Script google sheet to give a number specific on each new form submitted, only for one sheet of the spreadsheet.

Question

First of all, thank you for all your participation, most of my answers are already replied in this stack overflow.

So, I would like to have, in a specific column, for each new form submitted, a specific number (like a tracking number for each form).

I did this code, which is working perfectly to do what i want :

function onFormSubmit(e) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var row =  SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getLastRow();
sheet.getRange(row,1).setValue(row+10071);
}

But my issue,that is working in all the sheet of my spreadsheet, and I want it only in a specific sheet. So I tried with getSheetByName like this :

 function onFormSubmit(e) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getSheetByName(mysheetname);
var mysheetname="Module2"
var row =  SpreadsheetApp.getSheetByName().getLastRow();
sheet.getRange(row,1).setValue(row+10071);
}

But is not working at all.

Sorry for my bad english, but I did my best to be clear. If someone can help me, I will be very grateful. Regards

Paul

Answer 1

Perhaps try adding an IF to restrict the numbering to only that sheet: if (sheet.getName() = "*your sheet name*")

So, all together it would be:

function onFormSubmit(e) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var row = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getLastRow();
if (sheet.getName() = "*your sheet name*") {
  sheet.getRange(row,1).setValue(row+10071);
  }
}
