In DataTables, I'm using the following function:
"createdCell": function (td, cellData, rowData, row, col) {
var row_student = XXXXXXXXX
$(td).attr('id', row_student);
}
This is cell 10. I need the value from cell 9 (which will be row_student). So, how do I get the value from cell 9, in the current row?
Just needed to make the var line:
var student_row = rowData[col-1];

I'm trying to get my sheet to automatically recalculate a set of dates within a schedule, in both directions, when a cell is changed.
The code works fine, but I need to add a bunch more columns and I'd really rather not copy/paste/find/replace a load more times. I'm fairly certain I can do this with variables (just looking up the column identifier and feeding that into the code somehow), but I don't know-how.
functJon onEdJt(e) {
var sh = e.source.getActJveSheet();
Jf(sh.getName() === 'Date Calculator' && e.range.getA1NotatJon() === 'C9'
)
{
sh.getRange("C10").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C9,+$C$3)");
sh.getRange("C11").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C10,+10)");
sh.getRange("C12").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C11,+$C$4)");
sh.getRange("C13").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C12,+$C$3)");
sh.getRange("C14").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C13,+10)");
sh.getRange("C15").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C14,+1)");
sh.getRange("C16").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C15,+$C$5)");
}
else Jf (sh.getName() === 'Date Calculator' && e.range.getA1NotatJon()
=== 'C10' )
{
sh.getRange("C9").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C10,-$C$3)");
sh.getRange("C11").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C10,+10)");
sh.getRange("C12").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C11,+$C$4)");
sh.getRange("C13").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C12,+$C$3)");
sh.getRange("C14").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C13,+10)");
sh.getRange("C15").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C14,+1)");
sh.getRange("C16").setFormula("=WORKDAY(C15,+$C$5)");
Ideally the code should then just "work" for any number of columns in the sheet, so I don't need to add more code if I add more columns.
Update
Here's an example of what I'm trying (but it's not working) - attempting to check that the active cell is in row 9 of a specific column before then running the "set.Formula" functions:
function onEdit(e) {
var sh = e.source.getActiveSheet();
var col = e.source.getActiveSheet().getRange().getColumn();
var row = e.source.getActiveSheet().getRange().getRow();
if(sh.getName() === 'Date Calculator' && e.getRange('9',col) )
Event Objects
Even though the code was written as onEdit(e), you didn't take advantage of the Event Objects.
In this answer, the code returns the new value of the edited cell and also the range. The range is then used to work out the row, column and sheet name and these is used for validation as well as for building the ranges and the setFormula
Variables
The code includes variables for the valid range of columns that can be used for data entry (Column C to Column H), and respective input rows (rows 9 and 10). These are expressed as values, but they could just as easily be written into the spreadsheet as assumptions and the values obtained in the code by using getValue.
The absolute cell references used in the setFormula are partly variable (column reference) and part hard-coded (the respective rows-3,4 and 5). If desired, the rows could be variable as well.
Efficiency
There is just one if statement containing one version of the code to build setFormula.
This is achieved by designing the if statement:
1. if the sheet = "Date Calculator" AND
2. if the editColumn is between the valid ColumnStart and ColumnEnd values (Column C to H) AND
3. if the editRow is between the valid Row values (rows 9 or 10) AND
4. if the edited value isn't a blank (length != 0).
The last condition ("edited value is blank") ensures that if cell contents are been deleted (and/or have no value), then the code won't proceed.
Convert column number to letter
I used a routine written by #AdamL found at Convert column index into corresponding column letter; this converts a column number into a letter. It's used to build the "targetcolumn" address in Workdays. It's valid for the letters A-Z; there's a version for letters beyond Z.
Cleanup
If data is entered into row 10 of a given column, then any value in row 9 (of the same column) needs to be deleted. The code does this and also deletes any pre-existing formula dates in the rows below so there is no confusion about the dates derived by the data entry.
function onEdit(e){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheetname = "Date Calculator";
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(sheetname);
// get the event source data
var editedCell = e.range;
var editRow = editedCell.getRow();
var editCol = editedCell.getColumn();
var eValue = e.value;
var editedSheet = editedCell.getSheet().getName();
//Logger.log("DEBUG: the cell = "+editedCell.getA1Notation()+", the column = "+editCol+", the row is "+editRow+", the value is "+eValue+", the edited sheet is "+editedSheet);
// create some variables for column and row range
var columnStart = 3; // Column C
var columnEnd = 8; // Column H
var rowOption1 = 9; // row 9
var rowOption2 = 10 // row 10
// create some variables for target cells
var absolutecolumn = "C";
//var absoluterow1 = 3; // not used
//var absoluterow2 = 4; // not used
//var absoluterow3 = 5; // not used
// test for valid edit in row option 1 // Row 9
if(editedSheet === sheetname && columnEnd >=editCol && editCol>=columnStart && rowOption2>=editRow && editRow>=rowOption1 && eValue.length !=0 ){
//Logger.log("DEBUG: You got the right sheet, the edit is in the right range of columns and the edited row was = "+rowOption1);
if (editRow == rowOption2){
// clear row 9
sheet.getRange((+editRow-1),editCol).clear();
}
// clear following 8 rows of data
sheet.getRange((+editRow+1),editCol,8).clear();
// set the targetcolumn as a letter
var targetcolumn = columnToLetter(editCol);
// set formula for row+1
sheet.getRange((+editRow+1),editCol).setFormula("=WORKDAY("+targetcolumn+editRow+",$"+absolutecolumn+"$3)"); //
// set formula row +2
sheet.getRange((+editRow+2),editCol).setFormula("=WORKDAY("+targetcolumn+(+editRow+1)+",+10)");
// set formula row +3
sheet.getRange((+editRow+3),editCol).setFormula("=WORKDAY("+targetcolumn+(+editRow+2)+",$"+absolutecolumn+"$4)");
// set formula row +4
sheet.getRange((+editRow+4),editCol).setFormula("=WORKDAY("+targetcolumn+(+editRow+3)+",$"+absolutecolumn+"$3)");
// set formula row + 5
sheet.getRange((+editRow+5),editCol).setFormula("=WORKDAY("+targetcolumn+(+editRow+4)+",+10)");
// set formula row + 6
sheet.getRange((+editRow+6),editCol).setFormula("=WORKDAY("+targetcolumn+(+editRow+5)+",+1)");
// set formula row + 7
sheet.getRange((+editRow+7),editCol).setFormula("=WORKDAY("+targetcolumn+(+editRow+6)+",$"+absolutecolumn+"$5)");
// change the background to show entry in rowoption1
sheet.getRange(editRow,editCol).setBackground("yellow");
sheet.getRange((+editRow+1),editCol).setBackground("white");
}
}
function columnToLetter(column)
{
var temp, letter = '';
while (column > 0)
{
temp = (column - 1) % 26;
letter = String.fromCharCode(temp + 65) + letter;
column = (column - temp - 1) / 26;
}
return letter;
}
Screenshot
Using the following code I cannot increment a value in google sheets to be plus one.
function incrementCellValuesByOne() {
// Increments the values in all the cells in the active range (i.e., selected cells).
// Numbers increase by one, text strings get a "1" appended.
// Cells that contain a formula are ignored.
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var activeRange = ss.getActiveRange();
var cell, cellValue, cellFormula;
// iterate through all cells in the active range
for (var cellRow = 1; cellRow <= activeRange.getHeight(); cellRow++) {
for (var cellColumn = 1; cellColumn <= activeRange.getWidth(); cellColumn++) {
cell = activeRange.getCell(cellRow, cellColumn);
cellFormula = cell.getFormula();
// if not a formula, increment numbers by one, or add "1" to text strings
// if the leftmost character is "=", it contains a formula and is ignored
// otherwise, the cell contains a constant and is safe to increment
// does not work correctly with cells that start with '=
if (cellFormula[0] != "=") {
cellValue = cell.getValue();
cellValue =+cellValue
cell.setValue(cellValue + 1);
}
}
}
}
For example "personalDataDOB_3" needs to become "personalDaTaDOB_4" I'm looking for a fast way to do this as right now I need to replace the value by typing.
You want to modify "personalDataDOB_3" of a certain cell to "personalDaTaDOB_4". If my understanding is correct, how about this modification?
Modification points :
When the retrieved "personalDataDOB_3" is converted to the number using cellValue =+cellValue, NaN is returned. So even if 1 was added, the result is NaN.
If the format of strings you want to modify is always "personalDataDOB_#", how about separating the string by _?
In order to reflect above points, please modify your script as follows.
From :
if (cellFormula[0] != "=") {
cellValue = cell.getValue();
cellValue =+cellValue
cell.setValue(cellValue + 1);
}
To :
if (cellFormula[0] != "=") {
cellValue = cell.getValue();
var temp = cellValue.split("_"); // Added
temp[1] = Number(temp[1]) + 1; // Added
cell.setValue(temp.join("_")); // Modified
}
Note :
If the format of strings you want to modify is always changed, please tell me.
If I misunderstand your question, I'm sorry.
I've written a code on google scripts that should update a cell on a sheet if another cell is updated with the phrase "vendio" (sold in Spanish). After it reads that "vendio" has been entered, it finds the price of the cell 4 rows over and adds it to the cell that is keeping track of total sales.
function TotalSales() {
/*
#OnlyCurrentDoc
*/
//Get Current Google Sheet, Get Active Sheet Tab.
//finds current active sheet
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
//find current active cell
var cell = ss.getActiveCell();
//find row number of active cell
var row = cell.getRow();
//defines a variable to the cell adjacent to where "vendio" is
var H_cell = ss.getRange(row,8);
//gets value of Column H cell adjacent to where "vendio" is
var H_value = H_cell.getValue();
//find the range of N5 cell
var N5_cell = ss.getRange("N5");
//Gets value inside N5 Range
var N5_value = N5_cell.getValue();
if(cell.getValue() == "vendio") { //cell.getValue() gets value in the active cell
sum_value = H_value + N5_value; // sums value of adjacent cell to vendio and value of an cell thats keeping count
N5_cell.setValue(sum_value); //sets N5 value to the sum of N5 and H(row)
} else {
N5_cell.setValue(N5_value);
};
}
function onEdit(){
TotalSales();
};
Nevermind I edited my code and changed the function onEdit to match the name of the function my code is running inside. I've left it on here for anyone else to see.
I have been checking out multiple codes on trying to update my Google Spreadsheet but have been unsuccessful when trying to do this with multiple cells. On my spreadsheet I have multiple tabs and when I update a row in column 2,3 or 4, I would like it to enter the date in column 5.
Thank you for your help.
Step 1.
In the Google Spreadsheet, click on "Script editor..." under the "Tools" menu.
Step 2.
Remove any sample script that might be in there and paste the following ...
// Sets the targetColumn on the edited row to the current date if the
// edited column in within columnBounds.
// Note: This will only handle single cell editing.
// Columns that need to be monitored for changes. Use CAPITAL letters.
var monitoredColumns = ['B', 'C', 'D'];
// Colum that will receive the date.
var targetColumn = 'E'
// To avoid adding the date in the title row, we need to consider the starting row.
var startingRow = 4
// onEdit() is a reserved function name that will be called every time the sheet will be edited.
function onEdit(e) {
var range = e.range;
// Row of the edited cell.
var row = range.getRow();
// Column of the edited cell.
var col = String.fromCharCode(64 + range.getColumn());
if (row < startingRow) {
// None of the monitored rows have been edited.
return;
}
if (monitoredColumns.indexOf(col) < 0) {
// Column B, C or D (2, 3 or 4) was not modified.
// Do not proceed any further.
return;
}
// Current spreadsheet.
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
// Date cell.
var dateCell = sheet.getRange(targetColumn + range.getRow());
// Set it to the current date.
dateCell.setValue(new Date());
}
Step 3
Adjust the values of monitoredColumns, targetColumn and startingRow
Step 4
Start entering some content in the cells.
I have some cells (that are non-adjacenet). Each of these has a range name in the form "rLampnn" as below.
ss.getRangeByName("rLamp20").setValue(e.range.getValue());
ss.getRangeByName("rLamp19").setValue(e.range.getValue());
ss.getRangeByName("rLamp18").setValue(e.range.getValue());
I want to put the same value into several of them at once. (Each of them then has a conditional format which changes the cell colour depending on what was entered into them).
Is there a more efficient way (i.e. quicker) of setting the same value into a group of these cells rather than individual calls like above?
If you have many of them you could loop .setValue() using the nn index in the named ranges:
var fName = 'rLamp';
var howManyNamedRanges = 20;
// Assuming the first NamedRange is rLamp0
for (var i=0;i<howManyNamedRanges;i++) {
ss.getRangeByName(fName+i).setValue(e.range.getValue());
}
If the first named ranges is 1 or else you could change it to:
var fName = 'rLamp';
var firstNamedRange = 4;
var lastNamedRange = 20;
// Assuming the first NamedRange is rLamp[n]
for (var i=firstNamedRange;i<=lastNamedRange;i++) {
ss.getRangeByName(fName+i).setValue(e.range.getValue());
}
