I've been battling with this for several days and used many previous answers found on these site, as well as a few others, but still can't get my script to run as intended.

I have a dropdown box on one cell (B3) in my google sheet, and I want an edit in that cell to trigger a macro. I had it kind of working, but the macro was triggered by changes on other sheets of the same workbook, which screwed up the content of that incorrect sheet.

I tried to add a couple of 'if' statements to firstly check the sheet name is correct, then check that the active cell is the one I want to trigger the rest of the code, but this is where I'm stuck getting the following error message "TypeError: activeSheet.getRange.getA1Notation is not a function"

I've attached the code up to where it errors, as I know that everything below it works fine.

function hltcells(){

  var activeSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var sheetNameTest = activeSheet.getSheetName();

  if(activeSheet.getSheetName() == 'Pax Split Sheet'){

  if (activeSheet.getRange.getA1Notation() === 'B3'){

N.B. I've tried this same essential code using the onEdit(e) type of trigger, but still no joy.

I eventually figured this one out by using the layout from this YouTube channel > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0p4PexixhA

    I'm really glad that you found a solution AND that you saw the value in answering your own question. One thing: Credit the YT video by all means, but it would be a "better answer" if you included your revised code and a snapshot of your screen layout. That is, you showed the inspiration for your answer but you didn't actually show your answer. I do agree that it is appropriate to acknowledge the YouTube video.
