How can I tell if the last row has an "ABC" cell style applied?

Question

It doesn't seem right for me to write it this way.The result in if is always false. if(table.rows[-1].cells.everyItem().appliedCellStyle.name!=="ABC"){
. . .
}

Hi rob day.table.rows[-1].cells.everyItem().texts.everyItem().pointSize = 0.1;How this sentence is written inside { } is now incorrect. Also, it won't let me just write height: 1.058mm? table.rows[-1].cells.everyItem().properties = {    appliedCellStyle: "ABC",    contents: "",    texts.everyItem().pointSize: 0.1,    bottomEdgeStrokeWeight: 0,    leftEdgeStrokeWeight: 0,    rightEdgeStrokeWeight: 0,    topInset:0,    leftInset: 0,    bottomInset: 0,    rightInset: 0,        autoGrow: false,    height: 1.058,}  table.rows[-1].cells.everyItem().texts.everyItem().pointSize = 0.1; You would have to set the text properties separately. Also top, left, bottom, and rightInset have been deprecated to textTopInset (ect), And if you don’t want to set ruler or scripting units, use a string like this "1.058 mm": //the first table in the active documentvar t1 = app.activeDocument.stories[0].tables[0]//all the cells in the last rowvar lrc = t1.rows[-1].cells.everyItem().getElements();var b = false//check each cell of the last row. If any of the applied cell syle names are ABC set b to truefor (var i = 0; i < lrc.length; i++){    if (lrc[i].appliedCellStyle.name == "ABC") {        b = true;    } }; // make a new row and set every cell style to "ABC"if (!b) {t1.rows.add();    //set cell properties    t1.rows[-1].cells.everyItem().properties = { appliedCellStyle: "ABC", height: "1.058 mm", textTopInset: 0}    //set cell text properties    t1.rows[-1].cells.everyItem().texts.everyItem().properties = {pointSize: 0.1}    } alert(b + ": Add Row")

Hi @dublove , Your code throws multiple errors—you would need to specify the document’s table and the cell properties. If you want to check the appliedCellStyle of every cell in a row, you’ll need to loop through the row’s cells.

If you want to change all of a row’s cells to the same style, something like this would work:

//the first table in the active document
var t1 = app.activeDocument.stories[0].tables[0]
t1.rows[-1].cells.everyItem().properties = {appliedCellStyle:"ABC"}
 
But it would throw an error if a cell style named "ABC" did not exist, so you could add a try statement like this:
 
var t1 = app.activeDocument.stories[0].tables[0]
try {
    t1.rows[-1].cells.everyItem().properties = {appliedCellStyle:"ABC"}
}catch(e) {}
