ruby-read-write-sheet

Ruby sample application that loads a sheet, updates selected cells, and saves the results

This is a minimal Smartsheet sample that demonstrates how to

• Load a sheet
• Loop through the rows
• Check for rows that meet a criteria
• Update cell values
• Write the results back to the original sheet

This sample scans a sheet for rows where the value of the "Status" column is "Complete" and sets the "Remaining" column to zero. This is implemented in the evaluate_row_and_build_update method which you could modify to meet your needs.

Setup

• Install the smartsheet library with gem install smartsheet or bundle at the command line

• Import the sample data from "Sample Sheet.xlsx" into a new sheet

• Update the config.json file with these two settings:

  • An API access token, obtained from the Smartsheet Account button, under Personal settings
  • The Sheet Id, obtained from sheet properties

• Run the application using your preferred IDE or at the command line with ruby read_write_sheet.rb

The rows marked "Complete" will have the "Remaining" value set to 0. (Note that you will have to refresh in the desktop application to see the changes)
