The question is &#8220;How do I filter a database in Google Sheets based on dates, checkboxes, and dropdown selections?&#8221;</p><p>The actual problem is he has a list of cars. He wants t filter out everything that is outside of the start date and end date. I'm not sure if these are particularly the date of sale or date of creation. There is a little bit of interesting thing you can do with dates.</p><h2><strong>What you'll get when you finish this tutorial</strong></h2><p>With this tutorial, you&#8217;ll learn how to filter everything that is outside of the start and end dates. It&#8217;s basically learning how to filter between two dates.</p><p>You&#8217;ll also learn how to filter different situations using checkboxes.</p><p>Are you ready to learn something new today? Let&#8217;s get started!</p><h3><strong>Two particular problems</strong></h3><p>There are two particular problems here. He's asking for a car type Nissan only or Nissan and Toyota. In order to solve this challenge, there are a few ways to deal with this. It's just a little complicated question because the answers are vastly different. I'm going to get through this as best I can with the information I have. It&#8217;s absolutely understandable if this is not the correct answer.</p><p>The very first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to create a list of cars with these kinds of data. I'm now going to show you how to set this up.</p><h3><strong>Setting up the database function</strong></h3><p>The first thing we have is a database.</p><p>He's asking for a database function where you have the table of raw data. You see everything, including the bar above that you can filter.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

This tutorial is about every locale listed in Google Sheets.</p><p>If you live in a country that is not well represented with blog posts or someone makes a blog post about a Google Sheets issue, they create a Google Sheet formula and then you copy and paste it into your sheet and it has the wrong delimiter. How do you resolve that?</p><p>I'm going to show you how you can fix that and how you can know if there's a problem.</p><h3><strong>Locales.

Learn how to use it to quickly identify patterns and trends in your data and take your sheets to new heights. Discover it now!</p><p>Conditional formatting is a useful tool in Google Sheets for highlighting and identifying patterns and trends in data. Some of the best use cases for conditional formatting include:</p><ol><li><p>Highlighting cells that meet certain conditions: For example, you can use conditional formatting to highlight cells that contain values above or below a certain threshold, or that match a certain text string.</p></li><li><p>Identifying duplicates: You can use conditional formatting to quickly identify duplicate values in a range of cells.</p></li><li><p>Color-coding data: You can use conditional formatting to color-code cells based on their values, making it easier to identify patterns and trends in the data.</p></li><li><p>Comparing data: You can use conditional formatting to compare data across different columns or rows, such as comparing actual sales to projected sales.</p></li><li><p>Identifying errors: You can use conditional formatting to highlight cells that contain errors, such as invalid data or formulas that return errors.</p></li><li><p>Highlighting specific values: You can use conditional formatting to highlight cells that contain specific values, such as important dates or keywords.</p></li><li><p>Highlighting data that meet multiple conditions: You can use nested conditional formatting to highlight cells that meet multiple conditions.</p></li><li><p>Data visualization: Conditional formatting can be used to create simple yet effective data visualization, such as heat maps, color-coded maps, etc.</p></li></ol><p>It's important to keep in mind that while conditional formatting can be a useful tool, it should be used in a meaningful way that supports the data analysis and not just for the sake of using it.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Conditional Formatting Downsides</strong></h2><h3><strong>The dark side of this awesome Google Sheets tool</strong></h3><p></p><h2><strong>What are the downsides to using conditional formatting in Google sheets?</strong></h2><ul><li><p>Complexity can get overwhelming</p></li><li><p>Performance may slow down your sheet</p></li><li><p>Limited Options</p></li><li><p>Color Blindness</p></li><li><p>Incorrect usage</p></li></ul><p>Let's go a bit deeper.</p><h2><strong>Conditional Formatting May Get Too Complex</strong></h2><p>Conditional formatting can become complex when trying to apply multiple rules or nested conditions. This can make it difficult to understand and manage the formatting rules. One of my favorite things to do with conditional formatting is to go beyond the clickable options and use the Custom Formula section to create conditional formatting. But for some this can be overwhelming. And for those who might have to manage your sheets after you've left an organization can be daunting to change, or update.</p><h2><strong>Your Sheets' Performance Could Degrade</strong></h2><p>When working with large datasets, conditional formatting can slow down the performance of the sheet. This is because the rules are constantly being reapplied as the data is updated.</p><p>And it's reapplied each and every time you edit a cell. The entire conditional formatting rule will check. Even with a few thousand rows, perhaps well under 1 million cells, you'll see the progress bar appear for condional formatting.</p><p>While a sheet technically has a 10,000,000 cell limit, the performance of your sheets along with Conditional formatting will degrade far before that limit is reached.</p><h2><strong>Conditional Formatting has Limited Options</strong></h2><p>While conditional formatting is useful for highlighting certain data, it may not be suitable for more advanced data visualization needs. There may be limited options for customizing the formatting or styling.</p><p></p><p>Read it all here: https://blog.bettersheets.co/google-sheets-conditional-formatting-upsides-downsides/</p><p></p><p>P.S.

Sheets?</strong></h2><p>There are a few reasons. If you&#8217;re writing a newsletter like I am, there are a lot of different article titles that I capture over the course of a week. And when I put them into my newsletter, I want to reformat them to be standard. So, using this very simple formula saves me an hour a week from capitalizing or working on each individual letter of an article title. You can also uppercase winners&#8217; names if you&#8217;re doing some kind of ranking system. And when you use lowercase, you might want something easier to read or you may want to use it for a subtitle. There are a lot of reasons why and whatever they are, let&#8217;s get to it. Let&#8217;s start learning how to apply uppercase and lowercase, as well as capitalizing each letter of a word.</p><p></p><p>Read it

when I presented to members &#8220;Tiny Sheets&#8221; The google Sheet add-on that lets you create a 1 cell sheet.</p><p>This is an amazing question!</p><p>I&#8217;ve been using 1-cell sheets for a while now. And I use 1 column sheets too. Or 2 column sheets. So here are the reasons I use it and can imagine you can use little, tiny, small sheets too.</p><p>&#128161; Install Tiny Sheets here: <a href="https://tinysheets.bettersheets.co/">tinysheets.bettersheets.co</a> (for free)</p><h2><strong>Simple Container</strong></h2><p>One common use case for a single-celled Google Sheet is as a simple container for storing a single piece of data, such as an API key or a singular setting. By naming the sheet and accessing it through Apps Script, it can be a quick and easy way to keep track of important information that you need to reference frequently.</p><p>And can be easy to create named ranges.</p><h2><strong>Create Lists</strong></h2><p>Another use case for a small number of cells in a Google Sheet is as a simple list or drop-down menu. You can create a one-column sheet to create a list of items that you can use in a drop-down menu in other parts of your spreadsheet.</p><h2><strong>Dashboards Starter</strong></h2><p>When you're creating a dashboard, you know you only want to show what's in the viewport. If you've done this enough, you know it's faster to build up from nothing, or 1 cell. Than it is to delete all the unnecessary rows and columns.</p><h2><strong>Setup for Zapier</strong></h2><p>If you gather data into a Google Spreadsheet from a 3rd party automation program such as Zapier, you&#8217;ll sometimes need to just set up the headers and not the data of a sheet.</p><p>As part of a Zap the automation will create a new row. So it&#8217;s better in fact to have no rows. Or rather 1 single row of headers and then let the automation add each row of data as needed.</p><h2><strong>Vlookup List</strong></h2><p>Similarly, a two-column sheet can be used as a mini-database for vlookup, making it easy to find and retrieve specific information.</p><h2><strong>Starting Point</strong></h2><p>Another possible use for small sheets is as a starting point for a larger project. Some users find it easier to start with a small sheet and then build out as needed, rather than having to delete rows and columns each time they create a new sheet. This can be particularly useful when working with a team, as it makes it easier to share the sheet and collaborate on its development.</p><h2><strong>Spectrum of Options</strong></h2><p>More broadly there is a lot of points along the way from 1 cell to 26,000 cells. A new sheet will usually have 26 columns and 1,000 rows. That&#8217;s 26,000 cells. But between that point and a single cell there is a wide array of options. I just have the belief that you shouldn&#8217;t have to start at 26,000 and go down. Going from 1 cell to many might be easier for some use cases.</p><h2><strong>Tiny Sheets is Free</strong></h2><p>In conclusion, while a single-celled sheet may not be the most immediately useful tool, it can be a useful starting point for a variety of projects. And there some unique use cases for it.</p><p>Read it all here: https://blog.bettersheets.co/why-i-want-a-one-cell-google-sheet/</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything is

You can&#8217;t do everything.</strong></h2><p>And I see this same issue in Google Sheets.</p><h2><strong>The possibilities are endless</strong></h2><p>I get emails every week, almost every day asking &#8220;is this possible in Google Sheets?&#8221; The answer is always yes. But that&#8217;s not what people are actually asking. They want to know how to do the thing they are trying to do. But here are a few things stopping them.</p><p>Their thing is actually many things. Many steps. Many user inputs and then&#8230; and then&#8230; something happens automatically.</p><p>Ah, the word &#8220;automatically&#8221; I see this word throw around a lot, and I cover it in my new course: spreadsheet Automation 101. There&#8217;s so many flavors of &#8220;Automatically&#8221; that it could be the baskin robbins of spreadsheets.</p><p>I don&#8217;t know if there are actually 31 different variations but there might be.</p><p>A few variations: show something, based on user interaction. Show something based on user input. Do something every day. Do something every week. Do something at one time and then never again. That&#8217;s 5 right there.</p><p>But back to what&#8217;s possible in Google Sheets.</p><p>Anything is possible. But not everything.</p><p>You can usually get something done, that you want done, in Google Sheets, but it comes with caveats. Comes with a tax.</p><h2><strong>Google Sheets are a blank slate.</strong></h2><p>It&#8217;s just like ripping out a never-ending sheet of paper from your notebook and writing on it. Jotting down numbers,rows,columns, and then being able to save, erase, and rip up that paper. And then add functions to that paper. And then mail it to your coworker instantly in another state, another country, and they can write on that, and add to it. And erase and delete anything.</p><p>That paper can be big, can be small.</p><p>That paper can be hooked up to a data stream.</p><p>That paper can be saved, copied, and shared easily and quickly.</p><h2><strong>Can I not share Sheets?</strong></h2><p>One more thing people ask me if it&#8217;s possible to do: <em><strong>not share.</strong></em></p><p>I always think to myself: But you&#8217;re using Google Sheets. Beyond html it&#8217;s the mightiest sharable program on the internet. Literally the best thing since the invention of javascript.</p><p>Here&#8217;s the thing: It <em><strong>IS</strong></em> possible to use Google Sheets and not share.<br>But the moment you share with one person, poof! There goes your sheet.</p><p>It&#8217;s just like literally everything else on the internet. Photos, Video, Text, Ideas. You share them.. They are shared.</p><p>Sure you can &#8220;unshare&#8221; a sheet.</p><p>But you can&#8217;t have the immense portability and share-ability of Google Sheets, share a sheet and then expect that someone else can&#8217;t / won&#8217;t share.</p><p><em>I&#8217;m sure someone will be able to solve this.</em></p><p>I&#8217;ve tried to with OnlySheets. That helps you not share a sheet you didn&#8217;t intend to share. It adds viewers to a sheet once they&#8217;ve paid, and no one else. But still that sheet is shared with that person and that person can make a copy. You can of course turn off that feature in your own sheet. That&#8217;s possible.</p><p>But you cut off saving, downloading.. Editing. The collaborative-ness of sheets.</p><blockquote><p><em><strong>You can share or not share.</strong><br><strong>You can&#8217;t share AND not share.</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>That is, until someone creates DRM for sheets. Which I&#8217;m actively working on.</p><p>But still no matter what if you do end up sharing and they can only access the sheet and nobody else.. Then you&#8217;re probably better off printing a book. Which even a book can be (and is) copied, a lot.</p><h2><strong>Sharing is a Google Sheet super power</strong></h2><p>Why do you want to take that away? Why not be collaborative, share what you can, with whom you can.</p><p>...Is this possible in Sheets?</p><p>Yes</p><p>the answer is always yes.</p><p>You may have to write some complicated/complex formulas.</p><p>You might have to <a href="https://www.udemy.com/course/spreadsheet-automation-101/learn/lecture/35476094?couponCode=A1AB9C18DEC175DDEF45#overview">write Apps Script</a>.</p><p>You might have to use a feature.</p><p>You might have to do some, not all of what you're trying to do.</p><p></p><p>Read it all here: https://blog.bettersheets.co/anything-is-possible-in-google-sheets-but-not-everything/</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Redesigning This Copywriting Tool ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Redesigning an infographic to become a spreadsheet.]]></description><link>https://bettersheets.substack.com/p/redesigning-this-copywriting-tool</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://bettersheets.substack.com/p/redesigning-this-copywriting-tool</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alea]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2023 12:01:15 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/youtube/w_728,c_limit/y1BTTbOydf0" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Redesigning an infographic to become a spreadsheet. </p><p>Get the sheet here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xS6H8tGW5TyaxAeS804-U9hzkZysqfpfwbUppgkTTmU/edit">Better Than Happy by BetterSheets.co</a></p><p></p><div id="youtube2-y1BTTbOydf0" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;y1BTTbOydf0&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:&quot;26s&quot;,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/y1BTTbOydf0?start=26s&amp;rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn to Love Your Sheets]]></title><description><![CDATA[Learn to love spreadsheets you make.]]></description><link>https://bettersheets.substack.com/p/learn-to-love-your-sheets-5bd</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://bettersheets.substack.com/p/learn-to-love-your-sheets-5bd</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alea]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 05 Feb 2023 12:01:03 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/youtube/w_728,c_limit/vwpjoxjjHow" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Learn to love spreadsheets you make.

If you're trying to. Sort of. Imbue your sheets with some other companies sort of branding say chat, GPT or Twitter, or social media, Facebook Mastodon. If there's coloring that people are used to, and they start using your Google sheet, they might see, or if it was getting, it's just going to be black and white and pretty boring. </p><p>But if you can imbue your own personality with interesting colors, interesting color choice, or </p><p>Take on other companies.
