office script EXCEL: get last row

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by javier_perez 21

Hello all

 

im doing my first office script:

 

function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) {
  let selectedSheet = workbook.getActiveWorksheet();
  // Set range Y1:Y2 on selectedSheet
  selectedSheet.getRange("Y1:Y2")
    .setValues([
      ["Date"],
      ["=TEXT(TODAY(),'mm.dd.yyyy')"]
    ]);
  // Set width of column(s) Y1 to 73.5
  selectedSheet.getRange("Y1")
    .getFormat()
    .setColumnWidth(73.5);
  // Auto fill range
  selectedSheet.getRange("Y2")
    .autoFill("Y2:Y52", ExcelScript.AutoFillType.fillDefault);
}
 
and i need 2 things:
 
1. the formula to fill a cell with date fails....im pretty sure that is a problem with quotes
2. i need how to calculate last row to apply the auto fill
 
regards

    @javier_perez -

     

    Regarding your question to find the last row, I'm wondering if you have tried Range.getSurroundingRegion( ) . I think that should work as long as there are no completely blank rows or blank columns within the range.
