I'm trying to add the property
var range = sheet.Cells ["A6: R6"];
range.AutoFilter = true;
It does not work, apply the filter to all columns of the merge. How to solve? thanks
Remove the space in your cell range string. In other words:
var range = sheet.Cells ["A6: R6"];
Should be:
var range = sheet.Cells ["A6:R6"];
That will definitely trip it up. If that doesnt fix it post more of your code.

I have been trying several different ways to write an office script to search for a value in a cell and return the row or rows to power automate.
I believe I need to use range.find in order to make use of the "completematch: true" option.
However, I have also tried a filter and a foreach loop to find rows which include the text I am searching for.
I'm after a hint as to which method might be best?
essentially trying to:-
power automate - pass text parameter to the script
Scripts search for a match in excel business spreadsheet
the script finds match(s)
Script passes back the row(s) to powerautomate as an array
this is what I have so far: essentially it just finds the row number in which the matching result is found. This seems to work better to avoid partial matched (as happened with the filter method )
any pointers, most welcome
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook, siteNameToFilter: string) {
let activeSheet = workbook.getActiveWorksheet();
let range = activeSheet.getUsedRange();
let values = range.getValues();
/**
* This script searches for the next instance of the text "Fino" on the current worksheet.
*/
// Get the next cell that contains "Fino".
let findCell = range.find("Fino", {
completeMatch: true, /* Don't match if the cell text only contains "fino" as part of another string. */
matchCase: false,
searchDirection: ExcelScript.SearchDirection.forward /* Start at the beginning of the range and go to later columns and rows. */
});
// Set focus on the found cell.
findCell.select();
// Remove the "TK" text value from the cell, as well as any formatting that may have been added.
//tkCell.clear(ExcelScript.ClearApplyTo.all);
let row = findCell.getRow().getUsedRange();
let ur = findCell.getUsedRange();
console.log(row);
}
I think Find may only be returning the first match. It sounds like you want all matches with the siteName. To do this, you'd either want to filter the range or loop through it.
Here's an example that loops through the range and adds the values from the rows containing the site name to an array. After the loop's completed, the array containing the values is returning by the function:
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook, siteNameToFilter: string) {
let activeSheet = workbook.getActiveWorksheet();
let range = activeSheet.getUsedRange()
let values = range.getValues() as string[][];
let rowCount = range.getRowCount()
let colCount = range.getColumnCount()
let colIndex = range.getColumnIndex()
let rowsArr: string[][][] = []
for (let i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < colCount; j++) {
if (values[i][j] === siteNameToFilter) {
rowsArr.push(activeSheet.getRangeByIndexes(i, colIndex, 1, colCount).getValues() as string[][])
}
}
}
return rowsArr
}
I'm importing data into Google Sheets and then adding static information to it. I'd like my static data to be kept in alignment with a dynamic - is this possible? Is a script still required? Does anyone have an example?
it depends on your data structure, but there is a way with VLOOKUP formula
https://exceljet.net/excel-functions/excel-vlookup-function
Did you already find your solution to the problem? It sounds like you sort be able to sort the data with filters and still keep your note columns aligned.
this script could perhaps help:
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var range = sheet.getRange("A1:Z");
function onEdit(e) {
range.sort([{column: 2, ascending: false}]);
}
Sheet1 = name of the sheet
A1:Z = range to be sorted
column: 2 = column B
ascending: false = descending
I am not able to fetch a max value from a number field in AppMaker. The field is filled with unique integers from 1 and up. In SQL I would have asked like this:
SET #tKey = (SELECT MAX(ID) FROM GiftCard);
In AppMaker I have done the following (with a bit help from other contributors in this forum) until now, and it returns tKey = "NaN":
var tKey = google.script.run.MaxID();
function MaxID() {
var ID_START_FROM = 11000;
var lock = LockService.getScriptLock();
lock.waitLock(3000);
var query = app.models.GiftCard.newQuery();
query.sorting.ID._descending();
query.limit = 1;
var records = query.run();
var next_id = records.length > 0 ? records[0].ID : ID_START_FROM;
lock.releaseLock();
return next_id;
}
There is also a maxValue() function in AppMaker. However, it seems not to work in that way I use it. If maxvalue() is better to use, please show :-)
It seems that you are looking in direction of auto incremented fields. The right way to achieve it would be using Cloud SQL database. MySQL will give you more flexibility with configuring your ids:
ALTER TABLE GiftCard AUTO_INCREMENT = 11000;
In case you strongly want to stick to Drive Tables you can try to fix your script as follow:
google.script.run
.withSuccessHandler(function(maxId) {
var tKey = maxId;
})
.withFailureHandler(function(error) {
// TODO: handle error
})
.MaxID();
As a side note I would also recommend to set your ID in onBeforeCreate model event as an extra security layer instead of passing it to client and reading back since it can be modified by malicious user.
You can try using Math.max(). Take into consideration the example below:
function getMax() {
var query = app.models.GiftCard.newQuery();
var allRecords = query.run();
allIds = [];
for( var i=0; i<allRecords.length;i++){
allIds.push(allRecords[i].ID);
}
var maxId = Math.max.apply(null, allIds);
return maxId;
}
Hope it helps!
Thank you for examples! The Math.max returned an undefined value. Since this simple case is a "big" issue, I will solve this in another way. This value is meant as a starting value for a sequence only. An SQL base is better yes!
I'm using the LinqToExcel library. Working great so far, except that I need to start the query at a specific row. This is because the excel spreadsheet from the client uses some images and "header" information at the top of the excel file before the data actually starts.
The data itself will be simple to read and is fairly generic, I just need to know how to tell the ExcelQueryFactory to start at a specific row.
I am aware of the WorksheetRange<Company>("B3", "G10") option, but I don't want to specify an ending row, just where to start reading the file.
Using the latest v. of LinqToExcel with C#
I just tried this code and it seemed to work just fine:
var book = new LinqToExcel.ExcelQueryFactory(#"E:\Temporary\Book1.xlsx");
var query =
from row in book.WorksheetRange("A4", "B16384")
select new
{
Name = row["Name"].Cast<string>(),
Age = row["Age"].Cast<int>(),
};
I only got back the rows with data.
I suppose that you already solved this, but maybe for others - looks like you can use
var excel = new ExcelQueryFactory(path);
var allRows = excel.WorksheetNoHeader();
//start from 3rd row (zero-based indexing), length = allRows.Count() or computed range of rows you want
for (int i = 2; i < length; i++)
{
RowNoHeader row = allRows.ElementAtOrDefault(i);
//process the row - access columns as you want - also zero-based indexing
}
Not as simple as specifying some Range("B3", ...), but also the way.
Hope this helps at least somebody ;)
I had tried this, works fine for my scenario.
//get the sheets info
var faceWrksheet = excel.Worksheet(facemechSheetName);
// get the total rows count.
int _faceMechRows = faceWrksheet.Count();
// append with End Range.
var faceMechResult = excel.WorksheetRange<ExcelFaceMech>("A5", "AS" + _faceMechRows.ToString(), SheetName).
Where(i => i.WorkOrder != null).Select(x => x).ToList();
Have you tried WorksheetRange<Company>("B3", "G")
Unforunatly, at this moment and iteration in the LinqToExcel framework, there does not appear to be any way to do this.
To get around this we are requiring the client to have the data to be uploaded in it's own "sheet" within the excel document. The header row at the first row and the data under it. If they want any "meta data" they will need to include this in another sheet. Below is an example from the LinqToExcel documentation on how to query off a specific sheet.
var excel = new ExcelQueryFactory("excelFileName");
var oldCompanies = from c in repo.Worksheet<Company>("US Companies") //worksheet name = 'US Companies'
where c.LaunchDate < new DateTime(1900, 0, 0)
select c;
How can I get the Nth row using Linq? both columns are text so I cant use min/max
var nthItem = items.Skip(n).First();
An alternative (.Net 3.5 and later) is to use ElementAtOrDefault.
var nthItem = items.ElementAtOrDefault(n-1);
The method's index is zero-based, so if you want the third element, you pass 2 for the index.
You can use skip and take.
var result = myData.OrderBy(<your order by>).Skip(5).Take(1);
var nthItem = items.Skip(n-1).FirstOrDefault();
you can use order by with skip
var nthItem = items.OrderByDescending(<your order by>).skip(n-1).FirstOrDefault();
