I attempted to build a script but there are some issues. The table format are 2 columns which are date and values. These are the needs:
IDEAL STATE
- Grab the last filled row (today's date) in the Google Sheets called "test".
- Check in that row if the value in column F is greater than 0.5.
- If it greater than 0.5, then trigger an email.
- In email body, it should state "Results found on [date]."
This was my starting point but it does not produce what I want. These are the issues:
CURRENT STATE
1.The script grabs every row in which column F was greater than 0.5 in the past. I only want to check for today (which would be the last row). It should not look through everything in the past.
2.The email body states: Result found on [row number]". This makes no sense. I want the date to show, not the row number.
This is the current code. Please help.
function readCell() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("test");
var values = sheet.getRange("F3:F").getValues(); //this has the values
var date = sheet.getRange("D3:D").getValues(); // this has the date
var results = [];
for(var i=0;i<values.length;i++){
if(values[i]>=0.5)
{
results.push("Result found on:" +(i+3));
}
}
MailApp.sendEmail('blabla@gmail.com', 'Alert', results.join("\n"));
};
Last Row in this context is Row 217, not 218, assuming sheet.getLastRow() would ignore #DIV/o! values. See screenshot for this.
LATEST UPDATE
The current Error is related "toDateString". I think it may be related that my Google Sheet is one day behind. So, it today is Jan 10, the last row in my Google Sheet is Jan 9th. I think that is why the error happens. Can you confirm? In that case, how do I change it to today-1 day?
