Our company offers soft loans to employees. I am trying to write some code that will set up a loan deduction schedule once a loan is approved. This is all done on google sheets. The schedule then can be linked to payroll etc.
The approved loans will appear in a format like this:- Loans Approved - [Serial, Employee ID,Amount, Monthly Deductions,Requested Date,Deduction Start Date]
I am looking to build an array that will have the first 4 elements that repeat and the deduction month to increase by 1
So far this is my code
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Loans");
var range = sheet.getDataRange();
var data = range.getValues()
var lastRow = range.getLastRow()
var scheduleSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Schedule")
var scheuduleLastRow = scheduleSheet.getDataRange().getLastRow;
for(let i=1;i<lastRow;i++){
var serial = data [i][0]
var id = data [i][1]
var amount = data[i][2]
var monthlyRepayment = data [i][3]
var startDate = new Date (data [i][5])
var markScheduleDone = sheet.getRange(i+1,7)
var fullMonths = Math.floor(amount/monthlyRepayment)
var remainderMonth = (amount/monthlyRepayment)-fullMonths
var remainderAmount = Math.round(remainderMonth*monthlyRepayment)
for (let j=1;j<=fullMonths+1;j++){
var incrementalMonths = new Date(startDate.setMonth(startDate.getMonth()+1)) ;
}
var newArray = [serial,id,monthlyRepayment];
var remainderArray = [serial,id,remainderAmount];
var reptArray = Array(fullMonths).fill(newArray);
var finalArray = [...reptArray,remainderArray]
Logger.log(finalArray)
var toPasteto = scheduleSheet.getRange(scheuduleLastRow+1,1,finalArray.length,3)
toPasteto.setValues(finalArray)
markScheduleDone.setValue ("Done")
}
}
I am close but I cant figure out how to join the incrementalMonths to the finalarray.
This is the first time im using a loop within a loop
Also any guidance if I could have done this better?
Kinldy requesting some guidance
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but try this.
Notice I fill the array finalArray with all the newArrays so I only have to setValues() once. Same with markDone.
I increment the month but if the day happens to fall outside the number of days in a month it will increment to another day. So for any 28 or 30 day months there should be another check but I didn't do that.
My particular style of coding is to always use a try {} catch() {} block, always terminate a line with semicolon ;, and to use let instead of var whenever possible.
function myFunction() {
try {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Loans");
var range = sheet.getDataRange();
var data = range.getValues()
var lastRow = range.getLastRow()
var scheduleSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Schedule")
var scheuduleLastRow = scheduleSheet.getDataRange().getLastRow();
let finalArray = [];
let markDone = [];
for(let i=1;i<lastRow;i++){
var serial = data [i][0];
var id = data [i][1];
var amount = data[i][2];
var monthlyRepayment = data [i][3];
var startDate = new Date (data [i][5]);
var fullMonths = Math.floor(amount/monthlyRepayment);
var remainderMonth = (amount/monthlyRepayment)-fullMonths;
var remainderAmount = Math.round(remainderMonth*monthlyRepayment);
let day = startDate.getDate();
if( day > 28 ) throw "This function has not adjusted for short months"
let month = startDate.getMonth();
let year = startDate.getFullYear();
let newArray = [];
for (let j=1;j<=fullMonths+1;j++){
month++;
if( month > 11 ) {
month = 0;
year++;
}
var date = new Date(year,month,day);
newArray.push([serial,id,monthlyRepayment,date])
}
newArray.push([serial,id,remainderAmount,date]);
finalArray = finalArray.concat(newArray);
Logger.log(newArray);
markDone.push(["Done"]);
}
sheet.getRange(2,7,markDone.length,1).setValues(markDone);
scheduleSheet.getRange(scheuduleLastRow+1,1,finalArray.length,4).setValues(finalArray);
}
catch(err) {
Logger.log(err)
}
}
