I searched and searched and SEARCHED to find the code for this EXACT thing! I simply cannot tell you HOW MUCH I appreciate you doing this VIDEO!!! I have spent endless hours to try to get this to work and could not get it! AMAZING and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING MY SANITY! :)
I had an issue as many have with the ranged error. Two things - an error will be returned if you run the code from the editor OR debugger. The reason for this is the conditions of the fields are not being met on the spreadsheet side and this is normal. The other thing is recheck ALL OF YOUR SYNTAX. I chased this problem for far longer than I should have and found I had typed a "v" where a "u" should have gone in value - was too easy to miss but it looked right at a glance. Once this correction was made the code started to function correctly. Another great video by this youtuber!
I freaking love you, man! Thanks for the lesson, it works wonders! S2 Thank you, thank you a lot! I can't express how grateful I am to you right now! Best regards!
I remember following this 2 years ago took me easily 3 hours or so and I got a headache. It felt like a huge achievement to complete it. Now I made this code for a new sheet and it took me 30 min, felt easy, but most importantly,; this video has proven valueable over and over. I use this code in a sheet I use weekly and it has saved me lots of time. Thanks a bunch!
I really appreciate the video which you have made, it is very easier for the non-technical person to understand, thank you so much. I am the new person who is going to use this script in our master sheet and also I would like to see more videos to learn the same from scratch... :)
Thank you so much for doing this, I love this page so much. You are contributing to something that is going to change the world, and I can't thank you enough. Thank you for all these tutorials, they have helped me insurmountably.
I am so glad I stumbled on your channel this is perfect. now I have to figure out that when our receptionist receives a package, based on the tracking number it will fill in the carrier in cell 3 Thanks so much for this tutorial
Thank you so much, brother! This is exactly the solution I was looking for! I was experimenting with circular reference formulas, but the date would update the following day after inputting content into adjacent cells. So I needed a different solution. I thought of using some sort of script and just searched UA-cam. Thank goodness I found your video! You saved me so much time! Well done, great work! - Greeting from Toronto, Canada!

Congratulations ! i not speak well english, but you explain very easy and simple , thanks for your work , definettly best tutorial ever ! hugs from Perú
This is quite amazing! I found a different way of doing it, it is simple, but works for me. I created a "form" with google forms..... as a question you can ask: what is the package id? and let the response be text (the id)... once the answer is submitted you can ask google forms to send the results to a google spreadsheet..... the time stamp is a default column.
i really appreciate and do love everything you teach. It's so simple and easy to use in real work. I practice and really use it in my restaurant. I would like to thank you for all these knowledge. If you come to Thailand, let me know, I will guide you around enjoy Bangkok for 1 day....Thankssssssssssss my real teacher
There have been a few questions on how to run the same script on more than one sheet, but not all of them. Through simple copy and paste, I quickly created multiple scripts, one for each sheet I wanted the script to run on, giving each a unique name (e.g., Script1, Script2, Script3. - I gave mine the name of the sheet they corresponded to). Note, you can only have one script named "onEdit." You will want to reserve the onEdit name for the short "master script" that will run the rest. After creating each new script, copy and paste the same code into each. Then, change the script name on the first line of code (right after "function" and before "(e)" to match the name of the new script. Then, change the sheet reference in the code located right after "getName() ===" to match the name of the sheet that script should run on. Finally, go back to your original onEdit script and delete all of the code and paste the following new code, making the onEdit script the "master script" to run the rest of them (of course, modify the script names to match your script names, adding however many scripts you have): function onEdit(e) { script1(e); script2(e); script3(e); } Remember to save the scripts. While on the onEdit master script, click "Run." The sheet-specific scripts will execute in the order they appear in your onEdit master script. I have no coding skills. But after some research, this approach worked for me.
You might want to check this guy's vid at 3:30 ua-cam.com/video/N4V0FZASK60/v-deo.html He talks about the "OR" statement and how you can use it This will make your code a lot shorter and quicker to execute. I also got no coding knowledge but trust me it's easy EDIT: It's not very easy tho For it to work properly my if statement had to be: if(col === targetColumn && row >= startRow && e.source.getActiveSheet().getName() === ws ||col === targetColumn && row >= startRow && e.source.getActiveSheet().getName() === bs){ bs stands for bullsh!t as well as var bs = Sheet 2 I had to repeat almost the entire statement inside IF() So in theory you could expand this row infinitely for as many sheets as you want In the end it works, even though it's not as compact as I'd like
Great tutorial, I have a very little experience with programming language, but you really made it for me. I do still have one question related to this timestamp method. I realized that this method only works with cell edited manually, so for example I paste 3 rows of data, it would only update timestamp for the first cell only, the second and third one wouldn't be updated. Could you please help me with this one ? Really appreciate your woks man!
muchas gracias, ya tenía un modelo de script en GAS, para hacer funcionar registros de modificación, me andaban bien, hasta que la hoja tuvo que albergar a varios agentes haciendo modificaciones, espero que ahora con esta forma de registro, pueda funciona, probaré ahora mismo en mi hoja, muchas gracias por ayudarme a simplificar !!!
Great instructions! Thanks. Is there a way to make the timestamp trigger when you paste several rows of data into the target column? Currently it only adds the timestamp to the top line where the start of the list was pasted.
I am currently working on app scripting as i am new to it i am facing some difficulties . I will be thankful if you could help me . My question is : There is two columns A and B . A has some id's and B has version which is initially zero. I want to search an id , id it is found then the version will be set to 1 . If again i am searching the same id the version will be 2 . Thank you in advance
Amazing tutorial, Can you make another video about date stamp but with multiple sheet with different layout and multiple Columns that have a dedicated date stamp column for each?
suggestion: to suit the context of a package ID and comments, which might instead be something like "Status" (en route, delivered, etc), the script would be better suited to monitor column 2 (because a package ID wont change, but its status will).
