I have been working on a scheduling website for the past few weeks. I am showing the schedules as PHP generated html-tables. I use merged cells for showing events. I have come to a problem when trying to delete events using JS. Since those are merged cells, using rowspan, I have to go through the table and re-adding empty cells whenever there is a need when I delete one. My solution is working fine for when my table contains one merged cell among nothing but empty cells, but with a more complex table, it fails. I can't really grasp what's wrong with it, except that it doesn't correctly find the cellIndex anymore. Does anyone have a clue? Here is what I'm talking about:

This sample may help you find your solution. It seems to demonstrate your problem as well as have some sample code to generate a matrix to help you solve it.
EDIT: I liked the puzzle and decided to play with it for a bit, here is a "functioning" example of implementing that sample (although sometimes the table doesn't seem to redraw correctly. This should probably help you get further along the way.
function getTableState(t) {
var matrix = [];
var lookup = {};
var trs = t.getElementsByTagName('TR');
var c;
for (var i=0; trs[i]; i++) {
lookup[i] = [];
for (var j=0; c = trs[i].cells[j]; j++) {
var rowIndex = c.parentNode.rowIndex;
var rowSpan = c.rowSpan || 1;
var colSpan = c.colSpan || 1;
var firstAvailCol;
// initalized the matrix in this row if needed.
if(typeof(matrix[rowIndex])=="undefined") { matrix[rowIndex] = []; }
// Find first available column in the first row
for (var k=0; k<matrix[rowIndex].length+1; k++) {
if (typeof(matrix[rowIndex][k])=="undefined") {
firstAvailCol = k;
break;
}
}
lookup[rowIndex][c.cellIndex] = firstAvailCol;
for (var k=rowIndex; k<rowIndex+rowSpan; k++) {
if(typeof(matrix[k])=="undefined") { matrix[k] = []; }
var matrixrow = matrix[k];
for (var l=firstAvailCol; l<firstAvailCol+colSpan; l++) {
matrixrow[l] = {cell: c, rowIndex: rowIndex};
}
}
}
}
// lets build a little object that has some useful funcitons for this table state.
return {
cellMatrix: matrix,
lookupTable: lookup,
// returns the "Real" column number from a passed in cell
getRealColFromElement: function (cell)
{
var row = cell.parentNode.rowIndex;
var col = cell.cellIndex;
return this.lookupTable[row][col];
},
// returns the "point" to insert at for a square in the perceived row/column
getPointForRowAndColumn: function (row,col)
{
var matrixRow = this.cellMatrix[row];
var ret = 0;
// lets look at the matrix again - this time any row that shouldn't be in this row doesn't count.
for (var i=0; i<col; i++)
{
if (matrixRow[i].rowIndex == row) ret++;
}
return ret;
}
};
}
function scheduleClick(e)
{
if (e.target.className != 'event')
return;
//Get useful info before deletion
var numRows = e.target.rowSpan;
var cellIndex = e.target.cellIndex;
var rowIndex = e.target.parentNode.rowIndex;
var table = e.target.parentNode.parentNode;
var tableState = getTableState(table);
var colIndex = tableState.getRealColFromElement(e.target);
//Deletion
e.target.parentNode.deleteCell(cellIndex);
//Insert empty cells in each row
for(var i = 0; i < numRows; i++)
{
var row = table.rows[rowIndex + i];
row.insertCell(tableState.getPointForRowAndColumn(rowIndex+i, colIndex));
}

I've been jogging my brain trying to figure out how to write this script to transpose data from one sheet to another from a pretty dirty sheet.
There are other questions like this but none seem to be like my particular use case.
This is how the sheet is currently structured (somewhat):
The biggest issue here is I have no concrete idea how many rows a particular group of data will be, But I know there are always a bunch of blank rows between each group of data.
I found a script that took me half way:
function myFunction() {
//Get values of all nonEmpty cells
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var values = ss.getRange("D:D").getValues().filter(String);
//Create object with 3 columns max
var pasteValues = [];
var row = ["","",""];
for (i = 1; i<values.length+1; i++){
row.splice((i%3)-1,1,values[i-1]);
if(i%3 == 0){
pasteValues.push(row);
var row = ["","",""]
}
}
if(row != []){
pasteValues.push(row)
}
//Paste the object in columns A to C
ss.getRange(1,1,pasteValues.length,pasteValues[0].length).setValues(pasteValues);
}
But in that case the asker dataset was fixed. I can loosely say that the max number of rows each group would have is 10(this is an assumption after browsing 3000 rows of the sheet...but if the script can know this automatically then it would be more dynamic). So with that in mind...and after butchering the script...I came up with this...which in no way works how it should currently(not all the data is being copied):
function myFunction() {
var copyfrom = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('copyfrom')
var copyto = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('copyto')
var values = copyfrom.getRange("A:A").getValues().filter(Array);
var pasteValues = [];
var row = [];
for (i = 1; i<values.length; i++){
if(values[i] != ""){
row.push(values[i])
}
Logger.log(row);
if(i%10 == 0){
pasteValues.push(row);
row = []
}
}
if(row != []){
pasteValues.push(row)
}
copyto.getRange(1,1,pasteValues.length,pasteValues[0].length).setValues(pasteValues);
}
I'm pretty sure I should maybe still be using array.splice() but haven't been successful trying to implement it achieve what i want, here's how the transposed sheet should look:
Info:
Each group of addresses inside the "copyfrom" sheet would be separated by at least 1 blank line
The length of an address group is not static, some can have 5 rows, others can have 8, but address groups are always separated by blank rows
Any help is appreciated
You are right to iterate all input values, and I can suggest the similar code:
function myFunction() {
var copyfrom = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('copyfrom')
var copyto = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('copyto')
var values = copyfrom.getRange("A:A").getValues();
var pasteValues = [[]]; // keep result data here
values.forEach(function(v) { // Iterate all input values
// The last row to be filled in currently
var row = pasteValues[pasteValues.length - 1];
if (v[0]) {
row.push(v[0]);
} else if (row.length > 0) {
while (row.length < 10) {
row.push(''); // Adjust row length
}
pasteValues.push([]);
}
});
if (pasteValues[pasteValues.length - 1].length == 0) pasteValues.pop();
copyto.getRange(1, 1, pasteValues.length, pasteValues[0].length).setValues(pasteValues);
}
Solution:
Assuming that every new row begins with Name, you can use this script to rearrange the column:
function myFunction() {
var copyfrom = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('copyFrom');
var copyto = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('copyTo');
var lastRow = copyfrom.getLastRow();
var values = copyfrom.getRange(1,1,lastRow).getValues().filter(Array);
var pasteValues = [];
var row = [];
var maxLen = 1;
// rearrange rows
for (i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
if (values[i] == "Name" && i > 0) {
pasteValues.push(row);
row = [values[i]];
}
else if (values[i] != "") {
row.push(values[i]);
if (row.length > maxLen) {
maxLen = row.length;
}
}
}
pasteValues.push(row);
// append spaces to make the row lengths the same
for (j = 0; j < pasteValues.length; j++) {
while (pasteValues[j].length < maxLen) {
pasteValues[j].push('');
}
}
copyto.getRange(1,1,pasteValues.length,maxLen).setValues(pasteValues);
}
Sample I/O:
As far as I can tell, there is no way to get the columns to line up in the output since you don't have any way to tell the difference between, for example, an "address 2" and a "City".
However, as far as merely grouping and transposing each address. This one formula, in one cell, in the tab here called MK.Help will work from the data you provided. It will work for as many contacts as you have.
=ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY(QUERY({A:A,IFERROR(LOOKUP(ROW(A:A),FILTER(ROW(A:A),A:A="")),0),COUNTIFS(IFERROR(LOOKUP(ROW(A:A),FILTER(ROW(A:A),A:A="")),0),IFERROR(LOOKUP(ROW(A:A),FILTER(ROW(A:A),A:A="")),0),A:A,"<>",ROW(A:A),"<="&ROW(A:A))},"select MAX(Col1) where Col1<>'' group by Col2 pivot Col3",0),"offset 1",0))
I'm trying to write a simple script for google spreadsheet.
The code should work as follows: it should be a priority list, which can be simply edited. For example I have a list of 7 tasks and want to change the priority of one task. My code simply looks for values greater or eqauls then the value I put in a cell and increments them by 1. So at the end the last task has priority 8 and I have only 7 tasks, so there is one gap somewhere.
Here is what I've already done:
function onEdit(e) {
var range = e.range;
var numRowsWithData = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getDataRange().getNumRows();
var columnOfCellEdited = range.getColumn();
var cellEdited = range.getA1Notation();
if (columnOfCellEdited === 2) {
var valueOfEditedCell = range.getValue();
for (var i = 2; i <=numRowsWithData; i++) {
var rangeSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getDataRange();
var currentCell = rangeSheet.getCell(i, 2);
var currentValue = currentCell.getValue();
if(currentValue >= valueOfEditedCell) {
if(cellEdited == currentCell.getA1Notation()){
continue;
}
currentCell.setValue(currentValue+1);
};
}
};
};
This script works, but I've got some missing numbers, because every time I add 1 to the current value.
How to edit it to have all the numbers in proper order, without any missing ones?
I know it's not very complicated, but I don't have any idea for now:/
Thanks in advance!
Completely rewritten answer, following clarification of the question.
This function reads all of the existing priorities, including the new entry. Any existing value greater than the new one is incremented by 1. An array is used to store the row on which each value occurs. The array is then looped over, skipping any undefined entries (missing numbers), and renumbering those that do exist starting from 1.
This doesn't change the order of the rows. It simply renumbers the second column.
Where possible I've left your original code intact, and re-used your approach in the new bit.
function onEdit(e) {
var range = e.range;
var numRowsWithData = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getDataRange().getNumRows();
var columnOfCellEdited = range.getColumn();
var cellEdited = range.getA1Notation();
if (columnOfCellEdited === 2) {
var valueOfEditedCell = range.getValue();
// get snapshot of current priorities
var priorityRows = [];
for (var row = 2; row <=numRowsWithData; row++) {
var rangeSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getDataRange();
var currentCell = rangeSheet.getCell(row, 2);
var currentValue = currentCell.getValue();
if(currentValue >= valueOfEditedCell && cellEdited !== currentCell.getA1Notation()) {
currentValue++;
};
priorityRows[currentValue] = row;
}
// renumber priorities
var newPriority = 1;
for (var i = 0; i < priorityRows.length; i++) {
var row = priorityRows[i];
if (row) {
var rangeSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getDataRange();
var currentCell = rangeSheet.getCell(row, 2);
currentCell.setValue(newPriority++);
}
}
}
}
I'm trying to dynamically create a table using JS and jQuery. (I know I can hard code it in html but I don't want to do that.)
I have an extra row at the table that I'm having trouble removing.
Can someone please provide an answer/answers on how best to solve this in my code?
My code is posted below.
var game = {
matrix: [],
startGame: function()
{
this.doDomStuff(); //build board
},
doDomStuff: function(row, column)
{
for(var i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
var row = $('<div>');
row.attr('id', 'data-row' + (i + 1));
row.addClass('data-row');
for(var j = 0; j < 6; j++)
{
var column = $('<div>');
column.attr('id', 'data-column' + (j + 1));
column.addClass('data-column');
column.addClass('column');
row.append(column);
}
$('body').prepend(row);
}
}
};
If you are making a game, and each row can have its own logic and behaviour, so it will be faster to operate array neither DOM structure. If your logic will be more complecated, you will see the difference in perfomance. So, call the DOM structure if you are really need to update objects there. For example:
function SuperTable(){
this.tablerows = [];
this.DOMObject = $("body");
}
SuperTable.prototype.AddRow = function() {
this.tablerows[this.tablerows.length] = new SuperRow(this.tablerows.length,this.DOMObject);
}
SuperTable.prototype.RemoveRow = function(rowIndex) {
this.tablerows[rowIndex].DOMObject.remove(); // remove element from DOM
this.tablerows.splice(rowIndex,1); // remove element from logic of the game
}
function SuperRow(rownumber,parent) {
this.DOMObject = $("<div>");
this.DOMObject.addClass('data-row');
parent.prepend(this.DOMObject);
}
mytable = new SuperTable()
mytable.AddRow() // create row on 0 position
mytable.RemoveRow(0) // remove row from 0 position
You can use JQuery's .remove() function.
For example, if you want to remove the last row: $("#data-row7").remove()
I'm attempting to grab the values from a data range, loop over the data, match a value in that data, then based on a matching value, update cell located a few columns over.
I'm able to locate value to match, but I'm having a hard time understanding how to update the cell a few columns over. Below is the code I've gotten so far minus the .setValue piece.
var trackingSS = 'Spreadsheet 1';
var decisionSS = 'Spreadsheet 2';
function grabRequestID() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(decissionSS);
var range = ss.getActiveSheet().getRange(ss.getLastRow(), 2, 1, 1)
var requestID = range.getValue();
return requestID;
}
function managersDecision() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(trackingSS)
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Requests');
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var requestID = grabRequestID();
for (var i=0; i < data.length; i++) {
for (var j=0; j < data[i].length; j++) {
if (data[i][j] == requestID) {
Logger.log('found it');
}
}
}
}
As you can see there are two functions. managersDecision() reads in all the data from spreadsheet 1. It then calls grabRequestID() and uses this value (from spreadsheet 2) as the matching criteria as it loops over the data from spreadsheet 1. Currently it will locate and find the match.
What I want to have happen now, is based on the match, go over two columns in the same row and update the cell value to "approved" or "denied" based on successfully finding a match.
I'm a bit lost on how to get it to write to the cell. Should I try and identify the row its in and then work to set the value? Maybe grab the entire row the match is in (into an array) and then rewrite the row?
Any assistance would be appreciated..
To set a value you just need to take in count that you are working with an array that start at zero, but in the spreadsheet we start counting at one. You'll also need to be sure that you are trying to write in an existing cell. So prior writing, add the necessary column.
I didn't wrote the "denied" part as it was going through all the cell of the spreadsheet, but I wrote a second version of the managersDecision function where I only go through one column and here I took care of that denied part.
here the code:
var trackingSS = 'Spreadsheet1';
var decisionSS = 'Spreadsheet2';
function grabRequestID() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(decisionSS);
var range = ss.getActiveSheet().getRange(ss.getLastRow(), 2, 1, 1)
var requestID = range.getValue();
Logger.log("requestID= "+requestID);
return requestID;
}
function managersDecision() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(trackingSS)
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Requests');
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var requestID = grabRequestID();
for (var i=0; i < data.length; i++) { // going through all the rows
for (var j=0; j < data[i].length; j++) { // this is going through all the cell of a row
if (data[i][j] == requestID) {
Logger.log('found it');
var row = Number(i)+1;
var col = Number(j)+1+2;
while(sheet.getMaxColumns()<col){
sheet.insertColumnsAfter(sheet.getMaxColumns(),col-sheet.getMaxColumns());
}
sheet.getRange(row, col).setValue("approved");
}
}
}
}
function managersDecision2() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(trackingSS)
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Requests');
var data = sheet.getRange("A:A").getValues()
var requestID = grabRequestID();
var col = 1+2;
while(sheet.getMaxColumns()<col){
sheet.insertColumnsAfter(sheet.getMaxColumns(),col-sheet.getMaxColumns());
}
for (var i=0; i < data.length; i++) { // going through all the rows
var row = 1+i;
if (data[i][0] == requestID) {
Logger.log('found it');
sheet.getRange(row, col).setValue("approved");
}
else if(data[i][0] !=""){
Logger.log(row)
sheet.getRange(row, col).setValue("denied");
}
}
}
I'm trying to figure out how to combine Slickgrid's example 4 and example 9. Basically adding row reordering to a dataview grid. So far I have row reordering working as long as there is only one page in the grid. With multiple pages, row reordering works only on the first page and on any other pages, rows can be dragged up or down, but will not reorder.
example 4: https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/blob/master/examples/example4-model.html
example 9: https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/blob/master/examples/example9-row-reordering.html
Any ideas? Thanks so much!
Here is the row reordering code I have on my dataview grid:
//Re-order rows on drag
var moveRowsPlugin = new Slick.RowMoveManager({});
moveRowsPlugin.onBeforeMoveRows.subscribe(function (e, inboxData) {
for (var i = 0; i < inboxData.rows.length; i++) {
// no point in moving before or after itself
if (inboxData.rows[i] == inboxData.insertBefore || inboxData.rows[i] == inboxData.insertBefore - 1) {
e.stopPropagation();
return false;
}
}
return true;
});
moveRowsPlugin.onMoveRows.subscribe(function (e, args) {
var extractedRows = [], left, right;
var rows = args.rows;
var insertBefore = args.insertBefore;
left = inboxData.slice(0, insertBefore);
right = inboxData.slice(insertBefore, inboxData.length);
rows.sort(function(a,b) { return a-b; });
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
extractedRows.push(inboxData[rows[i]]);
}
rows.reverse();
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
var row = rows[i];
if (row < insertBefore) {
left.splice(row, 1);
} else {
right.splice(row - insertBefore, 1);
}
}
inboxData = left.concat(extractedRows.concat(right));
var selectedRows = [];
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++)
selectedRows.push(left.length + i);
inboxGrid.resetActiveCell();
inboxDataView.setItems(inboxData);
inboxGrid.setSelectedRows(selectedRows);
inboxGrid.render();
});
inboxGrid.registerPlugin(moveRowsPlugin);
//End re-order rows
I'm not sure, but maybe these methods will help you:
inboxGrid.invalidateAllRows(); //tells the grid that all the rows has been changed and it needs to rerender them.
inboxGrid.invalidateRows(rows); // tells the grid that the specified rows has been changed and it needs to rerender them.
You also need to use beginUpdate and endUpdate when updating the dataView:
inboxDataView.beginUpdate();
inboxDataView.setItems(inboxData);
inboxDataView.endUpdate();
Hope these help.
