Count Numbers Gsheet / Javascript

Back End Help
#1

Can someone help me and tell me why it doesn’t work with bigger or smaller?
The function should count how many numbers are below 10.
thank you

This code doesn’t work and give me a 43 back.

function calculationFirstColumn() { 
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var originalData = sheet.getRange(2, 2, sheet.getLastRow() -1, 1).getValues();
  var total = 0;
  for (var i = 0; i < originalData.length; i++){
    if(originalData[i][0] <= 10){
      total += originalData[i][0];
    }
    Logger.log(total);
  }
  sheet.getRange("B18").setValue(total); 
}

This code works and give me a 3 back.

function calculationFirstColumn() { 
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var originalData = sheet.getRange(2, 2, sheet.getLastRow() -1, 1).getValues();
  var total = 0;
  for (var i = 0; i < originalData.length; i++){
    if(originalData[i][0] == 1){
      total += originalData[i][0];
    }
    Logger.log(total);
  }
  sheet.getRange("B18").setValue(total); 
}

what should your code do? what it does instead?

if you don’t explain that, we don’t know what to check. We can’t read your mind.

Right. The function should count the numbers below 10. If the function = 1 I get the right number.

BUT If the function is “<=” or “>=” the function does not work. It is the first if statement.

#4

so you mean that this line doesn’t work?

  if(originalData[i][0] == 1){

what happens if you change that?

can you add console.log statements for originalData[i][0] and total and your if condition inside the loop? and show what happens with == and <=?

No exactly the other way around.

  if(originalData[i][0] == 1){...................... work
  if(originalData[i][0] <= 10){................... doesn't work

please log the values to the console. Or somewhere.

I just noticed something. Thank you in advance for your help.
The numbers are summed up. But what I actually want is that the function counts how often a number occurs in a column.

Example:
if (originalData [i] [0] == 13) {
The function writes a 13 on the sheet with this line.
But what I want him to do is write a 1 because the number 13 is only once in the first column.

#8

if you don’t want to sum them, why do you do this?

that does not work either. I just do not understand -.-’
originalData [i] [0] <= 10) { total++;}

#10

what output do you get with this?

As I do not have your sheet, I can’t try it myself, so please add console.log() statements as I asked before and show what is printed to the console.

I solved the problem. Unfortunately I can not explain why I need the second condition.
I once gave you a vivid picture.

Again what I want. I want to filter out the number of numbers that are less than 10 in the first column.

12 is the correct number because 12 numbers are under 10. I do not know exactly what the 32 are and do not understand why I get this number.

// With this code I get the right number 12.
if(originalData[i][0] <= 10 && originalData[i][0] !='')

// With this code I get the wrong number.
 if(originalData[i][0] <= 10)
#12

just a picture of the code is not enough to debug.
I need to see stuff printed to the console. Which you have never provided.
It is fine if you don’t know how that works, but you need to say so.
the console.log statement should be your best friend when you debug.

I need to see what each originalData[i][0] is
if you also could log the whole of originalData it would be awesome.
You also don’t know what the value of originalData is.

Probably you have many empty cells over which you are iterating.
I have no idea, as I would need to see what the values are.

Okay, I looked at how it works. I hope you can understand it better now. I still don’t understand why the array doesn’t have the defined area.

function calculationFirstColumn() { 
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var originalData = sheet.getRange(2, 2, sheet.getLastRow() -1, 1).getValues();
  var total = 0; 
  for (var i = 0; i < originalData.length; i++){ 
    
    
      if(originalData[i][0] <= 10 && originalData[i][0] !=''){  
         total ++;

Logger.log(originalData[i][0]);
