谷歌工作表中的两个活动工作表基于单元格比较更新错误

Question

I'm trying to get this code working but I know I'm missing something. what the code should do is: to find a specific text from another cell using another sheet reference, so there are two sheets in the google sheet below:'BSR DATA' and 'ENTRY FORM'. from ENTRY FORM,cell g6 will compare its data to the first column of BSR DATA and if it meets the criteria, it will update the specific row of the array/cell reference with "new value".

link to google sheets: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kBuczydffPFBEfy2oegC1WsKXMjSxbGNRzWLCKurOMs/edit?usp=drivesdk

function UpdateBSRSpecial()
{
    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
    var testForm = ss.getSheetByName("ENTRY FORM");
    var testTable = ss.getSheetByName("BSR DATA");
    var testFormValue = testForm.getRange("G6").getValue();
    var rangeData = testTable.getDataRange();
    var lastColumn = rangeData.getLastColumn();
    var lastRow = rangeData.getLastRow();
  for(var i=0;i>lastRow;i++){
     var dataID = testForm.getRange(i,1).getValue();
     if(testFormValue == dataID)
    {
        testTable.getRange(i,6).setValue("new value");
    };
  };
};

Answer 1

there is a code that has been mis-placed, kindly check my code below:

   function UpdateBSRSpecial()
    {
        var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
        var testForm = ss.getSheetByName("ENTRY FORM");
        var testTable = ss.getSheetByName("BSR DATA");
        var testFormValue = testForm.getRange("G6").getValue();
        var rangeData = testTable.getDataRange();
        var lastColumn = rangeData.getLastColumn();
        var lastRow = rangeData.getLastRow();
       for(var i=2;i<=lastRow;i++){
           var dataID = testTable.getRange(i,1).getValue();
          if(testFormValue == dataID)
        {
            testTable.getRange(i,6).setValue("new value");
        };
      }; 
    }; 

hope this helps

The existing script is updating all rows because it loops with for(var i=0;i>lastRow;i++){ . The following script demonstrates the process to search for a discrete term.

I am not going to deal with the updating of the "new value" since that is not clear from the question.

Aspects to note

• the script gets all the data on BSR - var bsrdata = bsr.getRange(1,1,bsrLR,bstLC).getValues(); . This can be used later when updating values.
• using the Javascript map method, Column A is extracted as a separate array for the search - var bsrColA = bsrdata.map(function(e){return e[0];});//[[e],[e],[e]]=>[e,e,e]
• the search is conducted using the Javascript indexOf method. Note: if a match is found, the method returns the index number of the search term within the array; if no match is found, the method returns "-1".
• the script tests to see if the search was successful: if (result !=-1){
• indexOf returns a zero-based index, therefore the actual row number is the index plus one: var row = result+1;
