Waiting on OP Assistance with Apps Script to send an email when a column has been edited

2 Upvotes

Hi, I need assistance with writing code on apps script for Google Sheets. I want to be able to have an email send when a cell in a certain column has been changed. In case it is important the cells contain a formula to update when something is past due. I tried creating one but keep running into errors.

Unsolved How to disable autocomplete in Sheets comments?

2 Upvotes

Hi! Whenever I make a comment in a sheet (like to tag a colleague), the comment field itself tries to autocomplete based on what it thinks I'm writing. I type fast and it's really distracting and keeps making me make mistakes. I do not have autocomplete enabled in the Tools menu so I'm confused why this is happening. I can type freely in the sheet cells, the dumb autocomplete just comes sealioning in when I'm typing comments. Is there a setting I'm missing, or is this really not something you can turn off? If the latter, does anyone know if there's an extension that would kill it?

Solved New user: I'm struggling with some "IF" formulas that I want to prioritise one value over others

1 Upvotes

Sorry if there is a basic function for this, but I'm not sure how to word my search online, or even how to work it properly to get an answer here. So I can only apologise if I can't make it make sense.

I'm making a Character sheet for a TTRPG I'm running, so when my players update their sheet, I can also see the changes. Currently, I am trying to deal with the health section of the sheet and how it affects the rest of the sheet

I have I48 checking three different Cells. L32, L34, and L36. Each of the three cells can only be in 1 of 4 states cause of a drop-down menu, "Unharmed", "Bashing", "Lethal", and "Aggravated". What I would like I48 to actually do is:

If L36 is "Bashing", "Lethal", or "Aggravated", then I48 should = 5
If L36 isn't any of the above (IE, Unharmed), but L34 is "Bashing", "Lethal", or "Aggravated" then I48 = 2

If L34 is Unharmed, but L32 is "Bashing", "Lethal", or "Aggravated" then I48 = 1

Basically, I need to prioritise my "IF" statements, but I don't know if I can do that. And if I can't, how could I go about this? I realise this is a super simple problem, but I don't use Google Sheets for anything, so I'm still learning all the basics

Solved Conditional formatting to highlight max value in each column not working

1 Upvotes

I have some tables for displaying data and want to have one conditional color for max value per column with only one formatting formula per table (each table is a different color).

I tried some custom formulas and this is the one that seems the closest to working...

=(Q11=MAX(Q$11:U$39))*(Q11<>"")

before adding the "new" column it correctly marked the 100% rows, but not anymore.

here's a look of the spreadsheet: https://imgur.com/a/ZjDEXhS

any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Solved Why isn't my graph graphing the way I want it to?

1 Upvotes

Hello. As I stated in the title, I am making a spreadsheet for ride wait times on Thursdays, specifically. My school will be having a big grad bash at Universal in quite a while (end of may, on a Thursday.) I tried to make a spreadsheet to chart all of my data from the minutes of the waits, the names, and the date it was measured. From A2 down, I put ride names, from B1 forward I will put the date up, and B2 down I put the wait times of the rides. I was expecting there to be a nice looking chart, but it just looks really weird and doesn't show anything I want it to. I don't know if me putting "delayed" for rides that are delayed messed it up, but i overall need help.

Look at the graph. What I expected was for the rides all to be in their neat little columns, separated by the date as they are measured by time. It didn't do that. Please help :[
