Enhanced onEdit(e) using Google Apps Script

onEdit(e) which is used for the Edit event on Spreadsheet has the old value as e.oldValue. The specifications for this are as follows.

1. When an user edited a single "A1" cell, e of onEdit(e) shows hoge for e.oldValue and fuga for e.value.
2. When an user edited the "A1:A2" multiple cells, e.oldValue and e.value of onEdit(e) are not shown anything.
3. When an user copied and pasted from other cell, e.oldValue and e.value of onEdit(e) are not shown anything.

This sample script was created to retrieve both the edited values and the old values for the range of edited cells. This is the modified e.oldValue.

How To Get Started In Google Apps Script

Initially intended to extend G Suite apps, I like to think of Google Apps Script as a gateway to more kinds of development. Think of it as workflow glue and the power of programming that can interract with Google Apps and external APIs too!

Purpose

Provide a living document for whenever someone asks, " so, how do i get started with Google Apps Script?".

Working Outline

Just the orgainizing principles and some key links.

1 Starting point: Good Things to Keep in Mind

Scripts are 'bound' to a container like sheets, docs, slides or forms. These can be accessed from the containing doc and opened say in sheets by going to the menu Tools > Script editor. Scripts can also be standalone for addons or web apps. Your script home page is a dashboard found here script.google.com. The help link there will get you to an explanation of the dashboard.

  //format=ods        //Open Document Spreadsheet
  //format=zip        //html zipped
