ROW(A2:A),A2:A,"<=5"))}) |
H: Error while banning members. One or more members were not banned
I moderate a Google Groups which gets a lot of spam.
Messages from newcomers must be moderated before they get posted.
Usually I select and allow the valid messages, then select all of the others and ban them altogether.
Problem: Sometimes I get this message:
Error while banning members. One or more members were not banned.
Refreshing does not resolve the problem. Actually some moderators have learned to live with a broken moderation queue for months.
How to empty my moderation queue when that happens?
AI: Two important facts to take into account:
These failures are often limited to a single message.
Not being able to ban a sender does not mean that you can not delete the message.
So, proceed like this:
Ban in batches, for instance 5 by 5, and ignore the batches that fail
When you only have a few left, ban one by one. Now you only have the ones whose ban really fails
Select them all and press "Delete". These users will not be banned but at least they will not prevent you from banning the others in the future. Also, even if these few users are not banned, they are not allowed either so if they post again they will have to go through moderation, hopefully with a successful ban this time. |
H: Sum all values with same month and category
So I have this table where I'm writing down my daily expenses.
On one cell I choose the date, the next cell I choose the category and in the third, I insert the amount of money spent.
On another sheet I have another table where I want to add the values that have the same months and categories in common:
One cell for "Food" in "January", another for "travel" in "January" then on another table "Food" in "February" and so on...
I tried something like:
=LOOKUP("Food",$E$16:$E$18,$D$16:$D$18 )
or:
=IF(MONTH(B16)=1,
IF(C16="Food",+D16))+
IF(MONTH(B17)=1,
IF(C16="Food",+D17))
or even:
=IF(ISBLANK(D2);"";SUM(FILTER($B$2:B;$A$2:A=D2)))
and so on...
But none of this is working as I want.
Does anyone have any idea about how to go about doing this?
My file:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13R6xUhZCX-wjOPXfpiZYOgsN18oLo8QTuYJ2H4mqqos/edit?usp=sharing
AI: paste this into C3 and drag down:
=IFERROR(QUERY(Daily!$B:$D,
"select sum(D)
where C = '"&B4&"' and month(B) + 1 matches '"&MONTH(B$3&1)&"'
group by C
label sum(D)''", 0), 0)
then copy cell C3 and paste it in G3 and drag down... |
H: Picking the Total from the Next Week
I have the next year mapped out (one line for each day) and have the week subtotal at the end of each week (which is a Friday).
I am wanting the Next weeks subtotal to show in another cell for that week. For example, now that we have passed the 25-Jan it will then show the next subtotal (being 1-Feb), then when the 2-Feb comes the 8-Feb will show:
Date Daily Count Weekly Count
21/01/19 5
22/01/19 5
23/01/19 5
24/01/19 5
25/01/19 5 25
26/01/19 1
27/01/19 1
28/01/19
29/01/19
30/01/19
31/01/19
01/02/19 2
02/02/19
Really have no idea how to do this one.
AI: SOLVED
Thank you to Erik
Erik's response was very detailed and very helpful if I ever needed an option like this down the track, ended up using the other one due to the current format of my Sheet
Ended up using the following formula as the data would be used on another sheet (that I would monitor daily as there are 59 different data sheets in the project)
=SUM(QUERY(QUERY({{A2:B},{ARRAYFORMULA(IF(LEN(A2:A), WEEKNUM(A2:A, 16), ))}},
"select *", 0),
"select Col2
where Col3 matches '"&WEEKNUM(TODAY(), 16)&"'", 0))
Thanks again, spent hours on this and solved in no time thanks to the aforementioned personal |
H: Find out what's become of my YouTube user report
A few days ago I reported a user to YouTube support. Now I can't remember what the username was, but I'd like to know what YouTube decided to do about my report.
However, I can't find any menu item or link pointing to the history of my report activities or anything like that in my YouTube account.
I still have the report URL in my browser history, which is like https://www.youtube.com/reportabuse?report_abuse_type=S&u=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (with xxxxxxxxxxxxxx actually being a different code, here masked for privacy), so I assume that's some (YouTube-internal) user id: maybe I can somehow obtain the username from that and deduce what they decided to do, based on the current user existence, but I don't really know how.
Anyway a real tracking of reports status would be better.
AI: Viewing reported users is not available for end customers. All you can get is viewing your reported history which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/reporthistory
View your Reporting History
YouTube reviews user flags to determine whether or not videos violate
our Community Guidelines. Visit your Reporting History page to see the
current status of videos you have flagged on YouTube:
Active: videos that are either not yet reviewed or that we determined
don’t violate YouTube community guidelines.
Removed: videos that have
been removed from YouTube.
Restricted: videos that have been placed in
one of several restricted states such as age-restriction or Limited
Features. Some videos may also appear with the text “Information about
this video isn’t available”. This could be because the video was
removed by the creator, or is not available on YouTube for a reason

country).
Flagged videos are listed in the order you flagged them, from newest
to oldest. If you flag a video multiple times, it will appear only
once, in order of the last time you most recently flagged it.
In some instances, the video you flagged may not appear in the

H: Create random pairs without duplicates
I try to randomly pair people into unique pairs.
I have two columns one with helping values created via Rand() and one that ranks upon these values with
=INDEX($A$2:$A$164,RANK(S2,$S$2:$S$164))
However, this results in a lot of duplicates and circles in the two pairs:
Phillip - Hendrik
Fran - Lucy
Lucy - Phillip
Hendrik - Hendrik
What I want is:
Phillip - Hendrik
Fran - Lucy
Lucy - Fran
Hendrik - Phillip
I could easily half the two groups but this does not seem to be the best solution and also not really random if I do it manually.
Any ideas?
AI: Moritz. Immediately, I notice that your range contains an odd number of items ($A$2:$A$164 contains 163 cells); so not everyone will be paired with someone. In any solution, then, in order to include all names, you'd need to make sure your range always has an even number of cells—in this case one more than there are number of people (i.e., $A$2:$A$165).
Also, you'll want to be certain that your File > Spreadsheet settings > Calculation setting is set to "on change" or your list will be regenerated automatically every minute or every hour, depending on which other setting is currently selected.
That said, I'm going to start from scratch, ignoring any columns you may have set up other than the names in Column A. Then you can apply this to your actual setup:
Clear Column B entirely in preparation for an array formula. This will be a "helper column" which can hide later if you like.
Place the following formula into B2:
=ArrayFormula(QUERY({A2:A165,RANDBETWEEN(0 * ROW(A2:A165), 100000000000000)/100000000000000},"Select Col1 Order By Col2"))
Place the following formula anywhere else that has two open columns side by side (say, C2, for the sake of argument):
=ArrayFormula({QUERY({ROW(B2:B165)-1,B2:B165},"Select Col2 Where Col1 <= "&ROWS(B2:B165)/2),QUERY({ROW(B2:B165)-1,B2:B165},"Select Col2 Where Col1 > "&ROWS(B2:B165)/2)})
The Column B formula will provide a randomized, non-duplicating list of your names.
The Column C formula will take the top half of that list and pair it with the bottom half.
You can't (to my knowledge) merge this into one formula, because randomizing functions are triggered by each sub-formula within a longer formula, so you'd wind up with duplicates. By creating a single helper column with RAND(), we can refer to it with the other formula while not getting duplicates. |
H: Why is Twitter showing me old Tweets much more often past few days and what can I do with it?
For the last week or so, I am noticing, that about half of my Timeline is older than a day. Very often it is more than two or even more too. I am sure, that this didn't happen before.
However, I didn't find any news about this change, only recent news is about original tweeter (NBC for example).
What is the reason? Is there any other change? Or is it a bug? Can I turn it back in some settings?
AI: Twitter has made some changes about showing top Tweets first and the latest Tweets first recently.
By default it shows top Tweets first, because of that you are seeing old Tweets first on your Timeline. You need to change that setting:
Open up Twitter
Go to Settings and Privacy
Go to Account
Scroll down to Timeline Show the best Tweets first in Content section
Un-check that box
If you are on mobile using iOS or Android, you can change this setting by doing following:
About the announcement of these changes you can follow Twitter and Twitter Support handles. Below are few status you can see:

H: How do you read the original question in Quora?
I've grown very well accustomed to the simple setup for Q&A on Stack Exchange, and when I Google a question and get a match with a Stack Exchange website, it's great.
However, Quora has grown to be a big enough website that sometimes it's (unfortunately) the only place that I can find a match to my question.
As long as it answers my question, that's great. But I have one huge issue with Quora that drives me crazy:
How do you read the original question posted on Quora?
The answers to questions often refer to content in the original question, so it seems that there must be some way to see it. However, I can never find anything other than the bold, 7-15 word title at the top.
For example this question:
https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-purpose-of-MySQL-master-slave-setup
... In the answer, he starts with "No it is not only for backup.".
So where do I find the question that actually mentions something about "backup"?
AI: You need to login to see the details. Question details are in comments.
Previously there was a feature* to add details about your question below the question. Now that feature has removed and question details has been added in the comments.

H: Test if value of cell is used in a formula
In a google sheet I have some values that are used in formulas in other cells (until now, nothing unusual...).
I would like these cells to have a special color to be aware that if I modifiy them, other cells will be modified as well. Is there a function to test if a cell's value is used elsewhere?
I am looking for a simple built-in way to do this, without macros, and I just need to know wether the cell is used elsewhere or not, not by whom, or neither what it does.
Thanks for your help
AI: At this time there is no built-in way to find precedent/dependent cells, the only way is by using an add-on or script.

H: Finding row number from value which is in between ranges
I have attached a picture containing two column B and C. If my input to this table is 2.3, it should return me row number where my input value is greater than or equal to B column value and less than C column value.
Manually for 2.3 it should return the first-row number of the table.
Manually for 5.75 it should return the fourth-row number of the table.
AI: Vignesh, having two columns is unnecessary (and actually contradictory), since the "next row" of any row in your first column is the upper limit of the preceding row, and since, as you have it now, some values appear on two rows (e.g., 3.5 is currently the upper limit of row 1 and the lower limit of row 2).
You only need your first column.
If that column's data started in B5, and if the value you want to match were typed into B1, the following formula (placed anywhere other than underneath the data column) would give you the row you want:
=IFERROR(MATCH(B1,B5:B,1),"UNDER RANGE") |
H: What is the use of "Undo" in Gmail notification?
In Gmail, I send a email then I receive a pop up at left bottom corner:
What is the use of "Undo" option in this pop up?
AI: From a Google answers question:
Recall an email with Undo Send
If you decide you don't want to send an email, you have a short time after to cancel it. Right after you send a message, you can retract it.
and
Choose an amount of time to recall a message
On your computer, go to Gmail.
In the top right, click Settings and again Settings.
Next to "Undo Send," select a Send cancellation period of 5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds.
Google keeps the mails on its servers for the time you specify here. That's how they can actually implement this: they don't immediately send your mail. The default (and minimum) time is 5 seconds.
The mail does not get deleted, you can e.g. edit it and resend.
Note: there are people claiming that in the case of sending mail to another Gmail account, the message is send immediately, because Google "can remove the message from the recipient's inbox."
I have not yet seen proof of that, and I doubt it is true, because it would raise privacy issues. |
H: VLOOKUP is not finding text value on other sheet
See this example spreadsheet.
I get #N/A value when I try to find bbb on sheet2 using formula =VLOOKUP(A1;sheet2!$A$1:$B$4;1;FALSE)
How to fix it?
AI: VLOOKUP is able to look for something only if that something is in the first column of the lookup. In your case is bbb in the second column of the range A1:B4 you looking for. Fix is:
switch A column with B column on your sheet2
exclude A column from range: =VLOOKUP(A1; sheet2!B1:B; 1; 0)
use: =VLOOKUP(A1; {sheet2!B1:B\sheet2!A1:B}; 1; 0) |
H: Automatically (protect or update or retain) a cell's formula when a row is added from "Zapier and Twilio"
When a row is added in this case from a (Zapier into a Google sheet, the formula in a cell not used by the incoming data is deleted.
How can I retain/protect the original formula in column AE being =IF( $Y:$Y ,,$C:$C) or automatically update it from the previous row, when the zap inserts a new row?

={"arrayformula here"; ARRAYFORMULA(IF($Y2:$Y, , $C2:$C))} |
H: Google Sheets Query with Date and Time
I need help with a query. I need to filter on some Google Form data and only show the results that have been submitted AFTER a specific timestamp.
Timestamp Cell = J2 - This cell is in the following format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
Day Query - This one seems to work ok but its only at the day level.
=query(FormResponses!A2:G,"Select * Where A > date '"&text(J2,"YYYY-mm-dd") & "'" )
Time of Day Query - This one also seems to work ok but only at the time level.
=query(FormResponses!A2:G,"Select * Where A > timeofday'" & text(J2, "HH:mm:ss") & "'" )
When I try to combine the two, it returns no results and I can not figure out why. I do see some wierd issues with the ">" in the queries above so i am second guessing the accuracy of the above queries to begin with. Does anyone have a sample of checking both date and time in a google sheets query?

Does this mean IP logs, account names, emails, etc? The description is quite vague. However, someone more experienced may know.
I would like to know if it’s ok to download those games and movies we all love without being sent a warning by DMCA.
I don’t know if this is the right place to post this question. If not, please redirect me to the right forum.
Thank you
AI: The webpage says:
MediaFire takes your privacy seriously and is not in the business of tracking you; we are in the business of helping you store, share, and access your data.
Note #1 says a log file is retained for 3 hours and note #2 says that the information necessary to allow downloads to be resumed is retained in memory for 72 hours.
... without being sent a warning by DMCA ...
Theoretically, they could see the file that they object to has been uploaded, go to court and obtain a warrant to seize the log files and obtain a 3-hour long list of downloaders.
So yes, it's possible just unlikely.
It's more likely, and useful, to go after the uploader or complain that the website doesn't check all it's uploads, but that's what a takedown request is for. A large website can't watch everything and there are no simple means to catch everything.
YouTube has a system in place where content creators can upload samples which are then tested against uploads. On YouTube, you get a "strike" for a match, three strikes and you'll be banned from uploading for a period of time. It is also possible to dispute the complaint, I've done that a few times and been successful since the matching algorithms are not perfect and the other party makes mistakes sometimes; I make certain that I don't make such a mistake and get banned. |

H: Finding closest value within a range of cells spread across the rows
Attached the Google Drive link and we have to refer to scenario 2 sheet of the spreadsheet.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HKePsd4SPSNdPujnwKLvq2i8xeg5sQgy
Here some value is given in rows and we need to find the closest value from this range of cells in a row. Input is also given in the sheet and it is very much related to Scenario 1 sheet given in the link where given values are arranged in a column.
Scenario 2 sheet contains the values arranged in rows instead of columns.
So we need to find the closest value for the given input and also column number of that row which matches with the input value.
AI: I have set up a new sheet ("Erik Help") with variations on these two formulas (these from B8 and B9 respectively), which are a hybrid of MARK's, sageco's and my own formulas:
=IF(((B7<F1)*(B7>AH1))+(B7>MAX(F1:1))+(B7<MIN(F1:1))>0,-1,ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(
SORT(ArrayFormula({TRANSPOSE(F1:1),ABS(TRANSPOSE(F1:1)-B7)}),2,1),1,1))
=IF(B8=-1,-1,MATCH(B8,A1:1,0))
