I want to preface this with the fact that I had help setting up the initial code for the sheet, as I do not have training in this arena of expertise. I have my sheet set up so that I have check boxes in Column A and C with time stamps going into B and D, but I would also like it so that if a check box needs to be unchecked that data is removed.
A B C D
check box | Time stamp | Check Box | Time Stamp
I have the below, but I am not sure where to go from here to actually have the data in B or D be removed if A or C is unchecked. I am not sure what is correct to put in the deleting portion
any help is so so so greatly appreciated!
function myFunction() {
// get the active sheet so you can check if the checkbox in the current cell is checked
// get the selected cell on the sheet
// get the coordinates of the cell to write the date/time to
var activeSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var activeCell = activeSheet.getCurrentCell();
var nextCol = activeCell.offset(0, 1);
// if the checkbox in the current cell is checked, then write date and time
// into the cell immediately to the right of the checked cell
// after a box is checked and the date/time are written into the cell next to it,
// do not allow that cell to be updated in the future regardless of the state
// of the checkbox being changed
if (activeCell.isChecked()) {
// get the date object in order to find date and time
var date = new Date();
// write the date and time only if the cell next to the active cell is empty
if (nextCol.getValue() === '') {
nextCol.setValue(date.toLocaleDateString() + ' ' + date.toLocaleTimeString());
}
}
// if the checkbox is unchecked and there's text in the column next to it, then remomve the text in the column
if (!activeCell.isChecked();
