If a cell in a column contains a specific string, then add a different cell value to an additional cell

Question

I am trying to have Apps Script perform the following:

• If a cell in column H contains the string "Credit Card" then add that rows column C value (sum) to cell K6.

I believe I would put together a loop function for this, but I am a brand new beginner with JavaScript and coding in general.

Answer 1

As for Apps Script scripting, I see a onSelectionChange trigger that could initiate your script which would compare the stringified cell contents to "Credit Card".

Unrelated to Google Sheets, a webpage script would use Javascript with the DOM APIs, you would use keyUp events to trigger your script which would do a string comparison against the trimmed input String.prototype.trim() , and then perform whatever actions you want to after that.
