Transferring Rows between Sheets via a like Identifier - google-apps-script

Question

Evening everyone!
I asked this about a week back, but I think the thread got lost in the ether. We came close, but I'm trying to create a function where "Transfer a range of Rows from sheet 1 to sheet 2. Sheet 1 has order IDs in column E. G will have =unique to show me all current order IDs, with check boxes next to each unique reference. Check the box next to which ones you want to CUT over > Select a menu run add on > Run Script > all Rows from A:E that match the desired ID are moved".
[Picture Reference]
Sheet Reference
function onEdit(e) {
e.source.toast('Entry')
const sh = e.range.getSheet();
if(sh.getName() == "Reference" && e.range.columnStart == 8 && e.range.rowStart > 1 && e.value == "TRUE") {
e.source.toast('Gate1')
let rg = sh.getRange(e.range.rowStart,1,1,5)
let vs = rg.getValues();
const osh = e.source.getSheetByName("Processing");
osh.getRange(osh.getLastRow() + 1,1,1,5).setValues(vs);
rg.deleteCells(SpreadsheetApp.Dimension.ROWS);
e.range.setValue("FALSE");
}
}
Here is what we had so far. Please let me know if anyone can help, thank you!

Answer 1

To get all rows that match the unique ID whose checkbox was ticked, use Array.filter(), like this:
/**
* Simple trigger that runs each time the user hand edits the spreadsheet.
*
* #param {Object} e The onEdit() event object.
*/
function onEdit(e) {
if (!e) {
throw new Error(
'Please do not run the onEdit(e) function in the script editor window. '
+ 'It runs automatically when you hand edit the spreadsheet.'
+ 'See https://stackoverflow.com/a/63851123/13045193.'
);
}
moveRowsByUniqueId_(e);
}
/**
* Triggers on a checkbox click and moves rows that match a unique ID.
*
* #param {Object} e The onEdit() event object.
*/
function moveRowsByUniqueId_(e) {
let sheet;
if (e.value !== 'TRUE'
|| e.range.rowStart <= 1
|| e.range.columnStart !== 8
|| (sheet = e.range.getSheet()).getName() !== 'Reference') {
return;
}
e.source.toast('Moving rows...');
const uniqueId = e.range.offset(0, -1).getValue();
const range = sheet.getRange('A2:E');
const values = range.getValues();
const targetSheet = e.source.getSheetByName('Processing');
const _matchWithId = (row) => row[4] === uniqueId;
const valuesToAppend = values.filter(_matchWithId);
if (uniqueId && valuesToAppend.length) {
appendRows_(targetSheet, valuesToAppend);
range.clearContent();
const remainingValues = values.filter((row) => !_matchWithId(row));
range.offset(0, 0, remainingValues.length, remainingValues[0].length)
.setValues(remainingValues);
e.source.toast(`Done. Moved ${valuesToAppend.length} rows.`);
} else {
e.source.toast('Done. Found no rows to move.');
}
e.range.setValue(false);
}
For that to work, you will need to paste the appendRows_() and getLastRow_() utility functions in your script project.

Answer 2

It work almost like asked but :
it's using a personal lib (available below)
didn't make the part realtiv of removing range and aggregate result, I hope i can add it to the lib some day. However, empty cell are fill with -
for an obscure reason, it doesn't like the TRUE/FALSE cell, but work like a charm with 1/0 or any other texte value, regex, ...
Additional error handling are to be added if not any match or others possibilites
function onEdit(e){
console.log(SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Reference").getRange("H3").getValue())
var tableReference = new TableWithHeaderHelper(SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Reference").getRange("A1").getDataRegion());
var tableReferenceId = new TableWithHeaderHelper(SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Reference").getRange("G11").getDataRegion());
var tableProcessing = new TableWithHeaderHelper(SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Processing").getRange("A1").getDataRegion());
// get value
var id = tableReferenceId.getTableWhereColumn("Move to Sheet").matchValue(1).getWithinColumn("Unique Filter").cellAtRow(0).getValue();
var tableWithinId = tableReference.getTableWhereColumn("Shipment ID").matchValue(id)
for(var i=0 ; i < tableWithinId.length() ; i++){
var rangeRowWithinId = tableWithinId.getRow(i);
tableProcessing.addNewEntry(rangeRowWithinId);
for(var cell in rangeRowWithinId.getRange()) cell.setValue("-");
}
//reset value
tableReferenceId.getTableWhereColumn("Move to Sheet").matchValue(1).getWithinColumn("Move to Sheet").cellAtRow(0).setValue(0)
}
See below the app script file you need to create in order to use this utils function:
