So, on form submit, I got a timestamp, which looks like this:
"values":["2/18/2022 14:11:25"]
I then need to compare it with the one on the spreadsheet, so that I can set a number to an adjacent column. Then, I'm using the code below, but I'm facing an error on ```Utilities.formatDate()````
The code:
function onSubmit(e) {
Logger.log("%s", JSON.stringify(e));
const timeStamp = e.values[0]
const formRespSheet = e.source.getSheetByName('Form Responses 1')
var maxNumber = Math.max.apply(null, formRespSheet.getRange(2, 14, formRespSheet.getLastRow(), 1).getValues());
maxNumber = maxNumber + 1
Utilities.sleep(1000);//Tried it
const allTimeStamps = formRespSheet.getRange(2, 1, formRespSheet.getLastRow(), 1).getValues();
for (let a = 0; a < allTimeStamps.length; a++) {
let sheetTimeStamp = allTimeStamps[a]
sheetTimeStamp = Utilities.formatDate(sheetTimeStamp, Session.getTimeZone(), "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss")
if (sheetTimeStamp.valueOf() == timeStamp.valueOf()) {
const row = a + 1
formRespSheet.getRange(row, 14).setValue(maxNumber)
}
}
}
The error says:
The parameters (number[],String,String) don't match the method signature for Utilities.formatDate.
Thanks for your help.
Google Spreadsheet has a Date object that works very well for comparion. I always, and don't understand why everyone doesn't, set the number format of a cell or cells to Date. That way I can compare dates, subtract dates, etc. etc. Now, I know the time interers but a simple function can alleviate that problem, I have a spreadsheet that has two Dates that have the same date but they have different times. So I can compare if they are the same day.
function test() {
try {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet2");
var range = sheet.getRange("B1:B2");
var values = range.getValues();
function removeTime( value ) {
var temp = value[0];
value[0] = new Date(temp.getFullYear(),temp.getMonth(),temp.getDate());
};
console.log( new Date(values[0][0]) );
console.log( new Date(values[1][0]) );
console.log(values[0][0].valueOf() === values[1][0].valueOf());
values.forEach( removeTime );
console.log( new Date(values[0][0]) );
console.log( new Date(values[1][0]) );
console.log(values[0][0].valueOf() === values[1][0].valueOf());
}
catch(err) {
console.log(err);
}
}

sheetTimeStamp = Utilities.formatDate(sheetTimeStamp, Session.getTimeZone(), "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss")
change into:
sheetTimeStamp = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(sheetTimeStamp), Session.getTimeZone(), "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss")
it should work
