Google Script: GetValue From Row With Today's Date

I am working with google sheets scripting and am trying to identify values which exceed a certain threshold. In this case there are 3 variables f1,f2 and pf. When the cell with the

Solution 1:

Getting daterange gives you a Range Object which you need to iterate in order to match a specific cell. First, we need to get a range of dates and then nullify timestamp information before comparing. Make the following changes:

// set and store a date object for today
var date = sheet.getRange("F1").setValue(new Date()).getValue();

// Get the range of dates to test
var daterange = sheet.getRange("A3:A").getValues()

// iterate the values in the range object
for(var i=0; i<daterange.length; i++) {

  // Compare only month/day/year in the date objects
  if(new Date(daterange[i]).setHours(0,0,0,0) == date.setHours(0,0,0,0)) {

    // if there's a match, set the row
    // i is 0 indexed, so add 3 to get the correct row
    var today_row = (i+3);

    // rest of your code
  }
}

I haven't tested each of your variables set in the if block, but this bit returns a correct evaluation of the date as well as the correct row.
