I am looking to set up something where notifications are only sent out if a specific single cell is changed. I have little coding experience and have a general idea of what needs to be in place. From what I have gathered I have created a script but it has notifications for all cell changes. Any suggestions on changing to only notify on single cell would be appreciated.
function emailNotification() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var cell = ss.getActiveCell().getA1Notation();
var cellvalue = ss.getActiveCell().getValue().toString();
var recipient = "mail#mail.com";
var subject = 'Update to '+sheet.getName();
var body = sheet.getName() + ' has been updated. Visit ' + ss.getUrl() + ' to view the changes on cell: «' + cell + '» New cell value: «' + cellvalue + '»';
MailApp.sendEmail(recipient, subject, body);
};
Try changing
var cell = ss.getActiveCell().getA1Notation();
var cellvalue = ss.getActiveCell().getValue().toString();
to
var cell = ss.getRange(row, column); //Put in the row and column of your cell
var cellvalue = cell.getValue().toString();
assuming that with 'changes' you mean manual edits, in order to 'limit' the script to a certain sheet and/or a certain cell you will have to check what the currently edited cell is. For example: if you only want the script to fire off when cell A1 of Sheet1 is edited, try something like:
function emailNotification(e) {
var sheet = e.source.getActiveSheet();
if (sheet.getName() !== 'Sheet1' || e.range.getA1Notation() !== 'A1') return;
var recipient = "mail#gmail.com";
var subject = 'Update to ' + sheet.getName();
var body = sheet.getName() + ' has been updated.\nVisit ' + e.source.getUrl() + ' to view the changes on cell A1.\nNew cell value: «' + e.value + '»';
MailApp.sendEmail(recipient, subject, body);
};
Change the sheet name and cell to suit and see if this works ?
var cell = ss.getRange("F2:F50"); //Put in the row and column of your cell
I'm working with this as well. The script is still sending notification if any cell is edited, not just column F

I am trying to have my function use three sheets within its embedded spreadsheet: two fixed sheets and one active/open sheet. I need it to read the sheet I have open because that is the sheet I am changing week to week, but it is automatically defaulting to using the first sheet rather than the sheet I have opened. I altered this function from an existing function I have that works, and on this new one I only changed the message and its assigned variables. I really know absolutely nothing about coding but have been learning so I can create a custom message from a code a previous coworker wrote. I appreciate all of the help I can get x10000
function createMessage(address, dirtrider, day, window, outby, phone) {
{ var message = 'Hello ' + address + ', welcome to IVCC\'s composting program! You\'ll be receiving weekly automated reports from this number (a weekly reminder to put your bucket out and a notification if any incorrect items were discarded into your bucket). To stop receiving these messages, reply STOP. We are currently restructuring our biking routes, therefore you may be receieving a new Dirtrider according to this message. Starting next week, you\'re assigned Dirtrider will be ' + dirtrider + ', and you\'re new bucket will arrive weekly on ' + day + '\'s sometime between ' + window + '. Please have your bucket outside your front door by ' + outby + ' on this day weekly unless notified of a change. This is an automated messaging service, so please reach out to your Dirtrider directly at ' + phone + ' with any questions or concerns about your service. Thanks for composting with us! -IVCC Team';
}
return message;
}
// function to verify numbers and messages before sending //
function PrintMessages() {
var mainsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = mainsheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var contactsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Contact Sheet");
var contacts = contactsheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var messageLog_sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Message Log");
var messageLog = messageLog_sheet.getDataRange().getValues;
var mLrow = 2 //row to start at on Message Log spreadsheet
// runs through every row of active spreadsheet, i = row //
for (var i = 2; i < data.length; i++) {
// set variables based on values in sheet and create message//
var address = data[i][0];
var day = data[i][1];
var window = data[i][2];
var outby = data[i][3];
var dirtrider = data[i][4]
var phone = data[i][5]
var message = createMessage(address, dirtrider, day, window, outby, phone);
// reference seperate contact sheet, j = column //
var nresidents = contacts[i][2];
for (var j = 1; j <= nresidents; j++) {
// log address, phone number, and message function //
var address = contacts[i][0];
var number = contacts[i][j+2];
var messageArray = [[address, number, message]];
var range = messageLog_sheet.getRange(mLrow, 1, 1, 3); //ENTER COMMENTS
range.setValues(messageArray);
var mLrow = mLrow + 1;
}
}

I'm completely new to Java Scipt although over the years I've messed around with VBA & Macros in Excel. I am now using Google Sheets almost exclusively, hence needing to learn Java.
I'm trying to jump to a specific cell (E5) if the current cell is (C14). This is what I've put together so far using scripts 'borrrowed' from others.
ie On entry of data in Cell C13 and pressing Enter, focus goes to Cell C14. The next data is to go into Cell E5.
function onSelectionChange(e) {
var sheetNames = ["Score Input"]; // Set the sheet name.
var ranges = ["C14"]; // Set the range to run the script.
var range = e.range;
var sheet = range.getSheet();
var check = ranges.some(r => {
var rng = sheet.getRange(r);
var rowStart = rng.getRow();
var rowEnd = rowStart + rng.getNumRows();
var colStart = rng.getColumn();
var colEnd = colStart + rng.getNumColumns();
return (range.rowStart >= rowStart && range.rowEnd < rowEnd && range.columnStart >= colStart && range.columnEnd < colEnd);
});
if (check) {
jumpToDetails();
}
};
function jumpToDetails() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Score Input");
var goToRange = sheet.getRange('c14').getValue();
//sheet.getRange(goToRange).activate();
SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getRange('E5').activate();
}
It worked, or did until I inserted a row in the sheet, and even though I have changed the associated cell addresses, it now doesn't work?
Two questions. 'Why has it stopped working'? and 'Is there a simpler way to do it'?
I prefer using onEdit(e) on range C13 and jump to E5
For instance here is a script that jump from one cell to the following in addresses'list
function onEdit(event){
var sh = event.source.getActiveSheet();
var rng = event.source.getActiveRange();
if (sh.getName() == 'Score Input'){ // adapt
var addresses = ["C13","E5","E10","H10","E13","H13","E16"]; // adapt
var values = addresses.join().split(",");
var item = values.indexOf(rng.getA1Notation());
if (item < addresses.length - 1){
sh.setActiveSelection(addresses[item + 1]); // except last one
}
}
}
if you want to be able to add rows and columns, play with named ranges (for instance ranges names 'first', 'second, 'third')
function onEdit(event){
var sh = event.source.getActiveSheet();
var rng = event.source.getActiveRange();
if (sh.getName() == 'Score Input'){
var addresses = ["first","second","third"];
var values = addresses
.map(ad => myGetRangeByName(ad))
.join().split(",");
var item = values.indexOf(rng.getA1Notation());
if (item < addresses.length - 1){
sh.setActiveSelection(addresses[item + 1]); // except last one
}
}
}
function myGetRangeByName(n) {
return SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getRangeByName(n).getA1Notation();
}

class NamedRange
I have a column A "Mood" with values = Happy or Sad.
I have a column B "Why are you sad?" with values = Stubbed toe, Hungry, Mourning
I want to lock the cell in column B, and unlock it if A = Sad
How?
Thanks!
I think I found the answer via some extra Google searching. This is a YouTube video on how it works, followed by a link to the code in the video:

What the author does is create some ranges in a different sheet as lookup values, and then populate the select box with the values from the matching column.
function depDrop_(range, sourceRange){
var rule = SpreadsheetApp.newDataValidation().requireValueInRange(sourceRange, true).build();
range.setDataValidation(rule);
}
function onEdit (){
var aCell = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getActiveCell();
var aColumn = aCell.getColumn();
if (aColumn == 1 && SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet()){
var range = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(aCell.getRow(), aColumn + 1);
var sourceRange = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getRangeByName(aCell.getValue());
depDrop_(range, sourceRange);
}
else if (aColumn == 2 && SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet()){
var range = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(aCell.getRow(), aColumn + 1);
var sourceRange = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getRangeByName(aCell.getValue());
depDrop_(range, sourceRange);
}
if the same value is duplicated in the particular column, i need the the same text to be pasted respective to the above cell in the same column.
Eg,
Column A1 has 1111 and column B1 has abcd , if 1111 duplicated in A2, abcd should be auto posted in B2.
Is is possible in conditional formatting???
Here's a script that does what I think you want.
function onEdit(e)
{
var sht=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('ColumnADuplicates');
var rng=sht.getDataRange();
var rngA=rng.getValues();
var cell = e.range;
var row = cell.getRow();
var col = cell.getColumn();
var value = cell.getValue();
//Logger.log('row = ' + String(row) + ' , column = ' + String(col) + ' , value = ' + String(value));
var nextCell = sht.getRange(row, col+1);
if(col==1)
{
for(var i=0;i<rngA.length;i++)
{
if(rngA[i][0] == value && i+1 != row)
{
nextCell.setValue((rngA[i][1] !='undefined')?rngA[i][1]:'');
break;
}
}
}
}
Here's what my sheet looks like:
First post. I have just started to learn to code (2 days in) but this is way over my head for now.
I want to be able to email the contents of a row (all cells in that row) by right clicking the grey cell that highlights the entire row and then choosing an option in the drop down menu that either allows me to enter an email address or sends to a specific address that is entered into the code (I will always be sending to the same address).
In fact, choosing the option in the drop down menu isn't a necessity, just how I envisage it but any solution that allows me to bypass copying the row and pasting it into an email would work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Ok, so I know this is probably terrible coding but as I said, until a couple of days ago I had never even read a code, let alone tried to write anything. So please be nice!
So with some serious googling, copy/pasting, editing for my needs etc and using the very little I know, here is what I have come up with:
function onEdit(event){
//transfer a row once specific value entered into a cell within that row (without deleting original row)
// assumes source data in sheet named Needed
// target sheet of move to named Acquired
// test column with yes/no is col 4 or D
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var s = event.source.getActiveSheet();
var r = event.source.getActiveRange();
if(s.getName() == "Sheet1" && r.getColumn() == 5 && r.getValue() == "Email JM") {
var row = r.getRow();
var numColumns = s.getLastColumn();
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet2");
var target = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
s.getRange(row, 1, 1, numColumns).copyTo(target);
}
};
function onEditEmail(){
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Sheet2');
var startRow = 1; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 1; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 5)
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var data = dataRange.getValues();
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; ++i) {
var row = data[i];
var message = row[0] + ", " + row[1] + ", " + row[2] + ", " + row[3]; //whole row
var subject = "New Order";
if (row[0] != ""){
MailApp.sendEmail("example#email.com", subject, message);
//delete row straight after it is sent
sheet.deleteRows(1, 1);
}
}
}
Row needing to be emailed is transferred to a different blank sheet when I enter "Email JM" at the end of the row and by setting data validation for this column this can be done by clicking the drop down arrow (no typing). My onEditEmail trigger is set to every minute, which sends all the columns I need from "Sheet2) and then immediately deletes the row so it is not resent a minute later.
The only problem is if 2 orders are entered inside a minute, but this is a very small chance of happening (although I guess it will sooner or later).
Please point out where I can improve this.
Cheers
