Clear selected stale values during report maintenance
Use a recurring maintenance run to clear values from ranges that match specified data filters.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Batch Clear Values By Data Filter
Clears one or more ranges of values from a spreadsheet using data filters. the caller must specify the spreadsheet id and one or more datafilters. ranges matching any of the specified data filters will be cleared. only values are cleared -- all other properties of the cell (such as formatting, data validation, etc..) are kept.
Why this helps
Stale values can linger in report areas and confuse the next review cycle.
- Clear values selected through data filters.
- Preserve non-value cell properties as supported by the action.
- Include targeted cleanup in scheduled report maintenance.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Browserless and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, specify the reporting check and the data filters for ranges to clear.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real filtered range and confirm the intended values were cleared.
Questions about this workflow
Does this delete worksheet rows?
No. It clears cell values matching data filters; use a dimension deletion action only when rows or columns should be removed.
Will formatting be removed?
The action clears values only; other cell properties such as formatting and data validation are retained.
