简单的 Google 脚本和 Google 电子表格的问题

Question

Update 2: It was a permissions issue. I guess I have to duplicate all my scripts for each spreadsheet? Also I'm updating my code now that I've fixed it.

Update: my code is wrong (I need to drop the second for loop I think) but my question is why the script isn't running on my sheets.

I'm trying to write data to columns in a spreadsheet. Maybe I'm just having permissions issues?

This is my first time using Google scripts and I'm not familiar with JavaScript either. I have a spreadsheet with a lot of data and I successfully removed duplicates as defined by comparing the first two columns--no bugs, no issues, ran successfully first try. Now I'm trying to fill in data on two new, empty columns.

If column 2 is in the format "foo - bar", I want column 3 to be "foo" and col 4 "bar". So I wrote this script:

function parseTypes() {
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
  var newData = new Array();
  for (i in data) {
    var row = data[i];
    var str = row[2];
    var strSplit = str.split(" - ");
    row[3] = strSplit[0];
    if (strSplit[1] == "" || strSplit[1] == null || row[4] == undefined) {
      row[4] = "";
    } else {
      row[4] = strSplit[1];
    }
    newData.push(row);
  }
  sheet.clearContents();
  sheet.getRange(1, 1, newData.length, newData[0].length).setValues(newData);
}

I debugged in and the string array strSplit is accurately being set to "foo,bar". My issue is that it's not actually writing the data to my spreadsheet. I don't know if it's my code or if I'm just running the script wrong because I barely know what I'm doing.

Answer 1

JavaScript use 0 based indexes but SpreadsheetApp use 1 based indexes. This means that row[2] returns the value of column C not column B.

Answer 2

You don't have to copy the script. The only thing you need to change is not using the SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet, but you have to use the SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(' https://blalaallla ').getSheetByName('blalala') method. This way you don't have to copy it. Hope this helps.
