    For 9 years I have been coming back to your videos. I have been able to produce highly integrated spreadsheet system at my company, connecting inventory, shipping schedules, orders, and more from multiple departments. Completely eliminating a lot of copy paste data input, and employees needing to travel to various spreadsheets and tabs to get resources and info they are looking for. I am starting to actually learn to code, the base level understanding of how functions, work on spreadsheets really provided a good foundation for understanding logical operators and function structure, that I learned from your many other series.
    Now I am back again to learn from you how to apply scripts to spreadsheets, because thats what I am familiar with, in order to supplement my JavaScript learning.

      Hi! How do all these system work together? You export right? These videos are still up to date?

    • @Jeff-fc7nf
      @Jeff-fc7nf Před 5 měsíci

      @@jd5787 At my work, a small company, each department has their own spreadsheet for which they input data that relates to a different department. For example we have a sheet for sales order, which have customer data about the order and destination, which some is relevant to our shipment department, to which they add shipping details, which become relevant to the customer service section, all these can be simply tied in via VLOOKUP functions so that data input by one department on their sheet is updated on a different departments sheet. That was one of the first basic implementations I took from this channel. You just look at a task that someone does repetitively and then use these functions to automate that task. Before you know it, you have 10 different things automated.

    You have a God given talent to teach. Please continue your service like this. Someone has commented to plan your videos a bit better just because it took 7+ minutes to start writing the code. But, I feel that your way of starting from scratch is what we want and the casual way of explaining makes me feel like I'm in a regular lecture room.

    I can see the benefits of learning app scripts and you are helping me alot. Many thanks.
    I'm having a problem trying to send a google sheet to collaborators that have the rights to edit and share. The basic form goes through OK but the inputs both from data validations, input numbers are not showing up for collaborators when I run the script. I email it to others and to myself as a copy (delete the URL from Edit to Copy). I see all the info but the other collaborators only see the form layout with no inputs. It is a time card and my intent is to have the accountant just copy info then past into master sheet. From there it updates everything including charts, Pivot tables...lots of information breakdowns for government grants/audits.
    Maybe this would be a good tutorial? Being able to send data that is not a PDF so that only do a once copy and paste action would cut down lots of time. Again, many thanks and I'm retired helping out as a volunteer for a non-profit.

    Hi,
    Thanks for such a wonderful video. Your videos actually focus on creating script to work with excel just like vba macro in excel. There are many tutorial but they try to teach other than using app script on google sheet. I have one question that is bothering me is that in your video when you type the name of the object and then when you type period you get proper list of methods available for that object and it is pretty explanatory but recently Google has changed the interface so when you type period the list displayed is very confusing so how to get the list in old fashion any idea ??
