We have to update value of a smartsheet Cell. This Cell contains Hyperlink to a different sheet. Hyperlink URL is assigned. We want to update this cell value by Smartsheet API C# SDK.
If I'm understanding your scenario correctly, a cell in your sheet contains a hyperlink to another Smartsheet sheet (as described here), and you want to update that cell value to be a hyperlink that points to a different sheet in Smartsheet. The following code uses the Smartsheet C# SDK to accomplish that.
// Replace the second parameter here with your API Access Token
System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("SMARTSHEET_ACCESS_TOKEN", "replace-this-string-with-your-API-access-token");
SmartsheetClient smartsheet = new SmartsheetBuilder().Build();
// Specify updated cell value (hyperlink to another sheet)
var cellToUpdate = new Cell
{
ColumnId = 6101753539127172, // ID of the column that contains the cell you're updating
Value = "text-value-for-hyperlink", // text value of hyperlink to display in the cell -- typically set to the target Sheet's name
Hyperlink = new Hyperlink
{
SheetId = 7501762300012420 // ID of the sheet that the hyperlink will point to
}
};
// Identify row and add updated cell object to it
var rowToUpdate = new Row
{
Id = 4324392993613700, // ID of the row that contains the cell you're updating
Cells = new Cell[] { cellToUpdate }
};
// Issue the 'update row(s)' request
IList<Row> updatedRow = smartsheet.SheetResources.RowResources.UpdateRows(
3932034054809476, // ID of the sheet that you're updating
new Row[] { rowToUpdate }
);
Hopefully this is helpful. If I'm not understanding your scenario correctly, please comment on this answer to elaborate further about your scenario.
** UPDATE - replacing the sheet hyperlink with another type of value **
Please note, if you want to remove the sheet hyperlink from the cell and replace it with another value, you should specify an empty Hyperlink object in the request, as shown in the following code.
// Specify updated cell value (just a text value -- i.e., no longer a sheet hyperlink)
var cellToUpdate = new Cell
{
ColumnId = 6101753539127172, // ID of the column that contains the cell you're updating
Value = "new-cell-value",
Hyperlink = new Hyperlink()
};

I am new to Google Apps Script and coding in general and wasn't entirely sure how to do this. I want to create code that allows me to create a new set of Google Slides based on a Slides template using the relevant rows from a Google Sheets document.
function generateNewSlides() {
var wsID = "would insert worksheet URL ID here";
var ws = SpreadsheetApp.openById(wsID).getSheetByName("Data");
var data = ws.getRange(2, 1, ws.getLastRow()-1, 5).getValues();
>the above should get the relevant table from the sheet
data.forEach(function(info){
if(info[0]){
var firstname = info[0];
var surname = info[1];
var email = info[2];
var phone = info[3];
var image = info[4];
var presName = info[5];
>the above are columns where the different pieces of data would be taken from for the placeholders in the Slides template
var slidesTemplateID = "would insert slides template URL ID here";
var slidesTemplate = SlidesApp.openById(slidesTemplateID);
var template = slidesTemplate.getSlides();
var folderID = "would insert desired folder ID for saving in here";
>the above should get me the Slides template
template.makeCopy(presName,DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID)); **>line where error occurred**
var newPresentation = DriveApp.getFilesByName(presName).next().getUrl();
var Presentation = SlidesApp.openByUrl(newPresentation);
>the above should create a copy and then open it
var shapes = (Presentation.getShapes());
shapes.forEach(function(shape){
shape.getText().replaceAllText('{{firstname}}',firstname);
shape.getText().replaceAllText('{{surname}}',surname);
shape.getText().replaceAllText('{{email}}',email);
shape.getText().replaceAllText('{{phone}}',phone);
shape.getText().replaceAllText('{{presname}}', presName)
});
>the above should replace all the placeholder tags in the template with the row data
}
});
}
Above is the code I have so far. The worksheet I am extracting data from has columns: first name, surname, email address, phone number, image (URL), and presentation name. When I try to run it I encounter an error on line 37 where it says template.makeCopy is not a function, however I am certain .makeCopy should be able to create a copy for it, no?
My main questions are:
1) What should I change to make it work, generating a new set slides for each row in the worksheet?
2) How can I add images to it replacing placeholder tags I've added in squares (not textboxes) in the template?
Thanks in advance!
Issue 1. makeCopy:
makeCopy(name, destination) is a method of the class File, which belongs to the Drive Service, not to the Slides Service. In your code, template is a list of Slides (you retrieve it by calling the method getSlides() from a Presentation). makeCopy cannot work here.
In order to make a copy of a Presentation, you should be using the Drive Service instead. You should replace these lines:
var slidesTemplate = SlidesApp.openById(slidesTemplateID);
var template = slidesTemplate.getSlides();
With this one:
var template = DriveApp.getFileById(slidesTemplateID);
Issue 2. Iterating through all shapes:
Next, you want to iterate through all shapes in your Presentation, and replace all placeholder tags with your desired text. In order to do that, you are using Presentation.getShapes(), which cannot work, since getShapes() is not a method of Presentation, but of Slide.
You should first iterate through all Slides in the Presentation, and for each Slide, iterate through all Shapes. You should replace these lines:
var shapes = (Presentation.getShapes());
shapes.forEach(function(shape){
// Replacing text lines
});
With these ones:
Presentation.getSlides().forEach(function(slide) {
slide.getShapes().forEach(function(shape) {
// Replacing text lines
})
});
Note:
In order to retrieve the copied presentation, you are currently doing this:
template.makeCopy(presName,DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID));
var newPresentation = DriveApp.getFilesByName(presName).next().getUrl();
var Presentation = SlidesApp.openByUrl(newPresentation);
There is no need to do this, you can just retrieve the ID of the created template, and open by ID, like this:
var copiedTemplate = template.makeCopy(presName,DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID));
var Presentation = SlidesApp.openById(copiedTemplate.getId());

I am trying to load table data dynamically in ag-grid. All column will be listed in sidebar(ToolPanel) check boxes and if user click on any unchecked box then a request will be sent to server and get data for that column and merge into the grid.
I am not sure this can be done with the ag-grid sideBar.
I am thinking of capturing the click event in sideBar but can not found any relevant document.
Please let me know if there is any solution for this.
If you are expecting any event from ag-grid, I think columnVisible might help you.
Have a look at this live example: https://plnkr.co/edit/KpFQp84rZvJgY2gjKRar?p=preview
Uncheck any column and then check.
<AgGridReact
...
onColumnVisible={this.onColumnVisible}
/>
onColumnVisible = params => {
console.log(params);
if (params.visible) {
const colId = params.column.colId;
alert(colId);
// you could identify here, which column was checked
// load data from server for that column
// make sure you also retrieve ID and then associate the column data with appropriate row, i.e.
this.yourHttpSvc.getColData(colId).subscribe(response => {
// iterate through response & rowData appropriately
this.stats.rowData[key][colId] = response[key][colId];
})
}
}
Hope this helps!
I need to import a large table of data into my database in one go. I currently have it as an Excel file but I am happy to copy it to Google sheets etc.
So far I've added a few entries manually directly via cloud firestore.
Is there a solution already out there to achieve this?
I think the easiest way to export table data into Firestore is to use a Google Apps Script Library (for Google Sheets).
Step 1
Make a Copy of THIS example Google Spreadsheet I created as an example
Step 2
From the menu of YOUR copy of the Example Google Spreadsheet from step 1, click Tools > Script Editor. This should open up the example Google App Script associated with the example spreadsheet.
Step 3
Follow the Steps for installing this library and then update the script with the following:
email
key
projectID
These variables are generated by going to the Google Service Accounts page. This will require that you already have a Firebase or Google Cloud account setup. I won't repeat all the steps that are already iterated in in the aforementioned Github writeup. Just follow them carefully, and realize that the private_key is THE ENTIRE KEY starting with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n, EVERYTHING in between, and ending with \n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n
Step 4
Insert a page on your spreadsheet that contains your data, and EDIT the script to use your new sheet name and your data. I have HEAVILY commented the script so it's pretty clear what almost every line of code is doing. For those of you that just want to peek at the Google App Script that's behind this spreadsheet, here's the code:
// Note this Script uses an external library as per this page:
// https://github.com/grahamearley/FirestoreGoogleAppsScript
// This solution requires a Google Spreadhseet and a Firebase Account
// FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THAT GITHUB REPO TO SETUP NEEDED API KEYS!!!
//Global Variables
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); // Gets the active "workbook"
const sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Restaurants'); // CHANGE TO YOUR SHEET NAME
const headerRowNumber = 1; // If you have more than one row for your header, then change this value to number of header rows
// If you want to mark modified cells, then set up a trigger for the following function:
// Edit > Current Project Triggers > (+ Add Trigger) > On Edit Spreadsheet etc
function onEdit(e) {
var cell = ss.getActiveCell(); //This will also effectively get our row
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange(); //This checks for all rows/columns with data
var modifiedCol = dataRange.getLastColumn()-1; //Our "modified" column should be the second to last
if (cell.getColumn() < modifiedCol && cell.getRow() > headerRowNumber) { //If we edit any cells to the left of our modified column and below our header...
var celltoMark = sheet.getRange(cell.getRowIndex(),modifiedCol) //Get the R/C cordinates of cell to place modified time
celltoMark.setValue(new Date()); //write timestamp to that cell
}
};
// This will parse any comma separated lists you create in any of your fields (useful for search words, or attributes, etc)
function listToArray(list) {
var ogArray = list.split(","); //Input is a comma separated list
let trimmedArr = ogArray.map(string => string.trim()); //Let's strip out the leading/trailing whitespaces if any
return trimmedArr; //return the cleaned array
}
function writeToFireStore() {
const email = 'sheets#yourprojectid.iam.gserviceaccount.com'; // CHANGE THIS!!!
const key = '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nYOURPRIVATEKEY\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n'; // CHANGE THIS!!!
const projectID = 'yourprojectid'; // CHANGE THIS!!!
var firestore = FirestoreApp.getFirestore(email, key, projectID);
const collection = "MySpreadsheetData"; // Name of your Firestore Database "Collection"
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange().offset(headerRowNumber, 0, sheet.getLastRow() - headerRowNumber); //this is your data range
var data = dataRange.getValues(); // this is an array of your datarange's values
var lastCol = dataRange.getLastColumn(); // this is the last column with a header
var newDoc = {}; // Instantiate your data object. Each one will become the data for your firestore documents
// r = row number in this case
for (let r = 0; r <= dataRange.getLastRow(); r++) {
//Logger.log("R = ",r);
var cellMod = dataRange.getCell(r+1, lastCol-1);
var cellFS = dataRange.getCell(r+1, lastCol);
var cellModVal = cellMod.getValue();
var cellFSVal = cellFS.getValue();
//
// IMPORTANT READ THIS IMPORTANT READ THIS IMPORTANT READ THIS IMPORTANT READ THIS IMPORTANT READ THIS!!!
// Well, read the line below...
if (r > 2) break; //Comment Out this line after you're done testing otherwise you'll write all your rows to firestore after every run
newDoc[r] = {
name : data[r][1],
category : data[r][2],
cuisine : data[r][3],
address: {
add1: data[r][4],
add2: data[r][5],
city: data[r][6],
state: data[r][7],
zip: data[r][8]
},
tel: data[r][9],
searchterms: listToArray(data[r][10]) //Let's turn a csv list into an array
}
// For the sake of efficiency and to save $, we WON'T create documents that have already been created...
// ...and we won't update documents that have a fireStore Timestamp that's newer than a Modified Timestamp
// If there's not firestore timestamp in our spreadsheet, then let's create firestore document and update firestore stamp:
if (!cellFSVal) {
var now = new Date(); //Generate timestamp right now
try {
firestore.createDocument(collection + "/" + data[r][0], newDoc[r]); // To Use Your Own Document ID
//Now let's insert a timestamp in our Firestore TS column of the sheet so we know it's been added to Firestore
cellFS.setValue(now);
Logger.log("Row ",r,"(",data[r][1],") is NEW and was added to FireStore Successfully");
} catch (e) {
Logger.log("Error: ",e," : Document with same name already existed in Firestore.");
}
}
//var if FS Timestamp exists but, the modified time stamp is greater, let's update the Firstore Document
else if ((cellFSVal) && (cellModVal > cellFSVal)) {
try {
firestore.updateDocument(collection + "/" + data[r][0], newDoc[r]);
//Now let's insert a timestamp in our Firestore TS column of the sheet so we know it's been updated to Firestore
cellFS.setValue(now);
Logger.log("Row ",r,"(",data[r][1],") updated/edited.");
} catch (e) {
Logger.log("Error: ",e," : Document existed, we tried updating it, but jack shit happened.");
}
}
else {
Logger.log("Row ",r,"(",data[r][1],") Already in Firestore & hasn't been modified. Skipped.");
}
}
}
Step 5
Once your script is modified to your needs, it's time to run the script. Simply save it (File > Save), then choose the function "writeToFireStore" from the "Select function" dropdown selector in the menu bar (in between the icon of the bug, and the lightbulb), then hit the PLAY icon (to the left of the bug icon). At this point, you will likely be prompted to accept permissions to run the script, (which you need to accept if you want to run the script). Once you've accepted the permissions, then run the "writeToFireStore" function again if it hasn't already run, and voila!
NOTES:
I created a function that automatically writes a Modified Timestamp to the second to last column in the target sheet, and when you run the function, writes a Firestore Timestamp (so you know which rows have been successfully exported to Firestore). This way, if you run the firestore function again, and you haven't changed the data on your sheet, it won't bother updating the database with the same data (and will save you money and/or server resources). For this functionality to work, you must setup project Triggers (which is explained inside the script in the comments).
I have a Google Sheet whose contents I update with a python script that utilizes Google's REST API.
I want to copy a section of that Sheet into a given Google Doc automatically. (E.g. I want columns A:G of that sheet to appear in my Doc and get updated whenever the sheet does.) There are other elements (e.g. paragraphs) in the Doc, so it's important that the section appears in the location I specify each time (either by updating itself or by deleting the old section and inserting a new one).
Is that possible? How would I do it?
AFAIK, this is possible using Apps Script - Extending Google Docs and Extending Google Sheets.
You can create a Container-bound Scripts that have a onChange() trigger to get the updated value.
Write to Docs
//This can be openById() Open a document by ID.
var doc = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
var body = doc.getBody();
// Append a paragraph and a page break to the document body section directly.
body.appendParagraph("A paragraph.");
body.appendPageBreak();
Getting data from Sheets
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
// This represents ALL the data
var range = sheet.getDataRange();
var values = range.getValues();
// This logs the spreadsheet in CSV format with a trailing comma
for (var i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
var row = "";
for (var j = 0; j < values[i].length; j++) {
if (values[i][j]) {
row = row + values[i][j];
}
row = row + ",";
}
Logger.log(row);
}
For implementation purposes, check the link. This shows how to create Google Docs and pass a value from Google Sheets using Apps Script.
Hope this helps.
I have a form in as3 flash with textfields and radio buttons with their "instance name" all set consecutively such as:
field_1
field_2
field_3
...etc
Is there an easy way in AS3 code to loop over all those fields and get their values in an array? Ideally I'd like a simply loop to get the values (so I can add in a simple popup if a value is missing) and then with the filled array simply post it using URLRequest.
Thanks!
If you want a way that's a little less work and more maintainable (if the amount of text can change in the future or you need to reuse the code on other forms or don't want to bother with instance names), then you could do something like the code below.
Keep in mind this assumes all your text fields are children of the same parent and is in the scope of that parent (so on a frame in the timeline that holds all your text fields)
function validateTextFields(){
var tmpTf:TextField;
var i:int = numChildren;
while(i--){ //iterate through all the display objects on this timeline
tmpTf = getChildAt(i) as TextField;
if(tmpTf){
//now that you have the textfield, you can check for an appropriate value, or send the value to a server, or store it in an array etc.
//check if the value is blank, if so set the background to red
if(tmpTf.text == ""){
tmpTf.background = true;
tmpTf.backgroundColor = 0xFF0000;
}else{
tmpTf.background = false;
}
}
}
}
It sounds like you want to use a for statement. I've also used a multi-dimensional array to store the instance names, and the text that they contain. I like to use the variable _path to define the scope of my code.
var _path = this;
var text_ar:Array = new Array(['instance_1',''],['instance_2',''],['instance_3','']); //instance name, instance text.
for(var i=0; i<ar.length; i++)
{
text_ar[i][1] = _path[text_ar[i][0]].text
}
trace( text_ar[1][1] ); //Traces the text that's entered in instance_1.
