Can't get onEdit to call a function? - google-apps-script

Question

I'm trying to connect 2 spreadsheets, such that, I can perform a sumif function on one spreadsheet and get the result on the current one. I'm using onEdit installable trigger on function when since the simple trigger doesn't work. The dependant dropdown and also the sumif through a for loop works, but I can't seem to get the function when to call the function sum in order to set value on a cell. The sum function works separately and gives the result, but when executing onEdit it doesn't.
Also, is this the correct way to execute sumif? Is there any faster way(I require to execute it around 600-1000 times, here I kept it just 10 to test it out, which again is slow)?
My code follows:
'''
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var stck = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1WGbEo1Xr99HwHY_4ZaeTRIgCOuNcjVfqCzZx4dcQX4I");
var unisensor = stck.getSheetByName("Unisensor");
var ssOptions = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Product List");
var options1 = ssOptions.getRange(2,1,ssOptions.getLastRow() - 1,2).getValues();
function When(e){
var activeCell = e.range;
var val = activeCell.getValue();
var r = activeCell.getRow();
var c = activeCell.getColumn();
var ssName = activeCell.getSheet().getName();
if (ssName=="Stock" && r==2 && c==1){
ss.getRange(r,2).clearContent();
ss.getRange(r,2).clearDataValidations();
var filteredOptions = options1.filter(function(o){return o[0] === val});
var listToApply = filteredOptions.map(function(o){return o[1]});
console.log(listToApply);
var cell = ss.getRange(r,2);
applyValidationToCell(listToApply,cell);
}
if (ssName=="Stock" && r==2 && c==2){
var company = ss.getRange(r,1);
if(company ==="Unisensor"){
sum(val);
}
}
}
function applyValidationToCell(list,cell){
var rule = SpreadsheetApp
.newDataValidation()
.requireValueInList(list)
.setAllowInvalid(false)
.build();
cell.setDataValidation(rule);
}
function sum(val){
var res = 0;
var result = ss.getRange(2,3);
for (i =4;i<=10;i++){
var cell = unisensor.getRange(i,3).getValue();
var cellres = unisensor.getRange(i,9).getValue();
if( cell == val){
res+= cellres;
}
}
result.clearContent();
result.setValue(res);
Logger.log(res);
}
'''
Thanks in advance.

If when(e) is being executed without errors, but sum() is not called, this means that your if condition is not fulfilled
Troubleshoot by implementing the following logs:
function When(e){
var activeCell = e.range;
var val = activeCell.getValue();
var r = activeCell.getRow();
var c = activeCell.getColumn();
var ssName = activeCell.getSheet().getName();
if (ssName=="Stock" && r==2 && c==1){
ss.getRange(r,2).clearContent();
ss.getRange(r,2).clearDataValidations();
var filteredOptions = options1.filter(function(o){return o[0] === val});
var listToApply = filteredOptions.map(function(o){return o[1]});
console.log(listToApply);
var cell = ss.getRange(r,2);
applyValidationToCell(listToApply,cell);
}
if (ssName=="Stock" && r==2 && c==2){
console.log('if (ssName=="Stock" && r==2 && c==2)')
var company = ss.getRange(r,1);
if(company ==="Unisensor"){
console.log('company ==="Unisensor"')
sum(val);
}
else{
console.log('NOT company ==="Unisensor"')
}
}
else{
console.log('NOT if (ssName=="Stock" && r==2 && c==2)')
}
}
After the funciton executes on onEdit trigger - view the logs.
