Finding a Value in a Column - google-apps-script

Question

I have the following which works great for finding a header value:
var lastCN = formResponsesSht.getLastColumn();
var data = formResponsesSht.getRange(1,1,1,lastCN).getValues();//Get 2D array of all values in row one
var data = data[0];//Get the first and only inner array
var statusCN = data.indexOf('Status') + 1;
Now I would like to find a value on a specific column. In this case B.
var lastRN = formResponsesSht.getLastRow();
var data = formResponsesSht.getRange(1,2,lastRN,1).getValues();//Get 2D array of all values in row one
var data = data[0];//Get the first and only inner array
var statusCN = data.indexOf('Status') + 1;
Why does this not work and is it possible to use the same strategy of indexOf?

Answer 1

If your sheet looked like this:
Then the output of
var data = formResponsesSht.getRange(1,2,lastRN,1).getValues();
is: [[a], [b], [c], [d], [e], [f], [g], [h], [i]]
And
var data = data[0];
gets you: [a], i.e. the first cell in that column.
.getValues() fetches data as an array where the "first and inner array" is an array of all the values in that row.
Edit: For finding the index of 'Status' in a column of data, try:
for (var d = 0; d < data.length; d++) {
if (data[d].indexOf('Status') > -1) {
var statusCN = d + 1;
break;
}
}
Logger.log(statusCN);
