I need a script that autofills a cell with the values of a cell in the same row, but in a different (but fixed) column.
I have tried this script, but I can't get it to write the Value of anything but the cell itself.
function onEdit(event) {
var sheet = event.source.getActiveSheet();
var range = event.source.getActiveRange();
if (sheet.getSheetName() == "Tweet" && range.getColumn() == 2 && range.getValue().toString().trim() !== "" && range.getValue().indexOf("http:") != 0) {
range.setValue("http://test.com/" + range.getValue());
}
Try this:
function onEdit(event) {
var sheet = event.source.getActiveSheet();
var range = event.source.getActiveRange();
var fixed_column = 6; //Substitute this to your fixed column number.
if (sheet.getSheetName() == "Tweet" && range.getColumn() == 2 && range.getValue().toString().trim() !== "" && range.getValue().indexOf("http:") != 0) {
range.setValue("http://test.com/" + sheet.getRange(range.getRow(),fixed_column).getValue());
}
}
Just substitute the number of your fixed column.

I want to make a function in google sheet, for example here "sum" I want it sum all above cells until the previous another function
So if I copied it to another row it will sum all above cell until the previous function also (3 of pic).
Try these custom functions
// mike steelson
function sumSinceLastFormula(rng){
var lastRow = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange().getRow()-1
var col = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange().getColumn()
var sum=0
for (var i = lastRow; i>1; i--){
var value = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet().getRange(i,col).getFormula()
if (value && value.toString().charAt(0) === '=') {break}
else {sum += SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet().getRange(i,col).getValue()}
}
return sum
}
function countaSinceLastFormula(rng){
var lastRow = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange().getRow()-1
var col = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange().getColumn()
var counta=0
for (var i = lastRow; i>1; i--){
var value = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet().getRange(i,col).getFormula()
if (value && value.toString().charAt(0) === '=') {break}
else {counta++}
}
return counta
}
function countifSinceLastFormula(rng,crit){
var lastRow = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange().getRow()-1
var col = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange().getColumn()
var countif=0
for (var i = lastRow; i>1; i--){
var value = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet().getRange(i,col).getFormula()
if (value && value.toString().charAt(0) === '=') {break}
else {if (SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet().getRange(i,col).getValue()==crit) {countif++} }
}
return countif
}
to automatically update the values, add reference to previous cells
=sumSinceLastFormula(F$2:F8)
when in F9, and copy where you need it.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iXDbYDd_5rmHa1E41zobTWB6MKvABR1ERpCgcValIng/copy
You can calculate the cumulative by a single formula like
={"sum";arrayformula(SUMIF(ROW(A2:A),"<="&ROW(A2:A),F2:F))}
UPDATE: Got this to work with the following script:
function onEdit(e) {
var range = e.range;
var sheet = range.getSheet();
var name = sheet.getName();
var currentDate = new Date();
//variable
var startRow = 1;
//get modified row and column
var row = e.range.getRow();
var col = e.range.getColumn();
var currentDate = new Date();
if(col === 7 && row === 3 && sheet.getRange(1,14).getValue() == "" &&
sheet.getName() != "4-Transfer Walkthru" &&
sheet.getName() != "1-Cover Sheet" &&
sheet.getName() != "2-Inventory" &&
sheet.getName() != "3-Template"){
sheet.getRange(1,14).setValue(currentDate);
}
else if(row >= startRow){
sheet.getRange(2,14).setValue(currentDate);
}
}
Original Post:
I'm attempting to add a "last edited" timestamp to a cell within each tab of a doc that has many tabs, and will continue to have more tabs added/removed. Everything I've found so far either creates a timestamp whenever anything within the entire doc is edited, or it requires listing out each tab name in the script (which is not ideal as the tabs in this doc are ever-changing).
Is there a way to make edit timestamps specific to each tab, without having to list out each tab's name?
Here's what I have so far, which included a timestamp for when the tab is first created (run by any edits made to cell J3), as well as the timestamp that updates across all tabs any time anything is edited in entire doc:
function onEdit(e) {
addTimestamp(e);
}
function addTimestamp(e){
//variable
var startRow = 1;
//get modified row and column
var row = e.range.getRow();
var col = e.range.getColumn();
var currentDate = new Date();
if(col === 7 && row === 3 && e.source.getActiveSheet().getRange(1,14).getValue() == ""){
e.source.getActiveSheet().getRange(1,14).setValue(currentDate);
}
if(row >= startRow &&
e.source.getActiveSheet().getName() != "Transfer Walkthru" &&
e.source.getActiveSheet().getName() != "Cover Sheet" &&
e.source.getActiveSheet().getName() != "Inventory" &&
e.source.getActiveSheet().getName() != "Template"){
e.source.getActiveSheet().getRange(2,14).setValue(currentDate);
}
}
ETA: Example sheet
Thank you!
onEdit allows you to access the event object range from which you cn deduct the sheet where the edit took place
Then you can implement conditional statements into your code to specify what shall happen depending on which sheet has been edited.
The problem with your code is probably due to e.source.getActiveSheet() because the active sheet might not always be the edited sheet.
I recommend you to retrieve the sheet with e.range.getSheet() instead.
Sample:
function onEdit(e) {
var range = e.range;
var sheet = range.getSheet();
var name = sheet.getName();
var currentDate = new Date();
//variable
var startRow = 1;
//get modified row and column
var row = e.range.getRow();
var col = e.range.getColumn();
var currentDate = new Date();
if(col === 7 && row === 3 && sheet.getRange(1,14).getValue() == ""){
sheet.getRange(1,14).setValue(currentDate);
}
else if(row >= startRow &&
sheet.getName() != "Transfer Walkthru" &&
sheet.getName() != "Cover Sheet" &&
sheet.getName() != "Inventory" &&
sheet.getName() != "Template"){
sheet.getRange(2,14).setValue(currentDate);
}
}
I found two scripts. Since they both were an onEdit() function they couldn't work side by side, I tried to merge them.
I am using this sheet for a very basic inventory of things I sell / keep track of what I have sold.
I want two things;
First: I would like the cell in column A to change to the current date whenever I do a change on that row.
Second: If I change the value in column B to "Sold" I want it to be moved to a different sheet (as well as getting a new date due the change).
Column B has the following choices:
-Ja (as in stock)
-Bokad (as in booked)
-Såld (as in sold)
The name of the Sheets are:
-Blocket (inventory)
-Sålda (sold)
function onEdit(event) {
// assumes source data in sheet named Blocket
// target sheet of move to named Sålda
// test column with "Såld" is col 2
var s = event.source.getActiveSheet(),
cols = [2],
colStamp = 1,
ind = cols.indexOf(event.range.columnStart)
if (s.getName() == 'Blocket' || ind == -1) return;
event.range.offset(0, parseInt(colStamp - cols[ind]))
.setValue(e.value ? new Date() : null);
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var s = event.source.getActiveSheet();
var r = event.source.getActiveRange();
if(s.getName() == "Blocket" && r.getColumn() == 2 && r.getValue() == "Såld")
{
var row = r.getRow();
var numColumns = s.getLastColumn();
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sålda");
if(targetSheet.getLastRow() == targetSheet.getMaxRows()) {
targetSheet.insertRowsAfter(targetSheet.getLastRow(), 20); //inserts 20 rows
after last used row
}
var target = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
s.getRange(row, 1, 1, numColumns).moveTo(target);
s.deleteRow(row);
}
}
See if this works
function onEdit(e) {
var s, targetSheet;
s = e.source.getActiveSheet();
if (s.getName() !== 'Blocket' || e.range.columnStart == 1) return;
s.getRange(e.range.rowStart, 1)
.setValue(new Date());
if (e.range.columnStart == 2 && e.value == "Såld") {
targetSheet = e.source.getSheetByName("Sålda");
if (targetSheet.getLastRow() == targetSheet.getMaxRows()) {
targetSheet.insertRowsAfter(targetSheet.getLastRow(), 20); //inserts 20 rows
}
s.getRange(e.range.rowStart, 1, 1, s.getLastColumn()).moveTo(targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1));
}
}
I have a code that helps me copy a row of data based on a condition in a given column. I have a sheet called "Master" which has around 1000 rows of data. I want to move a row of data to a sheet called "Master Responses" if column 1 of "Master" has the word "Positive" or "Negative" in it. I used the or function (||) in the IF STATEMENT to select the condition (that is if "Positive" is entered or "Negative") but the row is only copied when I type "Positive" in the first column. When I type "Negative" in the first column the row is not copied. Also, I wanted to know how the code should be modified if I had to call the "Master Responses" sheet by using ".openByID or .openByURL". I have attached the code, please feel free to edit it. I am new to scripting and have been stuck on this for over a month. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
function onEdit()
{
var sheetNamesToWatch = ["Master"];
var columnNumberToWatch = 1;
var valuesToWatch = ["Positive"];
var valuesToWatch1 = ["Negative"];
var targetSheetsToMoveTheRowTo = ["Master Responses"];
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var range = sheet.getActiveCell();
if(sheetNamesToWatch.indexOf(sheet.getName()) != -1 &&
valuesToWatch.indexOf(range.getValue()) != -1 ||
valuesToWatch1.indexOf(range.getValue()) != -1 && range.getColumn()
==columnNumberToWatch)
{
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName(targetSheetsToMoveTheRowTo[valuesToWatch.indexOf(range.getValue())]);
var targetRange = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
sheet.getRange(range.getRow(), 1, 1,
sheet.getLastColumn()).copyTo(targetRange);
}
}
I'm not sure about .openByID or .openByURL, however this should fix the problem with "Negative".
I also added extra parenthesis on the first if statement so that it was clear to me what it was checking on.
function onEdit()
{
var sheetNamesToWatch = ["Master"];
var columnNumberToWatch = 1;
var valuesToWatch = ["Positive"];
var valuesToWatch1 = ["Negative"];
var targetSheetsToMoveTheRowTo = ["Master Responses"];
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var range = sheet.getActiveCell();
if((sheetNamesToWatch.indexOf(sheet.getName()) != -1) && ((valuesToWatch.indexOf(range.getValue()) != -1) ||
(valuesToWatch1.indexOf(range.getValue()) != -1)) && (range.getColumn() ==columnNumberToWatch))
{
if (valuesToWatch.indexOf(range.getValue()) != -1)
{
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName(targetSheetsToMoveTheRowTo[valuesToWatch.indexOf(range.getValue())]);
}
else
{
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName(targetSheetsToMoveTheRowTo[valuesToWatch1.indexOf(range.getValue())]);
}
var targetRange = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
sheet.getRange(range.getRow(), 1, 1,
sheet.getLastColumn()).copyTo(targetRange);
}
}
I'm very new to Google Sheets and particularly using the Apps Script API to make functions for Sheets.
My goal is to search 3 cells in a row, and if two of three contain an 'X', the third which does not turns blue.
Currently the sheet has conditional formatting as follows:
X = Green
Empty = Red
? = Orange
! = Blue
So the intent is to change the Empty cell to ! if the other two cells in the row are X.
Image for reference:
Essentially, I need a function which can check a range of cells for their contents, but I don't know how to properly use the API, if someone could give me a bit of help it would be greatly appreciated.
Note: This is NOT for a project of any sort, this is just for my friends and myself.
Edit
My thoughts were to have the range as the function parameter (A1:C1 for instance) and then access the cell's data for the range and check them against each other. My issue is that I don't know how to use the API to get this data.
If the scenario mentioned before applies, you can use this method:
function checkRow() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var activeCell = ss.getActiveCell();
var currentRow = activeCell.getRow();
var currentCol = activeCell.getColumn();
var allRange = ss.getRange("A1:C3");
var activeValue = activeCell.getValue();
var secondCell, thirdCell;
if(activeValue == "x")
{
if ( currentCol == 1 )
{
secondCell = allRange.getCell( currentRow, currentCol+1 );
thirdCell = allRange.getCell( currentRow, currentCol+2 );
} else if ( currentCol == 2 )
{
secondCell = allRange.getCell( currentRow, currentCol-1 );
thirdCell = allRange.getCell( currentRow, currentCol+1 );
}
else if ( currentCol == 3 )
{
secondCell = allRange.getCell( currentRow, currentCol-1 );
thirdCell = allRange.getCell( currentRow, currentCol-2 );
}
if ( secondCell.getValue() == "x" && thirdCell.getValue() == "" )
{
thirdCell.setValue("!");
thirdCell.setBackground("#00FFFF");
} else if (thirdCell.getValue() == "x" && secondCell.getValue() == "" )
{
secondCell.setValue("!");
secondCell.setBackground("#00FFFF");
}
}
}
