I am making a macro to add a new block of columns for every day in a google sheet. One column is populated with checkboxes which will be clicked by a user to mark the task as complete.
However, I have encountered serious difficulty when trying to copy and paste a new column containing unchecked checkboxes. The checkboxes do not appear at all and are somehow not recorded in the macro.
I also couldn't find a way to conditionally uncheck or check all the checkboxes in a column at once e.g. by the formula =TRUE(A2:A50) to check them and =FALSE(A2:A50) to uncheck them as it is giving an error.
Am I missing something or have I found a flaw in Google Sheets' checkbox system?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I am unable to edit the labels for a set of checkboxes in my Excel file. The checkboxes were created using Form Controls (not ActiveX). I have been working with this file for many years and now suddenly cannot make any changes. I have tried editing them by clicking on Edit Text or by double clicking on the label itself. In both cases, the cursor does not activate. I also noticed that the font size of the text is smaller than in prior versions of the document, but the font size was never purposely changed.
On a separate note, the file also contains option buttons that do not always work. The button does not fill in when clicked on or there may be a delay. This is a new problem, too. I am not asking for help on this issue in this post but am providing it informationally in case it helps in determining what may be happening with the checkboxes. I appreciate any help.
So I have been struggling with a problem involving a ui-grid that I have implemented. We have a complicated search for a table where a user can search for IDs for employees and they can also search IDs for companies. There are textboxes corresponding to employee/company ID so the user knows where to start typing. Right now, I am conditionally swapping the column visibility based on where the user begins typing (employee ID hides company columns as an example). However, I need a way to also hide the company/employee rows because the columns are showing empty values and are displaying when the user has nothing in the search box.
Research: I am toggling the columns based on an answer I found where I am just changing column visibility, but it seems there is no row visibility option. However, the only row hiding functionality seems to be checking against a static value and in this case it needs to be dynamic.
I am considering just using two different grids and toggling visibility based on the search boxes typed in, but I was trying to see if I could use just one grid.
Any help would definitely be appreciated.
Objective:
This is data driven approach. I am trying to get data from sheet to be entered in table in a web application. Now in the table there are fields as below:
Textfield (To enter name), Datatype drop-down (To select data type), Length field(to enter the length), Status field (Isactive or not)
Now here there is a dynamic logic as for only “String” datatype the “Length” field would appear else in default table “Length” field/column is not shown because for other data types there is static length value provided.
Now when automating I am getting data in sequence from sheet and setting that in table. Switching over the fields is done by using “Tab” mechanism.
Issue:
The only issue in this whole process is that while selecting “String” data-type from drop-down and after that tab is applied. At this point the “Length” field is supposed to appear for which data can be entered from the sheet but here at only tabbing/loosing focus from one field to another is not revealing the hidden “Length” field.
And at this point automation gets stuck up. Manually selecting the drop-down shows the “Length” field but when same is done manually using tab, the “Length” field does not show up.
It would be of really great help if anyone can please suggest on above issue.
Hoping to hear soon from someone. Thanks for your efforts in advance.
Manually selecting the drop-down shows the “Length” field but when
same is done manually using tab, the “Length” field does not show up.
Seems selenium isn't setting focus to the same object/element that you are. How are you using selenium to tab between fields? Do you have to tab to this element, or can you have selenium select it directly? Also, it would help us if you shared the selenium code and html.
I currently have a MS Access database of members.
I have a form that has a combo box which is populated with just the first and last names of members. (using a test database for now)
What im struggling with is how do i create a button that opens another form i have created but using the selection in the dropdown box to populate the fields in the newly opened form.
When a user from the dropdown box is selected an open is clicked i want it to open the profile form populated with their details.

I can't access ftp site from work so can't see what you've got thus far however, the key bits you want to look at here are:
Add a button to the form and the On Click Event to open your profile form. Something along the lines of docmd.openform "frmProfile", acNormal
You need something to pass the member you've selected in the combo box to the profile form. One way might be to use OpenArgs so have a look at that
You then could use the passed variable in OpenArgs to select the data you want to fill out your profile form.
EDIT...
OK, I've had a look at the file now. Here is what you need to do to fix your problems (and a couple of extra bits which aren't causing an issue but will improve the look and feel).
On the Format of the Home form and the Member Search form, set Navigation Buttons and Record Selector to false. - This removes the unnecessary elements for a "single" form, you're not looking at records.
On the member search form, remove the binding to the members table. - You don't need to bind this form, as the recordsource of the combo is pulling the data required separately. if you look at your form before you change it, you'll notice you've got 1 of 10 records...
Also, remove the filter criteria and set filter on load to No - You were filtering the wrong form.
On the combo box, remove the after update event. - I'm not sure what that was trying to do but its completely unnecessary.
On the command button, add an onclick event which has the following code DoCmd.OpenForm "Profile", acNormal, , "ID = " & Me.Combo361 & ""
Save everything and enjoy. :)
You weren't far wrong with the filter, but it's actually a WHERE clause when opening another form - sorry, my bad misdirection. What you were doing was filtering the original form - ie the member search form. Also, you don't need to put ' quotes around the ID, it's a number not a string.
If you have problems I can probably host this fixed version somewhere for you to download.
This may be a simple quesiton but I need to ask to be sure I am in the correct direction. In the Item Fulfillment form for example, there is a first column Fulfill that is a checkbox. Above it there are buttons for Mark All and Unmark All as well. What I would like to do is have similar functionality on one of my other subtabs. I already have a custom child record that lives on my subtab and added a checkbox bool field to the record. I could get that to somewhat work but what I would like to know is
1- is that the correct approach.
2- does it need to be a field that is selected to be saved,
3- for their functionality this only appears in Edit mode. is that a limitation?
4- I notice their "checkbox field" is not as wide as the one I made
5- Is there a way that I would only get this "field" to appear in the record when it is in a sublist and not when it is in its own custom form to create a new item? I would only have it as a checkbox in a subtab.
Or is my approach wrong and perhaps there is an easier way to do it?
Thanks
1 - You can create a check box using inline HTML field - script the check box that way. Call a client script's function to handle the click.
2 - Not really sure what you're talking about - if you mean "Store Value" in the field definition, the answer is "No".
3 - Edit mode, yes. You can't change values of a field when not in edit mode.
4 - Width of a field can be controlled on the form design.
5 - Create 2 different forms. The data entry form would not include the check box, the sublist form would.
