So you are asking how to update the Google Sheet?

I would use the AI2 spreadsheet component.

as i'm new and bigner user so need much much support & guidance to update value in google sheet.
fire match value in emp. code.
second match value in meal date
then amendments / modify or update record as given data

highly thanks

You will need to get the rowid of the cell you want to update.

There are several ways to do this:

  • add an extra column to the sheet, with =rowid() =Row() as its value. That's a Google Sheets function that should return the row id of wherever you use that. (thanks @TIMAI2 for the correction)

  • Use the Spreadsheet block for reading a sheet with a filter, and save the two parallel lists it returns:

    • the rowids of the returned rows
    • the returned rows
      then loop through the returned rows to find the index of the one you want, and use its corresponding rowid
  • Add an extra column to your sheet, with the concatenation of the cells (date,name,code) to give you a unique filter target for getting the rowid (The easiest, in my opinion.)

thanks a lot for reply. can you share any exemple or block

This Youtube video explains how to add a column to your sheet that you can use as a compound key for single-column filters:

When the filter on the compound key comes back, it should be accompanied by the row id you need for updating cells in that row.
