I have this code on a dice roller sheet I'm trying to make. In column 1, I'm putting the number of dice being used, in column 3, I'm putting the type of dice used (d4 is 4, d6 is 6, d8 is 8, etc.), in column 5, I'm putting the interior modifier (mod for every dice), and in column 7, I'm putting the outside modifier (overall modifier after everything is rolled).
In column 9, everything is supposed to be consolidated as shown in the code below... But nothing's happening on the sheet itself.
Note: No listed errors, it seems to be running properly, but nothing's being displayed.
Quick edit, just for completeness' sake, I replaced all instances of " with ', nothing happened, which I figured, but I'm a bit new haha
function onEdit() { // Column 7
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); // Spreadsheet
var sheeta = "Rolls";
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(sheeta); // Active sheet
var numberrange = sheet.getActiveCell();
numberrange = (numberrange.getRow(),1);
var typerange = (numberrange.getRow(),3);
var modrange = (numberrange.getRow(),5);
var outermodrange = (numberrange.getRow(),7);
var finalrange = (numberrange.getRow(),9);
var results = "=" + numberrange.getValue() +"*(TRUNC(RAND()*(" + typerange.getValue() + "-1)+" + modrange.getValue() + "))+" + outermodrange.getValue(); // =1*(TRUNC(RAND()*(6-1)+0))+0
finalrange.setValue(results);
}
This is not range numberrange = (numberrange.getRow(),1); rather this is just a (X,Y).
I don't know why you didn't mentioned, I think you must be getting error while executing the script.
To convert this into range you should do something like numberrange = sheet.getRange(numberrange.getRow(),1);
Here finalrange.setValue(results); results is a formula I guess, so kindly use finalrange.setFormula(formula) function.
Let me know if this doesn't solve your issue or if you have any doubt.

I have a basic script to take numbers from a sheet and use them to create a range, as well as using the last column function. I have had the error range is too small for the posting range.
When I log the output for both the column and row numbers these come out as expected!
I thought initially, it was because one was a last column pull and the other was pulling an integer from the cell in the sheets, as they were coming with decimal places, so I have overcome this with the conversion to number and then removing the decimals with the .tofixed() but this does not work either. Any ideas?
function weeklyData() {
var sourcess = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1B93Oq2s9Nou5hVgOb3y3t15t9xnqRMBnrYkAed-oxrE'); // key of source spreadsheet
var sourceSheet = sourcess.getSheetByName('Measures & Answers'); // source sheet name - change to your actual sheet name
var lr = Number(sourceSheet.getRange(2,3).getDataRegion(SpreadsheetApp.Dimension.ROWS).getLastRow()).toFixed(0);
for(var i=0;i<lr+1;i++){
var dataValue = sourceSheet.getRange(i+2,3).getValue(); //This weeks numbers to update into table
var rowdataRange = sourceSheet.getRange(i+2,4).getValue(); //The row that the data needs to be pasted
var rowformat = Number(rowdataRange);
var row = rowformat.toFixed(0);
var pasteSheet = sourcess.getSheetByName('WHERE DATA ENDS UP'); // Data is to be pasted - change to your actual sheet name
var pasteColumn = pasteSheet.getRange(12,12).getDataRegion(SpreadsheetApp.Dimension.COLUMNS).getLastColumn()+1;
var column = pasteColumn.toFixed(0); // Column that is free for this weeks data
var pasteRange = pasteSheet.getRange(row,column,1,1);
Logger.log(pasteRange);
// pasteRange.setValue(dataValue);
}};
Your script works fine for me. I suspect this is an example script you've adapted from somewhere and trying to apply it to your data structure?
The reason you are getting the error is probably because the data in column 4 of your source sheet is not of number format? Either change your data or change the following line to the column containing numeric values.
var rowdataRange = sourceSheet.getRange(i+2,4).getValue();
This script is poorly written for this particular use.
You might want to check your Spreadsheet since it has lots of random values at random ranges.
When you use the following command Logger.log(pasteSheet.getLastColumn()); the number returned is 3753: which means that that is the next available column at which your data will be pasted.
The error message you were getting is due to the fact that the range was incorrect and you were passing wrong values in order to access it, which was most likely because of the values mentioned above.
Moreover, after cleaning all the unnecessary data, you can make use of the below script.
Snippet
function weeklyData() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("ID_OF_THE_SPREADSHEET");
var sourceSheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName("Measures & Answers");
var pasteSheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName("WHERE DATA ENDS UP");
var valsToCopy = sourceSheet.getRange(2, 3, sourceSheet.getLastRow(), 1).getValues();
var rowsAt = sourceSheet.getRange(2, 4, sourceSheet.getLastRow(), 1).getValues();
var column = pasteSheet.getRange(12,12).getDataRegion(SpreadsheetApp.Dimension.COLUMNS).getLastColumn()+1;
for (var i = 0; i < valsToCopy.length; i++)
if (rowsAt[i][0] != "")
pasteSheet.getRange(parseInt(rowsAt[i][0]), parseInt(column)).setValue(valsToCopy[i][0].toString());
}
Explanation
The above script gathers all the data that needs to be copied as well as the rows associated with it. In order to make sure you don't end up using inappropriate values for the ranges, an if condition has been placed to make sure the value is not empty.

I'm trying to get my Google sheet to perform certain functions only when a new row is added. After some research I found the .changeType function which seems to work, but I'm having trouble then getting more functions to run based on that condition.
As you can see in my code, I'm using the .changeType function within an if statement.
The if statement appears to work, and it works up until the ui alert - which also works. However, none of the code below it does.
The weird part is that the same code works if I take it outside of the if function.
I'm having a lot of trouble debugging this as the Google Scripts debug tool thinks if(e.changeType=='INSERT_ROW') is an incorrect line of code, but I don't feel it is as it does actually run correctly in the Google sheet. I think this is something to do with the on change trigger functionality.
Perhaps it's the rest of my code that's incorrect, but I can't understand why it works when it's not within that if statement.
What I'm trying to do is to get the row that's just been added, by getting the active range of cells. Then, find the range of cells from immediately below that cell right to the last populated cell in the whole sheet. Those cells should then move with the .moveTo function.
Can anyone explain what's going wrong here? it's been impossible to debug so far!
Code is below:
function moveUpRows(e)
{
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
if(e.changeType=='INSERT_ROW')
{
ui.alert("new row added!");
var range = sheet.getActiveRange();
var belowActiveRange = range.offset(1, 0);
var rangeMovingUp = sheet.getRange("L"+belowActiveRange.getRow()+":S"+sheet.getLastRow())
rangeMovingUp.moveTo(rangeMovingUp.offset(-1, 0));
}
}
If you insert a new row - this will lead to an undefined active range notation
In fact, Logger.log(range.getA1Notation()); will log #REF!
You can work around this limitation by defining:
...
var range = sheet.getActiveRange();
var row = range.getLastRow();
var belowActiveRange = sheet.getRange(row+1, 1, 1, sheet.getLastColumn());
...
I'm trying to parse a CSV file using Google Sheets macros. I've recorded all the steps as individual macros, and one by one they work fine, but when I combine into one macro, it doesn't run properly. The point at which it stops working is after the PODdateformatting part has completed and it's run through the first three lines of Daystodeliverformula. Cell H2 is populated with the formula, but the formula doesn't then autofill down the rest of the column. Any ideas? Or indeed, am I going about this all wrong and need a good talking to? :-)
function TheWholeShebang() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(); // start of DeletedUnwantedColumns
spreadsheet.getRange('AA:DE').activate();
spreadsheet.getActiveSheet().deleteColumns(spreadsheet.getActiveRange().getColumn(), spreadsheet.getActiveRange().getNumColumns());
spreadsheet.getRange('W:X').activate();
spreadsheet.getActiveSheet().deleteColumns(spreadsheet.getActiveRange().getColumn(), spreadsheet.getActiveRange().getNumColumns());
spreadsheet.getRange('R:U').activate();
spreadsheet.getActiveSheet().deleteColumns(spreadsheet.getActiveRange().getColumn(), spreadsheet.getActiveRange().getNumColumns());
spreadsheet.getRange('H:P').activate();
spreadsheet.setCurrentCell(spreadsheet.getRange('P1'));
spreadsheet.getActiveSheet().deleteColumns(spreadsheet.getActiveRange().getColumn(), spreadsheet.getActiveRange().getNumColumns());
spreadsheet.getRange('A:E').activate();
spreadsheet.setCurrentCell(spreadsheet.getRange('E1'));
spreadsheet.getActiveSheet().deleteColumns(spreadsheet.getActiveRange().getColumn(), spreadsheet.getActiveRange().getNumColumns()); // end of DeletedUnwantedColumns
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(); // start of Addcolumnsandheaderlabels
spreadsheet.getRange('A:F').activate();
spreadsheet.getActiveSheet().insertColumnsAfter(spreadsheet.getActiveRange().getLastColumn(), 6);
spreadsheet.getActiveRange().offset(0, spreadsheet.getActiveRange().getNumColumns(), spreadsheet.getActiveRange().getNumRows(), 6).activate();
spreadsheet.getRange('G1').activate();
spreadsheet.getCurrentCell().setValue('POD Date (formatted)');
spreadsheet.getRange('H1').activate();
spreadsheet.getCurrentCell().setValue('Days to Deliver');
spreadsheet.getRange('G2').activate(); // end of Addcolumnsandheaderlabels
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(); // start of PODdateformatting
spreadsheet.getRange('G2').activate()
.setFormula('=DATE(LEFT(D2,4),mid(D2,5,2),right(D2,2))');
spreadsheet.getActiveRange().autoFillToNeighbor(SpreadsheetApp.AutoFillSeries.DEFAULT_SERIES); // end of PODdateformatting
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(); //start of Daystodeliverformula
spreadsheet.getRange('H2').activate()
.setFormula('=NETWORKDAYS(E2,G2,Instructions!$B$15:$B$40)-1');
spreadsheet.getActiveRange().autoFillToNeighbor(SpreadsheetApp.AutoFillSeries.DEFAULT_SERIES); // end of Daystodeliverformula
};
After messing about with range.autoFillToNeighbor() and failing (see comments above) I was still suspicious about that method.
When I used this the range.autoFill() method instead it all worked fine. See code below.
// start of PODdateformatting
//var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
spreadsheet.getRange('G2').activate().setFormula('=DATE(LEFT(D2,4),mid(D2,5,2),right(D2,2))');
var sourceRange = spreadsheet.getRange("G2:G2");
var destination = spreadsheet.getRange("G2:G369");
sourceRange.autoFill(destination,SpreadsheetApp.AutoFillSeries.DEFAULT_SERIES);
//start of Daystodeliverformula
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var range = spreadsheet.getRange('H2').activate().setFormula('=NETWORKDAYS(E2,G2,Instructions!$B$15:$B$40)-1');
var sourceRange = spreadsheet.getRange("H2:H2");
var destination = spreadsheet.getRange("H2:H369");
sourceRange.autoFill(destination,SpreadsheetApp.AutoFillSeries.DEFAULT_SERIES);
In hindsight I now believe that range.autoFillToNeighbor() was never right for your use case in the first place!
range.autoFillToNeighbor() expects to build autofill formulas based on data that is contained in neighbouring columns. It tries to do this intelligently, but neighbouring columns do not contain anything useful! Its amazing it ever worked... maybe sometimes defaulting to range.autoFill()!
range.autoFill() on the other hand, just duplicates the formula (data) above or below ( NOT looking to neighbouring cells for help).
You can copy and paste these over the corresponding functions in function TheWholeShebang() and should all work.
Note I assume a fixed range of 369 as per your data, but you can calculate this based on actual size if you prefer, in case no of rows is changed.
I am working in goggle sheets and think I need to use a google apps script to do what I want, but I am a psychologist at a non-profit University hospital trying to do some good and not a programmer (which probably shows) and I am desperately in need of help. I am trying to set up a series of spreadsheets to track participation in workshops for our treatment method.
1) I have a sheet “Participant_Registration” where basic information is entered
2) I want to transfer information from only the first four columns (A:D) of “Participant_Registration” to a second sheet “Learning_Sessions_Attendance”
3) I am also transferring the same information to a third sheet 'Consultation1_Attendance' – but I need to first filter and select only those people assigned to that group.
Here is a link to a copy of my spreadsheet.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17d0bT4LZOx5cyjSUHPRFgEZTz4y1yEL_tO3gtSJ4UJ8/edit?usp=sharing
More generically this is what I am trying to do. Is this possible in google app scripts? It seems it should be.
1) I have original data in sheet1
2) I want the first four columns (A:D) to transfer to sheet2 (it is fine if I need a trigger variable)
3) I want them to transfer in such a way that if you sort either sheet, the data are still fine (still linked to the right line).
4) Ideally if there is a change to the data in the source sheet (Sheet1) the same change will be made in Sheet2.
5) Ideally this would all happen automatically without human intervention through a script.
Any ideas?? I so need your help. I have been all over the forum, git hub, and done a ton of searches and tried following a lot of examples I saw but nothing works. I really need help.
Here are my sample scripts each with a problem:
//The following code copies a range from sheet1 to sheet2 as I wanted. A problem occurs if after if we copy the data from sheet1 we add data to other columns on sheet2. Later if we sort on some variable (which people are bound to do) if the function is deployed again it will overwrite data meaning the data from sheet1 are not connected to the right individual on sheet2
function CopyRange() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Participant_Registration");
var range = sheet.getRange("A14:D");
var values = range.getValues();
var target = ss.getSheetByName("Learning_Sessions_Attendance");
var target_range = target.getRange("A10:D");
range.copyTo(target_range);
}
So I tried again. This time I tried to just copy the last edited row from sheet1 to sheet2. This function does not appear to work for me.
function CopyRow2() {
// Get Spreadsheets
var source = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1egn6pnRd6mKMGuQxX_jtgwYDtkuMUv2QJItLdh7aIEs");
var target = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1egn6pnRd6mKMGuQxX_jtgwYDtkuMUv2QJItLdh7aIEs");
// Set Sheets
var source_sheet = source.getSheetByName("Participant_Registration");
var target_sheet = target.getSheetByName("Learning_Sessions_Attendance");
var rowIdx = source_sheet.getActiveRange().getRowIndex();
var rowValues = source_sheet.getRange(rowIdx,1,1,source_sheet.getLastRow()).getValues();
Logger.log(rowValues);
var destValues = [];
destValues.push(rowValues[0][0]);// copy data from col A to col A
destValues.push(rowValues[0][1]);//copy data from col B to col B
destValues.push(rowValues[0][2]);//copy data from col C to col C
destValues.push(rowValues[0][3]);//copy data from col D to col D
var dest=source.getSheets()[4];
dest.getRange(dest.getLastRow()+1,1,1,destValues.length).setValues([destValues]);//update destination sheet with selected values in the right order, the brackets are there to build the 2D array needed to write to a range
}
So I tried again and again. I have lots of examples but none seem to work.
Thanks so much.

For that to happen automatically (one sheet's change updating another sheet), you will surely need an "event/trigger" to run a script whenever you change a cell. (that is the "onEdit()" function).
But since scripts are likely to fail sometimes (even when they are perfect, that's because of some Google issues), it's not guaranteed that the sheets will always contain the same data.
But, if I could suggest another way, do not let ID be optional. If that is a real ID (like the person ID card number), create another ID exclusively for working with the sheet.
I have edited your second sheet showing a suggestion of how to do it without using scripts. The only things you must be aware of are:
Do not create two people with the same ID.
You have to insert (only) the ID manually in the second sheet.
The VLOOKUP forumla will search for that ID in the first sheet and return the data in the same line. You can sort any sheet in whatever way you like. As long as you don't change people's IDs.
So, in sheet 2, use this in the First Name, Last Name and Email address:
=vlookup(A10,Participant_Registration!$A:$D,2,false)
=vlookup(A10,Participant_Registration!$A:$D,3,false)
=vlookup(A10,Participant_Registration!$A:$D,4,false)
Just extend this formula downwards
I hope this helps. I would avoid scripting for that at any cost. It would be my last resort. (Scripts also need to be changed if you want to rearrange your sheet, and if not, they might cause trouble, write over existing data...)
I also added a button (insert - drawing) and put a script in it (right button, click down arrow, "transfer? script" -- translated from Portuguese).
If you lock all four columns in sheet2 and lock the ID column in sheet 1, people will not be able to chang IDs and cause mess. They can edit people in sheet 1 and not change the formula in sheet2. Script is not affected by sorting or empty spaces (it adds the person in the first empty row it finds).
I added "named ranges" for the four column headers. (With named ranges, the script can refer to names instead of coordinates, which enables you to rearrange the sheet inserting and deleting columns, or moving them with CUT and paste - but the VLOOKUP formula will need manual update if you rearrange columns).
Here is the code: (it could get better if you manage to create dialog boxes and ask for the person's data inside that dialog, then you could lock everything - and you would need an edit button besides the add).
function AddPerson()
{
var S1Name = "Participant_Registration";
var S2Name = "Learning_Sessions_Attendance";
var ID1Name = "regID";
var ID2Name = "learnID";
//these vars are not used in this script
var FN1Name = "regFirstName";
var FN2Name = "learnFirstName";
var LN1Name = "regLastName";
var LN2Name = "learnLastName";
var Email1Name = "regEmail";
var Email2Name = "learnEmail";
var sSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var Sheet1 = sSheet.getSheetByName(S1Name);
var Sheet2 = sSheet.getSheetByName(S2Name);
var ID1 = getRangeByName(sSheet, Sheet1.getName(), ID1Name);
var ID2 = getRangeByName(sSheet, Sheet2.getName(), ID2Name); Logger.log("ID2: " + ID2.getValue());
var Empty1 = getFirstEmpty(ID1);
var Empty2 = getFirstEmpty(ID2);
var Biggest1 = getBiggestID(ID1); Logger.log("Biggest 1: " + Biggest1);
var Biggest2 = getBiggestID(ID2); Logger.log("Biggest 2: " + Biggest2);
if (Biggest1 !== Biggest2)
Browser.msgBox("Warning: there are IDs in one sheet that are not in the other sheet");
var Biggest;
if (Biggest1 > Biggest2) Biggest = Biggest1;
else Biggest = Biggest2;
Biggest++;
Empty1.setValue(Biggest);
Empty2.setValue(Biggest);
}
function getFirstEmpty(Header)
{
while (Header.getValue() !== "")
{
Header = Header.offset(1,0);
}
return Header;
}
function getBiggestID(Header)
{
var Sheet = Header.getSheet();
var LastRow = Sheet.getLastRow();
var Values = Sheet.getRange(Header.getRow(), Header.getColumn(), LastRow - Header.getRow() + 1).getValues();
var len = Values.length;
var MaxID = 1;
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
var val = Number(Values[i]);
if (!isNaN(val) && val > MaxID)
MaxID = val;
}
return MaxID;
}
function getRangeByName(spreadSheet, sheetName, rangeName)
{
Logger.log("Trying range: " + "'" + sheetName + "'!" + rangeName);
return spreadSheet.getRangeByName("'" + sheetName + "'!" + rangeName);
}
I'd like to know if its possible to move automatically rows to another Google spreadsheet based on a condition in editing (onEdit) the specific column entry that can be text, date, null or specific number.
I tried many times without being able to solve this puzzle.

I'm getting an error on line 10 of your code:
This is what your current code looks like:
function onEdit(){
Logger.log("it ran!");
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1Of4NUdvcxvCUWNSwpbkC4X8nqHpBetHCvyyiGqUPaJk").getActiveSheet();
var ssd = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1J7ChXoodQNg47LOrnp_GF-KLR1jKHxdDGmfAErVTP_U").getActiveSheet();
Logger.log("ss: " + ss);
Logger.log("ssd: " + ssd);
var sheet1 = ss.getSheetByName('Source');
var sheet2 = ssd.getSheetByName('Destination');
Logger.log("sheet1: " + sheet1);
Logger.log("sheet2: " + sheet2);
There is a problem with these two lines:
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1Of4NUdvcxvCUWNSwpbkC4X8nqHpBetHCvyyiGqUPaJk").getActiveSheet();
var ssd = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1J7ChXoodQNg47LOrnp_GF-KLR1jKHxdDGmfAErVTP_U").getActiveSheet();
You should remove .getActiveSheet().
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1Of4NUdvcxvCUWNSwpbkC4X8nqHpBetHCvyyiGqUPaJk");
var ssd = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1J7ChXoodQNg47LOrnp_GF-KLR1jKHxdDGmfAErVTP_U");
That error was not showing up until I ran the code from inside of the code editor. And I needed to authorize some things for it to run for the first time.
I ran it in Debug mode.
When you chain the .getActiveSheet() method on the end, it returns the SHEET class, NOT the SPREADSHEET class. There are hierarchies of classes. The SHEET class is a lower level under the SPREADSHEET class. So, you were trying to use a method for the SPREADSHEET class, on a variable that contained a SHEET return type.
