    I love the way you explain everything by stages, without delving into too much technicalities and even makes the improvements on it easy to grasp, so that even a code-ignorant like me can follow it easily. Subscribing to your channel in 3, 2, 1...!

    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 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!

    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.

    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 kzread.info/dash/bejne/gGiKkqiTcbaxZpM.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
