Trouble getting Google Sheets to Push to Calendar - google-apps-script

Question

I'm having a terrible time getting this code to work. I'm learning a lot, but I'm very much a beginner.
Here's the script:
//push new events to calendar function pushToCalendar() {
//spreadsheet variables
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var range = sheet.getRange(1,1,5,25);
var values = range.getValues();
//calendar variables
var calendar = CalendarApp.getCalendarById('xxxx')
var numValues = 0; for (var i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
//check to see if name and type are filled out - date is left off because length is "undefined"
if ((values[i][0].length > 0) && (values[i][2].length > 0)) {
//check if it's been entered before
if (values[i][16]!= 'y') {
//create event https://developers.google.com/apps-script/class_calendarapp#createEvent
var newEventTitle = 'values[i][1]' + ' ' + values[i][15] + ' - ' + values[i][3] + ' - ' + values[i][10] + ' Driver: Needed';
var newEvent = calendar.createAllDayEvent(newEventTitle, values[i][8]);
//get ID
var newEventId = newEvent.getId();
//mark as entered, enter ID
sheet.getRange(i+2,16).setValue('y');
sheet.getRange(i+2,17).setValue(newEventId);
} //could edit here with an else statement
}
numValues++; }
And here's a link to a dummy:

There are few errors with code:
1.//push new events to calendar function pushToCalendar(). As you included the function statement in the comments, the whole statment was commented out.
For loop should start from i=1. This is because, when you take i=0, this is referred to as the name of columns row.
sheet.getRange(i+2,16) should be changed to sheet.getRange(i+1,16).
In var values = range.sheet.getRange(1, 1, sheet.getLastRow(), 25).getValues();
Here the code:
function pushToCalendar() {
//spreadsheet variables
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var range = sheet.getRange(1,1,5,25);
var values = range.getValues();
Logger.log(values.length);
//calendar variables
var calendar = CalendarApp.getCalendarById('your calendar ID')
var numValues = 0;
for (var i = 1; i < values.length; i++) {
var check = values[i][0];
//check to see if name and type are filled out - date is left off because length is "undefined"
if ((values[i][0]) && (values[i][2].length > 0)) {
//check if it's been entered before
if (values[i][16]!= 'y') {
//create event https://developers.google.com/apps script/class_calendarapp#createEvent
var newEventTitle = 'values[i][1]' + ' ' + values[i][15] + ' - ' + values[i][3] + ' - ' + values[i][10] + ' Driver: Needed';
Logger.log(i);
Logger.log(values[i][8]);
var newEvent = calendar.createAllDayEvent(newEventTitle, values[i][8]);
//get ID
var newEventId = newEvent.getId();
//mark as entered, enter ID
sheet.getRange(i+1,16).setValue('y');
sheet.getRange(i+1,17).setValue(newEventId);
} //could edit here with an else statement
}
}
}
I tried the above code and was able to create events in my calendar.Let me know if you have any questions
