Helpful answer, but not exactly what I'm looking for
The above answer gives part of the script I'm looking for. I'd like to add another step (or two) but have no idea how.
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
I have a column of numbers, and would like to add numbers from another. The part I can't figure out is how to clear the cells after the numbers have been added to the first column.
Like this:
A <---B
1 <---2
2 <---5
3 <---24
On the click of a button, I'd like the numbers from B to be added to A and then B cleared. Column A would become 3, 7, 27, and the cells in Column B would become blank.
function addRange() {
//replace 'Sheet1' with your actual sheet name
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Sheet1');
var tRange = sheet.getRange('A1:A3');
var tValues = tRange.getValues();
var sRange = sheet.getRange('B1:B3');
var sValues = sRange.getValues();
for (var i = 0; i < tValues.length; i++) {
tValues[i][0] += sValues[i][0];
}
tRange.setValues(tValues);
sRange.clearContent();
}
You can also add a button to your spreadsheet menu to execute AdmaL's code example above using this code
function onOpen() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var menubutton = [ {name: "Add Range", functionName: "addRange"}]; //"addRange" is the name of the function submitted by AdamL Above //This would also need to be included as a function in your script as the function to call when you click the "Custom" menu button
ss.addMenu("Custom", menubutton);
}

I want to create some small buttons in my google sheet that add or substract the cell value incrementally.
Excuse my artistic abilities (I created the buttons in paint)
You would need to create the increment and decrement functions using Google Apps Script like this:
function increment1() {
var activeCell = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveCell();
var cellValue = activeCell.getValue();
activeCell.setValue(++cellValue);
}
function decrement1() {
var activeCell = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveCell();
var cellValue = activeCell.getValue();
activeCell.setValue(--cellValue);
}
function increment01() {
var activeCell = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveCell();
var cellValue = activeCell.getValue() + 0.1;
activeCell.setValue(cellValue);
}
function decrement01() {
var activeCell = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveCell();
var cellValue = activeCell.getValue() - 0.1;
activeCell.setValue(cellValue);
}
After saving the script, you can draw the buttons using Insert menu -> Drawing, then after you've finished the drawing and placed it onto the sheet, you can right click the drawing, then click on the three dots and select Assign Script:
Then type the function name on the dialog box that appears:
This would increment or decrement the value in the active/selected cell by 1 or 0.1, depending on the entered function.
This is likely embarrassingly easy but I'm new and I've been beating my head against the wall on this for a while now. What I am attempting to do is basically a modified version of the "Hello App Maker!" If else test.
The necessary info I have the following widgets attached to the appropriate data sources:
Dropdown widget called source_name (string - list)
Label widget I've called name (string)
Text Box widget called qty_duration (number)
Label widget I've called hours (number)
I have a dropdown widget called source_name with 5 options. On selection I have the value appear in a label widget I've called name. If the option selected from the drop down widget is ever LABOUR I am trying to then have the value of a Text Box widget called qty_duration appear in a label widget I've called hours
On the source_name dropdown event - onValueChange I have the following code:
// Define variables for the input and output widgets
var nameWidget = app.pages.Apex_job_details.descendants.name;
var outputWidget = app.pages.Apex_job_details.descendants.hours;
var techhours = app.pages.Apex_job_details.descendants.qty_duration;
var nothing = 0;
// If a name is LABOUR, add the qty to the output widget Else output 0.
if (nameWidget == 'LABOUR') {
outputWidget.text = techhours;
} else {
outputWidget = nothing;
}
It's not giving me any errors, but it's also not outputting to the hours label. If I edit the code as follows just to muck with it:
// Define variables for the input and output widgets
var nameWidget = app.pages.Apex_job_details.descendants.name;
var outputWidget = app.pages.Apex_job_details.descendants.hours;
var techhours = app.pages.Apex_job_details.descendants.qty_duration;
var nothing = 0;
// If a name is LABOUR, add the qty to the output widget Else output 0.
if (nameWidget == 'LABOUR') {
outputWidget.text = techhours;
} else {
outputWidget.text = nothing;
}
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Assuming all labels and input widgets are inside a table row you will want to adjust your code as follows:
var tablerow = widget.parent;
var nameWidget = tablerow.descendants.name.text;
var outputWidget = tablerow.descendants.hours;
var techhours = tablerow.descendants.qty_duration.value;
if(nameWidget === 'LABOUR') {
outputWidget.text = techhours;
} else {
outputWidget.text = null;
}
By using widget.parent in the onValueChange event of the dropdown you will automatically reference the table row and then by using descendants you are referencing only the descendants of that table row. This will bridge the error by using an absolute reference when using table rows. If it still doesn't work let me know.
I can get item of Repeater like this:
var item = repeater.itemAt(index);
But how can I get item of GridView? I saw itemAt function. But it is different from itemAt of Repeater. It wants x and y coordinates but we can use index in GridView like Repeater. How can I access the item?
Edit:
gridView.currentIndex = index;
var a = gridView.currentItem;
gridView.currentIndex = lastIndex;
var b = gridView.currentItem;
if (a.imageSource === b.imageSource) console.log('Equals!');
I'm always seeing Equals! output. But they (images) aren't equals (a has 1.png, b has 2.png).
It seems there is no build in function for that, but you may try this approach:
gridView.currentIndex = index; // your index
var item = gridView.currentItem;
// reset the current index to the previous value if you have to
Maybe this will also work instead (not tested):
var item = gridView.children[index];
That is more like a work around but should work in your case.
I'm new to Java scripting and Google Apps Scripts so i am sorry if this has already been answered. I was not able to find what i was looking for over the last few months of working on this project.
I am working on a variant of the scripts here:
Delete row in Google Sheets if certain "word" is found in cell
AND
Google Sheet Script - Find Value in Col and Delete Row
I want to create a button, or menu, that will allow someone to enter specific data, and have each row in the spreadsheet containing that data deleted.
I have a test sheet here that illustrates the data i'm working with, formulas i'm using, and has the beginning of the script attached to it:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e2ILQYf8MJD3mrmUeFQyET6lOLYEb-4coDTd52QBWtU/edit?usp=sharing
The first 4 sheets are pulling data from the "Form Responses 1" sheet via a formula in cell A:3 in each sheet so the data would only need to be deleted from the "Form Responses 1" sheet to clear it from the rest of the sheets.
I tried working this in but i do not think i am on the right track.
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/dialogs
I also posted this on Google Docs Help Forum 60 days ago, but have not received any responses.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There's a few steps. For usability of UI this takes a little longer code. In concise form:
The user activates a dialog and enters a string.
Rows w/ the string are deleted (with error handling and confirmation)
(Hopefully this gets you started and you can tailor it to your needs)
Function that initiates the menu:
function onOpen(){
SpreadsheetApp.getUi()
.createMenu('My Menu')
.addItem('Delete Data', 'deleteFunction')
.addToUi();
}
The main workhorse:
function deleteFunction(){
//declarations
var sheetName = "Form Responses 1";
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(sheetName);
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange();
var numRows = dataRange.getNumRows();
var values = dataRange.getValues();
var delete_string = getUIstring();//open initial UI, save value
if (delete_string.length < 3) return shortStringError()//UI to protect your document from an accidental entry of a very short string.
//removing the rows (start with i=2, so don't delete header row.)
var rowsDeleted = 0;
for (var i = 2; i <= numRows; i++){
var rowValues = values[i-1].toString();//your sheet has various data types, script can be improved here to allow deleting dates, ect.
if (rowValues.indexOf(delete_string) > -1){
sheet.deleteRow(i - rowsDeleted);//keeps loop and sheet in sync
rowsDeleted++;
}
}
postUIconfirm(rowsDeleted);//Open confirmation UI
}
Isolated UI functions to help make above function more concise:
function getUIstring(){
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
var response = ui.prompt("Enter the target data element for deletion")
return response.getResponseText()
}
function postUIconfirm(rowsDeleted){
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
ui.alert("Operation complete. There were "+rowsDeleted+" rows deleted.")
}
function shortStringError(){
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
ui.alert("The string is too short. Enter a longer string to prevent unexpected deletion")
}
I'll just show a way to delete the cell value if it matches your search criteria. It's up to you to connect it to buttons ,etc.
You'll loop through a Sheet Range. When you find the word match, delete it using clearContent()
function deleteSpecificData() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var range = sheet.getRange("Sheet1!A1:C4");
var values = range.getValues();
var numArray = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var deleteItem = "Garen";
Logger.log(range);
for(var i=0; i< values.length; i++){
for(var j=0; j<values[i].length; j++){
if(values[i][j] == deleteItem){
var row = numArray[i];
var col = numArray[j];
var range = sheet.getRange(row,col).clearContent();
}
}
}
}

I have a Google spreadsheet with many sheets and a table of contents. Is there some way to create a button in the main sheet so that with a click one can go directly to the cell in another sheet?
I figured out the way to make button and assigned the script to the button.
I modified a script to become like this, but I have problem on the last line, what should I do?
function goToSheet2b() {
goToSheet("8601-10!N1");
}
function goToSheet(sheetName) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName(sheetName);
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(sheet);
}
PS: 8601-10 is the name of the other sheet I need to go to.
Thank you for your help.
You can't have the cell reference in the sheet name. You have to send them as separate variables.
function goToSheet2b() {
// 1 = row 1, 14 = column 14 = N
goToSheet("8601-10", 1, 14);
}
function goToSheet(sheetName, row, col) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName(sheetName);
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(sheet);
var range = sheet.getRange(row, col)
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveRange(range);
}
