Hello
I cannot recover data with onEdit (e). All of my data seems undefined. Could you give me a sample code that works to inspire me
thanks in advance
function onEdit(e)
{
var range = e.range;
Logger.log("currentRange"+ range)
Logger.log("currentSource"+ e.source)
Logger.log("value"+ e.value)
Logger.log("Oldvalue"+ e.oldvalue)
}As you can see from the post above, the onEdit(e) event trigger does not work with Glide, only the onChange(e) trigger does.
Thank you
do you have a little bit of code to find out which cell has been modified?
Simply change the name of function to onChange(e) and assign spreadsheet trigger. Now your code will work with Glide.
The (e) will not return specific cell information, only these triggers:
changeType The type of change ( EDIT , INSERT_ROW , INSERT_COLUMN , REMOVE_ROW , REMOVE_COLUMN , INSERT_GRID , REMOVE_GRID , FORMAT , or OTHER ).
Ok but How to know that cell changed ??
Glide does not pass that to your spreadsheet. You’ll need to write a script that captures that something in the whole spreadsheet has changed, whether it’s adding or removing a row or column or any of the triggers I mentioned above. Then in the script, you’ll reference a change that may be different than the last time an edit was made.
I’ll give you an example script in my next post.
function trailerDelete(e) { //This is the onChange(e) trigger
var app = SpreadsheetApp;
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var targetSheet = app.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(“Report”);
// You can replace “Report” in the above line, to the sheet that you are referencing.
//Logger.log(targetSheet.getRange(2, 2).getValue() + " Test");
if (e.changeType==“EDIT”){
for (var i = 2; i < 6;i++){
if (targetSheet.getRange(i,2).getValue() ==""){
targetSheet.getRange(i, 3).clear();
targetSheet.getRange(i, 4).clear();
targetSheet.getRange(i, 5).clear();
// The 3 examples above are the columns and corresponding row that need to be //deleted
}
}
}
}
The example above is what I use to clear a set of values when I check to see if a cell is empty. It iterates through my entire sheet.
I must tell you that the script can take time to run depending on the size of your sheet and how much data you are trying to edit. Also, there is the Glide/Google lag if your account is not pro.
You may use getActiveCell() to identify the cell where modifications done. But one thing, for simple editing purposes you do not require all this information. Glide will automatically edit current row.
I go step by step by testing the code sent.
the ligne 8 is :"var targetSheet = app.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(“Suivi”);
"SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token (ligne 8, fichier “Focus.gs”)"
I don’t understand what could be the problème
1 function traitement(e)
2 {
3 Logger.log(‘change’);
4 var sheet = spreadsheet.getActiveSheet();
5 var app = SpreadsheetApp;
6 var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
7
8 var targetSheet = app.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(“Suivi”);
}
Thank you
