Unable to retrieve single value from array of values

I'm trying to retrieve a value to do a String comparison test and I can't seem to retrieve the single value from an array of values. Here's my code:



function CoverageCalculator() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();

var searchRange = sheet.getRange('D3:D20')
var rangeValues = searchRange.getValues();

var Test = searchRange[1][1];
}


In debug mode, "Test" is undefined, any ideas on why this might be the case?

    Shouldn't it be rangeValues[1][1]?

Change



var Test = searchRange[1][1];


to



var Test = rangeValues[1][0];


The above because searchRange is a Range object, not an array, but rangeValues it's. Regarding the indexes, the first one determines the row, and the second the column and considering that the source range is D3:D20 the resulting array has 17 rows high and 1 column width, then the maximum valid index for the second index is 0.

  • Ah, yes. Typo on my part, though rangValues still returns an undefined

  • Since it's an array of width 1 (I think that's the right terminology?) ie, a column vector, I just need to declare an element, not a [row][column] So, var Test = rangeValues[1]; works Thank you!
