Good Day! I would like the Purchase Order ID repeated upon submission of a form in an earlier sheet. My current code however repeats this throughout the length of data range. Can I get help in modifying the code or loop/if statement below? Thank you in advance.
function exportPO() {
var myGooglSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var shSource = myGooglSheet.getSheetByName("Source");
var shDatabase = myGooglSheet.getSheetByName("Database");
var lastRow = shDatabase.getLastRow()
var ProductValues = shSource.getRange("B5:C14").getValues();
shDatabase.getRange(lastRow+1,2,ProductValues.length,2).setValues(ProductValues);
var PO = shSource.getRange("C1").getValues();
var lines = 0;
var ProductRow = ProductValues.length;
for(var i=0; i<ProductRow; i++)
if (ProductValues!=''){
lines= lines+1;
shDatabase.getRange(lastRow+lines,1).setValues(PO);
shDatabase.getRange(lastRow+lines,4).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('yyyy-mm-
dd h:mm'); //Submitted On
In relation to
var ProductValues = shSource.getRange("B5:C14").getValues();
The above line assigns a Array of Arrays to ProductValues
In relation to
ProductValues!=''
The above expression always will return false. You might change this to ProductValues[i].every(value => value != '') to compare all the values in a row to an empty string, if all are not a empty string, this will return true, otherwise false, or change the original expression to something like ProductValues[i][0]!='' to compare on value of each row to an empty string, the first index corresponds to the row, the second to the column.

I'm trying to automate hyperlink creations on my GSheet.
Here's my script:
function ticketURLGenerator() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Data");
var range = sheet.getRange("C2:C");
var ticketID = range.getValue();
Logger.log(ticketID);
for(i = 0; i < ticketID.length; i++){
if(ticketID.length === 0){
ticketID.setValue('')
} else if(ticketID.length > 4){
ticketID.setValue('=HYPERLINK' + '("https://mylink.com/'+ticketID+'";'+ticketID+')');
}
}
}
It does nothing but when I change ticketID.setValue by sheet.getRange("C2:C").setValue it put the whole range in the url. We can see with Logger.log(ticketID) that the whole range is selected.
So according to this result, i'm missing how to get the value of each cell individualy in the range and then check if they are long enought to create an individual url. Do I need to use something like range[i] somewhere? I'm lost.
I believe your goal as follows.
You want to retrieve the values from the cells "C2:C".
When the length of value is more than 4, you want to create a formula of HYPERLINK.
When the length of value is less than 4, you don't want to put the formula.
You want to put the formulas to the cells "C2:C".
Modification points:
When range of var range = sheet.getRange("C2:C") is used, the value of var ticketID = range.getValue() is the value of cell "C2". When you want to retrieve values from the cells "C2:C", please use getValues instead of getValue.
In this case, the retrieved value is 2 dimensional array.
When range.getValue() is the string value, ticketID of var ticketID = range.getValue() is also the string. So I think that when ticketID.setValue('##') is run, an error occurs.
In your script, setValue is used in a loop. In this case, the process cost will become high.
And, when sheet.getRange("C2:C" + sheet.getLastRow()) is used instead of sheet.getRange("C2:C"), the process cost will become low a little.
When above points are reflected to your script, it becomes as follows.
Modified script:
function ticketURLGenerator() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Data");
var range = sheet.getRange("C2:C" + sheet.getLastRow());
var ticketIDs = range.getValues();
var values = ticketIDs.map(([c]) => [c.toString().length > 4 ? `=HYPERLINK("https://mylink.com/${c}";"${c}")` : c]);
range.setValues(values);
}
In this modification, the values are retrieved from the cells of "C2:C" + sheet.getLastRow(), and an array including the formulas and values is created, and then, the array is put to the cells.
And I used the template literal for creating the formula.
Note:
In this case, please use this script with enabling V8 runtime.

getValues()

You just need to apply the HYPERLINK operation to the tickets that their length is more than 4. To achieve that, you can use map() to iterate over all the elements in your list.
Solution:
function ticketURLGenerator() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
const sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Data");
const ticketR = sheet.getRange("C2:C"+sheet.getLastRow());
const ticketIDs = ticketR.getDisplayValues().flat();
const hLinks = ticketIDs.map(ti=>{
if(ti.length>4) {
return [`=HYPERLINK("https://mylink.com/${ti}"; ${ti})`]}
else {return [ti]}
})
ticketR.setValues(hLinks);
}
Update: I need to check if a unique value is already in the pasteTab's appropriate column. My code for that is --
for (a = 0; a<coldChainRange.length;a++){
var fillWeeks = coldChainRange[a][12]
**var rxNumbers = coldChainRange[a][0]**
var pasteTab = ss.getSheetByName(fillWeeks)
//var range = pasteTab.getRange('A2:P'+pasteTab.getLastRow()).getDisplayValues()
**var array = [];
array.push(rxNumbers)**
Logger.log(array)
//Logger.log(fillWeeks)
if(fillWeeks != "Need Days Supply"){
if (pasteTab !== null && **array.indexOf(pasteTab[a][0]==-1**)){
var patientInfo = ([coldChainRange[a][0],coldChainRange[a][1],coldChainRange[a][2],coldChainRange[a][3],coldChainRange[a][4],
coldChainRange[a][5],coldChainRange[a][6],coldChainRange[a][7],coldChainRange[a][8],coldChainRange[a][9],
coldChainRange[a][10],coldChainRange[a][11],coldChainRange[a][12],coldChainRange[a][13],coldChainRange[a][14]])
pasteTab.appendRow(patientInfo)
}
}
}
}
I need to have the info not be appended if a number is already in the column, however I think the loop is iterating the length of the "pasteTab" which is determined by a week number which is two characters long
How can I create a loop that will go read JSON.stringifed values?
I am trying to loop through cell values to determine where the information should be appended to. For example, if a cell had a value of "23" it would be appended to the 23 tab.
function sendToFillWeek() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var coldChainPasteSheet = ss.getSheetByName('from looker')
var coldChainRange = coldChainPasteSheet.getRange('A2:P' + coldChainPasteSheet.getLastRow()).getDisplayValues()
for (a = 0; a<coldChainRange.length;a++){
var fillWeeks = JSON.stringify(coldChainRange[a][12])
var pasteTab = ss.getSheetByName(fillWeeks)
Logger.log(pasteTab)
}}
This is my code so far for determining the appropriate sheet. The fillWeeks produces the values I need, however the pasteTab outputs all "null" values.
for(b=0; b<fillWeeks.length;b++){
(if fillWeeks !== "Need Day Supply" ){
var patientInfo = ([coldChainRange[a][0],coldChainRange[a][1],coldChainRange[a][2],coldChainRange[a][3],coldChainRange[a][4],
coldChainRange[a][5],coldChainRange[a][6],coldChainRange[a][7],coldChainRange[a][8],coldChainRange[a][9],
coldChainRange[a][10],coldChainRange[a][11],coldChainRange[a][12],coldChainRange[a][13],coldChainRange[a][14],
coldChainRange[a][15]])
pasteTab.appendRow(patientInfo)
}
}
}
}
Essentially, I would like the information to be appended the appropriate tabs.
So Im have 2 columns in google spreadsheet, A and B, and I want to compare them row by row (A1 to B1, A2 to B2, etc), and finally count the number of cells that has the exact same value (can be a string or integer, but have to be identical) and put it in another cell, D1 for example. This is what I got so far, but it doesnt seem to do anything, and doesnt return any error either.
function compare() {
var sss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var ss = sss.getSheetByName('theSheetINeed');
var range1 = ss.getRange('A1:A'); //the first column
var data1 = range1.getValues();
var range2 = ss.getRange('B2:B'); //the second column
var data2 = range2.getValues();
var count = []; //to count the number of match
for(var i =0;i 'smaller than' data1.length; i++){ //somehow i cant use '<'
var abc = data1[i];
var def = data2[i];
if(abc == def){
count += count;
};
};
ss.getRange('D1').setValue(count.length);
}
Edit: so my code actually does something, it returns 0 everytime...
Modification points :
Values retrieved by getValues() are 2 dimensional array.
count is defined as an array. But it is not used as array.
i 'smaller than' data1.length is i<data1.length.
Starting row for column A and B are 1, 2, respectively.
Cells without values are included. So when such cells each other are compared, the values become the same. (If you want to compare such cells, please remove && abc && def from following script.)
Modified script :
Your script can be written by modifying above points as follows.
function compare() {
var sss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var ss = sss.getSheetByName('theSheetINeed');
var range1 = ss.getRange('A1:A'); //the first column
var data1 = range1.getValues();
var range2 = ss.getRange('B2:B'); //the second column
var data2 = range2.getValues();
var count = []; //to count the number of match
for(var i=0; i<data1.length-1; i++){ //somehow i cant use '<'
var abc = data1[i][0];
var def = data2[i][0];
if(abc == def && abc && def){
count.push(abc);
};
};
ss.getRange('D1').setValue(count.length);
}
If I misunderstand your question, I'm sorry.
An alternative to an Apps Script needing to run in the background you can do this with out-of-the-box formulas, and therefore the result is live
=SUM(
QUERY(
FILTER(A1:B,A1:A<>"",A1:A<>0),
"Select count(Col1)
Where Col1=Col2
Group By Col1
Label count(Col1) ''"
,0)
)
The advantage of formula based solutions is that they are more visible, and anyone following you can be sure the answer is correct without knowing they have to run a script to achieve this.
Breaking the formula down and starting in the middle:
FILTER(A1:B, A1:A<>"", A1:A<>0)
this returns all the rows where there is a non-empty cell. I do this because QUERY can be misleading with finding blank cells
"Select count(Col1)
Where Col1=Col2
Group By Col1
Label count(Col1) ''"
This does the comparisons you asked for and returns a count for each of the values in A that have a match in B. The Select here uses Col1 instead of A because the FILTER returns an Array not a
Range.
From then the SUM adds up each of those totals.
I am trying to loop through the whole row in my google sheet and copy some of the data from one sheet to another. The list will get longer over time.
More specifically: If input in column B equals "blue", than copy the values from column A and C into another sheet.
Do this for all columns till the end of the column.
Link to my spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xnLygpuJnpDfnF6LdR41gN74gWy8mxhVnQJ7i3hv1NA/edit?usp=sharing
The loop stops when the colour does not equal blue. Why?
As you can see I used a for loop. Is that even the way to go?
Can I do anything about the speed of the code execution?
Any comments, hints or help are highly appreciated.
Regards!
You had the input sheet named "List" and I named the output sheet "Output". And here's the code.
function condCopy()
{
var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sht = s.getSheetByName('List')
var drng = sht.getDataRange();
var rng = sht.getRange(2,1, drng.getLastRow()-1,drng.getLastColumn());
var rngA = rng.getValues();//Array of input values
var rngB = [];//Array where values that past the condition will go
var b = 0;//Output iterator
for(var i = 0; i < rngA.length; i++)
{
if(rngA[i][1] == 'blue')
{
rngB[b]=[];//Initial new array
rngB[b].push(rngA[i][0],rngA[i][2]);
b++;
}
}
var shtout = s.getSheetByName('Output');
var outrng = shtout.getRange(2,1,rngB.length,2);//Make the output range the same size as the output array
outrng.setValues(rngB);
}
You have 2 options. The first is to use the standard query() function from Google Sheets to get the values. The downside here is that it is only a reference of the values. So you cannot reorder them, etc. To use this, place this in cell A1 and it will pull the Headers and retrieve the values from column A and C:
=QUERY(A:C, "select A, C where B = 'blue'", 1)
For a Google Apps Script answer:
This will loop through your List sheet and for every row where column B is blue it will save the values in column A and C to column A and B of the new sheet:
function doIt(){
var activeSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet4");
var lastRow = activeSheet.getLastRow();
var lastCol = activeSheet.getLastColumn();
var targetValues = [];
var sourceSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("List");
var lastSourceRow = sourceSheet.getLastRow();
var lastSourceCol = sourceSheet.getLastColumn();
var sourceRange = sourceSheet.getRange(1, 1, lastSourceRow, lastSourceCol);
var sourceData = sourceRange.getValues();
var activeRow = 0;
//Loop through every retrieved row from the Source
for (row in sourceData) {
//IF Column B in this row has 'blue', then work on it.
if (sourceData[row][1] === 'blue') {
//Save it ta a temporary variable
var tempvalue = [sourceData[row][0], sourceData[row][2]];
//then push that into the variables which holds all the new values to be returned
targetValues.push(tempvalue);
}
}
//Save the new range to the appropriate sheet starting at the last empty row
activeSheet.getRange(lastRow + 1, 1 , targetValues.length, 2).setValues(targetValues);
}
Of course, you could pass the value to test to the function by replacing 2 lines. The first, defining the function:
function doIt(testingvar){
to pass a variable called testingvar, and the test line to replace the hard coded test with the passed variable:
if (sourceData[row][1] === testingvar) {
I am trying to write a function that will iterate over each row in a master spreadsheet and check the value of the 3rd column against every row in a second spreadsheet and compare it with the value in the 6th column, then change the value in the 4th column of the master spreadsheet based on the result. The script is a standalone script because its part of a larger project.
The problem is that when I try to set the value of the 4th column in the spreadsheet, I am getting an error that reads "Cannot find function setValue in object SENT". SENT is the value that is in that cell, and I do not understand how it became an object or how I would need to change to code to get at the value to change it. I checked this post about someone having a problem not being able to act on a date value, but I could not figure out how to take that feedback and apply it to this problem.
function eFormCheck() {
var masterSS = SpreadsheetApp.openById("mastersheet");
var masterSheet = masterSS.getSheets()[0];
var masterRange = masterSheet.getDataRange();
var masterData = masterRange.getValues();
var workersCompSent = "SENT";
var workersCompRec = "RECEIVED";
var workersCompSS = SpreadsheetApp.openById("formsheet");
var wcSheets = workersCompSS.getSheets()[0];
var wcRange = wcSheets.getDataRange();
var wcData = wcRange.getValues();
for (var i = 1; i < masterData.length; i++) {
var row = masterData[i];
var email = row[2];
var rowLog = row[3]; //on my spreadsheet this value is "SENT"
for (var j = 1; j < wcData.length; j++) {
var wcRow = wcData[j];
var wcEmail = wcRow[5];
if (email == wcEmail) {
rowLog.setValue(workersCompRec);//having an issue with the value of the third column being an object, but I don't understand how its an object
}
}
}
}
The setValue() method only works on the Range Class. You can't chain the setValue() method to a variable or a cell value. You must first define a range. There are 4 variations of the getRange() method. If you want to set a value in a single cell, then you must get a range that is a single cell. You may need to use your variable i in the getRange() method to get the row. If the column is always the same, then you can "hard code" the column value.
sheet.getRange(i, 4).setValue(workersCompRec);
