I'm using the Python example at http://smartsheet-platform.github.io/api-docs/?python#update-row(s) nearly verbatim. The difference is I'm updating only one cell in one row. I can see the value change in the variable row_a but the row does not get updated in the Smartsheet itself.
Here is my code, which is nearly identical to the code posted in the API guide:
row_a = smartsheet.Sheets.get_row(sheetId, 916467282667396)
cell_a = row_a.get_column(5937660066850692)
cell_a.value = 'new value'
row_a.set_column(cell_a.column_id, cell_a)
smartsheet.Sheets.update_rows(sheetId, [row_a])
Seeing that the text 'new value' does not appear in the Smartsheet after running this code, I added the word print in front of the last line to see what is returned by the API call and this is the result (I added indentation for readability):
{
"requestResponse": null,
"result": {
"code": 1062,
"name": "InvalidRowLocationError",
"recommendation": "Do not retry without fixing the problem.",
"shouldRetry": false,
"message": "Invalid row location.",
"statusCode": 400
}
}
How can I fix the InvalidRowLocationError and get my row update to be sent to the Smartsheet?
There are actually two bugs associated with update_rows in the smartsheet-python-sdk version 1.0.1 but there is also a workaround. The error InvalidRowLocationError is encountered if you try to update a row where a cell is indented (see bug description at https://github.com/smartsheet-platform/smartsheet-python-sdk/issues/44). The error NotEditableViaApiError is encountered if you try to update a row where a cell contains formulas, links to other cells, system values, or Gantt values (see bug description at https://github.com/smartsheet-platform/smartsheet-python-sdk/issues/42).
These errors occur no matter which cell in the row you try to update because the smartsheet-python-sdk updates an entire row. It's important to note that the API works. So the workaround is to use the Python requests module to perform the actual update like this:
import requests
url = "https://api.smartsheet.com/2.0/sheets/SHEETID/rows"
payload = "{\"id\": 6436521654937476, \"cells\": [{\"columnId\": 8276294740797316,\"value\": \"new value\"}]}"
# headers omitted from here for privacy
headers = { YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY }
response = requests.request("PUT", url, data=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.text)
In the sample above, the payload contains only the one cell that I wanted to update rather than the entire row. A more readable version of the payload is (a row object with only one cell):
{
"id": 6436521654937476,
"cells": [
{
"columnId": 8276294740797316,
"value": "new value"
}
]
}
The actual issue here is that the request requires you to use PUT instead of POST.
See: http://smartsheet-platform.github.io/api-docs/?shell#update-row(s)
I've found a way to still use the sdk while only updating certain cells in a row where a given row has formulas and things blocking api updates which is related to the NotEditableViaApiError.
for row in sheet.rows:
cell = row.get_column(column_id)
cell.value = 'modified cell value' # edit the cell locally
# gather more cells and add to list of cells for row...
# remove all cells in row and just add back the single cell or list of cells
row.cells = [cell]
print my_sheets.update_rows(sheet_id, [row]) # update sheet
There's still an api call per row for me being able to get things working, but at least there's a way around the issue of only updating certain cells for a given row. This call will only update cells in the row's list and will leave others untouched.

According to https://www.ag-grid.com/javascript-grid-filter-set/, "The grid does not update the filters for you as there are too many use cases...", #agreed.
I am using a Server Side data source with Infinite Paging querying a large set of data. Although, at initial load time, I may be confident the filter is listing all available "choices", I am hoping to find a solution to "reload" the filter at some frequency/event to be certain.
I am attempting to use the resetFilterValues() method of the object returned by a call to gridOptions.api.getFilterInstance(id).
When using a Server Side data source I am receiving the following console.error output:
ag-Grid: Set Filter cannot initialise because you are using a row model that does not contain all rows in the browser. Either use a different filter type, or configure Set Filter such that you provide it with values (Source ag-grid-enterprise.min.js:555
Note: The values method with async value load works splendidly and is written in accordance with recommendation e.g. callback to params.success with values.
I load the filter choices in the Column Header using the following approach:
{
headerName: 'Something',
field: 'SOMETHING',
width: 200,
suppressMenu: false,
suppressFilter: false,
filter: 'agSetColumnFilter',
filterParams: {
values: function (params) {
someAsyncMethodReturningAPIResultsAsArray();
}
newRowsAction: 'keep'
},
menuTabs: ['filterMenuTab']
}
I then attempt to reload the filters at a later time (like when a button is pressed outside the grid) using the following code:
var filter = gridOptions.api.getFilterInstance(id);
filter.resetFilterValues();
This code results in the error expressed above.
Q: Does anyone know how to configure Set Model to return rows as described in the error message? Is there a better way to approach this problem anyone has experience with?
Thanks
This code below can be executed in the postProcessPopup callback and it will call the values() function defined in filterParams every time the popup is opened
var filter = gridOptions.api.getFilterInstance(id);
filter.refreshFilterValues();
Note: The refreshFilterValues function is doing the trick here. It is available in v24 and above. Not too sure about older versions.
How do I take a list of values, iterate through it to create the needed objects then pass that "list" of objects to the API to create multiple rows?
I have been successful in adding a new row with a value using the API example. In that example, two objects are created.
row_a = ss_client.models.Row()
row_b = ss_client.models.Row()
These two objects are passed in the add row function. (Forgive me if I use the wrong terms. Still new to this)
response = ss_client.Sheets.add_rows(
2331373580117892, # sheet_id
[row_a, row_b])
I have not been successful in passing an unknown amount of objects with something like this.
newRowsToCreate = []
for row in new_rows:
rowObject = ss.models.Row()
rowObject.cells.append({
'column_id': PM_columns['Row ID Master'],
'value': row
})
newRowsToCreate.append(rowObject)
# Add rows to sheet
response = ss.Sheets.add_rows(
OH_MkrSheetId, # sheet_id
newRowsToCreate)
This returns this error:
{"code": 1062, "errorCode": 1062, "message": "Invalid row location: You must
use at least 1 location specifier.",
Thank you for any help.
From the error message, it looks like you're missing the location specification for the new rows.
Each row object that you create needs to have a location value set. For example, if you want your new rows to be added to the bottom of your sheet, then you would add this attribute to your rowObject.
rowObject.toBottom=True
You can read about this location specific attribute and how it relates to the Python SDK here.
To be 100% precise here I had to set the attribute differently to make it work:
rowObject.to_bottom = True
I've found the name of the property below:
https://smartsheet-platform.github.io/smartsheet-python-sdk/smartsheet.models.html#module-smartsheet.models.row
To be 100% precise here I had to set the attribute differently to make it work:
Yep, the documentation isn't super clear about this other than in the examples, but the API uses camelCase in Javascript, but the same terms are always in snake_case in the Python API (which is, after all, the Pythonic way to do it!)
Here is my Parse.com page:
What i want, is that when the application starts, it checks in the "currentUpload", if imageFile has any (undefined) or empty rows.(Where there is no "uploaded_image.png", and if there are a empty row, delete the empty row. So i want to delete the rows that does NOT contains "uploaded_image.png" only.
Any ideas? Hope you understand my question.
Use notExist:
query.whereKeyDoesNotExist("imageFile")
query.limit = 1000
query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock { objects, error in
if error == nil {
PBObject.deleteAllInBackground(objects)
}
}
You'll have to set something up that checks if more exist, since you'll only be able to delete 1000 at a time.
I recommend you set this up as a server job as opposed to doing it client side if you're feeling up to it!
I want to build kind of an automatic system to update some race results for a championship. I have an automated spreadsheet were all the results are shown but it takes me a lot to update all of them so I was wondering if it would be possible to make a form in order to update them more easily.
In the form I will enter the driver name and the number o points he won on a race. The championship has 4 races each month so yea, my question is if you guys know a way to update an existing data (stored in a spreadsheet) using a form. Lets say that in the first race, the driver 'X' won 10 points. I will insert this data in a form and then call it from the spreadsheet to show it up, that's right. The problem comes when I want to update the second race results and so on. If the driver 'X' gets on the second race 12 points, is there a way to update the previous 10 points of that driver and put 22 points instead? Or can I add the second race result to the first one automatically? I mean, if I insert on the form the second race results can it look for the driver 'X' entry and add this points to the ones that it previously had. Dunno if it's possible or not.
Maybe I can do it in another way. Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks.
Maybe I missed something in your question but I don't really understand Harold's answer...
Here is a code that does strictly what you asked for, it counts the total cumulative value of 4 numbers entered in a form and shows it on a Spreadsheet.
I called the 4 questions "race number 1", "race number 2" ... and the result comes on row 2 so you can setup headers.
I striped out any non numeric character so you can type responses more freely, only numbers will be retained.
form here and SS here (raw results in sheet1 and count in Sheet2)
script goes in spreadsheet and is triggered by an onFormSubmit trigger.
function onFormSubmit(e) {
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Sheet2');
var responses = []
responses[0] = Number(e.namedValues['race number 1'].toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
responses[1] = Number(e.namedValues['race number 2'].toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
responses[2] = Number(e.namedValues['race number 3'].toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
responses[3] = Number(e.namedValues['race number 4'].toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
var totals = sh.getRange(2,1,1,responses.length).getValues();
for(var n in responses){
totals[0][n]+=responses[n];
}
sh.getRange(2,1,1,responses.length).setValues(totals);
}
edit : I changed the code to allow you to change easily the number of responses... range will update automatically.
EDIT 2 : a version that accepts empty responses using an "if" condition on result:
function onFormSubmit(e) {
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Sheet2');
var responses = []
responses[0] = Number((e.namedValues['race number 1']==null ? 0 :e.namedValues['race number 1']).toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
responses[1] = Number((e.namedValues['race number 2']==null ? 0 :e.namedValues['race number 2']).toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
responses[2] = Number((e.namedValues['race number 3']==null ? 0 :e.namedValues['race number 3']).toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
responses[3] = Number((e.namedValues['race number 4']==null ? 0 :e.namedValues['race number 4']).toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
var totals = sh.getRange(2,1,1,responses.length).getValues();
for(var n in responses){
totals[0][n]+=responses[n];
}
sh.getRange(2,1,1,responses.length).setValues(totals);
}
I believe you can found everything you want here.
It's a form url, when you answer this form you'll have the url of the spreadsheet where the data are stored. One of the information stored is the url to modify your response, if you follow the link it will open the form again and update the spreadsheet in consequence. the code to do this trick is in the second sheet of the spreadsheet.
It's a google apps script code that need to be associated within the form and triggered with an onFormSubmit trigger.
It may be too late now. I believe we need a few things (I have not tried it)
A unique key to map each submitted response, such as User's ID or email.
Two Google Forms:
a. To request the unique key
b. To retrieve relevant data with that unique key
Create a pre-filled URL (See http://www.cagrimmett.com/til/2016/07/07/autofill-google-forms.html)
Open the URL from your form (See Google Apps Script to open a URL)
I'd like to know if there's a way to get the original value of the cell from within the onEdit() event.
For example:
Cell A1's current value is "hello"
I edit A1 it by changing it to "world"
Right now, when I try to get the value from the active range, I'd get "world"
But I would also like to have the possibility to get the original value, i.e. "hello". Is that currently possible?
You can use onEdit(e) and e.oldValue if you're dealing with a single cell. The example below adds the original value to A1 when any cell is edited. 'undefined' if the cell was blank.
function onEdit(e) {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var cell = sheet.getActiveCell();
var origValue = e.oldValue
sheet.getRange('A1').setValue(origValue);
}
The only code that would come close to this is to use an onOpen exit to save
the initial value. The initial value could be saved in several ways. There
are "user properties". I don't know how they work, yet. I am new to this.
You could also use a "hidden" sheet to save the value, in the "onOpen" exit.
There may be other ways, that I don't know about.
The problem becomes more difficult with an increasing number of cells for which
you want to save the original value.
By-the-way, you should understand that the "onOpen" routine fires at the time
the spreadsheet is opened. It so happens, that the end-user also has access and
can change cell values before the onOpen handler finishes its execution. You may
not capture all of your initial values.
One final thing you should know. The onEdit trigger is NOT fired when an UNDO or REDO
event occurs. The cell's contents could change and you will not know it.
I don't know how a validation routine works. If the routine rejects a value, will
the spreadsheet restore the original value? If it does, then this might get around
the onOpen problem. If it only tells the user the value is invalid, it will not be
of much help.
A really round about way that may work, but is very complicated is to save the image
before the spreadsheet closes. You post all the "after" images to a second spreadsheet.
Then in your onEdit handler you look at the corresponding cell in the other spreadsheet.
You then decide to restore the previous image or allow the new image to proceed.
Lastly a wild idea of using a data table in place of the second spreadsheet.
I am just learning about all of these concepts, so don't ask me how to implement them.
I just understand that they MIGHT be possible. For coding and support purposes they
may not be the best options. But since the current script service does not provide
before image access, it is about the best I could do. You have to understand that this
google interface is a client-server application. Your scripts run on the server. The data changes occur in the "clients" (end-users) browser.
One final note: the onEdit trigger does not fire for an UNDO or REDO change to a cell.
So the cell could change and your script is not aware of it.
I don't think that's possible.
I imagine you could get that functionality by having a exact copy of your sheet on a second sheet that updates automatically when your 'onEdit' functions ends.
Until that update, data on the second sheet will have the former value.
A bit tricky but why not ?-)
EDIT : seems to be the 'question of the day', see this post and Henrique Abreu's pertinent comment.
When you change the value of a cell diagrammatically, you can use the setComment method to store the original value as a comment in that cell.
What you basically need to do is to create a shadow sheet (which you can protect and hide or even have it in a totally separate spreadsheet) and use the IMPORTRANGE function to get the values of the original sheet into the shadow sheet (This gives enough delay time to get the old value that was in the cell before it got edited).
=IMPORTRANGE("enter your original sheet's ID","enter the range you wish to get from the sheet")
Please note that using this code, when editing multiple cells at the same time, the function will only work on the first cell.
function onEdit(){
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var originalSheet = sheet.getSheetByName('Original');
var shadowSheet = sheet.getSheetByName('Shadow');
var editedCell = originalSheet.getActiveCell();
var cellColumn = editedCell.getColumn();
var cellRow = editedCell.getRow();
var oldValue = shadowSheet.getRange(cellRow, cellColumn).getValue();
var cellValue = editedCell.getValue();
var editorMail = Session.getActiveUser().getEmail(); \\getting the editor email
if ("The condition you want to meet for the onEdit function to activate"){
editedCell.setNote(editorMail + "\n" + new Date + "\n" + oldValue + " -> " + cellValue);
}
}
