I have a table with a filter.
If I use this code to select the row that I clicked before add a filter it retrieve incorrect index:
handleRowPress : function(evt){
var selectedRowNum = evt.getSource().indexOfItem(evt.getParameter("listItem"));
...
},
For example if I have 5 results A B C D E and after filter I have C and E, whith previous code if I click on E, selectedRowNum is 2, but I want 5!
You can get the binding context path of your selected list item and then get the index of the row.
var itemContextPath = evt.getParameter("listItem").getBindingContextPath();
var indexOfRow = parseInt(itemContextPath.substring(itemContextPath.lastIndexOf("/")+1, itemContextPath.length));

What I need is to insert rows according to the integer value in a column while parsing through the values in the remaining columns to separate their values on the new inserted rows.
I have a table like this
ID
Household
User Count
Show 1
Show 2
Show 3
Show 4
123
House 1
2
Shooter
Dark
1234
House 2
4
Awake
Arrow
Lou
Ozark
And I need an expanded table where each row represents an individual user
ID
Household
User Count
Show 1
Show 2
Show 3
Show 4
123
House 1
1
Shooter
123
House 1
1
Dark
1234
House 2
1
Awake
1234
House 2
1
Arrow
1234
House 2
1
Lou
1234
House 2

I need to solve this problem using either Google Apps Script or PostgreSQL.
In your situation, when Google Apps Script is used, how about the following sample script?
Sample script:
Please copy and paste the following script to the script editor of Spreadsheet and save the script. And, please set the source and destination sheet names.
function myFunction() {
const srcSheetName = "Sheet1"; // Please set source sheet name.
const dstSheetName = "Sheet2"; // Please set source sheet name.
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
const sheet = ss.getSheetByName(srcSheetName);
const [header, ...values] = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
const res = [header, ...values.flatMap(([a, b, c, ...d]) => {
const len = d.length;
return [...Array(c)].map((_, i) => {
const temp = [...Array(i).fill(null), d[i]];
return [a, b, 1, ...temp, ...Array(len - temp.length).fill(null)];
});
})];
ss.getSheetByName(dstSheetName).getRange(1, 1, res.length, res[0].length).setValues(res);
}
When this script is run, the values are retrieved from source sheet, and the values are converted, and then, the converted values are put to the destination sheet. In this case, when your sample input table is used, the sample output table can be obtained.
If you want to use this script as a custom function, how about the following sample script? When your showing input table is used, please put a custom function like =SAMPLE(A1:G3) to a cell. By this, the result values are returned.
function SAMPLE(v) {
const [header, ...values] = v;
return [header, ...values.flatMap(([a, b, c, ...d]) => {
const len = d.length;
return [...Array(c)].map((_, i) => {
const temp = [...Array(i).fill(null), d[i]];
return [a, b, 1, ...temp, ...Array(len - temp.length).fill(null)];
});
})];
}
Note:
This sample script is prepared from your sample input and output tables. So, when you changed the table or your actual Spreadsheet is different from your sample input table, the script might not be able to be used. Please be careful about this.
Reference:
map()
I have a script that looks into values in column G and if the correspondent cell in column A is empty, sends me an email.
--- WHAT WORKS --
It works ok for static values: it sends one email per each not empty cell in column G for which there is no value in column A
--- WHAT DOESN'T WORK --
It sends several emails for what I assume it's every Column G cell (empty or not) when the column A values are fetched from another tab. That way it's like all G and A cells have data, so I get multiple unwanted emails.
This is the script code:
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const sh = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet to send emails');
const data = sh.getRange('A2:G'+sh.getLastRow()).getValues();
data.forEach(r=>{
let overdueValue = r[0];
if (overdueValue === ""){
let name = r[6];
let message = 'Text ' + name;
let subject = 'TEXT.'
MailApp.sendEmail('myemail#gmail.com', subject, message);
}
});
}
And this is the link to the test sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OKQlm0PjEjDB7PXvt34Og2fa4vPZWnvLazTEawEtOXg/edit?usp=sharing
In this test case, I "should" only get one email, related to ID 55555. With the script as is, I get one related to 55555 and several others "undefined".
To avoid e-mail spam, I didn't add the script to that sheet but it shows the "Vlookup" idea.
Can anyone give me a hand, please?
Thank you in advance
Issue:
The issue with your original script is that the sh.getLastRow returns 1000 (it also processes those rows that doesn't have contents, result to undefined)
Fix 1: Get specific last row of column G:
const gValues = sh.getRange('G1:G').getValues();
const gLastRow = gValues.filter(String).length;
or
Fix 2: Filter data
const data = sh.getRange('A2:G' + sh.getLastRow()).getValues().filter(r => r[6]);
Note:
As Kris mentioned in the comments, there is a specific case where getting the last row above will fail (same with getNextDataCell). This will not properly get the last row WHEN there are blank rows in between the first and last row of the column. If you have this kind of data, then use the 2nd method which is filtering the data.
If your data in column G does not have blank cells in between the first and last row, then any method should work.
I checked your test sheet, and sh.getLastRow() is 1000.
OPTION 1
If column G won't have empty cells between filled ones, then you can do this:
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet to send emails");
// get the first cell in column G
var gHeader = sheet.getRange(1, 7);
// equivelent of using CTRL + down arrow to find the last da
var lastRow = gcell.getNextDataCell(SpreadsheetApp.Direction.DOWN).getRow();
const data = sheet.getRange(2, 1, lastRow, 7).getValues();
OPTION 2
Add another condition to your code - like this:
data.forEach(r=>{
let overdueValue = r[0];
let name = r[6]
// check if the value in col A is blankd and col G is not blank
if (overdueValue === "" && name !== ""){
let message = 'Text ' + name;
let subject = 'TEXT.'
MailApp.sendEmail('myemail#gmail.com', subject, message);
}
});
And to speed it up, use a named range to limit how many rows it has to iterate through:
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const data = ss.getRangeByName("Your_NamedRange_Here").getValues();
Is it possible to get the values from a sap.m.Table without clicking a specific entry?
With an event I can get the values by the actual context but what I need is to get the whole items with the specific characteristic.
For example my table has the following columns (column D is not invisible):
A B C D
with the entries shown below:
A B C D
1 2 3 4
4 b 2 1
What I need now is the first row for example:
1 2 3 4
I want to write something like
table.getItem("A")[0]
to get 1 as a result.
How can I achieve this?
You can get all the Items in the table using getItems(), which will give you an Array of Items. You can then get the bindingContext for any of the Items.
var iRowIndex = 0; //For First row in the table
var oTable = this.getView.byId("myTable"),
oModel = oTable.getModel(),
aItems = oTable.getItems();
if(iRowIndex < aItems.length){
oModel.getProperty("ColA",aItems[iRowIndex].getBindingContext());
}
The script I need should read the date in column B and copy it to column D with european date format and should sort column D (newest date first, oldest last)
It should be able to handle more than one row added at once ..
(No, sadly I cant change the way the spreadsheet gets input)
Code
/**
* Extracts the date of the active cell and use it to set the value
* of the cell to columns to the right
* #example active cell value "John (08/08/2017)"
* //returns 08/08/2017
*/
function myFunction() {
var origin = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange();
var rowOffset = 0;
var columnOffset = 2;
var destination = origin.offset(rowOffset, columnOffset)
var value = /\((.*?)\)/.exec(origin.getValue())[1];
destination.setValue(value)
}

Extending Google Sheets
Assuming John (08/08/2017) is in B2, put this in B2:
=substitute(substitute(index(split(B2," "),0,2),"(",""),")","")
If you don't want script.
Ahab stated in 2010: the complex looking number based on the Timestamp has one important property, the number can not change when rows are deleted or inserted.
As long as the submitted data is not changed by inserting deleting rows the simple formula =ArrayFormula(ROW(A2:A) - 1) may be the easiest one to use.
For other situations there is no nice reliable solution. :(
Now we live in 2015. Maybe times have changed?
I need a reliable way to number entries using a form.
Maybe a script can do the trick? A script that can add 1 to each entry?
That certain entry has to keep that number even when rows are deleted or inserted.
I created this simple spreadsheet in which I added 1,2, and 3 manually,please have a look:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H9EXns8-7m9oLbCrTyIZhLKXk6TGxzWlO9pOvQSODYs/edit?usp=sharing
The script has to find the maximum of the former entries, which is 3, and then add 1 automatically.
Who can help me with this?
Grtz, Bij

entry?
Yes, that would be what you need to resort to. I took the liberty of entering this in your example ss:
function onEdit(e) {
var watchColumns = [1, 2]; //when text is entered in any of these columns, auto-numbering will be triggered
var autoColumn = 3;
var headerRows = 1;
var watchSheet = "Form";
var range = e.range;
var sheet = range.getSheet();
if (e.value !== undefined && sheet.getName() == watchSheet) {
if (watchColumns.indexOf(range.getColumn()) > -1) {
var row = range.getRow();
if (row > headerRows) {
var autoCell = sheet.getRange(row, autoColumn);
if (!autoCell.getValue()) {
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var temp = 1;
for (var i = headerRows, length = data.length; i < length; i++)
if (data[i][autoColumn - 1] > temp)
temp = data[i][autoColumn - 1];
autoCell.setValue(temp + 1);
}
}
}
}
}
For me the best way is to create a query in a second sheet pulling everything from form responses in to second column and so on. then use the first column for numbering.
In your second sheet B1 you would use:
=QUERY(Form!1:1004)
In your second sheet A2 you would use:
=ARRAYFORMULA(if(B2:B="",,Row(B2:B)-1))
I made a second sheet in your example spreadsheet, have a look at it.
