report

Gists In this report, it has investigated the large decimal numbers and the exponential notation for Google Spreadsheet. When the large decimal numbers are put to the Spreadsheet, the Spreadsheet automatically sets the display value using the exponential notation. In this report, the result when the values are retrieved by Spreadsheet service and Sheets API is shown. Sample script At first, please create new Spreadsheet and open the script editor. And please copy and paste the following script.

Gists Published: September 15, 2021 Updated: September 17, 2021 From the discussions, added data by changing the wait time of LockService for Web Apps. Kanshi Tanaike Introduction When the users try to write to a Spreadsheet using a form, the developers have to consider the concurrent submission from the form. For example, when multiple users submit the data with the form simultaneously, all data are possibly not to be saved to the Spreadsheet.

Gists Introduction Here, I would like to report the process costs for retrieving the 1st empty cell or 1st non empty cell of the specific column of Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script (GAS). For this situations, the following 2 patterns can be considered. Retrieving 1st empty cell of specific column by searching from TOP of sheet Retrieving 1st NON empty cell of specific column by searching from BOTTOM of sheet

Gists Published: January 16, 2021 Kanshi Tanaike Introduction At Stackoverflow, a lot of people post the questions and answers to the questions every day. There are various tags in Stackoverflow. A lot of discussions are performed at each tag. Their discussions bring the important information and are much useful for a lot of people. As one of tags, there is “google-apps-script”. I sometimes discuss at the questions with that tag. When we see the discussions, we can notice that the discussions are changed and progressed by the time, because “Google Apps Script” which is the origin of the tag is updated.

Gists Description When Google Spreadsheet is used, there is the case that the built-in functions and the custom functions in the cells are used. For the functions of Google Apps Script, there is the method for measuring the process cost. Ref But for the built-in functions, it is required to create the script for it. In this report, the script for measuring a function put in a cell has been proposed, and the process cost of the built-in functions has been measured.

Gists Introduction Here, I would like to report the process costs for retrieving the values from the arrays for Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script (GAS). When Spreadsheet is used with Google Apps Script, we have the following situations. Retrieve values from the multiple rows in a column. Retrieve values from the multiple columns in a row. When the values are retrieved from above situations, it is required to retrieve the values from 1 dimensional array in the 2 dimensional array.

Gists Introduction At Stackoverflow, a lot of people post the questions and answer to the questions every day. By this, there are a lot of important information in Stackoverflow. I have already reported “Trend of google-apps-script Tag on Stackoverflow” using the data retrieved from Stackoverflow. Ref. 1 It is found that the important statistical result can be obtained by analyzing the data on Stackoverflow. In this report, I would like to introduce the statistical analysis of duplicated questions for the google-apps-script tag in Stackoverflow.

Gists Introduction Here, I would like to report the process costs for searching values in Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script (GAS). When the values are searched in Google Spreadsheet, the following 3 patterns can be considered. Ref Retrieve all values using getValues, and the values are searched from the retrieved array. Use TextFinder. Use Query language. In these cases, it has already been found that the lowest process cost is to use the Query language.

Gists In this report, I would like to report for processing to create new file to the specific folder using Drive API. When the new file is created to the specific folder using Drive API, the property of parents with the value of folder ID is included in the request body of the method “Files: create”. About this process, I had thought that the file is directly created to the specific folder.

Gists Abstract This is a report for detecting quickly checked checkboxes on Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script. It supposes that when the checkbox is checked, a function of Google Apps Script is run by the event trigger. In this case, when the multiple checkboxes on Google Spreadsheet are checked quickly, the script cannot be run for all checked checkboxes, because of the response speed of the event trigger. It is considered that to understand the response of event trigger is useful for creating the application for Spreadsheet.

Gists Abstract I have already reported about “Change Tab Detection on Google Spreadsheet using onSelectionChange Event Trigger with Google Apps Script”.

Gists By Google's update at January 19, 2018, fetchAll method was added to the UrlFetch service. When I saw the usage, I couldn't find the detail information about the actual running state. So I investigated about it. As the result, it was found that the fetchAll method is worked by the asynchronous processing. The returned data is reordered by the order of requests. By this, it was also found that if you want to retrieve the data from the several URL, the process cost of UrlFetchApp.

Gists Benchmark: Loop for Array Processing using Google Apps Script July 26, 2018 Updated. Result of reduce was added. Kanshi Tanaike Introduction Please be careful! This result can be only used for Google Apps Script. There are a limit executing time for Google Apps Script (GAS). That is 6 minutes.1 So users always have to pay attention to reducing the process cost of the scripts. Especially, it is very important to know the process cost for the array processing, because the array processing is often used for spreadsheet and Google APIs.

Gists Introduction There are event objects at Google Apps Script. Typically, users which use Spreadsheet often use onEdit(event). Here, I would like to introduce the process costs for the event objects using this onEdit(event). When onEdit(event) is used for the spreadsheet, event of onEdit(event) has the following structure. { "authMode": {}, "range": { "columnStart": 1, "rowStart": 1, "rowEnd": 1, "columnEnd": 1 }, "source": {}, "oldValue": "old sample text", "user": { "nickname": "sampleName", "email": "sample email" }, "value": "sample text" } In this structure, for example, the range of active cell is "range": {"columnStart": 1, "rowStart": 1, "rowEnd": 1, "columnEnd": 1 }.

Description There are a limit executing time for Google Apps Script (GAS). It's 6 minutes. So users have to pay attention to the process cost of the script. GAS can use JavaScript 1.7. This means to be able to be used comprehension for GAS. In this report, the process cost for the comprehension has been investigated. The normal for loop was used as the competitor. As a result, it was found that the comprehension can be used one of methods for reducing the process cost.

This “souwapy” is a library for summing array elements with high speed by new algorithm (Pyramid method). The speed is faster than csv and panbdas module of python and v8 engine of node.js. The souwapy module is 2.3 and 3.1 times faster than csv and pandas module, respectively. This was really surprised me. It was found that the theory was correct. At first, I have created this theory for Google Apps Script.

Abstract I have already reported that the pyramid method is one of very effectively algolithms for summing string elements in an array using Google Apps Script (GAS). This report describes the adaptability of the pyramid method to any languages except for GAS. c++ (g++), Go, Java, Javascript on Node.js, Python and Ruby were chosen as the sample languages. In those languages, there are languages which have the distinctive commands for summing the array elements.

Abstract I considered an efficient algorithm for summation of array elements. All elements in an array are string. When those elements are summed using scripts, a standard method is to add each element in order. If the script is run without any optimize, the process becomes gradually sluggish, because the total amount of active data during the summation process is proportional to the square of the number of array elements. This leads directly to the high process-cost.
