I'm trying to create a google sheets system for people to use to help keep track of their daily activities. We are currently hand writing this out every day. I orignally created a similar one on excel but I need it to be usable on multiple systems by muiltiple people so I'm moving it google sheets.
What I currently cannot figureout is how to properly use clearContents on a row when the information in column 1 is deleted (between A5 and A55).
In short, when cell A6 is deleted I want to use clearConents on the rest of row 6 but when data is entered in A6 it populates the time into different cells on row 6.
function onEdit(e) {
var sheet = e.source.getActiveSheet();
var activeCell = sheet.getActiveCell();
var col = activeCell.getColumn();
var row = activeCell.getRow();
//Start Time Function
if (col == 1 && isBlank){ // These first two rows are what I cannot figure out.
sheet.getRange(row).clearContent();
}
else if (col == 1){
sheet.getRange(row, col+11).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('hh:mm:ss');
sheet.getRange(row,col+13).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('hhmm');
sheet.getRange(row, col+5).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('hhmm');
sheet.getRange(row, col+3).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat();
}
//End Time Function
if (col == 8) {
sheet.getRange(row, col+5).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('hh:mm:ss');
sheet.getRange(row, col+7).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('hhmm');
sheet.getRange(row, col-1).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('hhmm');
}
}
Modifications
Based on the other answer, your working code can be optimized with the following modifications:
onEdit
trigger event object has a range
property that you can use instead of the getActiveCell
(regardless, it is recommended to use getCurrentCell
instead). setValues
, setNumberFormats
) and make modifications on in-memory objects. Calling I/O (input/output) methods (like getRange
or setValue
in a loop or repeatedly) is slow.===
. Why? Take a look at this: console.log( 0 == "" ); console.log( [] == "" ); console.log( 0 === "" ); console.log( [] === "" );
With all modifications applied, your script becomes the following:
function onEdit({
source,
range: currRng
}) {
var sheet = source.getActiveSheet();
var col = currRng.getColumn();
var row = currRng.getRow();
var val = currRng.getValue();
const maxRows = sheet.getMaxRows();
const maxCols = sheet.getMaxColumns();
const range = sheet.getRange(1, 1, maxRows, maxCols);
const values = range.getValues();
const formats = range.getNumberFormats();
const now = new Date();
const hhmmssFormat = "hh:mm:ss";
const hhmmFormat = "hhmm";
const colIdx = col - 1;
const rowIdx = row - 1;
//Start Time Function
if (col === 1 && row >= 5 && row <= 55 && val === "") {
sheet.getRange(row, 1, 1, maxCols).clearContent();
} else if (col === 1) {
const newValues = values.map((row, ri) => {
if (ri === rowIdx) {
row[colIdx + 11] = now;
row[colIdx + 13] = now;
row[colIdx + 5] = now;
row[colIdx + 3] = now;
}
return row;
});
const newFormats = formats.map((row, ri) => {
if (ri === rowIdx) {
row[colIdx + 11] = hhmmssFormat;
row[colIdx + 13] = hhmmFormat;
row[colIdx + 5] = hhmmFormat;
row[colIdx + 3] = hhmmFormat;
}
return row;
});
range.setValues(newValues);
range.setNumberFormats(newFormats);
console.log(range.getValues()[14]);
console.log(range.getNumberFormats()[14]);
}
//End Time Function
if (col === 8) {
const newValues = values.map(row => {
row[colIdx + 5] = now;
row[colIdx + 7] = now;
row[colIdx - 1] = now;
return row;
});
const newFormats = formats.map(row => {
row[colIdx + 5] = hhmmssFormat;
row[colIdx + 7] = hhmmFormat;
row[colIdx - 1] = hhmmFormat;
return row;
});
range.setValues(newValues);
range.setNumberFormats(newFormats);
}
}
You must have V8 runtime enabled for the above to work.

You are very close. Essentially you need to modify the first if condition like that:
if (col == 1 && row>=5 && row<=55 && sheet.getRange(row,col).getValue() == "")
col == 1
: cell in column A has to be edited row >=5
and <=55
: cell between A5 and A55 has to be edited. value == ""
: you cleared its value. and clear the full row if the aforementioned condition evaluates to true:
sheet.getRange(row,1,1,sheet.getMaxColumns()).clearContent();
function onEdit(e) {
var sheet = e.source.getActiveSheet();
var activeCell = sheet.getActiveCell();
var col = activeCell.getColumn();
var row = activeCell.getRow();
//Start Time Function
if (col == 1 && row>=5 && row<=55 && sheet.getRange(row,col).getValue() == ""){
sheet.getRange(row,1,1,sheet.getMaxColumns()).clearContent();
}
else if (col == 1){
sheet.getRange(row, col+11).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('hh:mm:ss');
sheet.getRange(row,col+13).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('hhmm');
sheet.getRange(row, col+5).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('hhmm');
sheet.getRange(row, col+3).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('hhmm');
}
//End Time Function
if (col == 8) {
sheet.getRange(row, col+5).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('hh:mm:ss');
sheet.getRange(row, col+7).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('hhmm');
sheet.getRange(row, col-1).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat('hhmm');
}
}
