Simple relative cell referencing in google code - cell

Question

I have made this virtual inventory with buttons that copy and paste values to various sheets for different types of reports. The code might not be optimal I am not much of a programmer but I'm trying my best. now I have the same button in multiple places and I want it to copy values in cells relative to the position of the button itself but I am not sure how to reference a cell in a relative manner in the getRange fucntion.
here is the code:
function Go() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet ();
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var destSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Fiche");
var lastRow = destSheet.getLastRow();
var source = ss.getRange ('(rowid-3)(colid)');
var checkbox = sheet.getRange (3,3);
var destColumn = ss.getRange ('B10').getValues ();
source.copyTo(destSheet.getRange(lastRow + 1,1), {contentsOnly: true});
if (checkbox.getValue() == 'vrai' ) {
var source = ss.getRange ('B9');
source.copyTo(destSheet.getRange(lastRow + 1, destColumn), {contentsOnly: true});
source.copyTo(destSheet.getRange(lastRow + 1, 2), {contentsOnly: true});
}
else {
var nombre = ss.getRange ('D5').getValues() ;
destSheet.getRange(lastRow + 1, destColumn).setValue(nombre);
destSheet.getRange(lastRow + 1, 2).setValue(nombre)
}
I want all (B10),(B9), etc. format cells to be replaced with relative cell positons. I have tried with (colID)(rowID) but it doesn't seem to work

Answer 1

I believe your goal as follows.
You want to retrieve the cell coordinate when a button on Spreadsheet is clicked.
Modification points:
Unfortunately, in the current stage, when a button on Spreadsheet is clicked, there are no methods for directly retrieving the information where button is clicked.
So when you want to use the button on Spreadsheet, if you want to retrieve the information, it is required to prepare each script for each button. But I thought that this might be different from the direction you expect.
In this answer, in order to retrieve the information where the button is clicked, I would like to propose the following 2 patterns as the workarounds. In these patterns, the event object is used. By this, the information of the button can be retrieved. This is used.
Pattern 1:
In this pattern, a cell is used as the button using the simple trigger of OnSelectionChange. When the cell "B3" is used as the button like above image, the script is as follows.
Sample script:
In this script, for example, when you want to use the cell "B3" of "Sheet1" as the button, please set "B3" to buttonRanges. And, set sheet.getSheetName() != "Sheet1". When when you want to use the cell "B3" and "B4" as the button, please set "B3" and "B4" to buttonRanges.
function onSelectionChange(e) {
const range = e.range;
const sheet = range.getSheet();
const buttonRanges = ["B3"];
if (sheet.getSheetName() != "Sheet1" || !buttonRanges.includes(range.getA1Notation())) return;
const row = range.getRow(); // This is the row number.
const column = range.getColumn(); // This is the column number.
}
In this case, when the cell "B3" is clicked, this script is run. And row and column are the row and column number of the cell.
Because the cell is used as the button, you can put the value to the cell.
Pattern 2:
In this pattern, a checkbox is used as the button using the OnEdit trigger. When the cell "B3" is used as the button like above image, the script is as follows.
Sample script:
In this script, for example, when you want to use the cell "B3" of "Sheet1" as the button, please set "B3" to buttonRanges. And, set sheet.getSheetName() != "Sheet1". When when you want to use the cell "B3" and "B4" as the button, please set "B3" and "B4" to buttonRanges.
function onEdit(e) {
const range = e.range;
const sheet = range.getSheet();
const buttonRanges = ["B3"];
if (sheet.getSheetName() != "Sheet1" || !buttonRanges.includes(range.getA1Notation()) || !range.isChecked()) return;
const row = range.getRow(); // This is the row number.
const column = range.getColumn(); // This is the column number.
}
In this case, when the checkbox is checked, the script is run. When the checkbox is unchecked, the script is not run.
Because the checkbox is used as the button, you cannot see the text in the cell.
