After testing code below, all steps works except the if statement. Values of cells which are indeed "ik kom niet, mijn partner komt wel" >> but the color doesnot change into red.
Who is able to solve this problem?
function Changecolor (e)
{
var target = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1234");
var target_sheet = target.getSheetByName("lijst beschikbare bridgers");
var rows = target_sheet.getDataRange();
var numRows = rows.getNumRows();
var range = target_sheet.getRange("A1:K100");
range.setBackground('');
for (var i=2; i <= numRows; i++)
{
var value = target_sheet.getRange(i, 4).getValue();
if (value == "ik kom niet, mijn partner komt wel")
{
target_sheet.getRange(i,1).setBackground('red');
}
}
}
Mikeng ths for editing. I will change all my scripts like this.
Problem is solved. Actually there was no problem the script is OK and works. I just gave the wrong range:
var value = target_sheet.getRange(i, 4).getValue();
should be:
var value = target_sheet.getRange(i, 10).getValue();
Such a stupidy costs me at least 3 hours...

I seem to be going quite wrong somewhere.
I'm writing a script that will automatically send out a reminder email if a Google sheet cell turns to "Yes".
The problem is my script seems to read it as:
if the second row has a "yes" it will return true for all rows and send out an email to everyone, regardless of the other rows saying "yes" or "no".
if any other row has a yes, then it seems to be completely ignored.
Defining the range to check:
//looping through all of the rows
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; ++i) {
var row = data[i];
// Creating where the if statement is check
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var thisQuarter = ss.getRange("H2:H50").getValue();
The IF statement to check against:
// checking for this quarter
if (
thisQuarter == "Yes") {
var subject =
'Your BCP is due to expire this quarter: ';
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message,);
Logger.log('this quarter');
}
}
}
If anyone could give me a couple pointers as to where I'm going wrong, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ideally post a view only copy of the sheet. I believe the problem is this section of code:
// checking for this quarter
if (
thisQuarter == "Yes") {
var subject =
'Your BCP is due to expire this quarter: ';
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message,);
Logger.log('this quarter');
}
thisQuarter is assigned here:
var thisQuarter = ss.getRange("H2:H50").getValue();
change that line to this:
var thisQuarter = ss.getRange("H2:H50").getValues();
so thisQuarter is an array of values from the range specified
change the if statement to this and see if it helps:
for (i = 0; i < thisQuarter.length; i++) {
if (thisQuarter[i][0] == "Yes" {
// send email
}
}
I ve been getting some issues trying to use IF statement using items on the sheets as answers, mostly i been trying either using as firt statement a string directly or using another cell of the sheets with the statement comparing to the one i ve been trying to detect with out any results. Mostly my objective would be to, with a daly trigger, use an IF statement to detect every day if the date of today is the same as a date marked on a cell, my only current solution is and only thing is to make it detect if a cell is empty or not, so i just been using google Formulas that do the detect of the date, and if True make it empty, and if not make something appear
Here are some of the tests I ve been trying
Test 1:
var Sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("SheetName");
else if (Sheet.getRange(1, 1).getValue() == "2/2/2020"){}
(cell A1=2/2/2020)
Test 2:
var Sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("SheetName");
else if (Sheet.getRange(1, 1).getValue() == Sheet.getRange(1, 2).getValue()){}
(cell A1=2/2/2020)
(cell B1=2/2/2020)
Here are two solutions depending on what you are trying to accomplish.
This first one gets the values, formats them to a date format, and then compares them
function myFunction() {
var tz = Session.getScriptTimeZone();
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('SheetName');
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var aVal = Utilities.formatDate(data[0][0],tz,'MM/dd/YYYY');
var bVal = Utilities.formatDate(data[0][1],tz,'MM/dd/YYYY');
Logger.log([aVal,bVal])
if(aVal == bVal) {
//do something
}
}
This second section gets the display values and compares them. The first solution compares the date values while this second solution compares the dates as a string. Good luck!
function myFunction1() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('SheetName');
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getDisplayValues();
var aVal = data[0][0]
var bVal = data[0][1]
Logger.log([aVal,bVal])
if(aVal == bVal) {
//do something
}
}
I have a checklist, column C indicates which test is automated by "enabled" or "disabled" written in the cells.
Further down the row is a column for the the Pass / Empty column for each test.
I have code that looks for if Enabled in column C, in X column on that row, mark as Pass automatically (or 'P' in my case).
The problem: If C column contains "Disabled" but also a Pass, when I run the script it replaces that Pass with an empty cell. How can I change the else statement to just ignore that cell and leave whatever is in it for anything but Enabled condition is met
function autoPassPC() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Aug 2020');
// What to put in the test result
var values1 = "P";
// Where to look for Auto:
var values2 = sheet.getRange("C10:C15" + sheet.getLastRow()).getValues();
// Keyword to look for in Auto: column
var putValues = [];
for (var i = 0; i < values2.length; i++) {
if (values2[i][0] === "Enabled") {
putValues.push([values1]);
} else {
putValues.push([""]);
}
}
// Put value1 inside row, column# for test result
sheet.getRange(10, 25, putValues.length, 1).setValues(putValues);
}
Basically how do I get rid of
} else {
putValues.push([""]);
}
properly? Just deleting this causes the script to put 'P' on every single row. Just want it to ignore the cells instead.
Thanks!
Removing the else statement will actually skip the row, but as soon as you skip a row, all following values in putValues will be on the wrong row. Instead of "skipping", try pushing the already existing value into putValues.
function autoPassPC() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Aug 2020');
// What to put in the test result
var values1 = "P";
// Where to look for Auto:
var enabledDisabled = sheet.getRange("C10:C15" + sheet.getLastRow()).getValues();
var testResultsRange = sheet.getRange("X10:X15" + sheet.getLastRow());
var testResults = testResultsRange.getValues();
// Keyword to look for in Auto: column
var putValues = [];
for (var i = 0; i < enabledDisabled.length; i++) {
if (enabledDisabled[i][0] === "Enabled") {
putValues.push([values1]);
} else {
putValues.push([testResults[i][0]]); // Push the existing cell value
}
}
// Put value1 inside row, column# for test result
testResultsRange.setValues(putValues);
}
You could also try getting the entire table at once thus having only one getValues() call.
I am having trouble executing the Spreadsheet script below.
I think there are two mistakes but I do not know how to fix.
Could anyone help it to fix it?
1:Wildcard
if(original_date=='....-..-..')
2:if synteax
if(original_date=='....-..-..')
{condition="matched"}
Detail
On the spreadsheet, there are two columns.
The first columns have dates in a format as YYYY-MM-DD such as 2020-04-21.
But sometimes, they have different formats such as 04/21/2020.
The second columns are empty.
Only when the first column cell has the "YYYY-MM-DD" format, I want to copy the cell into the second cell in the second column.
*They have 10 rows.
Here is the script.
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Sheet1')
for(let i=1; i<=10; i++)
{
original_date_range = sheet.getRange(i, 1);
original_date = original_date_range.getValue();
cleaned_date_range = sheet.getRange(i, 2);
var condition = "";
if(original_date=='....-..-..')
{condition="matched"}
switch(condition)
{
case "matched":
cleaned_date_range.setValue(original_date);
case "":
cleaned_date_range.setValue("");
break;
}
}
I found the solution by myself.
1.Wildcard
The date "2020-04-25" can be written as /\d{4}.\d{2}.\d{2}/
2.If syntax
(Wildcard).test(string to check) is going to give you true/false output
In summary,
if you want to execute different tasks through the verification of date format such as 2020-04-25,
var sheet1 = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Sheet1')
var limit = sheet1.getLastRow()
for(let i=4; i<=10; i++) //You can add more rows if you have
{
var orignal_date_cell = sheet1.getRange(i, 1);
var orignal_date_cell_value = orignal_date_cell.getValue();
var target_date_cell = sheet1.getRange(i,2);
if ((/\d{4}.\d{2}.\d{2}/).test(orignal_date_cell_value))
{
target_date_cell.setValue(orignal_date_cell_value);
}
}
I have taken a bit of script from Serge which is great (original link here. I have added in a second criteria to exclude certain rows and it works great except, if there is not header in the sheet being copied to, it will not work (error: "The coordinates or dimensions of the range are invalid.") and if I enter a header or some other data, it overwrites it. Can anyone assist please? I have also found that is there is no match to the criteria I get following message "TypeError: Cannot read property "length" from undefined."
Also, what change would I need to make to change the cell 'dataSheetLog[i][12]' to the status variable, i.e. "COPIED" after I have copied it across. I have tried writing a setValue line but it is obviously the wrong instruction for that syntax.
Code is:
{
var Spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheetLog = Spreadsheet.getSheetByName("LOG");
var sheetMaint = Spreadsheet.getSheetByName("MAINTENANCE");
var Alast = sheetLog.getLastRow();
var criteria = "08 - Maintenance"
var status = "COPIED"
var dataSheetLog = sheetLog.getRange(2,1,Alast,sheetLog.getLastColumn()).getValues();
var outData = [];
for (var i in dataSheetLog) {
if (dataSheetLog[i][2]==criteria && dataSheetLog[i][12]!=status){
outData.push(dataSheetLog[i]);
}
}
sheetMaint.getRange(sheetMaint.getLastRow(),1,outData.length,outData[0].length).setValues(outData);
}
In:
sheetMaint.getRange(sheetMaint.getLastRow(),1,outData.length,outData[0].length).setValues(outData);
getLastRow() refers to the last occupied row and should be ,getLastRow() + 1,to keep from overwriting your headers and other problems.
Edited:
{
var Spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheetLog = Spreadsheet.getSheetByName("LOG");
var sheetMaint = Spreadsheet.getSheetByName("MAINTENANCE");
var Alast = sheetLog.getLastRow(); // Log
var criteria = "08 - Maintenance"
var status = "COPIED"
var dataSheetLog = sheetLog.getRange(2,1,Alast,sheetLog.getLastColumn()).getValues(); //Log
var dataSheetLogStatusRange = sheetLog.getRange(2,13,Alast,1); //Log
var dataSheetLogStatus = dataSheetLogStatusRange.getValues(); //Log
var outData = [];
for (var i =0; i < dataSheetLog.length; i++) {
if (dataSheetLog[i][2]==criteria && dataSheetLog[i][12]!=status){
outData.push(dataSheetLog[i]);
dataSheetLogStatus[i][0] = "COPIED";
}
}
if(outData.length > 0) {
sheetMaint.getRange(sheetMaint.getLastRow() + 1,1,outData.length,outData[0].length).setValues(outData);
dataSheetLogStatusRange.setValues(dataSheetLogStatus);
}
}
}
what change would I need to make to change the cell
'dataSheetLog[i][12]' to the status variable, i.e. "COPIED" after I
have copied it across.
You were trying to update the value in the array that was extracted from the sheet and not the sheet itself. As arrays are zero based and spreadsheets are not, to translate, +1 must be added to array row and column indices. I am assuming status is in column M of your sheet.
