Google Sheets - Check or Uncheck All Checkboxes

[@davidfernandezbajo]

Great as always. Selecting the column and hitting the spacebar gets it also done.

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Awesome!

[@UConceptPublishing]

There will be less steps with his script once created.

[@smartersean]

good luck trying to do that from your phone...

[@bludreem121]

I need to thank you. I'm new to javascript, and I've thrown myself in over my head on a project at work. At least half a dozen times over the last week, when I've searched for the solution to a problem, one of your videos came up. They've helped me implement script, and not just a simple copy of what you demonstrate, but because of your explanations, I've been able to expand beyond them. I can't thank you enough.

[@JetMaxim666]

This is literally the video I've been needing for the past 2 months. I'm subbed for life dude! Keep it up!

[@smartersean]

I'm subbing just on the basis of your comment!

[@bocobox]

I'm loving your tutorial of App script. They are very clean and organized. I'm getting more understanding of Java Script with the help of your video. Thanks.

[@MrBatmanLima]

Not only instructive, but teached very nicely and with patience !

[@teresalgeorge]

I cannot express how easy your tutorials are!! THANK YOU!

[@sharitambasco9780]

Great vid, thanks. What I really appreciate is how you demonstrated more than one option in the script editor for getting the sheet.

[@dhritirajdas6876]

Got a great compliment in the company thanks to your app script videos. Developed some automation project in google sheet using app script. Keep up the good work man. Really love your work. Also recommend many friends of mine too.🔥🔥🔥

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Great to hear!

[@anliteacher9147]

DUDE THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN! ♥ You explain so well and your voice is not rushed and very clear! ♥ i lov eyou

[@learningstuff5679]

Thank you so much! This tutorial was awesome!! Very clear and easy to follow along. Subscribed.

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Awesome, thank you!

[@ksardari]

As usual a very nice video, thanks a lot! I did the same not long time ago. I put a checkbox at the top Cell G1 and used the function onEdit to watch whether G1 is changed. Then I read the Value of G1 and and write it to all Cells as you did.

[@giancarloschafloqueguzman9918]

I know that I can give like 👍 before opening the video👌

[@melenev]

Your tutorials are fantastic! I recently did something similar but used an OnEdit function with a separate Checkbox when checked, all boxes set to True, and when unchecked all boxes set to False

[@marcvanmaastricht4638]

That was exactly what I was thinking while watching the tutorial! That’s even more beautiful.

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Nice. I myself rarely use onEdit, because it's slow and I find it annoying :)

[@marcvanmaastricht977]

Ok, and is there another/better way to use a google sheets checkbox to get the same result?

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Not really. That's why I prefer a button or a menu item to click on. That way users expects to wait after clicking the button.

[@ZoneDoctor]

Thank you for your great instructional video, there are several ways to accomplish similar things on the web, however, yours was most complete and allowed me to do exactly what I wanted to do. I'm using a Google Worksheet to improve clinical documentation of treatment performed (no identifiable data is ever transferred to Google). One push of the 'Clear Form' button that I was able to create clears all checkboxes on both worksheets I use to improve documentation since every EMR/EHR software really misses the mark and doesn't allow providers to put together information nicely. Sure, there is a lot of work behind the end result (in my case), however, without you I'd still be struggling to find a solution to easily clear data. Thanks again!!!

[@user-xc6cb5pm9h]

Very understandable for a non coder. I am looking for a how to take Google Sheet check boxes in a online form like document with Yes and No checkboxes side by side. Where a user cannot check both the Yes and No boxes. Do you have any ideas how to make that practical for me to implement? PS, there are many such Y/N corresponding boxes.

[@NourishMoveRestReflect]

Really helped me out! Thanks!

[@somalutionbodyrevolution2660]

What a cool guide! Thanks!

[@wouterdekoning]

Great tutorial, how can I check boxes horizontally? I'm making a cost overview and want to select only the people who are involved with the expenditure. If everyone is involved then I want a 'check all' box, which checks all the boxes horizontally.

[@kimberlycannon4435]

Thank you so much! It worked!!!!!!!

[@shaunsullivan4611]

love this, well done!

[@fahimedits3]

Sir is it possible for every row? Can we check all boxes in every row? for example : i have 50 row and 5 different column to check everytime.

[@eliasreinhard7260]

How can you use the button on the mobile version of sheets

[@jhicinternational]

thanks

[@tanhongwai6352]

is the button created in the sheet able to be executed in mobile version?

[@telltheirstories]

You rock!

[@kimberlycannon4435]

Question??? The script is working and when I click the drawing it unchecks all of the checkboxes, HOWEVER, it also adds lines to the bottom of my spreadsheet each time. I'm not sure what I did wrong but if you know and can offer some advice I'd appreciate it.

[@mayurparmar]

Thank you this helps :)

[@lifecoachclo]

Do you have a tutorial on something similar in Google Sheets like resetting dropdown cells as a bulk action? I've looked at Stackoverflow and other areas and can't find a clear explanation

[@tomsawkins9828]

I like using a custom menu so buttons don’t get in the way

[@user-ml4li7ru3g]

Can you provide any information or another video demonstrating how to get this to run on a tablet? I am able to perform this function on windows machine but when I access the sheet on a tablet the script will not run. Thank you!

[@LWPNOW]

Hey how do I add a string so it unchecks boxes in multiple tabs with 1 button, not just 1 tab. I have 16 tabs and I want to uncheck them all with a master button. Is this possible?

[@markanthonyremollo423]

Works super awesome. I just have a problem with the execution, Because of my mistake on some letters. It need to be exact big or small. But I dont get it why it need to be exact But all over its working now its so good

[@risandiusman6086]

hi, i am very impressed with your whole video on spreadsheets, can you make a video tutorial on how to create column and row borders with an app script?

[@guilhermewilliamrochatavar600]

Is it possible to add more than one Range? For example, more than one column!

[@Meolimo]

love it thnks

[@Joel.guerrero]

Great Video! Question: I am using this for a 30-day Habit checker so I have 30 rows, not just one. It works fine for 1 row, but what can I do to make it uncheck for all 30 of my rows?

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Just use the right range in your code/

[@iconcept2750]

Hello. Tell me, please, how can I make it so that when you click on one checkbox, the other (specified) checkboxes are turned off. And when specifying another flag, other flags were also turned off, taking into account the first flag. For example, I need to select only one checkbox from the list of checkboxes for calculation. Thanks for the answer!

[@callumtravaglini6153]

Amazing video, thank you! Where is the code?

[@feroscyp8250]

cool

[@coleenhill19046]

I'm typing my code exactly as you have, but when I test the function, I get an error that says "Cannot read property 'getSheetByName' of null"

[@ShaneKimrey]

I followed your script to the letter and still have an error message that told me that GetRange wouldn't work and get null value. I have done everything you did and still can't get past his error. Can you help?

[@MiokiBeans]

happened to me too. tried it multiple times on clean sheets. has the code script been updated?

[@oOoScarecrow31oOo]

How to manage those check boxes in Google Docs ?

[@cameronharper1477]

Can this be done but instead of a range it just unchecks all boxes within the sheet? Stuck on how to get that to work

[@ImAlphaWolf]

how would i do it if i have horizontal boxes too ?

[@pichit.raetai]

Thank you, How to allow only 1 check in specific range?

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

You'll need to use onEdit function and have it uncheck all the other boxes. The issue with onEdit is that it runs really slowly and user experience is usually weird.

[@Zelpex]

Is there a way to automaticly run a script for example every Thursday? I want to untick every box on Thursday at 0:01 AM

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Yes, add a trigger support.google.com/docs/answer/7665004?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop

[@catdogorboth7087]

I'm currently making a list of parts for the game car mechanic simulator so when I'm playing I can just check the parts I need to buy then go ahead and buy them instead of going back and forth so I'm hoping this works for me, thanks!

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Good luck!

[@radinebranch7129]

IS THERE NO OTHER WAY TO PROGRAM IT WITHOUT CODING? I WAS HOPING FOR A WORK AROUND WITH EITHER CONDITIONING FORMST OR DATA VALIDATION

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Use spacebar.

[@heyomg9453]

I just wonder why I dont have the option of script editor on my google sheet 😮‍💨

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

It's under Extensions-Apps Script now.

[@ThienTran-xl4ey]

This is great, but it doesn't work with the Google Spread sheet app on the phone. I created a workout checklist and I was trying to figure out how to uncheck all with one tap. I did this and it worked on the PC , but when I tried it on the app it won't do anything other than giving you the option to delete the Image.

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Somebody mentioned doing this with a checkbox and onEdit trigger. That should work on your mobile app.

[@tanyarichey1742]

@@ExcelGoogleSheets I would love a video explaining how to exactly that. Hint. Hint.

[@raffkhokon2067]

How can you select multiple sheets?

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Select multiple sheets for?

[@apolovzla_ccs]

Did Google solve the delete problem with the select buttons? the check buttons could be deleted by the user.

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

No, why would they fix anything? :) You can still delete them.

[@apolovzla_ccs]

@@ExcelGoogleSheets It is annoying to do all the job to program the spreadsheet and in one second the user deletes all the checks list buttons, just because "he didn't know" 😒 Thanks a lot for your response and great videos pal 👍

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

To be honest, I don't think we can blame the user for this one :) I would think that hitting delete should uncheck the checkbox, not delete it.

[@apolovzla_ccs]

@@ExcelGoogleSheets totally true

[@tohin7719]

THANKS, THIS WAS AWSOME FOR BEGINNER LIKE ME. CAN I KNOW HOW TO UNCHECK OR CHECK ALL THE TICK BOX MORE THAN ONE TAB IN GOOGLE SHEET???

[@pagevpetty]

My 'Tools' is not showing a 'Script Editor' . Ok, it's in my 'Extensions'

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Yea, there was a change in user interface.

[@Snappy27893]

Instead of check box can we assign the value to a cell

[@GDubbleBubble]

Rather than creating your own button, is there a way to assign that script to another new checkbox? this will all you to just check or uncheck the checkbox for all the checkboxes.
