Question

I\'d like to be able to delete an entire row in a Google Spreadsheets if the value entered for say column \"C\" in that row is 0 or blank. Is there a simple script I could w

Answer 1

reading your question carefully, I came up with this solution:

function onOpen() {
  // get active spreadsheet
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();

  // create menu
  var menu = [{name: "Evaluate Column C", functionName: "deleteRow"}];

  // add to menu
  ss.addMenu("Check", menu);
}

function deleteRow() {
  // get active spreadsheet
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();

  // get active/selected row
  var activeRow = ss.getActiveRange().getRowIndex();

  // get content column C
  var columnC = ss.getRange("C"+activeRow).getValue();

  // evaluate whether content is blank or 0 (null)
  if (columnC == '' || columnC == 0) {
    ss.deleteRow(parseInt(activeRow));
  }
}

This script will create a menu upon file load and will enable you to delete a row, based on those criteria set in column C, or not.
