    Google sheets drop down + alert

    Hello,

    A total noob is asking this question

    I would like to pop up an alert message when a certain item gets selected in a drop down list in a column of my Google Sheets. After that I want to have two options in the alert message, continue selecting the value or cancel. I think I have to use onEdit() or onChange() functions, but not sure how to use them....

    Re: Google sheets drop down + alert

    Due to the many variables that determine how an Apps Script is written, to get the best help, please share a sample spreadsheet that shows realistic-looking sample data in the same cells (and using the same sheet names that will be used in your real life file) where you would like see them. Also, clearly indicate where the sample data is, and where the desired results are by highlighting them with colour, and be sure to describe if you wish to monitor all sheets, or a certain sheet or sheets.

    To attach a sample file, follow the instructions in the yellow banner at the top above your initial post.
