Hello,
If you want to specify which column’s changes will trigger the timestamp, all you have to do is include an IF ELSE statement inside the existing one. For example, let’s say that the SL column is Column A in the sheet:
if(sheetName == 'Stock'){ if(range.getColumn() !== 1) return else{ var new_date = new Date(); spreadSheet.getActiveSheet().getRange(row,4).setValue(new_date).setNumberFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss"); } }So, if changes are made to any column other than column A or 1, no timestamps will be triggered.
For multiple triggers, we recommend different scripts for each.
I hope it helps!
Hi Max,
I am assuming that you are thinking about extracting the letters ABC from ABC-123. In this case, you can approach it in two ways without even using wildcards.
The first way is to use text functions to extract the number of characters from the string:
=LEFT(B2,LEN(B2)-4)
The LEN(B2)-4 removes the last 4 characters from the string.
For a more dynamic approach, you can look for the hyphen/dash as a delimiter to remove characters before or after it. In this case, to get ABC from ABC-123, the formula will be:
=MID(B2,1,FIND(“-“,B2)-1)
Just replace “-” with any delimiter of your choosing.
However, if you still want to extract using regular expression to get ABC from ABC-123, use this:
=REGEXREPLACE(B2,”[0-9-]”,””)
The regular expression to remove all digits and hyphens is given by [0-9-].
I hope this helps!
