使用 Google Apps 脚本隐藏行

Question

I'm looking to create almost a drop-down feature in Google Sheets. I was hoping to have arrows set that could potentially collapse rows when clicked.

It would be amazing if I could get it so each main "title" row has an arrow, that would cause the rows to either hide/unhide.

Since only the titles would be written in column A, I was thinking it might be possibly for a script to recognize the blank cells in between two filled ones?

So far I only have this, which is basically useless:

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
// Hides the first three rows
sheet.hideRows(1, 3);

In a perfect world, the spreadsheet would look something like this, with the functionality to collapse the rows with the click of the arrow.

Not sure if this is possible, but if there is any hope/ideas I'd love to hear them.

Answer 1

Instead, have you considered using the group row facility? You can just group and ungroup the rows to show/hide them.

• Just select all the rows that you want to group,
• right click select Group rows.

I have added the same in the spreadsheet that you have shared.

Answer 2

function onEdit(e) {
  const sh=e.range.getSheet();
  const shts=['Sheet13'];
  if(shts.indexOf(sh.getName())!=-1 && e.range.columnStart==1 && e.value=="TRUE") {
    e.range.setValue("FALSE");
    sh.hideRows(Number(e.range.rowStart));
    e.source.toast('Row ' + e.range.rowStart + ' has been hidden.');
  }
}
