I have an existing google spreadsheet + script which was working perfectly. But suddenly stopped working since 1 week back.
In a sheet of my spreadsheet I am using the following command to download 200 days of historical stock prices:
=googlefinance(B1,ʺcloseʺ,today()-200,today()) ; //cell B1 contains the ticker symbol. It populates the values from cell B3 – B142
Now I have a script, in which I am first setting the value of cell B1. Wait for 10 seconds. Then I extract the value of a specific cell (containing a historical price).
var xyz = sheet.getRange('B100').getValues();
This line is not working. When I print the value of xyz it is always empty. However if I pull any other static value from the sheet, I get the value correctly. Any insights, very appreciated.
This is unfortunately not supported through the Sheets API or scripts. See https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2016/09/historical-googlefinance-data-no-longer.html for details.

I use Coingecko's importJSON code to load data into a Google Sheet. The last parameter of the url (see below) is called 'doNotDelete!$A$!'. If I run the importJSON function in my sheet a numeric value in cell A1 of the tab doNotDelete shows up. What does this number mean? Is it the number of seconds that past since last execution? There is no explanation about it in the Coingecko's article about their API ImportJSON function for Google Sheets.
=ImportJSON("https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/markets?vs_currency=usd&order=market_cap_desc&per_page=250&page=2&sparkline=false","/name,/current_price,/market_cap,/price_change,/total_volume,/high_24h,/low_24h","noTruncate,noHeaders",doNotDelete!$A$1)
When the value of this cell changes ImportJSON gets updated values from the API. It doesn't have any meaningful value, your autorefresh script should change that to a random value whenever it is run.
It's not coingecko's script, it is from here and it is currently unmaintained, so if google changes the behavior of any of the used functions it can stop working.
I have spreadsheet and I'm basically going to use it for inventory tracking and management.
In one sheet I'll have an app on my phone fill a list when it reads
a QR code.
In the second sheet there is also a list with the
specific QR codes of each item.
I need to know when a cell in the first sheet has been updated and put that information in the following two cells.
I'm using this trigger to check if ANY cell in the document has been updated.
function cellEditTrigger()
{
ScriptApp.newTrigger('coolFunction').forSpreadsheet('awsomeSpreadsheetID').onEdit().create();
}
It works fine and it runs the 'coolFunction' function. However I can't seem to be able to get the time and date for the cells that have been edited and put that information in the next two cells.
I know I could use onEdit(e), but I still can't get the information from e.range and I would like my script to not have to be bound to the Spreadsheet.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Is there any way to find the last row you have written in a google spreadsheet in Java?
I tried to do that by having a variable which I keep in another file and I update that every time I do another writing. Is there any other way?
Finding last written row in Google Spreadsheet API
I'll give you a concept first using REST calls but you'll have to apply that in Java.
Exceed the range of cells where you're writing.
So to find last written row between cells A1:A10, use the range A1:A11 or A1:B (using B means all the rows in cell A will be traversed).
Fetch a range of cells, using GET. Parse the response result. And get the length of the parsed values. The length will always indicate the last row since Sheetsv4 ignores blank/empty cells.
So example I have a range of cells between A1:A10. I wrote "hello" in A10. Following the concepts above I do this:
..
xhr.open('GET', 'https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/'+myspreadsheetId+'/values/Sheet1!A1:A10);
..
xhr.onload = function (oEvent) {
arrayBuffer = xhr.response;
myArray = JSON.parse(arrayBuffer);
console.log("last row is " + myArray.values.length)
.. //output is 'last row is 10'
This part of my XHR request returns 10. Now I know that the last written row in my sheet is A10.
To do this in Java use the solution based on this SO thread.
mService.spreadsheets().values().get("ID_SHEET", "Sheet1!A1:B").execute();
Also check this thread about writing on data cells using Java. I think it offers additional insight as well.
I have two sheets on my template. Sheet one contains a SKU in column A and a descr. in column B
On sheet 2, I have a pre-written template that has generic SKU and Description. That means under the item sku, it says D999 and under the description it says xxx.
I want to replace "999" with the value in A2 on my first sheet, but the 999 is in multiple columns through the sheet. Next, I want to replace the "xxx" with the data in B2 from sheet 1. I can't seem to find a VBA code that will do this specifically.
Lastly, once the find and replaces are done, I need to have it save me a new workbook using sheet2, in the same format, and name it as the value in A4 on sheet 2. I think you should be able to find the workbook here My Workbook
Basically, I want to be able to enter a bulk amount of new SKUs and Description, and be able to generate a new workbook for each SKU I enter. Right now I have 78 waiting to have sheets made.
In the cell to the right of the cells where you want to type in the SKU, add the following formula: =Match(A2, LookupsheetName!B:B,0). This will return the row the SKU was found on. In the next cell to the right use the Index function: =Index(LookupSheetName!A1:B1000, B2, 0). This will bring the label in column B to the current page. The Match function locates the row the SKU was found on.
Try these for looking up the information, because they are more efficient than VLookups.
The code for copying a worksheet to another workbook can be created using the Macro recorder on the Developer tab. Turn the recorder on then do the steps to manually move/copy to another workbook. When done, open the VBA editor and figure out how to save the workbook to a new name each time.
Good luck.
I have one sheet which is comprised of data that was imported from a web page. In a second sheet I have a cell asking for min price and max price which comes from the imported data. The issue is that the data can move to different cells when it's refreshed so my code needs to look for some specific wording to find the prices that I need rather than just directing it to the same cell each time
The info in the imported data sheet which I need to extract from will always be in this string of text which will always be found somewhere between row 15-35 but will move when the website is refreshed. The 1st number (71.00) needs to be extracted to another sheet in a cell asking for min price while the second number (75.00) is the max price. These prices can change so I can just look for those numbers and extract them.
SLAUGHTER BULLS: Yield grade 1-2 1000-1500 lbs
1500-2000 lbs 71.00-75.00.
Could someone please help me with the coding for this macro?
Use the InStrRev function (similar to the LastIndexOf function in .NET) to find the last index of "lbs" in the test string.
lastIndex = InStrRev(testString, "lbs", 1, 1)
Then search from that last index to the end of the string spliting on the -
splitArray = Split(Mid(testString, lastIndex, Len(testString) - lastIndex), "-", 1)
The lowest value will be in splitArray(0) and the upper value will be in splitArray(1) assuming a zero indexed array.
