Is it possible to hide others details in Google Spread Sheet?
I've a Google Sheet, which I want to share to others. Whoever has the link to access can enter data into it.
Users A, B, C are supposed to enter the data.
But whatever user A entered should not be visible to users B, C and vice versa.
Only the owner can view the details entered by users A, B, C.
Is it possible, if so how?
This is not possible using only Google sheets.
However, you can create a Google form. Add questions using their interface, and get an url to a online form. Data entered into this form is inserted into a spreadsheet.

I'm trying to learn how to use Excel/VBA to automate as much of the below workflow as I can:
I receive an email from a manager notifying me that an employee has Covid. This initial notification is not standardized
I manually enter the information (employee name, their state, company, test date, test results, etc) into a spreadsheet. Sometimes certain cells information are left blank if they are not provided in #1
I REPLY ALL to original email. I use a template and edit based on the information I've entered into the spreadsheet (for instance, certain states have different guidelines) and attach PDFs depending on the company. I may also ask for missing information
My goal is to:
Be able to press a button in excel to draft an email body with information I've entered into spreadsheet. A combination of "mad lib" and "if this then that". If specific cells are blank, Id want the email to include what information i still need. I only send this specific email once, but I have to do it again every time there is a new Covid case.
My restrictions are:
Multiple people use this same workflow and spreadsheet, so ideally it would be simple for coworkers. I do not want excel to automatically send the email without the user reviewing it first.
I am very new to VBA, but am learning Python.
I cannot download anything on my work computer.
Thank you so much!
Can I copy a user from one column to another? Not the separated value, but the actual user. Right now, I can't copy USERs, only their strings.
I've built a conditional flow that currently copies the USER:EMAIL from either Column A (USER) or Column B (USER) to Column C (TEXT). But instead of just the EMAIL value, I want to copy the user, whole. That would allow me to AUTOMATE from the SP LIST instead of using Flow.
Found it. Must use the USER:EMAIL in the USER CLAIMS field in the Update Item section. Don't really understand why, other than the lookup is achieved via the email. Wish this were more obvious.
I am inexperienced with the Sharepoint.
Is it possible in Sharepoint to create a workflow that sends an email out for approval to only the manager of that user that added something to the custom list form.
For example, if A (regular employee) added something to list, B (manager) should get the email for approval. If B added something list, C (director) should get the email for approval and so on. But here is the thing, there are hundreds of A's, B's or C's. Like A1, B1, C1 or A2, B2, C2.
Right now, we can add people who approves, in serial or parallel form, that means either they all get the email at once or one after another. Which means when A7 submits something to the list - B1, B2.......Bn will get the email.
How will it know who is the mananger of A7.
Please let me know if it's achievable or it is out of the bounds of Sharepoint.
Any sought of help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
This is certainly possible with the the built-in workflow mechanics of SharePoint.
This is the so-called approval workflow. Microsoft has excellent documentation for this workflow and its implementation. See:

I have an Excel file that connects to our customer database. In there, I can break down the number of customers using a Pivot table. For instance, I would see that there are X female customers of age 18-25 who live in the US.
What I'd like to do now, is take this number X, turn it into a link that, when clicked, opens a web browser window to a web application which is also connected to the same customer database and does something with this specific customer segment (i.e. builds a contact file for a newsletter application etc.)
I have no idea how this can be done. I assume that it may be possible to add a custom button to the Excel toolbar which would extract all the current pivot table settings so that I can send them as URL parameters to my web app. Is this possible? If so, how is it done?
Can you help me in the right direction please?
Thx a lot!
No need to create buttons if you dont have to.
You can use the HYPERLINK() function and concatenate the URL out of text and cell values.
So for example the URL for this page in an excel cell would be:
=HYPERLINK("https://stackoverflow.com/questions/"&A1&"/excel-pivot-table-open-url-with-pivot-table-settings-as-parameter")
Where cell A1 = 18843796
18843796 being the id for this question. You can do this with as many parameters as you want.
This will create a clickable URL which will automatically open your default browser.
I am creating an XLS worksheet that would be used to collect data from the users. I have restricted the user input using validations. In order to easily be able to print the worksheet i have set the lenghts of the columns. Have made the relevant columns wrap.
However i would like to protect the worksheet such that
User is not allowed to
1. Change the format
2. Change the Validations
3. Change the column size
User should be allowed to
1. Enter input values
2. Select the value (from drop down whereever applicable)
The protect sheet always restricts user inputs.
The key is after you protect the sheet to use the interface exposed in "Allow Users To Edit Ranges". I'm going to assume you are using Office 2003 since you didn't specify, so you find it in Tools -> Protection -> Allow Users to Edit Ranges.From there it should be pretty obvious - you create named ranges and give edit access to users based on that.On the second issue of having users pick values from combo-boxes, you control that through Data -> Validation then create a Custom list.
Normally when you protect a sheet you get a dialog box which allows you to select what users can and can't do. If you select the right options you will be able to do what you want.
