im rearranging a spreadsheet using google script. I am first sorting it and then moving some rows within a range to the end of the sheet. Everytime i do the moveTo function some cells that reference the moved rows get changed to reflect the new row numbers even though the cells are outside my range and should not be modified. For example if im moving cell b3 and i have cell f4 =b3 then when i move b3 cell f4 changes to be whatever b3 is now. i tried locking it with =b$3 but still didnt work. Also it messes up the conditional formatting that should be in place for the entire column using something like "d2:e" and it changes to be something like "d2:e109" or something similar. Any clue whats going on?
function onEdit(){
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var allowedSheet = 1;
if(sheet.getIndex() == allowedSheet) {
var editedCell = sheet.getActiveCell();
var sortBy = [1, 3, 2];
var triggerCol = [1,2,3,10,11,12];
var rangeStart = "A";
var rangeEnd = "E";
var tableRange = "A2:E";
if(triggerCol.indexOf(editedCell.getColumn()) > -1) {
var range = sheet.getRange(tableRange);
range.sort([{column: sortBy[0], ascending: true}, {column: sortBy[1], ascending: false}, {column: sortBy[2], ascending: true}]);
var indexOfIncome = find( sheet, 2, "Income");
if( indexOfIncome > 0 ){
var overflowRange = sheet.getRange("A2:E" + (indexOfIncome - 1 ));
var lastRow = findFirstEmptyCell( sheet, 1 );
overflowRange.moveTo(sheet.getRange("A" + ( lastRow )));
var fullRange = sheet.getRange(rangeStart + indexOfIncome + ":" + rangeEnd);
fullRange.moveTo(sheet.getRange(rangeStart + "2"));
}
}
}
}
function find( sheet, column, value ) {
var data = sheet.getRange(1, column, sheet.getMaxRows()).getValues();
for( i = 0; i < sheet.getMaxRows(); i++ ){
if (data[i][0].toString().indexOf(value) > -1 ) {
return i + 1;
}
}
return 0;
}
function findFirstEmptyCell ( sheet, column ){
var data = sheet.getRange( 1, column, sheet.getMaxRows() ).getValues();
for( i = 0; i < sheet.getMaxRows() ; i++ ){
if( data[i][0] == "" ){
return i + 1;
}
}
return 0;
}
It's an expected behaviour, moveTo works just like Cut (Ctrl+X), while your looking for Copy+Paste then delete original content, which should be copyTo(newRange) associated with clear(oldRange).
I got it to work by using copy and then clearing. Now why in the world google would make a single function that behaves the exact opposite from all the other functions is beyond me. The documentation says moveto behaves as cut and paste but when i cut and paste i do not mess up the rest of my sheet.

Sorry in advanced for bad English. I have 15+ rows and 15+ columns. I need to merge cells in a spreadsheet but data will be unclear after merging. Is there a formula/function I can use to clarify my merge? Thank you in advance.
Please view example spreadsheet.
This is not possible using only formula. Formulas can't do anything to formatting like merging cells and applying colors to text. But here's a script you can use to begin with. You may modify it to apply font color.
Try:
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sourceSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var destSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet2");
var sourceData = sourceSheet.getRange(2, 1, sourceSheet.getLastRow() - 1, sourceSheet.getLastColumn()).getValues();
//Add name to each column, add here if you have more columns
sourceData.forEach(function (x) {
x[2] = x[1] + ":\n" + x[2]
x[3] = x[1] + ":\n" + x[3]
});
var array = sourceData,
hash = {},
i, j,
result,
item,
key;
for (i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
item = array[i];
key = item[0].toString();
if (!hash[key]) {
hash[key] = item.slice();
continue;
}
for (j = 1; j < item.length; j++) hash[key][j] = hash[key][j] + "\n" + item[j];
}
result = Object.values(hash);
destSheet.getRange(2, 1, result.length, result[0].length).setValues(result);
}
Result:

Hope this helps!
You can try with this formula, adapt the column range in the MAP function if necessary:
={UNIQUE('raw data'!A2:A),
SCAN(,UNIQUE('raw data'!A2:A),
LAMBDA(x,city, BYCOL(IFNA(FILTER ({'raw data'!B2:B,
MAP('raw data'!C2:G,LAMBDA(a,IF(a="","",INDEX('raw data'!B:B,ROW(a))&":"&CHAR(10)&a)))},'raw data'!A2:A=city,'raw data'!A2:A<>"")),LAMBDA(col,JOIN(CHAR(10)&CHAR(10),col)))))}
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();
}

Is it possible to fasten the hide of many rows when range.length > 300 rows ?
I also can't succeed moving the focus to the top of the sheet once the rows are hidden, I can only get the focus on another sheet.
Here is my code (french parameters), I'm not sure I need to show my spreadsheet. Thank you very much.
var LastRow = sheet.getLastRow()-1;
var ToHide = [];
for (var i=1 ; i < LastRow +1 ; i++){
if ( sheet.getRange(i,1).isChecked() == null){ ToHide.push(i); }
}
for (var j=0 ; j<ToHide.length ; j++){ MyActiveSheet.hideRows(ToHide[j+1],1); }
ToHide.forEach(function (d){ FeuilleActive.hideRows(d); }); // also tried .hideRows(d,1)
SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheets()[5].getRange(1,1).activate(); //
To lessen the number of loops, you can ​group it by determining the series of consecutive numbers in your Array. Which you can use to determine the index and number of rows to hide. The number of .hideRows() execution will be determined by the number of series in your array. Thus, lesser runtime.
Example Code:
function myFunction() {
var a = [1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,11,13,14];
const result = a.reduce((r, n) => {
const lastSubArray = r[r.length - 1];
if(!lastSubArray || lastSubArray[lastSubArray.length - 1] !== n - 1) {
r.push([]);
}
r[r.length - 1].push(n);
return r;
}, []);
//result output: [[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0], [6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0], [11.0], [13.0, 14.0]]
result.forEach(e => {
var index = e[0];
var numRows = e.length;
Logger.log("Index: "+ index);
Logger.log("numRows: "+numRows);
// MyActiveSheet.hideRows(index,numRows);
})
}
Output:

hideRows(rowIndex, numRows)
I'm not sure if this is even possible, and to be quite honest, I haven't tried many things because I wasn't sure where to even start. I'm using the Script Editor from Google Sheets, btw. I know there are SpreadsheetApp.getRange() and another to get the values or something like that. But what I want is a bit specific.
Is there a way to grab all the cell data in a given row and put it into an array? The rows will vary in size, that's why I can't do an exact range.
So for example, if I were to have rows have these values:
abc | 123 | 987 | efg
blah| cat | 654
I want to be able to grab those values and place them into an array like ["abc", "123", "987, "efg"]. And then if I run the function on the next row, it'd be ["blah", "cat", "654"].
Actually, it can be placed into any data type as long as there's a delimiter I'd be able to use.
Thank you in advance!
This is easier to achieve without a script, with the formula =filter(1:1, len(1:1)) returning all values in nonempty cells in row 1, etc.
From a script, you can do something like this:
function flat_nonempty() {
var range = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("A:A"); // range here
var values = range.getValues();
var flat = values.reduce(function(acc, row) {
return acc.concat(row.filter(function(x) {
return x != "";
}));
}, []);
Logger.log(flat); // flat list of values, no blanks
}
The range here can have one row or multiple rows.
Is this useful for you?
When there are abc | 123 | 987 | efg, blah| cat | 654 and abc | | 987 | efg at row 1, row 2 and row 3, myFunction(1), myFunction(2) and myFunction(3) return [abc, 123.0, 987.0, efg], [blah, cat, 654.0] and [abc, , 987.0, efg].
function myFunction(row){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var values = ss.getRange(row, 1, 1, ss.getLastColumn()).getValues();
var c = 0;
for (var c = values[0].length - 1; c >= 0; c--){
if (values[0][c] != "") break;
}
values[0].splice(c + 1, values[0].length - c - 1);
return values[0];
}

You can loop and create your array directly if you do want an array. Here I am illustrating creating for all the rows, but if you know the row you want, you could do without the outer loop (and just set i to the desired row).
function rowArr() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
// This represents ALL the rows
var range = sheet.getDataRange();
var values = range.getValues();
for (var i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
var row = [];
for (var j = 0; j < values[i].length; j++) {
if (values[i][j]) {
row.push(values[i][j]);
}
}
Logger.log(row);
}
}
I'm looking to clone a row 3x, but only keeping data from one column.
So essentially I have the following [Name / Time / Booking], and each row is populated with all 3 properties, I'm trying to create 3 blank rows underneath each current row which is populated with only the persons name.
Can't work how to do it in scripting and can't find a plugin to do this. My data set is over 10,000 big so doing it manually isn't an option.
What I have:
What I want:
UPDATED code:
function duplicateRows() {
var sh, v, arr, c, b;
sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActive()
.getSheetByName('Blad1')
v = sh.getRange(1, 1, sh.getLastRow(), 40)
.getValues();
arr = [v[0]];
v.splice(1)
.forEach(function (r, i) {
arr.push(r)
c = 0
while (c < 3) {
dup = makeEmptyArrayXEl(40)
dup[0] = r[0];
arr.push(dup)
c += 1;
}
})
sh.getRange(1, 1, arr.length, arr[0].length)
.setValues(arr);
}
function makeEmptyArrayXEl(num) {
var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < num; i++) {
arr.push("")
}
return arr;
}
Would this work for you? It requires a free column to the left of Booking in the original data set. The formula below is a new sheet.
=ArrayFormula(sort({A2:A4,B2:B4,C2:C4;A2:A4,D2:D4,D2:D4;A2:A4,D2:D4,D2:D4;A2:A4,D2:D4,D2:D4},1,FALSE))
