How to Format Non-Blank Cells in Google Sheets

Google Sheets

I recently worked on a spreadsheet with a table that was populated using the filter function. This meant that I did not know how many rows would be included in my table: It would dynamically update as the source data changed. I wanted to apply some formatting to the table so that it would look better than straight text. I achieved this by applying conditional formatting to all the cells that could be included in the table. The conditional formatting was set to shade the cells that were not blank to make my table look more cohesive. This tutorial explains how to format cells that are not blank when using Google Sheets.

How to Use Google Sheets Unique Function

The Unique function in Google Sheets makes it simple to create a list of only unique values from another list. One of the most useful aspects of the Unique function is that you type the formula into one cell, and it will fill in the cells beneath it with all the unique values in the range you specified. Interestingly, the formula only exists in the top cell. There is no need to copy down the formula or anything else. Just make sure that you have adequate blank cells adjacent to where you type the formula for all the items in the list. This tutorial contains the steps you need to use the Unique function in Google Sheets.
