I am using the event Create Spreadsheet row to add a row into a Google Sheet.  It appears to be inserting new a row, whch breaks cell references in other tabs.  I would like to put the new row into the existing blank row at the bottom of a sheet vs. inserting a new blank row.  Is that possible?

 

Hi ​@HLeibacher 

Zap actions steps:

  • Action: GSheet - Lookup Row
    • Need to search by a column with a value
      • e.g. USED = YES / NO
  • Action: GSheet - Update Row
    • Map the Row/ID from the previous step

​@Troy Tessalone Thank you for the quick response!  In the Lookup Row action, is there a way to look up the first blank value at the bottom of the sheet?  Since the Lookup Value is required, I’m not sure how to look for the first blank.

​@HLeibacher 

To lookup an existing row you need to use a lookup column and a lookup value.

EXAMPLE

  • Lookup Column: USED
  • Lookup Value: NO

 

Then when updating the GSheet row, change USED = YES

Thank you!  That lookup and update approach worked.  Hopefully someday we will get an enhancement to update into the first blank line so we can skip the lookup 

That’s amazing ​@HLeibacher! A huge thanks to Troy for pointing you in the right direction!
