automation for moving specific columns
To move specific column values from my source sheet to another sheet, I can't use a lookup formula because the entries in the source sheet are constantly changing and not permanently established. In my second sheet, a new row should always be added with values from certain columns from the source sheet. The row should be…

Edit cells with column formula
Is there a way to edit the cells where a column formula is used? I am trying to link information from 1 database to another via a INDEX MATCH formula, so we don't have to re-write info 2 times.

'Helper' Column Management via New Column Type (or Side Panel?)
Many of us, if not most, use one or more helper columns to achieve the Sheet functions that we need. Good practice is to hide the helper columns (when possible) so that the sheet user isn't bombarded with noise. Unfortunately, hidden columns still appear while in Card View. My solution for this is to move all of the helper…

Time Column
I noticed recently that the Time function has been added, it is greatly appreciated. However, with this new function it would be nice to have more robust support around it. I would love to see a new column format dedicated to time (kind of like the Date column). With that, allow a user on a form to select time from a clock…

How to link a column to a different sheet that auto populates when new rows are added?
I'm trying to do a workaround to adding multiple rows from the same form. I created a new sheet that has columns for requests 1-10. I want to pull certain columns from that sheet to move to a new sheet and then I can use a workflow to transfer that to my main sheet. I've created an ID column that autogenerates a number as…
