Moving row to a completely different spreadsheet when checkbox is checked - checkbox

Hi I have 2 spreadsheets, for example, one is called 'test' and the other 'test1'. I want when checkbox is checked for a row on spreadsheet 'test', the entire row moves to 'test1' spreadsheet. I used this script and it works perfectly if I want the row to move to another sheet in the 'test' spreadsheet.
function onEdit(e) {
const src = e.source.getActiveSheet();
const r = e.range;
if (src.getName() != "New" || r.columnStart != 6 || r.rowStart == 1) return;
const dest = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Complete");
src.getRange(r.rowStart,1,1,6).moveTo(dest.getRange(dest.getLastRow()+1,1,1,6));
src.deleteRow(r.rowStart);
}
But when I change it to this script so the row is moved from 'test' to 'test1' it does not work. I can't seem to figure out the solution. Can anyone help - thanks so much!
function onEdit(e) {
const src = e.source.getActiveSheet();
const r = e.range;
if (src.getName() != "New" || r.columnStart != 6 || r.rowStart == 1) return;
const dest = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet("19D-PzL-
YGdRQbXdGeILMeUbHFJkxeMFan0di7eSqK6E").getSheetByName("Sheet1");
src.getRange(r.rowStart,1,1,6).moveTo(dest.getRange(dest.getLastRow()+1,1,1,6));
src.deleteRow(r.rowStart);
}

How to add two actions to a script / work simultaneously

I have tried time and time again to utilize this same script & formatting to try to also get the "lost" checkbox to move to the "lost" tab (on the same script) and I've been at a loss. Any help on how to get two identical actions/scripts to work simultaneously? My current script allows the checkbox for "sold" to go in a "sold" tab, and i need the same for "lost" if that makes sense.
function onEdit(e) {
let sheet;
if (e.range.columnStart !== 9
|| e.range.rowStart === 2
|| !(sheet = e.range.getSheet()).getName().match(/^(Cynthia|Jenni|Kelsi|Monte)$/i)) {
return;
};
const targetSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Sold');
const targetRange = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
sheet.getRange(e.range.rowStart, 1, 1, 8).moveTo(targetRange);
sheet.deleteRow(e.range.rowStart);
}
I think you should try changing
!(sheet = e.range.getSheet()).getName().match(/^(Cynthia|Jenni|Kelsi|Monte)$/i)
into
!(sheet === e.range.getSheet()).getName().match(/^(Cynthia|Jenni|Kelsi|Monte)$/i)

How to copy data *to the left* of a checked box using Apps Script?

enter image description here
So I have a sheet of names, alternating with a column of checkboxes. I want to be able to click on a box, and then have the name of the left of the checkbox be copied onto a separate sheet. I found some code that could copy data from an entire row, but my issue is that I have rows that alternate with the checkboxes, and if I check one box I only want the name to the left, not the whole row.
function onEdit(event) {
// assumes source data in sheet named main
// target sheet of move to named Completed
// getColumn with check-boxes is currently set to column 4 or D
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var s = event.source.getActiveSheet();
var r = event.source.getActiveRange();
if(s.getName() == "Grid" && r.getColumn() == 3 && r.getValue() == true) {
//Parameters for checked boxes
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Absences");
var target = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1);
s.getRange( 1, 1).offset( 0, -1).copyTo(target);
}
}

Vlookup at Google Apps Script with for loop [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Google Script version of VLookup (More Efficient Method?)
(2 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I need your help please. I would like to do a for loop or something else that works like a Formula =Vlookup
I have two Sheets. in Sheet1 (Overview) there are ID's like 1000, 1002, 1003,...,100X in Column A;
Sheet2 is a Form Response Sheet (Response), where you need to enter your ID and an Action with 'Ok' and 'Nok'. The ID I enter appears in Sheet2 Column B and the Action (Ok/Nok) apperas in Sheet2 Column C.
Now I would like to Copy the Ok/Nok to the Row with the same ID in the Overview sheet with a onFormSubmit function.
for Example. Person with ID 1005 makes a form response with the Action 'Ok'. Now should the 'Ok' copied to the Overview sheet in Column B and in the exact row (in this case: row with the ID 1005).
Here is my function. but I don't want to have formulars in the sheet. so I aked for another solution.
function vlookup() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var cell = sheet.getRange(1,5);
cell.setFormula('=ARRAYFORMULA(IFS(ROW(Response!B:B)=1,"Action from
User",Response!B:B="","",TRUE,IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A:A,Response!B:C,2,0),"Waiting for Response")))');
}
Hope someone can help me.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Thank you for all these answers. I tryed the code from stackoverflow.com/questions/60255775 – TheMaster and that workes fine!
but it seams very complicated for a programming beginner. exspecially the part with the "Hash".
I also added a second compare and copy to get the data from a Reason if the Nok is used in the Form.
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
/**
* #param {GoogleAppsScript.Spreadsheet.Sheet} fromSht -Sheet to import from
* #param {GoogleAppsScript.Spreadsheet.Sheet} toSht -Sheet to import to
* #param {Number} fromCompCol -Column number of fromSht to compare
* #param {Number} toCompCol -Column number of toSht to compare
* #param {Number} fromCol -Column number of fromSht to get result
* #param {Number} toCol -Column number of toSht to get result
*/
function copyToOverview(e,response,
fromSht = ss.getSheetByName('Response'),
toSht = ss.getSheetByName('Overview'),
fromCompCol = 2,
toCompCol = 1,
fromCol = 3,
toCol = 2,
fromColRej = 4,
toColRej = 3
) {
const toShtLr = toSht.getLastRow();
const toCompArr = toSht.getRange(2, toCompCol, toShtLr - 1, 1).getValues();
const fromArr = fromSht.getDataRange().getValues();
fromCompCol--;
fromCol--;
fromColRej--;
/*Create a hash object of fromSheet*/
const obj1 = fromArr.reduce((obj, row) => {
let el = row[fromCompCol];
el in obj ? null : (obj[el] = row[fromCol]);
return obj;
}, {});
/*Create a second hash object of fromSheet to copy the Reason why it is Nok (also from filling out the Form) */
const obj3 = fromArr.reduce((obj2, row) => {
let el1 = row[fromCompCol];
el1 in obj2 ? null : (obj2[el1] = row[fromColRej]);
return obj2;
}, {});
//Paste to column first toSht copy the "ok/nok" second toSht for the Reason why Nok
toSht
.getRange(2, toCol, toShtLr - 1, 1)
.setValues(toCompArr.map(row => (row[0] in obj1 ? [obj1[row[0]]] : [null])));
toSht
.getRange(2, toColRej, toShtLr - 1, 1)
.setValues(toCompArr.map(row => (row[0] in obj3 ? [obj3[row[0]]] : [null])));
}
I also tried the Code from "Michiel the Temp" and it seams, that it also works.
The code from "Mateo Randwolf" looks very simple and I tried it too. Works also very good!
I have modified it a bit and it works like I wish! I think I will use this code.
function onFormSubmit(e) {
// Get the sheet where the form responses are submitted and the one where we want to check the IDs
var formSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Response');
var destinationSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Overview');
// Get the new incoming data (ID and Ok/Nok) with each form submit by accessing
// the trigger object e which is the submited and new form response row
var submittedId = formSheet.getRange(e.range.getRow(), 2).getValue();
var submittedValue = formSheet.getRange(e.range.getRow(), 3).getValue();
var submittedValueReason = formSheet.getRange(e.range.getRow(), 4).getValue();
// get all the ID values we have in the sheet we want to check them. flat will convert all the returning
// 2D array of values in a 1D array with all the IDs
var idRange = destinationSheet.getRange(1, 1, destinationSheet.getLastRow(),1).getValues().flat();
// iterate over all your IDs
for(i=0;i<idRange.length;i++){
// if one ID is the same as the incoming one from the form response
if(idRange[i] == submittedId){
// set its value to the one submitted by the form
destinationSheet.getRange(i+1, 2).setValue(submittedValue);
}
if(idRange[i] == submittedId){
destinationSheet.getRange(i+1, 3).setValue(submittedValueReason);
destinationSheet.getRange(i+1, 2).getValue() == "Nok" ? destinationSheet.getRange(i+1, 4).setValue("Closed") : destinationSheet.getRange(i+1, 4).setValue("Open");
}
}
}
Thank you all for the Help you are amazing!
So I can do my next step in the Project with updating checkboxes in the Form.
I didn't test this with a trigger but this should work
function vlookup() {
var ssOverview = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Overview");
var ssOverviewLr = ssOverview.getLastRow();
var ssOverviewData = ssOverview.getRange(2, 1, ssOverviewLr, 1).getValues(); //assuming you have a header in the first row
var ssResponse = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Response");
var ssResponseLr = ssResponse.getLastRow();
var newResponse = ssResponse.getRange(ssResponseLr, 2, 1, 2).getValues();
var Ids = ssOverviewData.map(function (r){return r[0];});
for(var i = 0; i < newResponse.length; i++)
{
var row = newResponse[i];
var id = row[0];
var action = row[1];
var index = Ids.indexOf(id);
if(index == -1)
{
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().toast("No matches", "Be aware")
}
else
{
ssOverview.getRange(index + 2, 2).setValue(action); //this puts the action in column B
}
}
}
In order to check the IDs every time there is a new form submission and change the data in the ID sheet accordingly you will need to use installable triggers. Specifically you should use a FormSubmit trigger which triggers the function every time there is a form submission. Along with this trigger you will use its event object.
To add an installable trigger, in your Apps Script editor go to Edit -> Current project's triggers and create a new trigger by clicking Add trigger. Make sure that you select On form submit as the event type and that you select the function presented below (so please first copy/paste the function below before creating your trigger).
The following function takes use of this trigger event to compare the incoming data to your Column A of IDs and check for matches and if so it adds the relevant Ok/Nok information. It has self explanatory comments:
function onFormSubmit(e) {
// Get the sheet where the form responses are submitted and the one where we want to check the IDs
var formSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Form Responses 1');
var destinationSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Check');
// Get the new incoming data (ID and Ok/Nok) with each form submit by accessing
// the trigger object e which is the submited and new form response row
var submittedId = formSheet.getRange(e.range.getRow(), 2).getValue();
var submittedValue = formSheet.getRange(e.range.getRow(), 3).getValue();
// get all the ID values we have in the sheet we want to check them. flat will convert all the returning
// 2D array of values in a 1D array with all the IDs
var idRange = destinationSheet.getRange(1, 1, destinationSheet.getLastRow(),1).getValues().flat();
// iterate over all your IDs
for(i=0;i<idRange.length;i++){
// if one ID is the same as the incoming one from the form response
if(idRange[i] == submittedId){
// set its value to the one submitted by the form
destinationSheet.getRange(i+1, 2).setValue(submittedValue);
}
}
}

On edit trigger that inserts timestamp dependant on checkbox value

I'm trying to develop an inventory sheet for my company I work for in Google Sheets. In the system, I'm wanting if a checkbox in Column C is ticked it will display the "checked out time" in Column D, and if unticked will display the "checked in time" in Column E. However, I'm wanting when the item is checked in, the checked out date/ time cell turns back to blank.
I've used this custom function script to create a TIMESTAMP function that works, but every time the spreadsheet is reopened is recalculates all the date to the current date/time. Any way of making it non-volatile?
function timestamp() {
return Date();
}
Would I need a onedit trigger that could do what I described above?
WARNING: I'm not scripting savvy at all.I've been scouring the forums for the past week and can't get anything that works. Any help would be greatly appreciated :D
Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Oj6eustjvk9opXFNR2jHa0uMjPnKVXsvwOxFjb1t7-8/edit?usp=sharing
Here is the code i used for exact same scenario.
probably not the most efficient code but it works,
you can adjust it to your needs
var timezone = "GMT-0400";
var timestamp_format = "MM/dd/yyyy HH:00"; // Timestamp Format.
function onEdit() {
var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
if( s.getName() == "Sheet1" ) { //checks that we're on the correct sheet
var r = s.getActiveCell(); //watches edited cell
if( r.getColumn() == 2 ) { //checks if edit is in column 2,
var nextCell = r.offset(0, 2);
if( r.getValue() === false)
nextCell.setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
if( r.getColumn() == 2 ) { //checks the column
var nextCell = r.offset(0, 1);
if( r.getValue() === true)
nextCell.setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat("MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss");
if( r.getValue() === false)
Browser.msgBox("Data refreshed.");
};
};
}
}

Improve function delete rows by contain value

I have working code, that delete row from sheet if column corresponds to one of the conditions. It based on arrays and because of it works much more faster than standard google sheet deleteRow function. I call it like this:
deleteRowsBV('SIZ',4,'0','')
where
deleteRowsBV(listName,ColNum,FirstSearch,SecondSearch)
What I want is a call function with more or less and equal signs, like this:
deleteRowsBV('SIZ',4,<='0',=='')
But in case of my main function, it doesn't work, when I specify a variable instead of a sign and a value.
Here is main function:
function deleteRowsBV(listName,ColNum,FirstSearch,SecondSearch) {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(listName);
var DataLengBefore = sheet.getLastRow();
var DataColLeng = sheet.getLastColumn();
var data = sheet.getRange(1,1,DataLengBefore,DataColLeng).getValues();
for (var i = data.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
if (data[i][ColNum] <= FirstSearch||data[i][ColNum] == SecondSearch) {
data.splice(i, 1);
}
}
sheet.getRange(10, 1, DataLengBefore,DataColLeng).clearContent();
sheet.getRange(10, 1,data.length,5).setValues(data);
}
Based from this related post, spreadsheet rows and columns are numbered starting at 1, for all methods in the SpreadsheetApp, while javascript arrays start numbering from 0. You need to adjust between those numeric bases when working with both. When deleting rows, the size of the spreadsheet dataRange will get smaller; you did take that into account, but because you're looping up to the maximum size, the code is complicated by this requirement. You can simplify things by looping down from the maximum.
You may refer with this thread. However, this only looks at the value from a single cell edit now and not the values in the whole sheet.
function onEdit(e) {
//Logger.log(JSON.stringify(e));
//{"source":{},"range":{"rowStart":1,"rowEnd":1,"columnEnd":1,"columnStart":1},"value":"1","user":{"email":"","nickname":""},"authMode":{}}
try {
var ss = e.source; // Just pull the spreadsheet object from the one already being passed to onEdit
var s = ss.getActiveSheet();
// Conditions are by sheet and a single cell in a certain column
if (s.getName() == 'Sheet1' && // change to your own
e.range.columnStart == 3 && e.range.columnEnd == 3 && // only look at edits happening in col C which is 3
e.range.rowStart == e.range.rowEnd ) { // only look at single row edits which will equal a single cell
checkCellValue(e);
}
} catch (error) { Logger.log(error); }
};
function checkCellValue(e) {
if ( !e.value || e.value == 0) { // Delete if value is zero or empty
e.source.getActiveSheet().deleteRow(e.range.rowStart);
}
}
