I Want to Hack

Validate Your Data - Multiple Selections with Apps Script

Hi there! Thanks for listening, I Want to Hack is a weekly discussion of coding and spreadsheet concepts. I hope you'll subscribe to follow along! Links at the bottom, but if you do nothing else, would you consider subscribing to my YouTube channel where I share spreadsheet and coding tutorials? 😉 I'm hoping to grow this to 1000 subscribers this year!

Episode Overview:

We walk through how to create an Apps Script code to have multiple selection capabilities in the data validation drop down menus in Google Sheets. This isn't available out of the box, but I came across a great solution originally coded by Alexander Ivanov and applied it to my own sheets.

The links to my video walkthrough and the Google Sheet we're using are available below.

Please subscribe to this podcast if you haven't already! I really appreciate it, and look forward to talking with you on the next pod!
