I've got a script that's doing some onEdit formatting on a sheet of mine. All the rest is working well, and I wanted to include a line that deletes spaces from number values I'm importing. That last line is not working.
Any ideas what I'm missing here?
function onEdit(e) {
var cell = e.range;
var sh = e.source.getActiveSheet();
if(sh.getName() === "Trading Journal") {
cell.setBackground('#fff');
cell.setFontSize(10)
cell.setFontFamily()
cell.replace(/\s/g, "")
}
}https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rkjO-ITeLdIHq-LLHfHcp6-1j1R0-giS6HGbwYdJ5Ek/edit?usp=sharing
Did a bit of research regarding this, and it seems that .replace() is a string method and therefore may not work with numbers. Reference
But if you only need to remove whitespaces from numbers, here is a simple solution:
function rSpaces() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var cell = ss.getActiveCell();
cell.trimWhitespace();
}
You can assign this on an onEdit trigger and check this documentation for any font modifications you want to add.
