google apps script - Unable to activate a sheet by name -


i'm trying activate monthly sheet upon opening spreadsheet, according current month.

the problem @ end of script, when fails selecting sheet. seems getsheetbyname() gets null value, not accepted setactivesheet(). 

function selectmonth(){   var now= new date();   var month= now.getmonth()+1;     var ss=spreadsheetapp.getactivespreadsheet();   var sheetname="";    switch (month){     case 1:       sheetname="urtarrila01";  //english=january01       break;     case 2:       sheetname="otsaila02";    //english=february02 , on...       break;     case 3:       sheetname="martxoa03";       break;     case 4:       sheetname="apirila04";       break;     case 5:       sheetname="maiatza05";       break;     case 6:       sheetname="ekaina06";       break;     case 9:       sheetname="iraila09";       break;     case 10:       etiketaizena="urria10";       break;     case 11:       sheetname="azaroa11";       break;     case 12:       sheetname="abendua12";       break;           default:       sheetname="laburpena-resumen";   }   //here mysheet gets null value, although sheet exist, named "sheetname)    var mysheet=ss.getsheetbyname(sheetname);    //an here script fails, error message=invalid argument on next line   ss.setactivesheet(mysheet); }

well final code works:

enter code here    function hilehonetan(){   var now= new date();    var month= now.getmonth();   var mysheetname="";   var ss=spreadsheetapp.getactivespreadsheet();   var sheetnames= ['urtarrila01', 'otsaila02', 'martxoa03', 'apirila04',  'maiatza05',  'ekaina06', 'ekaina06', 'ekaina06', 'iraila09', 'urria10', 'azaroa11' , 'abendua12']   mysheetname= sheetnames[month];   var mysheet=ss.getsheetbyname(mysheetname);   mysheet.activate();  }

your script more simple ... try : (all lines marked ;// can removed can indeed removed , there demo purpose)

function selectmonth(){   var now= new date();   var month = now.getmonth();     logger.log(month);// can removed   var ss = spreadsheetapp.getactivespreadsheet();   var sheetnames = [];// can removed   var sheets = ss.getsheets();// can removed   for( var n in sheets){;// can removed     sheetnames.push(sheets[n].getname());// can removed   };// can removed   var mysheet = ss.getsheets()[month]    ss.setactivesheet(mysheet);   browser.msgbox("this sheet "+sheetnames[month]);// can removed }

and "short" version :

function selectmonth(){    var now= new date();    var month = now.getmonth();      var ss = spreadsheetapp.getactivespreadsheet();    var mysheet = ss.getsheets()[month]     ss.setactivesheet(mysheet); }

edit : if want sheets names (in case cannot sure sheet order) implement below (which still quite simpler code) :

function selectmonth(){   var now= new date();   var month = now.getmonth();     logger.log(month);   var ss = spreadsheetapp.getactivespreadsheet();   var sheetnames = ['sheet1','sheet2','sheet3','sheet4','sheet5','sheet6','sheet7','sheet8','sheet9','sheet10','sheet11','sheet12',];;   logger.log(sheetnames)   var mysheet = ss.getsheetbyname(sheetnames[month]);   ss.setactivesheet(mysheet);   browser.msgbox("this sheet "+sheetnames[month]);// can removed }

edit 2 : since seem keep getting issues let me suggest third version takes advantage of numbers included in sheetnames , find right sheet if not sorted... goes :

function selectmonth(){   var now= new date();   var month = now.getmonth();     var ss = spreadsheetapp.getactivespreadsheet();   var mysheet;   var sheets = ss.getsheets();   for( var n in sheets){     var index = number(sheets[n].getname().replace(/[^0-9]/ig,''));     logger.log(index);// index number included in sheetname, can sheet in following loop.     if(index == month+1){mysheet = ss.getsheets()[n] ; break}   }   ss.setactivesheet(mysheet);   browser.msgbox("this sheet "+mysheet.getname()); }
