Trying to do Dynamic Equity Split calculations in Google Sheets

new to using javascript in Google Sheets. I am trying to create a sheet that automatically calculates what business partners will receive based upon their dynamic split percentage and the incoming money. The percentage comes from one cell, but each payment made to the partners will be entered in a column. Here's what I have so far:
/**
* Creates a Date Stamp if a column is edited.
* Also performs dynamic split calculations
*/
//CORE VARIABLES
// The column you want to check if something is entered.
var COLUMNTOCHECK = 13;
// Where you want the date time stamp offset from the input location. [row, column]
var DATETIMELOCATION = [0,-1];
// Where the calculations will be performed for the Partners.
var PARTNERONELOCATION = [0, 1];
var PARTNERTWOLOCATION = [0, 2];
var PARTNERTHREELOCATION = [0, 3];
// Sheet you are working on
var SHEETNAME1 = 'Sheet1'
function onEdit(e) {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var partnerOnePercent = sheet.getRange("G2").getValue();
var partnerOnePaySource = sheet.getRange("M2").getValue();
var partnerTwoPercent = sheet.getRange("G3").getValue();
var partnerTwoPaySource = sheet.getRange("M2").getValue();
var partnerThreePercent = sheet.getRange("G4").getValue();
var partnerThreePaySource = sheet.getRange("M2").getValue();
//checks that we're on the correct sheet.
if(sheet.getSheetName() == SHEETNAME1 ) {
var selectedCell = ss.getActiveCell();
//checks the column to ensure it is on the one we want to cause the date and calculations to appear.
if( selectedCell.getColumn() == COLUMNTOCHECK) {
var dateTimeCell = selectedCell.offset(DATETIMELOCATION[0],DATETIMELOCATION[1]);
dateTimeCell.setValue(new Date());
var partnerOneCell = selectedCell.offset(PARTNERONELOCATION[0],PARTNERONELOCATION[1]);
partnerOneCell.setValue((partnerOnePercent/100)*partnerOnePaySource);
var partnerTwoCell = selectedCell.offset(PARTNERTWOLOCATION[0],PARTNERTWOLOCATION[1]);
partnerTwoCell.setValue((partnerTwoPercent/100)*partnerTwoPaySource);
var partnerThreeCell = selectedCell.offset(PARTNERTHREELOCATION[0],PARTNERTHREELOCATION[1]);
partnerThreeCell.setValue((partnerThreePercent/100)*partnerThreePaySource);
}
}
}
The thing I would like it to do is when I enter a payment into the column (column 13), Is for the payment to be split into the partner location cells (var partnerOneCell, var partnerTwoCell, var partnerThreeCell) that are offset from the cell that the payment amount is typed in, and I only want it to be calculated by the percentages as they are at the moment the payment amount is entered. Any help would be appreciated.
Right now it is only calculating based upon cell M2 (row 2, column 13). I want it to be able to calculate based upon the amount I enter in any cell within that column, and only the cell I am currently updating. I think that this has something to do with getActiveRange or something, but I'm not familiar enough with these methods.
Edit: Upon testing, it also seems that row 3 column 14 is reflecting a calculation of partnerOnePaySource*partnerOnePercent with PaySource coming from row 3 column 13 (M3), though I'm not sure why.

Alright everyone, after reading over my code, I realized how I could use the getActiveCell method within the PaySource variables.
var partnerOnePercent = sheet.getRange("G2").getValue();
var partnerOnePaySource = ss.getActiveCell().getValue();
var partnerTwoPercent = sheet.getRange("G3").getValue();
var partnerTwoPaySource = ss.getActiveCell().getValue();
var partnerThreePercent = sheet.getRange("G4").getValue();
var partnerThreePaySource = ss.getActiveCell().getValue();
With this I was able to fix my problem and it now works.

Google Sheets Calendar

I would like some help in pulling certain data from a google form linked to a spreadsheet and set a certain value in the date of a certain employee. For example if he/she marked as Vacation Leave then the letter V will be marked under the Date. I have attached the link to my calendar to give an example, I have tried searching the net and this is my second time posting here.
I started the Code but I am stuck in actually finding the Cell for a certain date and inserting the letter.

function setData(){
//Spreadsheets
var ss = SpreadsheetApp;
var data = ss.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Data");
var calendar = ss.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Calendar");
//Get last row / Individual Cells from Form
var lRow = data.getLastRow();
var lRowData = data.getRange(lRow,1,1,17).getValues();
var approval = data.getRange(lRow,17,1,1).getValue();
var leave = data.getRange(lRow,9,1,1).getValue();
var agentName = data.getRange(lRow, 5,1,1).getValue();
var dateBefore = data.getRange(lRow, 10,1,1).getValue();
var dateAfter = data.getRange(lRow, 11,1,1).getValue();
//Calander Variable Arrays
var allDates = calendar.getRange("LA1:NJ1").getValues();
var allNames = calendar.getRange("A4:A160").getValues();
for(var i = 0; i<allNames.length; i++){
if (approval === "Approved" && allNames[i][0] === agentName){
//Here I need it to insert the dates under the correct name and date with a value of V H S M U T.
};
};
};

You are building a spreadsheet-based Leave Calendar based on information from a form response. Based on your existing Calendar, you are having problems identifying the relevant leave dates, and then filling calendar cells to indicate proposed leave.
The problem is there are no fields in rows 1,2 or 3 of Calendar that have the same date format as the Start Date and End Date fields on Form. As a result, there's no easy way to search for a match of the form data fields.
The solution, in my view, is to change the format of the date fields in rows 2 and 3 and enable a search to be match.
Row 2
the existing format is "d" - day of the month (Numeric)
change the format to match the Form Start/End dates: "d-MMM-yyyy".
the font colour for this field can be used to "hide" these dates, and the column width reduced also.
Row 3
the existing format is "E" - day of the week (Name)
change the format to combine the existing formats of rows #2 and #3 - "E-d"
Aspects of the script
the form data is retrieved as getDisplayValues(). The purpose of this is to get the date as a string to facilitate the search.
Two sets of Calendar data are obtained
1) the dates row (Row#2)
2) the names column (Col #1). The Javascript map method is used to convert names from a 2D array to a 1D array. This creates an array that can be easily searched.
the Javascript indexOf method is used to find the Column match for the start and end dates, and to match the name in the Calendar Column (which yields the Row)
the script loops through the number of days leave to create a temporary array of "V" values.
using the row number and the start and end column numbers, a range can be defined on calendar and then updated from the values in the temporary array.
Presumably your function would be triggered by onFormSubmit(e).

Extract ranges from multiple workbooks / sheets

I have a range of cells (ex: L1:S22) which will send email alert when the values are > 0 in that particular range from active spreadsheet
So far its only sending from the active spreadsheet range. I want it to be called from all other workbooks which is stored in a folder and send email according to that
function CheckSales(){
var app = SpreadsheetApp;
var activeSheet = app.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var data=activeSheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var emailAddress=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1").getRange("B2").getValue();
var resultArr=[];
//To Loop through the whole data Rows
for(var i=1;i<data.length;i++)
{
//Takes columns from L to S (To loop through the Columns)
for(var j=11;j<19;j++)
{
var cellVal=data[i][j];
Logger.log(cellVal)
if(cellVal>0)
{
//Stores the Part No, Month Header Value of the Column, Cell Value which is greater then 0
resultArr.push([data[i][0],data[0][j],cellVal])
}
}
}
if(resultArr.length>0)
{
var subject = 'Range exceeded Alert';
//Creates a body through the obtained values
var body='';
for(var m=0;m<resultArr.length;m++)
{
body+="For Part No "+resultArr[m][0].toString()+" and Month "+resultArr[m][1].toString()+", Value is "+resultArr[m][2].toString()+"<br>";
}
MailApp.sendEmail({to:emailAddress,subject:subject,htmlBody:body});
}
}
now the output showing the part number which have exceeded the values after 6 months.
For Part No 60009257001 and Month 7MO, Value is 800
For Part No 60009259007 and Month 12MO, Value is 28032
For Part No 60009260011 and Month >18MO, Value is 74670
For Part No 60009260012 and Month 12MO, Value is 17600
For Part No 60009260013 and Month 10MO, Value is 26389
I expect the output to show all the part numbers from different workbooks

for (var i in activeSheet) {
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(activeSheet[i])
var sheet = app.getActiveSheet();
var data = activeSheet[i].getDataRange().getValues();
}

you can loop through the different data ranges in the same way as done here with "data" Variable.
For example,
var data=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Battery').getDataRange().getValues();
//For Loop for data
data2=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Other Sheet").getDataRange().getValues();
//for Loop for data2

Get range of a sheet up to the last cell containing data

I want to select the range of 2 columns till the last row with a value. Now I use this code:
var test = declSheet.getRange('Potjes!A:B');
Form this sheet:
The result I get is this:
How can I select till the last row with value?

You can use Sheet.getDataRange function which:
Returns a Range corresponding to the dimensions in which data is
present.
It seems like you are only interested in column A and B so:
// var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
// var sheet = spreadsheet.getActiveSheet();
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange();
var desiredRange = sheet.getRange("A1:B" + dataRange.getLastRow());
// desiredRange will consist of A1:B5 in OP example

How do I compare string data between cells in a google spreadsheet?

If I copy/paste the information into both cells my script runs correctly and matches the strings in the cells to the correct row for the user so I can lookup their email. If I let my google form fill the first cell however the data in the two cells no longer matches. I'm probably overlooking something obvious about comparing the strings but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Here is the code I have so far.
var rows = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getLastRow();
var cell = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(rows, 2);
var value = cell.getValue().toString();
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
ss.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheets()[1]);
var sheet;
var teacher;
var cc = "no match";
for(var h=1; h <= ss.getLastRow(); h++)
{
sheet = ss.getActiveSheet().getRange(h, 2);
teacher = sheet.getValue().toString();
if (value == teacher)
cc = ss.getActiveSheet().getRange(h, 1).getValue().toString();
}

Try to use watchdog (clicking on line number) or some message box to see what happens
i.e. Browser.msgBox(teacher); bebore testing the value of value ^^
and may be don t use the "value" as a variable name, it could generate problem to execute the script.
