How to loop 2 Dimensional Array on Google Script - sorting

Question

There is a problem with my run time execution in my code. It takes too long to finish, since I have to loop a large amounts of data to look for matching data. I used array on the first loop value though, I don't know how to array the second value without affecting the first array.
Name of the first array : Source
Name of the Second array : Target
Here is my Code:
function inactive_sort_cebu() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('169vIeTMLK4zN5VGCw1ktRteCwMToU8eGABFDxg52QBk');
// var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];// Manila Roster
var sheet2 = ss.getSheets()[1];// Cebu Roster
var column = sheet2.getRange("C1:C").getValues();
var last = column.filter(String).length;
// -----------------------------------------------------------
var ss1 = SpreadsheetApp.openById('153ul2x2GpSopfMkCZiXCjmqdPTYhx4QiOdP5SBYzQkc');
// var sched_sheet = ss1.getSheets()[0];// ScheduledForm_Manila
var sched_sheet2 = ss1.getSheets()[1];// ScheduledForm_Cebu
var column2 = sched_sheet2.getRange("C1:C").getValues();
var last2 = column2.filter(String).length;
//// -------------------------Manila-Roster---------------------------------
var i= 2;
var column3 = sched_sheet2.getRange("J1:J").getValues();
var a = column3.filter(String).length - 1;
// var a = 0;
try{
var source = sched_sheet2.getRange("C2:C").getValues();
for (a;a<=last2;){
/// this is the code that i need to array without affecting the other array which is the source variable
var target = sheet2.getRange("C"+ i).getValue();
if(source[a] == target){
// Get "No Schedule Request data on Cell H
var data = sched_sheet2.getRange("H"+(a+2)).getValue();
// Get "Schedule Request data on Cell F
var data1 = sched_sheet2.getRange("F"+(a+2)).getValue();
var condition_1 = sched_sheet2.getRange("D"+(a+2)).getValue();
var condition_2 = sched_sheet2.getRange("G"+(a+2)).getValue();
var format_Con_2 = Utilities.formatDate(condition_2, 'Asia/Manila', 'm/dd/yyyy');
var condition_3 = sched_sheet2.getRange("K"+ (a+2)).getValue();
var date = new Date();
var date_Manila = Utilities.formatDate(date, 'Asia/Manila', 'm/dd/yyyy');
if(condition_1 == "No Schedule Request" && format_Con_2 <= date_Manila && condition_3 ==""){
sheet2.getRange("AA"+ i).setValue("N - "+ data);
sched_sheet2.getRange("J"+ (a+2)).setValue("Cebu");
sched_sheet2.getRange("K"+ (a+2)).setValue("Done");
a++;
}
else if (condition_1 == "Schedule Request" && format_Con_2 <= date_Manila && condition_3 ==""){
sheet2.getRange("AA"+ i).setValue("Y - "+data1);
sched_sheet2.getRange("J"+ (a+2)).setValue("Cebu");
sched_sheet2.getRange("K"+ (a+2)).setValue("Done");
a++;
}
else{a++;}
i=2;}
else {i++;}
}

This is a simple example of a web app that puts an editable spreadsheet on an HTML Page. Publish as a webapp. I loops through the 2D array that you get when you getValues from the getDataRange() method. In this case I'm just intertwining html into the mix.
Code.gs:
var SSID='SpreadsheetID';
var sheetName='Sheet Name';
function htmlSpreadsheet(mode)
{
var mode=(typeof(mode)!='undefined')?mode:'dialog';
var br='<br />';
var s='';
var hdrRows=1;
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.openById(SSID);
var sht=ss.getSheetByName(sheetName);
var rng=sht.getDataRange();
var rngA=rng.getValues();
s+='<table>';
for(var i=0;i<rngA.length;i++)
{
s+='<tr>';
for(var j=0;j<rngA[i].length;j++)
{
if(i<hdrRows)
{
s+='<th id="cell' + i + j + '">' + '<input id="txt' + i + j + '" type="text" value="' + rngA[i][j] + '" size="10" onChange="updateSS(' + i + ',' + j + ');" />' + '</th>';
}
else
{
s+='<td id="cell' + i + j + '">' + '<input id="txt' + i + j + '" type="text" value="' + rngA[i][j] + '" size="10" onChange="updateSS(' + i + ',' + j + ');" />' + '</th>';
}
}
s+='</tr>';
}
s+='</table>';
//s+='<div id="success"></div>';
s+='</body></html>';
switch (mode)
{
case 'dialog':
var userInterface=HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('htmlss').setWidth(1000).setHeight(450);
userInterface.append(s);
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showModelessDialog(userInterface, 'Spreadsheet Data for ' + ss.getName() + ' Sheet: ' + sht.getName());
break;
case 'web':
var userInterface=HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('htmlss').setWidth(1000).setHeight(450);
return userInterface.append(s).setXFrameOptionsMode(HtmlService.XFrameOptionsMode.ALLOWALL);
}
}
function updateSpreadsheet(i,j,value)
{
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.openById(SSID);
var sht=ss.getSheetByName(sheetName);
var rng=sht.getDataRange();
var rngA=rng.getValues();
rngA[i][j]=value;
rng.setValues(rngA);
var data = {'message':'Cell[' + Number(i + 1) + '][' + Number(j + 1) + '] Has been updated', 'ridx': i, 'cidx': j};
return data;
}
function doGet()
{
var output=htmlSpreadsheet('web');
return output;
}
htmlss.html:

var value=$(str).val();
$(str).css('background-color','#ffff00');
google.script.run
.withSuccessHandler(successHandler)
.updateSpreadsheet(i,j,value)
}
function successHandler(data)
{
$('#success').text(data.message);

}
console.log('My Code');
