This might be better than Conditional Formatting! We're using the onEdit() simple trigger in Apps Script..

Wanted to share with members this course outline I am using for my own course making process. I outlined the course then added a bunch of cool little stats to help see my progress and keep me on a certain pace of video creation. 

This is an attempt to create a waterfall effect in sheets. Where an AI response becomes the prompt in another ai API call.
I show you one way not to do it, that fails with onEdit() but then I do show one particular way it could work. We wrestle with AI a bit in this video and the conclusion is not so sweet.

Get the sheet below with the Apps Script and API code already written for you.

Walk through step-by-step going from a blank sheet to an AI powered prompt engineering cheat sheet of a spreadsheet.

Create a ChatGPT prompt inside a sheet, edit that prompt with a single input 100 times over. In this case we're creating a twitter thread prompt and replacing the topic 100 times. so you can use 1 prompt to run 100 ai calls, and then we go further

We make it better.

We add a checkbox and another prompt to take the output of the 1st prompt and run it again. And we can do that 100 times too. So each horizontal row can be it's own ChatGPT.

You can get the ai Apps Script in this video's sheet or in the sheet connected to the GPT-4 upgrade: https://bettersheets.co/tutorials/upgrade-google-sheets-openai-prompt-to-gpt-4

Jodi asked:  ab out Building a sales CRM spreadsheet that has 4-5 tabs at the bottom. Each sales person gets their own sheet and then I want a master spreadsheet that pulls each salespersons Information they enter (customer, job, status etc) into one place. 

I’m not sure how to get the master sheet to pull in from the other sheets as they enter the data so that the master sheet shows real-time what’s happening without making one row = a row from another sheet.  I just want it to come in one row after the next as it happens.

How to figure out a percentage score when our reporting numbers are a formatted in a particular way. In this case we have a score and then a slash and then the total possible score in a single cell. We go through each option of solution and try to derive a solution that is both useful in the exact situation and possibly useful for other problems too.

We find that the Query formula and other solutions are inflexible or time intensive. We want a solution that does actually solve the problem at hand, in a quick way, and also is easy to edit and flexible to solve other problems.

Create a little web app, or a tool inside of Google Sheets that can take any text input and give us the correct case we want. It can do Title Case or Sentence Case. It can do UPPER and lower case as well.

I added a little apps script to it that will check only one of the options. Check out the Radio Button Apps Script in another video.

Create a slug maker inside your sheet. We'll take any title with any case, even if it's wrong. Our sheet template will lower case the whole line, and replace any spaces with hyphens. This way we can enter any kind of title we want and get a hyperlink slug out for use in blogs or cataloging.

If you have a list of tasks and statuses, the FILTER formula will help keep you from the brink of Overload by allowing you see each status in a different tab.

A great alternative to Conditional Formatting as well.

And a sneaky new little Apps Script that saves the day.

In this tutorial I go from raw data to a full formed dashboard. In this particular case we're looking at the number of weeks someone might have left to live. A bit of stoic motivation, part baroque style. You'll see how I look for inspiration in the Memento Mori medallion and also in images representative of  "Memento Mori" then I use those colors in the images to make this dashboard.  

In addition to that we build an hour glass for the number of weeks we've lived and have left to live. This Hourglass of Life might be something you can incorporate into other kinds of dashboards. Don't be afraid to build visual representations of your data to easily see what's going on.
