I am using google-sheet-api for my project and it totally works fine most of the time. But at times it behaves differently. Last time I encountered with a problem that some of cells filled by my data which I am not intend to. It randomly picked one of the values from my data and filled up other cells in my row. So my question is , Is this something with on my side or google-sheets-api issues ??
Used code:
const writeReq = await sheets.spreadsheets.values.append({
spreadsheetId:id, range:'range', valueInputOption:"USER_ENTERED",
resource:{
values:[
["data1", "data2", "data3", "data4", "data5", "data6", "data7", "data8"],
]
}
})
It's a bug
Issues with spreadsheets.values.append appending values at the wrong location in the sheet are already know and reported on Google's Issue Tracker - see API values.append sometimes adds row not where it supposed to and Sheets V4 does not provide any suitable append operation
What you can do is "star" the issues to increase visibility, so that hopefully the issue will be fixed soon

I'm using jQuery and tabulator to create a fairly simple webpage showing the progress of various live events. I have three table elements on the page showing events in different states. Broadly speaking I have a table for events that are 'Live', 'Finished' and 'Upcoming'.
The tabulator code for each table looks a bit like this:
var eventTable = {
layout:"fitColumns",
columns:[
{title:"Event ID", field:"eventID"},
{title:"Event name", field:"eventName"},
{title:"Event status", field:"eventStatus"}
]
};
I can then generate and populate the tables using data retrieved from the server using an AJAX call:
$('#live-events-table').tabulator(eventTable);
$('#live-events-table').tabulator("setData", "/cgi-bin/getevents.py");
$('#live-events-table').tabulator("setFilter", "status", "in", ["intermission", "mid-event"]);
Then similar code for the finished and upcoming tables.
This creates three requests for getevents.py every time the page is updated. This is undesirable because the data is pulled from another API and I want to avoid sending multiple identical requests. Also, there's a (small) chance the data could change between requests.
Is there a way of using the same data to populate all three tables?
Learnt something today. Never heard of Tabulator. I've been using DataTables for this sort of advanced tabular layout in the form of a jQuery plugin. Tabulator looks promising. Will have to explore more in the future.
In the docs I see Tabulator - Set Table Data, lots of alternative options available to set the data.
Hope I am understanding the problem correctly.
My thoughts/flow for tacking this problem would be:
Assuming your doing this already: Prep server side (getevents.py) needs to return all 'Live', 'Finished' and 'Upcoming' rows in JSON together in 1 response. How do I make a JSON object with multiple arrays?.
Client side on doc ready(), makes a jQuery ajax call to fetch this data before 3 x tabulators are built/called.
You can use a loading indicator. So the client sees something is happening in the 3 x before replaced by jQuery tabulator once the data is returned and you built with tabulator.
In the ajax success callback function you can iterate over the returned json object (containing the 3 x eventTypes). You might have to JSON.parse() if you store it in a JavaScript variable to iterate over.
Now get your specific array of event types nested objects arrays/json.
Then call your tabulator creation methods using the setData pointing to each specific JavaScript array containing the relevant data.
Not sure if this falls under "premature optimization", but I would proceed as the problem itself is rather fun to solve, but you know the requirements/needs better than I.
Good luck.
I fixed this fairly simply, using suggestions from #RoryGS.
Define the table options in a variable, as before:
var eventTable = {
layout:"fitColumns",
columns:[
{title:"Event ID", field:"eventID"},
{title:"Event name", field:"eventName"},
{title:"Event status", field:"eventStatus"}
]
};
Then make a jQuery ajax call to fetch the data, and build the table(s) in the success option of the function:
$(function() {
$.ajax({
dataType: "json",
url: "/cgi-bin/getevents.py",
success: function(data, status){
$('#live-events-table').tabulator(eventTable);
$('#finished-events-table').tabulator(eventTable);
$('#live-events-table').tabulator("setData", data);
$('#live-events-table').tabulator("setFilter", "status", "in", ["intermission", "mid-event"]);
$('#finished-events-table').tabulator("setData", data);
$('#finished-events-table').tabulator("setFilter", "status", "in", ["post-event"]);
}
})})
It seems to be necessary to set the data individually for each table. I would like to specify the data in the constructor, but this doesn't seem to work. I will continue to try to refine this.
If you are getting the data from a URL you can pass it into the ajaxURL property in the table constructor and tabulator will make the request for you:
$("#example-table").tabulator({
ajaxURL:"/cgi-bin/getevents.pyw", //ajax URL
columns:[...] //define columns etc
});
I'm accessing the Facebook Graph API for posts and am trying to figure out the pagination handling. I understand the use of paging.next and paging.previous properties of the results but I'd like to know when there are actually previous results. Particularly, when I make the first 'posts' call, I get back a paging.previous url even though there are no previous values. Upon calling that url I get a response with no results.
For example, calling "168073773388372/posts?limit=2" returns the following:
{
"data": [
{
"story": "Verticalmotion test added a new photo.",
"created_time": "2015-12-02T17:04:56+0000",
"id": "168073773388372_442952469233833"
},
{
"message": "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD2Rdeo8vuE",
"created_time": "2013-12-16T23:19:30+0000",
"id": "168073773388372_184840215045061"
}
],
"paging": {
"previous": "https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/168073773388372/posts?limit=2&format=json&since=1449075896&access_token=****&__paging_token=enc_AdA69SApv4VoBZB0PPZA7W5EivCYQal8KMFmRNkyhr8ZBk4w0YmFEQUJWV3JZBS70ihyMpbqieQaERhY50enqNCMBuIZATadeopYj8xPvQL7Y8KueaQZDZD&__previous=1",
"next": "https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/168073773388372/posts?limit=2&format=json&access_token=****&until=1387235970&__paging_token=enc_AdAVMaUlPmpxjBmq5ZClVdNpFp7f9MyMFWjE7ygqsMLW7zvSx3eGHLkfwDxdCx0uO3ooAZCKDmCwMWHZA9RNyxkYUPJyjMtO3kynKm5uF2PhoPZB2gZDZD"
}
}
How can I tell if it's the first set of results?
From tidbits scattered around the documentation and web, it seems like the previous url shouldn't be there.
I don't think it matters because I get the same results in the Graph Explorer but I'm using OpenFB to access the API.
You can set the order to be reverse then get the 1st result
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api
Ordering
You can order certain data sets chronologically. For example you may sort a photo's comments in reverse chronological order using the key reverse_chronological:
GET graph.facebook.com
/{photo-id}?
fields=comments.order(reverse_chronological)
order must be one of the following values:
*chronological*
*reverse_chronological*
I've been using NeDB as a persistent data storage model in my Electron/Angular application. The setup of this data works perfectly for the main purpose of my application. I show everything from table "0" and when the use clicks on an options it takes them to all items from table "1" that have a "foreign" that matches the "key" from the selected item from table "0". Like any other 1:n relational data.
I want to display the objects in an accordion like fashion for my users to be able to interact with the relationships. I want to be able to do this recursively, but cannot seem to wrap my head around it.
A chunk from my flat JSON file is this:
{"_id":"000000","type":"dc","table":"0","key":"A","cat":"CAD Assessment","foreign":"A"}
{"_id":"000002","type":"dc","table":"1","key":"1","cat":"Coronary angiography with or without left heart catheterization and left ventriculography","foreign":"A"}
{"_id":"000005","type":"dc","table":"2","key":"1.1","cat":"Suspected or known ACS","foreign":"1"}
{"_id":"000006","type":"dc","table":"2","key":"1.2","cat":"Suspected CAD: No prior noninvasive stress imaging (no prior PCI, CABG, or angiogram showing >=50% angiographic stenosis)","foreign":"1"}
And I want it to look like this:
{
"_id":"000000",
"type":"dc",
"table":"0",
"key":"A",
"cat":"CAD Assessment",
"foreign": [
{
"_id":"000002",
"type":"dc",
"table":"1",
"key":"1",
"cat":"Coronary angiography with or without left heart catheterization and left ventriculography"
"foreign": [
{
"_id":"000005",
"type":"dc",
"table":"2",
"key":"1.1",
"cat":"Suspected or known ACS",
"foreign":"1"
},
{
"_id":"000006",
"type":"dc",
"table":"2",
"key":"1.2",
"cat":"Suspected CAD: No prior noninvasive stress imaging (no prior PCI, CABG, or angiogram showing >=50% angiographic stenosis)",
"foreign":"1"
}
]
}
]
}
Is this even a possible thing? I'm hoping somebody with a lot more experience can point me in the right direction here. I'm ready to stop banging my head against the wall.
I am trying to create a Flot pie chart with a link in each wedge, so I can direct users to the appropriate details page on clicking.
There is already a similar post at With flot, how can I create a linked pie chart that takes you to other web pages?. I tried the answer on that page with with Flot 0.7 to obtain pie wedges with hyperlinked labels. However, series.URL returns "undefined" in the labelFormatter function. How do I resolve this issue?
On a side note: Its my first time posting here. I tried to ask this obviously related question at the link above so I don't create a new question for the same issue. However, it was deleted by the moderator. Wouldn't it have helped other users reading that post who suffered from the same issue to find a resolution? Not complaining, just trying to understand the rationale (have read the FAQs/Guidelines for asking questions..) behind the deletion.
If you follow the code in your linked question, they get quite close to what you want. The problem (which trips up many people) is that the item in the plotclick function is not the same as the series object in your raw data. What you can do though, is refer back to your raw data using item.seriesIndex in plotclick:
//setup options
//setup data
var data = [
{
label: "Serie1",
data: 10,
url: "http://stackoverflow.com"},
...
];
//call plot
//setup plotclick
$("#placeholder").bind("plotclick", function (event, pos, item) {
alert(data[item.seriesIndex].url);
});
I don't have it following the link, but that should be easy for you to do.

Side note answer: Generally they would prefer you ask a new question instead of piling into an old question with new sub-questions. Especially in an "answered" question (I put answered in quotes because it doesn't seem that they came to a full answer, so I can see your confusion).
I hope I am describing my issue enough.. here goes:
I have a YUI data table, get a server side set of records via JSON, and then populates the data.
Users can click on the headers to sort the data in three of the 6 columns, (which are using a custom sort function for each column). The sorting is done client-side.
When a user sorts the data, I need to be able to get a complete list of the values from one of the columns being shown. I need all the data available, not just what's rendered to the page. The data hidden via pagination must be included.
Any ideas? I've tried the handleDataReturnPayload and doBeforeLoadData methods of the DataTable but both give the original, unsorted data.
I'm really stuck here and I've got a client depending on a feature that depends on me getting this sorted list.
Thanks in advance.
Satyam, over at the YUI Forums answered my question perfectly.
The data is actually stored in the
RecordSet. At any time you can go and
look at it, and it will be sorted as
shown on the screen, but it will have
all the data, whether shown or not.
Method getRecordset() will give you a
reference to it and then you can loop
through its records.
You can listen to the columnSortEvent
to be notified a sort has occurred.
I just subscribed to the columnSortEvent event and looped through the array returned by datatable.getRecordSet().getRecords().
I'd recommend posting this to the YUI forums -- http://yuilibrary.com/forum/ -- that's a great place to get support on DataTable issues.
I stumbled upon this question looking for information on how to retrieve information from a dataset that was NOT displayed in the datatable. IF you place the hidden data in the datasource before any field you wish to be displayed, it will be rendered blank, but if you place it after your last field that will be rendered (as defined by the columns object), then they will not render but still be accessible through the record).
var columns = [
{key:"Whatchamacallits", children:[
{key:"name" },
{key:"price" }
]}
];
var ds = new YAHOO.util.DataSource('index.php...');
oDataSource.responseType = YAHOO.util.DataSource.TYPE_JSARRAY;
oDataSource.responseSchema = {
fields:["name","price","id"]
};
var dt = new YAHOO.widget.DataTable("dt-id", columns, ds, {});
dt.subscribe("rowClickEvent", dt.onEventSelectRow);
dt.subscribe("rowSelectEvent", function(p){ alert(p.getData('id'); });
