I am new to javascript or google apps script. I am using this function to import data into MySQL database from a google spreadsheet. This sheet has over 16000 records and I would want to breakdown the import into smaller batches of 2000 records. In the function createGASTrigger() how would I change my logic to grab first 2000 records from the spreadsheet in the first iteration and then the next 2000 records in second iteration and so on.
Function 1
var address = 'database_IP_address';
var rootPwd = 'root_password';
var user = 'user_name';
var userPwd = 'user_password';
var db = 'database_name';
var root = 'root';
var instanceUrl = 'jdbc:mysql://' + address;
var dbUrl = instanceUrl + '/' + db;
function myFunction() {
var stime = new Date();
var col1;
var col2;
var col3;
var dbconnection = Jdbc.getConnection(dbUrl, root, rootPwd);
var statement = dbconnection.createStatement();
var googlesheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('sheet1');
var data = googlesheet.getDataRange().getValues();
dbconnection.setAutoCommit(false)
for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) {
col1 = data[i][0];
col2 = data[i][1];
col3 = data[i][2];
var sql = "{call [dbo].[sp_googlesheetimport](?,?,?)}";
statement = dbconnection.prepareCall(sql);
statement.setString(1, col1);
statement.setString(2, col2);
statement.setString(3, col3);
statement.addBatch();
}
statement.executeBatch();
dbconnection.commit();
statement.close();
dbconnection.close();
var etime = new Date();
Logger.log('Exec time: ' + (etime.getTime() - stime.getTime()));
}
Function 2
function createGASTrigger() {
var varUserPropertiesService = PropertiesService.getUserProperties();
var varUserTriggerId = varUserPropertiesService.getProperty("myFunction");
var varUserTrigger = ScriptApp.getProjectTriggers();
for (var i in varUserTrigger) {
if (varUserTrigger[i].getUniqueId() == varUserTriggerId)
try
{
ScriptApp.deleteTrigger(varUserTrigger[i]);
}
catch(e)
{
Utilities.sleep(30000);
ScriptApp.deleteTrigger(varUserTrigger[i]);
}
}
myFunction();
var userProperties = PropertiesService.getUserProperties();
try
{
var nextTrigger = ScriptApp.newTrigger("myFunction").timeBased().after(1 * 120 * 1000).create();
}
catch(e)
{
Utilities.sleep(30000);
var nextTrigger = ScriptApp.newTrigger("myFunction").timeBased().after(1 * 120 * 1000).create();
}
}
I haven't tested this but I think this is a good starting point.
function myFunction() {
var stime = new Date();
var col1;
var col2;
var col3;
var dbconnection = Jdbc.getConnection(dbUrl, root, rootPwd);
var statement = dbconnection.createStatement();
var googlesheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('sheet1');
var data = googlesheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var itrows=1000;
var complete=false;
if(PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty('iteration'))
{
var iteration=Number(PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty('iteration') + 1);
}
else
{
var iteration=Number(PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('iteration', 1));
}
var max=itrows * iteration;
var min=max - itrows + 1;
if(max>data.length-1)
{
max=data.length-1;
complete=true;
}
dbconnection.setAutoCommit(false)
for (var i=min;i<=max;i++)
{
col1 = data[i][0];
col2 = data[i][1];
col3 = data[i][2];
var sql = "{call [dbo].[sp_googlesheetimport](?,?,?)}";
statement = dbconnection.prepareCall(sql);
statement.setString(1, col1);
statement.setString(2, col2);
statement.setString(3, col3);
statement.addBatch();
}
statement.executeBatch();
dbconnection.commit();
statement.close();
dbconnection.close();
if(complete)
{
PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().deleteProperty('iteration');
}
var etime = new Date();
Logger.log('Exec time: ' + (etime.getTime() - stime.getTime()));
}
function createGASTrigger() {
var varUserPropertiesService = PropertiesService.getUserProperties();
var varUserTriggerId = varUserPropertiesService.getProperty("myFunction");
var varUserTrigger = ScriptApp.getProjectTriggers();
for (var i=0;i<varUserTrigger.length;i++)
{
if (varUserTrigger[i].getUniqueId() == varUserTriggerId)
{
ScriptApp.deleteTrigger(varUserTrigger[i]);
break;
}
}
var userProperties = PropertiesService.getUserProperties();
var nextTrigger = ScriptApp.newTrigger("myFunction").timeBased().after(1 * 120 * 1000).create();
}
Either store a page value in PropertiesService.getScriptProperties() or add a value to the spreadsheet for all rows as you add them

I'm writing a google docs apps script in making a google docs add-on. When the user clicks a button in the sidebar, an apps script function is called named executeSpellChecking. This apps script function makes a remote POST call after getting the document's text.
total time = time that takes from when user clicks the button, until the .withSuccessHandler(, that means until executeSpellChecking returns = 2000 ms
function time = time that takes for the executeSpellChecking call to complete from its start to its end = 1400 ms
t3 = time that takes for the remote POST call to be completed = 800ms
t4 = time that takes for the same remote POST call to complete in a VB.NET app = 200ms
Problems:
Why total time to complete is bigger than total function time by a staggering 600ms, what else happens there? shouldn't they be equal? How can I improve it?
Why t3 is bigger than t4 ? Shouldn't they be equal? Is there something wrong with POST requests when happening from .gs? How can I improve it ?
the code is (sidebar.html):
function runSpellChecking() {
gb_IsSpellcheckingRunning = true;
//gb_isAutoCorrecting = false;
gi_CorrectionCurrWordIndex = -1;
$("#btnStartCorr").attr("disabled", true);
$("#divMistakes").html("");
this.disabled = true;
//$('#error').remove();
var origin = $('input[name=origin]:checked').val();
var dest = $('input[name=dest]:checked').val();
var savePrefs = $('#save-prefs').is(':checked');
//var t1 = new Date().getTime();
console.time("total time");
google.script.run
.withSuccessHandler(
function(textAndTranslation, element) {
if (gb_IsSpellCheckingEnabled) {
console.timeEnd("total time");
//var t2 = new Date().getTime();
go_TextAndTranslation = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(textAndTranslation));
var pagewords = textAndTranslation.pagewords;
var spellchecked = textAndTranslation.spellchecked;

Thank you in advance for any help.
EDIT: I updated the code to use console.time according to the suggestion, the results are:
total time: 2048.001953125 ms
Jun 21, 2021, 3:01:40 PM Debug POST time: 809ms
Jun 21, 2021, 3:01:41 PM Debug function time: 1408ms
So the problem is not how time is measured. function time is 1400ms, while the time it takes to return is 2000ms, a difference of 600ms and the POST time is a staggering 800ms, instead of 200ms it takes in VB.net to make the exact same POST call.
Use console.time() and console.timeEnd():
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/base/console
I modified the code for you. console.timeEnd() outputs the time duration in the console automatically, so I removed the alert for you that showed the time difference.
You might want the strings that I used as the parameter as some sort of constant variable, so there are no magic strings used twice. I hope this is of use to you.

I am coding a room booking system using combination of Google forms and Google calendar.
When there is a new booking order:
An event will be automatically created on the selected calendar.
An edit response URL will also be generated automatically and put in column 10 of the spreadsheet in the same row where the form answer was inserted.
// This is the function to generate the edit URL (which works perfectly).
function getEditUrl(request) {
var formRes = FormApp.openById('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX');
var sheetRes = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('YYYYYYYYYY');
var data = sheetRes.getDataRange().getValues();
var urlCol = 10;
var responses = formRes.getResponses();
var timestamps = [],
urls = [],
resultUrls = [];
for (var i = 0; i < responses.length; i++) {
timestamps.push(responses[i].getTimestamp().setMilliseconds(0));
urls.push(responses[i].getEditResponseUrl());
}
for (var j = 1; j < data.length; j++) {
resultUrls.push([data[j][0] ? urls[timestamps.indexOf(data[j][0].setMilliseconds(0))] : '']);
}
sheetRes.getRange(2, urlCol, resultUrls.length).setValues(resultUrls);
};
However, problem occurs when there are more than 2 orders; as the next order will delete the calendar event from the previous order.
// This is the function to update the calendar event.
function updateCalendar(request) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var range = sheet.getRange(2, 1, lastRow, 13);
var values = range.getDisplayValues();
var calendar = CalendarApp.getCalendarById('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX#group.calendar.google.com');
for (var i = 0; i < responses.length; i++) {
getConflicts(request);
if (request.eventConflict == "conflict") {
sheet.getRange(lastRow, 11).setValue("conflict");
break;
} else if (request.eventConflict == "approve") {
var newEvent = calendar.createEvent("booked", request.date, request.endTime);
var newEventId = newEvent.getId().split('#')[0];
sheet.getRange(lastRow, 11).setValue("approve");
sheet.getRange(lastRow, 12).setValue(newEventId);
break;
}
}
for (var j = 1; j < values.length; j++) {
if (values[j][10] == "approve") {
var eventEditId = calendar.getEventSeriesById(values[j][11]);
eventEditId.deleteEventSeries();
sheet.getRange(j + 2, 11).setValue("");
getConflicts(request);
if (request.eventConflict == "approve" && values[j][10].length > 1) {
var newEvent = calendar.createEvent("booked", request.date, request.endTime);
var newEventId = newEvent.getId().split('#')[0];
sheet.getRange(j + 2, 11).setValue("approve");
sheet.getRange(j + 2, 12).setValue(newEventId);
break;
} else {
sheet.getRange(j + 2, 11).setValue("conflict");
break;
}
}
}
};
My questions:
How to make sure that when respondent edits his/her own response, it will always update event from the same column as the edit URL? --> I have separate function that will send edit URL to respondents
When there is more than two submission, the 3rd submission will delete event of the 2nd one. (I am sure the issue is on the updateCalendar() function).
I have been struggling so much for the past few days trying to figure out the best way to come up with best loop method. Any help / response is greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
This is the column description of the sheets (separated with |):
Timestamp
Email Address
name
Check-in date
Check-out date
Room
No. of people
total day
total
edit URL
Event Conflict
Event ID
This is the function to get event conflicts in the calendar:
function getConflicts(request){
var conflicts = request.calendar.getEvents(request.date, request.endTime);
if (conflicts.length > 0) {
request.eventConflict = "conflict";
} else {
request.eventConflict = "approve"
}
};
And this is the main function that will be triggered on formsubmit:
function main(){
var request = new Submission(lastRow);
getEndTime(request);
draftEmail(request);
updateCalendar(request);
};
This is the screenshot of the sheet
Finally I found one way to retrieve the edited row by using e.range method. So basically I created another sheet inside the same spreadsheet. When there is a new submission, it will automatically copy the new submission to the second sheet. And when there is an edited submission, it will go through the copy sheet to find the edited row, and then edit it (as well as the calendar). Credit to Tedinoz

I am using the script made by Mike Seekwell [Link] for connecting a MySQL database to a Sheet, and it works.
My problem is that I need it to run always from the first cell of the first sheet, while actually it can run from every active cell of every active sheet.
How can I modify this thing?

I solved the problem. Not in the most elegant way, but it is a solution...
In order to run the script always on the same sheet, I substitute two variables.
The first variable to substitute is the following one:
var sheet = doc.getActiveSheet();
With this one (so it is always the first tab)
var sheet = doc.getSheets()[0];
Then the following one:
var cell = doc.getActiveSheet().getActiveCell();
With this one (so it is possible to define from which cell the script has to start, in this example from A1)
var cell = sheet.getRange('A1');
I'm getting HTML from a forum url, and parsing the post count of the user from their profile page. I don't know how to write the parsed number into the Google spreadsheet.
It should go account by account in column B till last row and update the column A with count.
The script doesn't give me any errors, but it doesn't set the retrieved value into the spreadsheet.
function msg(message){
Browser.msgBox(message);
}
function onOpen() {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
ui.createMenu("Update")
.addItem('Update Table', 'updatePosts')
.addToUi();
}
function getPostCount(profileUrl){
var html = UrlFetchApp.fetch(profileUrl).getContentText();
var sliced = html.slice(0,html.search('Posts Per Day'));
sliced = sliced.slice(sliced.search('<dt>Total Posts</dt>'),sliced.length);
postCount = sliced.slice(sliced.search("<dd> ")+"<dd> ".length,sliced.search("</dd>"));
return postCount;
}
function updatePosts(){
if(arguments[0]===false){
showAlert = false;
} else {
showAlert=true;
}
var spreadSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var accountSheet = spreadSheet.getSheetByName("account-stats");
var statsLastCol = statsSheet.getLastColumn();
var accountCount = accountSheet.getLastRow();
var newValue = 0;
var oldValue = 0;
var totalNewPosts = 0;
for (var i=2; i<=accountCount; i++){
newValue = parseInt(getPostCount(accountSheet.getRange(i, 9).getValue()));
oldValue = parseInt(accountSheet.getRange(i, 7).getValue());
totalNewPosts = totalNewPosts + newValue - oldValue;
accountSheet.getRange(i, 7).setValue(newValue);
statsSheet.getRange(i,statsLastCol).setValue(newValue-todaysValue);
}
if(showAlert==false){
return 0;
}
msg(totalNewPosts+" new post found!");
}
function valinar(needle, haystack){
haystack = haystack[0];
for (var i in haystack){
if(haystack[i]==needle){
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
The is the first time I'm doing something like this and working from an example from other site.
I have one more question. In function getPostCount I send the function profileurl. Where do I declare that ?
Here is how you get the URL out of the spreadsheet:
function getPostCount(profileUrl){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var thisSheet = ss.getSheetByName("List1");
var getNumberOfRows = thisSheet.getLastRow();
var urlProfile = "";
var sliced = "";
var A_Column = "";
var arrayIndex = 0;
var rngA2Bx = thisSheet.getRange(2, 2, getNumberOfRows, 1).getValues();
for (var i = 2; i < getNumberOfRows + 1; i++) { //Start getting urls from row 2
//Logger.log('count i: ' + i);
arrayIndex = i-2;
urlProfile = rngA2Bx[arrayIndex][0];
//Logger.log('urlProfile: ' + urlProfile);
var html = UrlFetchApp.fetch(urlProfile).getContentText();
sliced = html.slice(0,html.search('Posts Per Day'));
var postCount = sliced.slice(sliced.search("<dd> ")+"<dd> ".length,sliced.search("</dd>"));
sliced = sliced.slice(sliced.search('<dt>Total Posts</dt>'),sliced.length);
postCount = sliced.slice(sliced.search("<dd> ")+"<dd> ".length,sliced.search("</dd>"));
Logger.log('postCount: ' + postCount);
A_Column = thisSheet.getRange(i, 1);
A_Column.setValue(postCount);
};
}
You're missing var in front of one of your variables:
postCount = sliced.slice(sliced.search("<dd> ")+"<dd> ".length,sliced.search("</dd>"));
That won't work. Need to put var in front. var postCount = ....
In this function:
function updatePosts(){
if(arguments[0]===false){
showAlert = false;
} else {
showAlert=true;
}
There is no array named arguments anywhere in your code. Where is arguments defined and how is it getting any values put into it?
I'm working on a little Google Apps Script that will export event data from a selected Google Calendar to a new Google Spreadsheet for a selected date range. One problem I'm having is that the times when copied over to the spreadsheet are off by three hours. Any suggestions as to how to handle this and display the event times correctly?
Here's my code so far: (It's a work-in-progress)
function doGet() {
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
var handler = app.createServerHandler("change");
var picker1 = app.createDatePicker().addValueChangeHandler(handler).setId("picker1");
var picker2 = app.createDatePicker().addValueChangeHandler(handler).setId("picker2");
var pickerpanel = app.createHorizontalPanel();
var panel = app.createVerticalPanel();
pickerpanel.add(picker1);
pickerpanel.add(picker2);
panel.add(pickerpanel);
var lb = app.createListBox(false).setId('lbCalSelId').setName('lbCalSelect');
lb.setVisibleItemCount(3);
var cals = CalendarApp.getAllCalendars();
for (var i=0; i<cals.length;i++) {
lb.addItem(cals[i].getName(),cals[i].getId());
}
panel.add(lb);
var button = app.createPushButton().setText("Export").setId("button");
var handler = app.createServerClickHandler('doExport').addCallbackElement(panel);
button.addClickHandler(handler);
panel.add(button);
app.add(panel);
return app;
}
function change(eventInfo) {
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
if (eventInfo.parameter.picker1) {
UserProperties.setProperties({"DateRangeStart":eventInfo.parameter.picker1});
app.add(app.createLabel("Start date " + eventInfo.parameter.picker1));
}
else if (eventInfo.parameter.picker2) {
UserProperties.setProperties({"DateRangeEnd":eventInfo.parameter.picker2});
app.add(app.createLabel("End date" + eventInfo.parameter.picker2));
}
return app;
}
function doExport(eventInfo) {
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var calId = eventInfo.parameter.lbCalSelect;
var cal = CalendarApp.getCalendarById(calId);
var rangeStart = UserProperties.getProperty("DateRangeStart");
var rangeEnd = UserProperties.getProperty("DateRangeEnd");
app.add(app.createLabel("The button was clicked!"));
if (rangeStart && rangeEnd) {
app.add(app.createLabel("exporting..."));
var events = cal.getEvents(new Date(rangeStart), new Date(rangeEnd));
var eventsData = [];
var headerRow = ['Title','Start Time','End Time','Location','Description'];
for (var i=0; i < events.length; i++) {
var eventData = [];
eventData.push(events[i].getTitle());
eventData.push(events[i].getStartTime());
eventData.push(events[i].getEndTime());
eventData.push(events[i].getLocation());
eventData.push(events[i].getDescription());
eventsData.push(eventData);
}
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.create("Export of " + cal.getName() + " from " + rangeStart + " to " + rangeEnd);
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var destRange = sheet.getRange(1, 1, events.length, headerRow.length);
destRange.setValues(eventsData);
}
else {
app.add(app.createLabel("Range not specified."));
}
return app;
}
I figured it out.
I just set the timezone of the spreadsheet to the same timezone as the calendar and it worked like a charm.
ss.setSpreadsheetTimeZone(cal.getTimeZone());
