I thought it might be helpful to have a thread where we swap tips and tricks.
Someone in the forum has a progress thread for a YouTube channel about Google Sheets. I'll link to that when I find it.
A handy wee tip:
A couple of useful new Google Sheets functions I learned over the last two weeks:
I've used these two functions to extract data from a master "agency" sheet into separate "client" sheets where only their data is pulled through.
Here's an example where I could put this formula into a cell in the client sheet and pull over CallRail data:
You can just use query() on it's own and pull back data from another tab in the current sheet (useful when you want to hide some columns or rows from other users).
Here I'm selecting various columns by their letter:
=query('Imported Calls'!A:AF, "select K, L, E, M, N, P, Q, AE where D='Y'")
EDIT: Added "Excel" to the title.
