Your series of videos are extremely useful. They are so simple and properly explained that the tips given by you can be used at other places. Questions: How can the user jump from one field to next without much hastle or using tab. How do you ensure that entry to a field is completed before a script is executed.

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

@How can the user jump from one field to next without much hastle or using tab. Don't really have a good solution for this. @How do you ensure that entry to a field is completed before a script is executed. You would need to validate everything in the script itself before actually making any changes to the spreadsheet.

Great video, as always. I wish we had the same functionality as Excel, when you protect one cell and set it in a way that the user cannot select it. This way the user could navigate only through the fields of the form. I've built great forms in Excel like this. When I try to do the same in Google Sheets, it just looks terrible...

Great instructions. I have a question..... How do you amend the Search Function to allow for multiple responses, getting the Form to move from each response to the next?

I need a way to move from one response to the next.

[@marros1445]

Wow what a great tutorial! It was just the thing I was looking for to help with a data entry solution for our staff at a non for profit organization. :-) I'm seriously stuck though and was wondering if you or anyone here had some ideas, as there are a couple of issues I'm wondering if there are solutions for? (1) I've created a button in the sheet via drawing and attached a script, but it's behavior is not like a regular UI button, there is no hover highlight or any feedback that it is working until the script processing message dialog pops up. The issue here is that I found myself clicking multiple times and executing multiple script calls :-( Is there a way to prevent multiple clicks - maybe present a dialog box saying the action was successful? Some workaround, maybe not using a button but some kind of dialog box or other trigger to "submit"/(call the script) the entry. 2) Also, it all works okay (except the multiple clicks) for ME, but this is for people in the organization to do their own data entry, and when I try the sheet from a share link, I get an error message after the script tries to run and stalls? Are there special permissions I need to setup for the worksheets, I'm not sure why it's happening? Here's the link: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tNBxkRFfuOhSycgZNX3Cv2xvUZOo4xadYfg457wS1x8/edit?usp=sharing Thanks in advance for taking a quick look!

[@mateobustamante6688]

Hello! Excellent video! I would like to set some required fields, how would you do that? Thank you very much!

[@MND22]

IFNA would’ve been better than an iferror for your search function in sheet 3, fundamentally they work the same since you have data validation but just figured I’d let you know

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Not sure I understand why it would be better, but sure, you could use IFNA.

[@MND22]

You would still want to get an error if you saved without including one of the date fields, such as the first, last, state, or age, IFNA would be better suited if the rows were empty, and not missing just one piece of info. You could use an iferror aswell in that cell to give a bool, and use a script to take that book and not allow the user to leave one field blank on the form

[@MND22]

If it’s not clear, message me personally, or share a copy of the google sheet with me and I’ll show you what I mean

[@ming.manangan]

for the last entry, if the user forgot to click to a different cell, the data wont be captured

[@harkelin]

Hi! Thank you for all of your amazing videos. With your help I've been able to build a system for keeping track of my entire brewing schedule! Now I am looking for a solution to automate and simplify the inpu of data in that same system and this is almost it! Instead of doing a form and populating the data with the push of a Save button, is there a way of doing it with an onEdit function? I am thinking of having a row for inputs at the top of a sheet and then when the last cell in the input-row is edited it sends all the data to another sheet and clears the cells used for the input. Maybe even to send the cursor back to the first cell for a new set of data inputs? If the onEdit triggers on the clear function that might set of a loop, but if it doesn't trigger this would be perfect for my system since I am trying to erase the need to use the mouse to click the button and at the same time speed up the inputs. I know this is a lot to ask from someone who has no obligation to help a stranger more than he has allready done by uploading the plethora of videos you've uploaded in the last couple of years but I thought it was worth a shot. And if nothing else I also got to thank you for your hard work! Best regards!

User may tick different Checkboxes for each row. > How do we get these multiple Checkboxes Boolean values from the different records and place these values into the Google Sheets and append to the new columns? I understand from your video the update is to edit for individual record. But my data just require checkboxes only to update Boolean values to the data and thus the use table format.
