How can I change the name "onEdit" to other name? - google-apps-script

Question

Can anyone help me do this?
My problem is that all of my three (3) codes has the same name "onEdit".
How can I run three (3) of of them?
There is a suggestion that I need to change their name, but when I change the names my codes wont run.
Can anyone post an example code for me, for my reference?
Please?
function onEdit() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
for (p=1 ; p<=lastRow ; p++) { // p <= lastRow
var status = sheet.getRange("C"+p).getValue(); // Change P to the completed column
if (status == "no") { // status == "no"
sheet.hideRows(p);
}
}
}
function onEdit() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheet = spreadsheet.getActiveSheet();
var cell = spreadsheet.getActiveCell();
var col = cell.getColumn();
var row = cell.getRow();
var rows = [1, 2, 3];
// This is a list of the rows that should blink if edited.
if (col === 7 && rows.indexOf(row) !== -7 && sheet.getName() === 'Sheet1') {
// If the edited cell is in column A (1) and if the edited cell
// is one of the rows listed
for (var num = 0; num < 50; num++) {
var colour = num%2 === 0
? 'GOLD'
: 'WHITE';
// Using ? and : like this is called a ternary operation. It's a
// shorter form of if. ifStatement ? true : false.
sheet.getRange('G' + row + ':G' + row).setBackground(colour);
// Get the range for the edited row and set the bg colour
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
Utilities.sleep(500);
}
}
}

Two functions in one onEdit()
Here's an example that combines two functions into one onEdit() simple trigger.
function onEdit(e){
var ss=e.source;
var rg=e.range;
var sh=rg.getSheet();
var name=sh.getName();
Logger.log('Name: %s',name);
var includedSheets=['Sheet45','Sheet46']
if(includedSheets.indexOf(name)==-1){
return;
}
if(name=='Sheet45'){
Sheet45(e);//You could put the code right here but I wanted to make it clear that it's two different operation. This one deletes a row if all conditions are met.
}
if(name=='Sheet46'){
Sheet46(e);//This one deletes a column if all conditions are met
}
}
function Sheet45(e){//You can name them whatever you want
var sh=e.range.getSheet();
var row=e.range.getRow();
var col=e.range.getColumn();
Logger.log('Name: %s',e.range.getSheet().getName());
if(col==1 && row==4 && e.value=='delete'){//if column1 and row4 is changed to 'delete'
sh.deleteRow(row);//the it deletes row 4
}
}
function Sheet46(e){
var sh=e.range.getSheet();
var row=e.range.getRow();
var col=e.range.getColumn();
Logger.log('Name: %s',e.range.getSheet().getName());
if(row==1 && col==4 && e.value=='delete'){//if column4 and row1 is changed to 'delete'
var rg=sh.getDataRange();//then it deletes column 4
var vA=rg.getValues();
for(var i=0;i<vA.length;i++){
vA[i].splice(3,1);
Logger.log('vA[%s]: %s',i,vA[i]);
}
}
rg.clear();
sh.getRange(1,1,vA.length,vA[0].length).setValues(vA);
}
There are a lot of different ways to do it. I like to return as quickly as possible on sheets that are not involved in any of the functions.

You probably already know that you can't run these onEdit() functions directly unless you provide the event object.
Your two functions combined
I modified the second one a bit because it didn't make sense to me. So you change it since you probably understand what you want.
function onEdit(e){
oE1(e);
oE2(e);
}
function oE1(e) {//this works on all sheet
var ss=e.source;
var rg=e.range;
var sh=rg.getSheet();
var name=sh.getName();
var lastRow = sh.getLastRow();
for(var row=1;row<=lastRow;row++) {
var status=sh.getRange(row,3).getValue();//Column3 is C
if (typeof(status)=="string" && status.toLowerCase()=="no") {
sh.hideRows(row);
}
}
}
function oE2(e) {//this only works on sheet 1
var ss=e.source;
var rg=e.range
var sh=rg.getSheet();
var row=rg.getRow();
var col=rg.getColumn();
var cell=sh.getRange(row,col);
var rows = [1, 2, 3];
if(col==1 && rows.indexOf(row)!=-1 && sh.getName()=='Sheet1') {
sh.getRange(row,7).setBackground((rows.indexOf(row)%2==0)?'Gold':'White');
}
}
It would be nice to rework the organization so that you can return more quickly for sheets that are not involved with either function. It's really helpful to look at the executions page when debugging these functions.
