Match text strings of two columns on different sheet and post back using google script

Question

I am trying to match two columns on two separate worksheets in the same workbook

I\'m am trying to match column A in both sheets

SheetA = FindReplace SheetB = T

Answer 1

How about this modification? Please think of this as one of several solutions.

• It processed the data as array.
• If the value of column A of sheetB is not existing to the column A of sheetA, if (b != res.length - 1) res.push([""]); is used.
  • The length of created array is necessary to be the same to the length of dataB. I used this.

Modified script :

function MatchColumns(){
  // gets spreadsheet A and the range of data
  var sheetA =SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("FindReplace");
  var dataA = sheetA.getRange(2, 1, sheetA.getLastRow(), 2).getValues();

  // gets spreadsheet B and the range of data
  var sheetB = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Test");
  var dataB = sheetB.getRange(2, 1, sheetB.getLastRow(), 1).getValues();

  // Added
  var res = [];
  for (var b in dataB) {
    for (var a in dataA) {
      if (dataA[a][0] == dataB[b][0]) res.push([dataA[a][1]]);
    }
    if (b != res.length - 1) res.push([""]);
  }
  sheetB.getRange(2, 2, res.length, res[0].length).setValues(res);
}

Result :

If I misunderstand your question, please tell me. I would like to modify.
