Great tips, Scott! Just a point on copying the QR codes. If you copy and paste this QR code, you'll be pasting the formula, which would be taking the values from a different relative cell and therefore generate a different QR code. You would need to right-click, Paste Special, Paste Values Only. Then you get the exact copy of the original QR code you created.

LEFT(A2,FIND(" ",A2)-1), Get the first word from a string. EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)+1, First day of a month. EOMONTH(C2,0), last day of month. Seems I'm using these more as I get skilled more with Google Sheets. Nice tutorial, Thanks! Oh, and I keep a list of formulas/functions/app scripts I use often. Good idea for other users of Sheets to keep.
This is great! Just don’t forget to copy- Paste values before deleting the source column! Trim seems more powerful in Google Sheets than the last time I used it in Excel - it didn’t read the extra spaces between words. Sometimes, data cleaning takes longer than actually using or analyzing data!
Lately, In google sheets, I have been putting functions in array formulas to avoid dragging down cells whenever I add new data. I like the sparkling, the QR code, and the trim functions that I learned in this video.
You can use the IMPORTRANGE function to copy an entire sheet You can combine IMPORTRANGE with the ADDRESS function to pick a specific call. There are a whole host of IMPORT functions built into Sheets that are very nifty and useful.
FYI, you can double click the bottom right dark square of your first square. This fills in formulas for you for every cell to the left. You would do this instead of dragging down to fill in the formulas
I learned so much from this video that I can apply right now in marketing and running my business. Thanks so much for the great tips. Keep 'em coming! I like to find free ways to increase productivity and efficiency so I can use them myself and help others by sharing.
Thanks for sharing. Other favorites from my list (and reflexing at this moment) Combination of Filter with Sum countA, importrange, substitute, iferror+arrayformula+vlookup Keep Sharing. 👍
Thanks for some cool tips. I love the array formulas. You have to edit your traditional formulas to work with it but it really streamlines your sheets and helps then run more efficiently and it works with most your other formulas. Eg. On the Trim formula you would need to show "how" to expand it by including the colum: =trim(A2) becomes =arrayformula(trim(A$2:A))
The QR code is interesting. Sometimes I screenshare with someone in a skype and it would be great if I showed her a sheet with links in it and she could just aim her phone at her screen and load the page. This is wonderful! Thank you!
Great information. Would love to get a bullet point in your description of what each point is and where it is on the timeline. I don't have time for the whole 12 minutes, but can quickly grab what value I need and move on. Good for me, good for you, good for all. :) Thanks for putting this together. Grabbed 2 tips and put them into my work flow.
i think =ARRAYFORMULA if the most usefull, never have to pull the formula down, have formula in a single cell affect all cells bellow automatically, and it's easy to convert most formulas to an ARRAYFORMULA: instead of referencing A2 for example, reference the range A2:A when inside a ARRAYFORMULA function and it will work. Just don't forget to check if the cell is not empty first, or it will process all cells unnecessarily and fill the cells with garbage =ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A2:A"",TRIM(A2:A),"")) this will check if there's data on anything down starting A2 and apply TRIM to it (formula must be pasted at line 2 because we specified A2 as the starting point) or you could do it like this (even better) ={"TRIMMED",ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A2:A"",TRIM(A2:A),""))} ={"HEADER",ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A2:A"",FORMULA(),"Value if input at column A (A2:A) empty")) to have if at line 1, so it becomes the column header for your data AND your formula logic for that entire column, this is how i always make my formulas 👀 Also, didn't know there was a =IMAGE function, but i did know about the charts API for generating QRcodes
You gotta love that pure white-bread pronunciation of Jimenez at 10:09 -- "Jim in nez" LOL. I'm not even Hispanic & I know that it's pronounced "He men es"
I am just now figuring out the many different ways I can look at my data in sheets. 2 of the most handy things I have found is the 'Explore' button in the lower left corner which will do like 5 different functions with highlighted cells and will make charts off of suggested data. The other is filter view for sorting and cleaning up data. I can conditionally highlight things and then use filter view to sort the data in a way that tells me stuff or so that I can move it because I don't know how to use more advanced lookup or query functions yet.
I often use the "concatenate" formula to add certain characters and spaces necessary to email addresses that follow certain conventions in order to be able to copy/paste them for mass emailing purposes to my entire faculty.
Could you help me? I would like to input a time in minutes and seconds, and have it display in just seconds for printing. For example if I type in 0:10:06 or 10.6 (as in 10min 6seconds) I want 606 to be displayed in that cell. If yes, could you also do this with hours?
I'm a big user of query functions. Making a query based on drop-down dependent lists is neat. Creating your owns formulas in GAS is so powerful as well. Love hopping in and typing something up that I need.
Great tips! I am trying to figure out how to quickly make a column of dates with a range of one week. I am paid weekly on a contract delivery job and need to be able to record my tips and mileage in my own spreadsheet. Entering the weekly dates manually is a giant pain, hope there are some quick functions for that. Thank you so much for your help
Brent Gifford I think I might not have explained very well. I’m trying to make a column that looks like this: 12/02/19-12/08/19 12/09/19-12/15/19 ... As you might imagine entering all those dates manually is a big pain. I’m pretty sure entering a date and dragging down in the corner would just make a column of the same dates.
Here is the formula you will need to use for Tip #4 (QR Code). Just remember to replace 'A1' with the cell you want to reference:
=IMAGE("chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=200x200&cht=qr&chl="&A1&"")

Wow these just keep getting better. Way to go Scott
So glad that you are enjoying my videos, Richard. Thanks for watching!
Sparkline trick is insane!
Glad you liked that one.
very cool. please continue expanding on this. You might get into how to connect sheets and specific cells of specific sheets.
Great suggestions. Thanks for adding!
You can use the IMPORTRANGE function to copy an entire sheet
You can combine IMPORTRANGE with the ADDRESS function to pick a specific call.
There are a whole host of IMPORT functions built into Sheets that are very nifty and useful.
I've already have done this.
Use "define range" and "IMPORTRANGE"
Amazing tips! One of the reasons I don't use Google sheets as much as Excel as because I don't know all of its functions. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed this one!

this will check if there's data on anything down starting A2 and apply TRIM to it (formula must be pasted at line 2 because we specified A2 as the starting point)
or you could do it like this (even better)
={"TRIMMED",ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A2:A"",TRIM(A2:A),""))}
={"HEADER",ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A2:A"",FORMULA(),"Value if input at column A (A2:A) empty"))
to have if at line 1, so it becomes the column header for your data AND your formula logic for that entire column, this is how i always make my formulas 👀

Love these tips!!! Is there a function that will split a first and last names into separate columns?
SPLIT is the command. Can be a little tricky. This gentlemen explains things so clearly. I would appreciate his explanation.
You can try to separate into columns similar to the option in Excel.
Ya using the split function in the data section is one way to do it. Using the split function on the space will separate the first and last name.
I would use a combination of proper, trim and split: eg =split(proper(trim(A3), " ")
This tips are awesome. I use a lot Select, If and Vlookup functions
Wooot, it saves a lot of effort
Tip 4 is definitely my favorite as well. Would you know how to do it for internet access and password
Trim function is amazing
