I've developed a Google Apps script to pull some data from a custom object in Salesforce and have my columns in this order:
SELECT Component__r.Name, Component__c, Product__c, Story_Name__c, Description__c, id , Product_Id__c, Priority__c , StoryName FROM Story__c WHERE Product_Id__c
However, my results into a Google Spreadsheet come in this order:
StoryName Component__r Component__c Product__c Product_Id__c Priority__c Id Description__c Story_Name__c
I'm told that it's no unusual for SOQL queries to return data in a different order than the query. Do anyone know of a method/function/process to use to get the columns to appear on the spreadsheet in the order of the query? I'd like to do it prior to placing the columns on the spreadsheet, but if there's no other method, that's ok.
My data is pulled back in this function:
function renderGridData(object, renderHeaders){
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = [];
var sObjectAttributes = {};
//Need to always build headers for row length/rendering
var headers = buildHeaders(object.records);
if(renderHeaders){
data.push(headers);
}
for (var i in object.records) {
var values = [];
for(var j in object.records[i]){
if(j!="attributes"){
values.push(object.records[i][j]);
} else {
var id = object.records[i][j].url.substr(object.records[i][j].url.length-18,18);
//Logger.log(id);
sObjectAttributes[id] = object.records[i][j].type;
}
}
data.push(values);
}
Logger.log(sheet.getLastRow());
var destinationRange = sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow()+1, 1, data.length, headers.length);
destinationRange.setValues(data);
}
Thanks for any advice.
The Partner SOAP APi is the only API that will try to preserve the field order from the query into the results structure.
For JSON based responses from the REST API, JSON specifically says that objects key/values are unordered, so a response that would preserve the order would need to use a different JSON structure (an array of key/value objects) which would be significantly more verbose.

The situation:
I am trying to load a dataset and then add additional criteria (filters) to the dataset based off users selected fields. The whole dev is a "Custom Report" build using a suitlete that has some fields the user can populate to choose "dynamic filters". When they click on the generate button I add the criteria/filters to a search and dataset and then join the results and display them.
The issue is that while I am able to add filters to the search after I load it no matter what I try I can't seem to add filters to the Dataset.
This code gets the dataset Data:
var datasetData = datasetLib.load({ id: datasetId });
resultSet.pageRanges.forEach(function (pageRange) {
// Fetch the results on the current page
var myPage = resultSet.fetch({ index: pageRange.index });
res.data = res.data.concat(myPage.data.results);
if (res.columns.length < 1) {
var columns = JSON.parse(myPage.pagedData.queryDefinition).columns;
for (var i = 0; i < columns.length; i++) {
res.columns.push(columns[i].label);
}
}
});
I attempted many different iterations to create the condition... here is one:
dataset.createCondition({
column: datasetData.columns[0], // I loaded the dataset and use it to reference the column
operator: query.Operator.ANY_OF,
values: params.customer.split(',')
})
Now the above code DOSE create a condition but when I attempt to add it into the dataset's current conditions I receive errors.I am attempting to push it into the child parameter of the parent criteria.
Please ask if you need more info...
If using a workbook is fine then I would suggest you to load the workbook using your above dataset using the query module and then use the above createCondition to add the condition to the loaded query dynamically.
var myLoadedQuery = query.load({
id: 'custworkbook237'
});
var mySalesRepJoin = myLoadedQuery.autoJoin({
fieldId: 'salesrep'
});
var thirdCondition = mySalesRepJoin.createCondition({
fieldId: 'email,
operator: query.Operator.START_WITH_NOT,
values: 'foo'
});
I would also urge to ensure the joins are accurately represented by looking at the Records catalog via Setup>Records Catalog. Hope this helps.
I'm pretty new, so bear with me.
I'm making a Google script that will let me call the TMDb API and get some information from a movie list I'm compiling for myself. I'm trying to get all the values to automatically fill by just using the TMDB ID.
After struggling, I found it was easiest to create a function for each column I want to fill (title, date, genre, poster url, etc.) and pass the input from the cell in the spreadsheet to be able to retrieve the info, then return the data to that cell.
I can't figure it out though, when it comes to the "genre" category, because it's in an array.
Here's my code that works for a different column:
function getPoster(input) {
var movieID = input
// Call the TMDB API for movie details
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/" + movieID + "?api_key=<<mykey>>");
// Parse the JSON reply
var json = response.getContentText();
var data = JSON.parse(json);
return data["poster_path"];
}
Using the API data:
"poster_path":"/hXLScIERphkTsMGdfKKvF4p4SPB.jpg",
However, the "genre" category lists them as an array:
"genres":[{"id":28,"name":"Action"},{"id":18,"name":"Drama"},{"id":53,"name":"Thriller"}],
How can I write the return so that it sends a string with the shown genres "Action, Drama, Thriller" into the single corresponding cell (not spilling into adjacent cells), while also ignoring the "id"?
you need to create an array from the genre's name values.
use this snippet:
var genres = [{"id":28,"name":"Action"},{"id":18,"name":"Drama"},{"id":53,"name":"Thriller"}];
// Return "Action, Drama, Thriller" as a string into a single cell
return genres.map(function(genre){
return genre.name;
}).join(", ");
Sample output when printed:
Using Parse.com and its Cloud code, I want to fetch users that are not in array of users.
...
var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
query.notContainedIn("objectId", request.object.get("recipients"));
...
query.find().then(
function(results) {
console.log("# of users:" + results.length);
},
function(error) {
console.error(error)
}
);
The constraint notContainedIn doesn't seem to work, all users are returned, not just the ones not contained in the recipients array coming as part of the request object.
The recipients array in REST request is defined like this
"recipients":[
{"__type":"Pointer","className":"_User","objectId":"qwerty1234"},
{"__type":"Pointer","className":"_User","objectId":"asdfgh1234"}]
The data I get as part of the request is ok, because e.g. request.object.get("recipients")[0].id returns the qwerty1234 value.
What am I doing wrong here?
You are asking parse to compare the objectId to an array of pointers. This would work fine if the column was a Pointer to a User, but you're using just the ID.
The easy solution is to map or extract the ID from the array of pointers, e.g.
// at the top, so you can use the Underscore library
var _ = require('underscore');
// ...
// in your Cloud function
var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
// _.pluck() creates an array of a property from each object in the parent array
var recipientObjectIds = _.pluck(request.object.get('recipients'), 'objectId');
query.notContainedIn('objectId', recipientObjectIds);
I am writing an application that pulls task data (for a task management system) from rows in a Google Spreadsheet with conditions matching a query. I then send this data into a flexTable next to a checkbox with an onClickHandler as well as a textbox to enter in hours data. Below is the simplest example of how I have achieved this:
\\establish handler for checkboxes that are generated in flexTable
var updateHandler = app.createServerClickHandler('updateTasksfunc');
updateHandler.addCallbackElement(taskTable);
\\search Google Spreadsheet for rows matching condition
for(var i=1; i< taskData.length; i++){
if (taskData [i][1] !=employee){
continue;
}
\\look up if task is already completed, and set checkbox value to true/false
var complete = taskData[i][8].toString();
if(complete==="true"){var checkbox=true;}else{var checkbox=false;}
\\populate flexTable with values from spreadsheet query
taskTable.setWidget(i,0,app.createTextBox().setName('hours'+i).setWidth('50').setId("hour"+i)).setWidget(i,1,app.createCheckBox().setValue(checkbox).setName('complete'+i).addClickHandler(updateHandler)).setWidget(i,2,app.createLabel(taskData[i][2]).setWidth('250')).setWidget(i,3,app.createLabel(taskData[i][3]).setWidth('250')).setWidget(i,4,app.createLabel(taskData[i][4])).setWidget(i,5,app.createLabel(taskData[i][5])).setWidget(i,6,app.createLabel(taskData[i][6])).setWidget(i,7,app.createLabel(taskData[i][7])).setWidget(i,8,app.createTextBox().setVisible(false).setName("dataRow"+i).setValue(i))
}
\edits to doGet()
var numberOfItems = app.createTextBox().setName('rows').setValue(i).setVisible(false);
var rows1 = i+1;
taskTable.setWidget(rows1,0,numberOfItems)
I have stored the spreadsheet data row in the invisible textbox in column 8 of the flex table that I intend to use in the clickHandler function to update the Google Spreadsheet.
I have successfully activated a click handler that runs when a checkbox is clicked; however, I have not yet successfully figured out a way to grab data from the flexTable that I can use to update the Spreadsheet.
//Functional code below
function updateTasksfunc(e){
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var taskSS = SpreadsheetApp.openById('SPREADSHEETID');
var taskSH = taskSS.getSheets()[0];
var taskData = taskSS.getDataRange().getValues();
var results = [];// an array to collect results
var numberOfItems = e.parameter.rows;
app.add(app.createLabel(numberOfItems));
for(var n=0;n<numberOfItems;n++){
results.push([e.parameter['check'+n]]);// each element is an array of 2 values
}
for(var i=1;i<results.length;i++){
var check = results[i][0];
var row = i+1;
taskSH.getRange(row,9,1,1).setValue(check);
}
return app;
}
I am getting a generic error: cannot find function getRowCount() from generic.
I assume that this means that I am not properly calling my flexTable.
Any thoughts??
flextables are not working like spreadsheets, you can't get widgets values directly as part of the table. You have to get every textBox and checkBox separately using e.parameter.Name.
You can do that easily in a loop but you'll have to know the number of textBoxes to be able to rebuild the names just as you did to create them in the doGet function.
I would suggest to store this number in a tag on one of your widget or in a separate hidden widget (hidden class or invisible textBox). Then you will be able to get the values like this :
...
var results = [];// an array to collect results
var numberOfItems = Number(e.parameter.itemNumbers); // this is the var you are missing right now and need to add. This is the solution of a separate hidden widget
for(var n=0;n<numberOfItems;n++){
results.push([e.parameter['hours'+n],e.parameter['complete'+n]]);// each element is an array of 2 values
}
... // from here you will have an 2D array with all your values and you can continue like you did=.
I'm trying to create a website where users can come and look for a set of resources, something like a portal, or a database like JSTOR. I am using Weebly; this website will eventually be turned over to someone who does not know computers well, so I'm trying to keep things simple (and free, where doable).
My thought was to use Google Spreadsheets/Forms to handle the input and storage of the data for each individual resources (Title, Author, Type, Topic, Country, etc.), and then find some some method of creating a search function that could placed on the website. Any user could arrive at the site, put in whatever criteria they want to look for, and any resources in the database would be listed out for the user to further investigate. Users would not be adding data to the spreadsheets; only querying it for data.
My first question is such a script/arrangement possible and can it be embedded into a website page? My second question is what would the best approach be?
Yes this is certainly possible, but can achieved in a variety of ways.
One approach you could take with this is to retrieve all the data from the spreadsheet as JSON format and add it to the DOM as a HTML table. Then you can use a nice plugin like dataTables which has a pretty good native search function. I'll give a basic example below.
To retrieve the data you can use Googles spreadsheet JSON API. A basic example is below.
<script src="http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/cells/*ID*/*WS*/public/values?alt=json-in-script&callback=*FN*"></script>
Where ID is the spreadsheet's long ID.
Where WS is the worksheet number e.g. 1,2,3 etc.
Where FN is the function you want to call. In my below function i use importGSS
Then I've written the below script that adds the data to a HTML table. It first adds the first row to a <thead> section and then adds the rest to the <tbody> section.
function cellEntries(json, dest) {
var table = document.createElement('table');
var thead = document.createElement('thead');
var tbody = document.createElement('tbody');
var thr;
var tr;
var entries = json.feed.entry;
var cols = json.feed.gs$colCount.$t;
for (var i=0; i <cols; i++) {
var entry = json.feed.entry[i];
if (entry.gs$cell.col == '1') {
if (thr != null) {
tbody.appendChild(thr);
}
thr = document.createElement('tr');
}
var th = document.createElement('th');
th.appendChild(document.createTextNode(entry.content.$t));
thr.appendChild(th);
}
for (var i=cols; i < json.feed.entry.length; i++) {
var entry = json.feed.entry[i];
if (entry.gs$cell.col == '1') {
if (tr != null) {
tbody.appendChild(tr);
}
tr = document.createElement('tr');
}
var td = document.createElement('td');
td.appendChild(document.createTextNode(entry.content.$t));
tr.appendChild(td);
}
$(thead).append(thr);
$(tbody).append(tr);
$(table).append(thead);
$(table).append(tbody);
$(dest).append(table);
$(dest + ' table').dataTable();
}
You can then call back the function with ... where #Destination is the <div> you want to add the HTML table to.
function importGSS(json){
cellEntries(json, '#Destination');
};
Once all completed you'll see something like the below screenshot, the top the final results and the bottom the original spreadsheet. I've edited out some information. I hope this has been of some help.
