I have the script below where some cells are protected because they contain formula but I can script linked to buttons that when executed, it updates the cell values in these protected cells, this is fine if you are the sheet owner but if you are not you get a error saying 'You are editing protected cells....'
I have seen some solutions where the script has been deployed as a web app and then set so it always runs as the owner but can't get this working for my use case, I deployed and set as to always run as me but this only seems like half the solution?
My code is below:

There are several posts about this, I'll paste a response from one from yesterday. What I recommend specifically in your case is to run the script when there's an edit bye the user in a certain cell. For example a Tickbox, or a Drop-down menu (in a cell) that allows the user to select which function to run:
If you already have an onEdit function working, that's a simple trigger run by whoever is editing the sheet. Meaning that if you protect column A, it won't be editable by that simple trigger because the user won't have permissions
In order to work this out, I encourage you to protect your column as explained here, change your name function or extract in a new function the part about this specific code you're talking about; and set an installable trigger that runs on event. This way it'll be run as you used to but as it came from your own account. As you have permissions for editing ColA the timestamp will be set by the installable trigger but the other user won't be able to edit it since he/she doesn't have the permissions. Try it and let me know!

I tried to fill it with my sheet data, but that
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange();
get an error. What should I do?
function RefreshImports() {
var lock = LockService.getScriptLock();
if (!lock.tryLock(5000)) return; // Wait up to 5s for previous refresh to end.
var id = "1r7TgCWXfjmcjufT0yz9qcFDlr482SdHDHlZYblXyAt0"; // [YOUR SPREADSHEET ID]
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(id);
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("crypto"); // sheet name
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange();
var formulas = dataRange.getFormulas();
var content = "";
var now = new Date();
var time = now.getTime();
var re = /.*[^a-z0-9]import(?:xml|data|feed|html|range)\(.*/gi;
var re2 = /((\?|&)(update=[0-9]*))/gi;
var re3 = /(",)/gi;
for (var row=0; row<formulas.length; row++) {
for (var col=0; col<formulas[0].length; col++) {
content = formulas[row][col];
if (content != "") {
var match = content.search(re);
if (match !== -1 ) {
// import function is used in this cell
var updatedContent = content.toString().replace(re2,"$2update=" + time);
if (updatedContent == content) {
// No querystring exists yet in url
updatedContent = content.toString().replace(re3,"?update=" + time + "$1");
}
// Update url in formula with querystring param
sheet.getRange(row+1, col+1).setFormula(updatedContent);
}
}
}
}
// Done refresh; release the lock.
lock.releaseLock();
// Show last updated time on sheet somewhere
sheet.getRange(7,2).setValue("Rates were last updated at " + now.toLocaleTimeString())
}
I set up the trigger.
Not sure what you trying to do and you explanation leaves a lot to be desired.
So this is a simple way to put your formulas into a sheet named "Destination".
function RefreshImports() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const sh = ss.getSheetByName("crypto");
const rg = sh.getDataRange();
const formulas = rg.getFormulas();
sh.getRange(1,1,formulas.length,formulas[0].length).setFormulas(formulas);
}
I have some data containing, Dates, Usernames and an average percent that i want to save in a certain way. My problem is that the order of the usernames can change depending on if new ones are added. I therefore need to "find" a specific username and then save the percentage data in the correct column.
I have found some code that partially helps me save the data that i need. But i could use some help in the "find" the corresponding username and save it in a certain Column part.
function save() {
var sss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var ss = sss.getSheetByName('Result');
var range = ss.getRange('B1:B10');
var data = range.getValues();
var tss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var ts = tss.getSheetByName('Archive');
ts.getRange(ts.getLastRow()+1, 1,data[0].length,data.length)
.setValues(Object.keys(data[0]).map ( function (columnNumber) {
return data.map( function (row) {
return row[columnNumber];
});
}));
}
Basically from this:
To a result that looks like this:
Thank you for your assistance.
Alright for anyone out there that may have a similar problem, this is what i ended up with.
function extractAttendance() {
var currentSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var attendanceTab = currentSheet.getSheetByName('Data_Filtered');
var userData = attendanceTab.getRange('B1:B').getValues();
var percentageData = attendanceTab.getRange('I1:I').getValues();
var archiveTab = currentSheet.getSheetByName('Archive');
var existingUsersRow = archiveTab.getRange('1:1');
var newRowNumber = archiveTab.getLastRow() + 1;
archiveTab.getRange(newRowNumber, 1).setValue(new Date());
for (var i = 1; i < userData.length; i++) {
var user = userData[i][0];
if (user === '') {
continue;
}
var existingUsers = existingUsersRow.getValues()[0];
var exists = false;
var existingColumnNumber = -1;
for (var j = 0; j < existingUsers.length; j++) {
if (existingUsers[j] === user) {
exists = true;
existingColumnNumber = j + 1;
break;
}
}
if (exists) {
archiveTab.getRange(newRowNumber, existingColumnNumber).setValue(percentageData[i]);
} else {
var newColumnNumber = archiveTab.getLastColumn() + 1;
archiveTab.getRange(1, newColumnNumber).setValue(user);
archiveTab.getRange(newRowNumber, newColumnNumber).setValue(percentageData[i]);
}
}
}
It might be easier to implement your desired functionality through looping rather than through mapping.
The following code retrieves all users ad their percentage data in ‘Result’ and transfers the data (in the format you desire) to "Archive" with the percentages data pasted with the corresponding timestamp into the first empty row.
function save() {
var sss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var ss = sss.getSheetByName('Result');
var range = ss.getRange('B1:B');
var percentageRange = ss.getRange('G1:G');
var userData = range.getValues();
var percentageData = percentageRange.getValues();
var tss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var ts = tss.getSheetByName('Archive');
var userRow=1;
var percentageRow=(ts.getLastRow()+1)
for(var i=0; i<=userData.length; i++)
{
{
var j=(i+2);
ts.getRange(userRow, j).setValue(userData[i])
ts.getRange(percentageRow, 1).setValue(new Date())
ts.getRange(percentageRow, j).setValue(percentageData[i])
}
}
}
I have script that searches through an entire workbook for a specific name and returns all the data on that name. The script works, but only collects data from 1 sheet within the workbook.
I searched for some code to assist me getting all the sheet names. So I have code that does that, but for some reason it still only returns from 1 sheet.
The code below collects all the sheet names.
This function is then called in the query function.
I Suspect that this is where the issue is occuring
function sheetnames() {
var out = new Array()
var sheets = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets();
for (var i=0 ; i < sheets.length ; i++) {
var name = sheets[i].getName();
var data = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(name);
var values = data.getRange(4, 1, data.getLastRow(),
data.getLastColumn()).getValues();
out.push(values);
}
return out;
}
This function then searches for the requested data.
function query() {
var Sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var searchSheet = Sheet.getSheetByName("Search");
var searchByName = searchSheet.getRange(4, 8).getValue();
var uses = sheetnames();
var output = new Array();
var i = 0;
var r = 0;
do{
var from = uses[i];
do{
var row = from[r];
if(row == null){
r++;
continue;
}
if(searchByName != null ){
var newName = row[7];
if(newName == searchByName){
output.push(row);
}
}
r ++;
}while(r < from.length);
i ++;
}while(i < uses.length);
return output;
}
This part just prints the data into the cells and is attached to a search drawing, which runs the function in the sheet.
function search() {
var Sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Search");
var data = query();
var count1 = 0;
do{
var subData = data[count1];
var count2 = 0;
do{
var setTo = subData[count2];
Sheet.getRange((count1 + 5), (count2 + 1)).setValue(setTo);
count2 ++;
}while(count2 < subData.length);
count1 ++;
}while(count1 < data.length);
}
The sheet is called the "Daily Payments Sheet." As you can imagine there is A LOT of data. Each sheet name is named by the month and the year that the payment occurred. The more consistent customers would obviously make purchases in more than one month.
So when searching for a customers name, I only get 1 month (1 sheet's data) returned. We have data from May 2018 till date, so again, the script doesn't collect from all the sheets.
Your code is not very readable so I figured some things on my own and simplified it. Things I assume - your search term is in 'Search' sheet column H4 and you want to search all sheets for this term in H4 column and write those out in 'Search' sheet after 4th row. Try this.
// return all rows from all sheets except Search sheet
function sheetValues(ss) {
var out = [];
var sheets = ss.getSheets();
for (var i = 0; i < sheets.length; i++) {
var sheet = sheets[i];
if (sheet.getName() == 'Search') continue;
var values = sheet.getRange(4, 1, sheet.getLastRow() - 3, sheet.getLastColumn()).getValues();
out.concat(values);
}
return out;
}
// search all rows for given term and return results
// look for term in H column of every row
function query(ss, term) {
if (!term) return;
var values = sheetValues(ss);
var output = [];
for (var i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
var row = values[i];
var name = row[7]; // 7 = col H
if (name == term) {
output.push(row);
}
}
return output;
}
// get search results and print into Search sheet
function search() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Search');
var searchByName = sheet.getRange(4, 8).getValue(); // search term is in H4 cell
var data = query(ss, searchByName);
sheet.getRange(5, 1, sheet.getLastRow() - 4, sheet.getLastColumn()).clearContent();
sheet.getRange(5, 1, data.length, data[0].length).setValues(data);
}
I have written a script to clean up and move data between 3 different sheets. A user first paste a data extract on to the "Extract" page, and then runs the script.
When a user paste the data into cell A1 on the "Extract" page, I would like a prompt box to ask the user if they would like to run the script; if Yes, run script, if No, don't run script and show message. How would I go about doing this?

Your onEdit(e) will trigger the alert regardless of which cell is edited. You need to check the event range to limit it to cell A1 of Extract like this.
function onEdit(e) {
if( e.range.getSheet().getName() === "Extract" ) {
if( e.range.getA1Notation() === "A1" ) {
if( e.value !== "" ) {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
// Do the rest of your stuff here
}
}
}
}
I'm brand new to Google Apps Script, and I'm trying to create a simple spreadsheet that will allow me to share files by user email through a single spreadsheet.
I have written the following script, which will allow me to add editors and viewers, but not commenters.
I keep getting an error that states that the function addCommenter cannot be found in object spreadsheet.
function shareSheet () {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
ss.toast('Updating access level...');
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var range1 = sheet.getRange (3,1, lastRow,9);
var data = range1.getValues();
for (var i= 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var row = data [i];
var accessLevel = row [5];
var values = row [8];
var ss2 = SpreadsheetApp.openById(values);
var values2 = row [4];
// Add new editor
if (accessLevel == 'Edit') {
var addEditors = ss2.addEditor(values2);
}
// Add new viewer
if (accessLevel == 'View'){
var addViewers = ss2.addViewer(values2);
}
// Add new commenter
if (accessLevel == 'Comment') {
var addCommenters = ss2.addCommenter(values2);
}
}
}
The Spreadsheet object does not support the addCommentor() method. You should use DriveApp service instead.
DriveApp.getFileById(id).addCommenter(emailAddress)
