My script below doesn't run. I want to move an entire row to a new sheet automatically when a certain column has a dropdown selection of "Complete" in the Google Sheets script editor.
Move row to new sheet if column 53 is "Complete"
Here's my code:
/**
* Moves row of data to another spreadsheet based on criteria in column 6 to sheet with same name as the value in column 4.
*/
function onEdit(e) {
// see Sheet event objects docs
// https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/triggers/events#google_sheets_events
var ss = e.source;
var s = e.range.getSheet();
var r = e.range;
// to let you modify where the action and move columns are in the form responses sheet
var actionCol = 53;
var nameCol = 51;
// Get the row and column of the active cell.
var rowIndex = r.getRowIndex();
var colIndex = r.getColumnIndex();
// Get the number of columns in the active sheet.
// -1 to drop our action/status column
var colNumber = s.getLastColumn()-1;
// if our action/status col is changed to ok do stuff
if (e.value == "Complete" && colIndex == actionCol) {
// get our target sheet name - in this example we are using the priority column
var targetSheet = s.getRange(rowIndex, nameCol).getValue();
// if the sheet exists do more stuff
if (ss.getSheetByName(targetSheet)) {
// set our target sheet and target range
var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName(targetSheet);
var targetRange = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow()+1, 1, 1, colNumber);
// get our source range/row
var sourceRange = s.getRange(rowIndex, 1, 1, colNumber);
// new sheets says: 'Cannot cut from form data. Use copy instead.'
sourceRange.copyTo(targetRange);
// ..but we can still delete the row after
s.deleteRow(rowIndex);
// or you might want to keep but note move e.g. r.setValue("moved");
}
}
}
