<p>Thanks for the suggestions. Excel On-Line doesn't allow macros and has some other limits to functionality that might preclude its use. I will look into forms, though I will need to be able to load previous data as well as look at and enter this week's.</p>
<p>Still looking to see whether anyone has run into Google Sheets quirks that can cause this behavior. I don't like to be blaming my clients unless I am clear that they are causing the problem. Usually, I can educate them, but this particular one is hard--if they are causing the problem, they are not aware of it and so it is hard to suggest modifications to their behavior.</p>

<div>Provided they are familiar with Excel (and sharing and formulas...etc). In my experience, people can mess those up pretty well too!</div>

<p>One last piece of info: she and most of her office are on Macs, if that makes a difference. I do not think she knows about keyboard shortcuts, but could be inadvertently using them.</p>

<p>A question for the group.</p>
<p>I have created a series of Google Sheets spreadsheets for a client. Her employees each fill out a timesheet, all of which are linked to a roll-up document that summarizes each week's payroll, etc. Each employee is linked to a separate sheet in the rollup sheet, which then uses some other sheets to summarize the payroll info. In my testing, these all work as designed all of the time.</p>
<p>Over the past 3 months, I have had a number of issues where the formulas in the roll up sheets become disorganized. A link to F4 will turn into F187. I solved those problems by using Absolute values (e.g. $F$4) and they do not seem to have reoccured. i have protected some ranges, but since she is the owner, she can override the protection.</p>
<p>This past week, two cells were overwritten by what looks like text from another part of the sheet (i.e., F4 and F15 were overwritten by text in F3 and F4). I do have a couple of scripts, but they simply copy the same named range each week and paste it as values on another sheet.</p>
<p>My client si not very computer literate and is very awkward in using computers. I am attributing her problems to her inadvertent copy and pasting or moving cells since I cannot find any code or other way of making these changes except by a copy or move and paste or something similar.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have these problems or any suggestions? I could do this in Excel with complete confidence that I can protect against any inadvertent changes, but Google Sheets is another beast entirely. We need to use Sheets because her office is distributed and everyone is on-line and not on a LAN.</p>
<p>Any suggestions would be appreciated.</p>
