Full disclosure, I am in no way a programmer of any kind. My library was looking for an easier way for multiple locations to add events to the public calendar.
Eventually I stumbled upon this script which I was able to adapt for our needs. However, the one change they would like is to have the end time default to 2 hours later. For example, if an event starts at 1 then the end time automatically defaults to 3.
Can anyone show me what change in the script I need to make for that to happen? Here is the test form that we use to enter the dates. Right now the end time is entered manually but I'd imagine that would have to be removed, correct?
Any help in figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

else
{

event.deleteEventSeries();
return submitToGoogleCalendar(sheetData,null);
}

Without having tried it myself, I believe you could do it like this:
function submitToGoogleCalendar(sheetData,eventId) {
var cal = CalendarApp.getCalendarById(calendarId);
var start = new Date(sheetData.startDate);
var end = new Date(sheetData.endDate);
end.setHours(start.getHours() + 2);
...where the last line is the new line added to your original script.
To your question wether the end time should be removed, I would say yes, it should be removed.

I get the following error message when running some code in Google Apps Script. I don't understand the Line/Column reference, Code:46:18. It appears to point to either a line with too few columns or a process with too few lines. I assume I am not interpreting the reference correctly.
TypeError: Cannot set property 'format' of undefined
at processInbox(processInbox Code:46:18)
Line 46 of all my code is this and certainly doesn't have 18 columns (and it closes a function that doesn't refer to format):
}
The process referred to by the error message, processInbox, is only 39 lines long.
The script is called by selecting "Run Script" in the menu, "CiviSchedule" in the related Google Sheet, which triggers the doTasks function. This menu and and trigger are created in the onOpen function.
How am I misinterpreting the error message? (Full code follows)

at processInbox(processInbox Code:46:18)
The syntax is

This would suggest that the code causing the error is elsewhere.
At file

within function

And at line

and at column

You probably have a same function name processInbox at a different file named processInbox Code. In that file, at line 46, col 18, you'll have your error.
I think that you problem may be that this line:
var data = sheet.getRange(3, 1, sheet.getLastRow(), COL.total).getValues();
should be like this:
var data = sheet.getRange(3, 1, sheet.getLastRow() - 2, COL.total).getValues();
I have data from a questionnaire (20K rows) that I need to share with the store managers (report) of our shops (400 shops). I managed to write a script that sends a pdf of my sheet to a list of e-mail addresses. But I'm stuck on writing the loop for the filter, since I can't get the setVisibleValues(values) function to work for FilterCriteriaBuilder. The setHiddenValues(values) function works, but I can't figure out how to combine that with the loop.
Sample of my Google Sheet
See below for my current code:
/**
* Filtersheet by location
*/
function FilterSheet() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Data')
spreadsheet.getRange('F1').activate();
var criteria = SpreadsheetApp.newFilterCriteria()
.setHiddenValues(['Amsterdam, Rotterdam'])
.build();
spreadsheet.getFilter().setColumnFilterCriteria(6, criteria);
};
/**
* Send pdf of currentspreadsheet
*/
function SendPdf() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Adres');
var blob = DriveApp.getFileById(ss.getId()).getAs("application/pdf");
blob.setName(ss.getName() + ".pdf");
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 2; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:B3
var dataRange = spreadsheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 2);
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var data = dataRange.getValues();
for (var i in data) {
var row = data[i];
var emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = 'I hearby send you the overview of your data'
var subject = 'Overview of data';
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message,{
attachments:[blob]});
}
}
getValues() returns the values of all range's cells no matter if they are shown or hidden.
Use a loop and isRowHiddenByFilter(rowPosition) to reap out all the filtered values. You could use Array.prototype.push to add the values to a new array or use Array.prototype.splice to modify the array holdin the values returned by getValues()

How to use in Google Sheets setValue only for range of filtered rows (getRange for not hidden cells)?
I managemed to solve the problem.
This script takes a google spreadsheet with 2 sheets,one with Data and one with a combination EmailAdresses.
It sends a filtered list (filter column F) of sheet Data to the corresponding salon (location) in sheet Emailadresses (var mode email). Additionally, it has the option to "store" the pdf's in your google drive (var mode store)

I'm creating a social media outreach tracker. I want to create a drop-down list of the contact name. The problem is that I have two sources of names on two different sheets.
I wrote a script that pulls the names from the two different sources and combines them to a single array.
I was hoping to set the source range as that array.
Here is my code:
function setDataValid_(range, sourceRange) {
var rule = SpreadsheetApp.newDataValidation()
.requireValueInRange(sourceRange, true)
.build();
range.setDataValidation(rule);
}
function onEdit() {
var auditionsSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var castingDirectorsTab = auditionsSheet.getSheetByName("Casting Directors");
var contactsTab = auditionsSheet.getSheetByName("Contacts");
var socialMediaOutreachTab = auditionsSheet.getSheetByName("Social Media Outreach");
var lastRowCD = castingDirectorsTab.getLastRow();
var lastRowContacts = contactsTab.getLastRow();
var activeCell = socialMediaOutreachTab.getActiveCell();
var activeColumn = activeCell.getColumn();
// get data
var castingDirectorNameData = castingDirectorsTab.getRange(2, 1, lastRowCD, 1).getValues();
var contactNameData = contactsTab.getRange(2, 1, lastRowContacts, 1).getValues();
//get name data to a single arrays
var castingDirectorName = [];
castingDirectorNameData.forEach(function(yr) {
castingDirectorName.push(yr[0]);
});
var contactName = [];
contactNameData.forEach(function(yr) {
contactName.push(yr[0]);
});
// get rid of the empty bits in the arrays
for (var x = castingDirectorName.length-1; x > 0; x--) {
if ( castingDirectorName[x][0] === undefined ) {
castingDirectorName.splice( x, 1 )
}
}
for (var x = contactName.length-1; x > 0; x--) {
if ( contactName[x][0] === undefined ) {
contactName.splice( x, 1 )
}
}
//combine two data sources for data validation
var combinedNames = [];
combinedNames.push(castingDirectorName + contactName);
Logger.log (combinedNames);
Logger.log( typeof combinedNames);
// data validation set up and build
if (activeColumn == 1 && auditionsSheet.getName() == "Social Media Outreach") {
var range = auditionsSheet.getRange(activeCell.getRow(), activeColumn +1);
var sourceRange = combinedNames;
setDataValid_(range, sourceRange)
}
}
When I enter a date in Col A on Social Media Outreach, nothing happens in Col 2.
I was using an existing working nested data validation script I have but the sourceRange pulls from a sheet based on the value in the active cell. Here is that code:
function setDataValid_(range, sourceRange) {
var rule = SpreadsheetApp.newDataValidation()
.requireValueInRange(sourceRange, true)
.build();
range.setDataValidation(rule);
}
function onEdit() {
var aSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var aCell = aSheet.getActiveCell();
var aColumn = aCell.getColumn();
// data validation for Auditions Tab Projet Type to Project Details
if (aColumn == 9 && aSheet.getName() == 'Auditions') {
var range = aSheet.getRange(aCell.getRow(), aColumn + 1);
var sourceRange = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getRangeByName('RefTables!' + aCell.getValue())
setDataValid_(range, sourceRange)
}
}
For this script when I select from the data validation drop-down, a new data validation comes up in the next col with the appropriate secondary data validation.
So the question is, can the source range be set to an array or do I need to put the names back into my sheet to reference a la the second script.
I've looked through the documentation and searched and can't find an answer. I'm relatively new to GAS and am not sure of all the inner workings of the data validation builder.
I have a huge spreadsheet matrix, from which I create a long list of check boxes. The users then select different abilities, press search. The code the cross-checks with the database spreadsheet, returning names of the persons who has those abilities.

I don't really understand the problem you have...
In your handler function you only have to use app=UiApp.getActiveApplication() and from there populate the panel exactly the same way you did it in the doGet() function, ending with a return app; that will actually update the current Ui.
There are dozens of examples all around... did I misunderstand something in your question ?
Edit : following your comment.
I suppose you defined your variables outside of the doGet function hoping they will become global and so available to all the functions in your script but this is not going to work. Global variables in Google Apps script can't be updated by functions.
I would strongly recommend that you create app and panels in the doGet function and give them an ID so that you can get them back and update their values (or content) from the handler functions.
Here is a re-written version of your code (didn't test)
: (some parts are not reproduced (see //...)
var dataSSkey = 'sheetID'; //datasheet ID
var dataSheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(dataSSkey).getSheetByName('Ansatte');
var groupsArray = [[],[],[],[]];
var lastRow = dataSheet.getLastRow();
var lastColumn = dataSheet.getLastColumn();
var dataArray = dataSheet.getRange(1,1,lastRow,lastColumn).getValues();
var numberGroups
var outputArray = []; //to store output from search
var positiveList = [[],[]]; //array to store name and folder-ID of consultants matching
var numberPositive = 0; //number of consultants matching
function doGet() {
var app = UiApp.createApplication().setTitle('Find Consultant');
var panel = app.createVerticalPanel();
var leftPanel = app.createVerticalPanel().setWidth(450).setId('leftPanel');
var rightPanel = app.createVerticalPanel().setWidth(450).setId('rightPanel');;
var grid = app.createGrid(1, 2).setId('myGrid')
buildGroupsArray(app); // in this function get app as parameter or use UiApp.getActiveApplication();
addCheckBoxesToUI(app);// in this function get app as parameter or use UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var scrollPanel = app.createScrollPanel().setHeight(460);
//...
//...
return app;
}
function respondToSearch(e){
//...
//...
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var rightPanel = app.getElementById('rightPanel');
for(j in positiveList[0]){
var name = positiveList[0][j];
var id = positiveList[1][j];

I will try and keep this brief. I am attempting to make a google web app in google spreadsheet that will allow me to enter a values for min and max.
I have been able to create the GUI and add it to the panel. But I can't seem to pass the integer being entered into another function. I've tried everything, I'm relatively new to creating Google Script so I'm sorry if this comes across as a bit of a noobish problem.
Here is all the code so far :
function onOpen() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var menuEntries = [];
menuEntries.push({name: "Open Dialog", functionName: "showDialog"});
ss.addMenu("Min/Max", menuEntries);
}
//creating a panel to add the min and max of low to high for scoring
function showDialog() {
max = 10;
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
app.setTitle("My Applicaition");
var panel = app.createVerticalPanel();
var textBox = app.createTextBox();
var label = app.createLabel("Set the min value for 'Low'");
//had to create a hidden element with id="min" for a global value that can be updated
var min = app.createHidden().setValue('0').setName('min').setId('min');
textBox.setName('myTextBox').setId('myTextBox');
var button = app.createButton('Submit');
panel.add(label);
panel.add(textBox);
panel.add(min);
panel.add(button);
//click handler for setting the value of min to the new value
var clickHandler = app.createServerClickHandler("responedToSubmit");
button.addClickHandler(clickHandler);
clickHandler.addCallbackElement(panel);
app.add(panel);
var doc = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
doc.show(app);
}
function responedToSubmit(e) {
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var textBoxValue = e.parameter.myTextBox;
Logger.log(e.parameter.min);
if (typeof textBoxValue != "number") {
var num = parseInt(textBoxValue);
app.getElementById('min').setValue(num);
Logger.log("textBoxValue is = "+textBoxValue+"\n min value is = "+e.parameter.min);
} else {
throw "value needs to be set as number";
}
return app.close();
}
This is where I believe things aren't going according to plan :
function responedToSubmit(e) {
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var textBoxValue = e.parameter.myTextBox;
Logger.log(e.parameter.min);
if (typeof textBoxValue != "number") {
var num = parseInt(textBoxValue);
app.getElementById('min').setValue(num);
Logger.log("textBoxValue is = "+textBoxValue+"\n min value is = "+e.parameter.min);
} else {
throw "value needs to be set as number";
}
return app.close();
}
I find that each time I test the .setValue() will not update the value of 'min' and I cannot see why. Can you please help?
You need to add textBox element to callBack elements list of your clickHandler.
Try this:
//click handler for setting the value of min to the new value
var clickHandler = app.createServerClickHandler("responedToSubmit");
clickHandler.addCallbackElement(panel);
clickHandler.addCallbackElement(textBox);
button.addClickHandler(clickHandler);
app.add(panel);
