onEdit(e) 触发器在编辑单元格时不执行任何操作

Question

I am trying to change the text in a cell (different from the edited one) when a specific cell is being edited

I am using the following code:

function get_cells(){
  
  if (sheet.getRange(3,6).getValue() == 'Cat') {
  sheet.getRange(5,5).setValue('Animal')
} else if (sheet.getRange(3,6).getValue() == 'Apple') {
  sheet.getRange(5,5).setValue('Fruit')
} else {
  sheet.getRange(5,5).setValue(NaN)
}

}

function onEdit(e){
  var range = e.range;

  if (range.getRow()== 3 && range.getColumn()==6){
    get_cells();
  }
}

The idea is that when the cell (3,6) is edited then the content of the cell (5,5) will be changed automatically. But it doesn't work

Try it this way:

Get cells required the sheet. You could have learned this by viewing you executions.

function get_cells(sheet) {

  if (sheet.getRange(3, 6).getValue() == 'Cat') {
    sheet.getRange(5, 5).setValue('Animal')
  } else if (sheet.getRange(3, 6).getValue() == 'Apple') {
    sheet.getRange(5, 5).setValue('Fruit')
  } else {
    sheet.getRange(5, 5).setValue(NaN)
  }

}

function onEdit(e) {
  e.source.toast('entry');
  const sheet = e.range.getSheet();
  if (e.range.rowStart == 3 && e.range.columnStart == 6) {
    e.source.toast('first if')
    get_cells(sheet);
  }
}
