Copying data from a sheet to another with conditions - google-apps-script

I have been trying to copy some data from a sheet to another but I have been running into some trouble.
I have to copy data and stop copying until the scripts finds an empty space, and I have to paste this data into another sheet where there's blank space (available space).
This is the code I have so far:
function copyInfo() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var copySheet = ss.getSheetByName("sheet1");
var pasteSheet = ss.getSheetByName("sheet2");
var source = copySheet.getRange(11,1,1,10);
var destination = pasteSheet.getRange(1,1,1,10);
for (i = 1; i < 20; i++) {
if (destination.isBlank() == true) {
destination = pasteSheet.getRange(i, 1, 1, 10);
source = copySheet.getRange(i + 10, 1, 1, 10);
source.copyTo(destination);
} else {
destination = pasteSheet.getRange(i, 1, 1, 10);
}
}
}
It recognizes that the destination has an empty space, although it doesn't really paste it. The for (i = 1; i <20; i++) is for testing purposes.

If your data doesn't have any blank rows in between the first row and last non-empty row, then you can use this:
Sample Data:
sheet1
sheet2
Script:
function copyInfo() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var copySheet = ss.getSheetByName("sheet1");
var pasteSheet = ss.getSheetByName("sheet2");
// get last rows of each sheet
var sLastRow = copySheet.getLastRow();
var dLastRow = pasteSheet.getLastRow();
// get data from sheet1 from row 11 to last row
var source = copySheet.getRange(11,1,sLastRow - 10,10).getValues();
// paste data to sheet2's last row
pasteSheet.getRange(dLastRow + 1,1,source.length,source[0].length).setValues(source);
}
Output:
Alternative:
If you have blank rows in between your sheet1, you can filter the values in sheet1.
Sample Data:
blank row 13 in sheet1
function copyInfo() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var copySheet = ss.getSheetByName("sheet1");
var pasteSheet = ss.getSheetByName("sheet2");
// get last rows of each sheet
var sLastRow = copySheet.getLastRow();
var dLastRow = pasteSheet.getLastRow();
// get data from sheet1 from row 11 to last row
// exclude rows with blank values in all columns
var source = copySheet.getRange(11,1,sLastRow - 10,10).getValues()
.filter(row => row.filter(col => !col).length < row.length);
// paste data to sheet2's first blank row
pasteSheet.getRange(dLastRow + 1,1,source.length,source[0].length).setValues(source);
}
Output:

Google sheets script for copying data and pasting in another sheet on the same row as a specific numer

I have the following data:
[Source] Sheet 1 (Quote Generator):
Sheet 1, Cell A4: Dropdown menu to select a job reference
Sheet 1, Cells K4>Q4:= figures pulled from google maps & calculations dependant on A4 menu selection
[Destination] Sheet 2 (Quote Log):
Sheet 2, Column B: Quote References
Sheet 2, Columns V>AB: Travel data and calculations from sheet 1
I'm after a script that will copy the data in Sheet 1, Cells K4:Q4, and paste them in to Sheet 2, Columns V:AB on the same row as the selected job ref '100001' on Sheet 1, Cell A4, which will also be present in Sheet 2, Column B
Any help would be greatly appreciated
TIA
The data range you have specified is large than the range you want to put data in hence I have reduced the source range in the code. Try this.
function copyrow() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var source = SpreadsheetApp.openById('SheetID');
var dest = SpreadsheetApp.openById('SheetID');
var sourcerange = source.getRange('B4:H4');
var sourcerangevalue = sourcerange.getValues();
var checkval = source.getRange('A4').getValue();
var lastrow = dest.getLastRow();
var destrange = dest.getRange('B1:B');
var destrangevalue = destrange.getValues();
for (i = 1; i <= lastrow; i++) {
if (checkval == destrangevalue[i]) {
dest.getRange('A15').setValue(destrangevalue[i])
dest.getRange("V" + i + ":AB" + i).setValues(sourcerangevalue)
};
};
};
function myFunction() {
// get active spreadsheet
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
// get data from Sheet1
var s = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var cel = s.getRange("A4").getValue();
var data = s.getRange("K4:Q4").getValues();
// get to Sheet2 and get values from column 'B'
var s = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet2");
var col = s.getRange("B1:B").getValues();
// find the row number in columnn B that contain the value
var row = col.flat().findIndex( c => c == cel ) + 1;
// put the 'data' into the cells of this row
if (row) s.getRange("V" + row + ":AB" + row).setValues(data);
}
Updated version:
function onEdit(e) {
if (e.range.getA1Notation() !== "Q6") return;
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var s = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var cel = s.getRange("A4").getValue();
var data = s.getRange("K4:Q4").getValues();
var s = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet2");
var col = s.getRange("B1:B").getValues();
var row = col.findIndex(c => c[0] == cel) + 1;
if (!row) return;
s.getRange("V" + row + ":AB" + row).setValues(data);
var s = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
ss.getRange("A1").clear();
ss.getRange("F5").clear();
}

How to get and set column number based on value in source spreadsheet

Trying to copy a range (L2:L9) to another spreadsheet based on a data validation selection (ID #) in a specific cell (G11) on the source spreadsheet.
The ID#s are all in alphanumeric order on the target spreadsheet along row 5, so all I need is to get the column number that corresponds to the choice made in the data validation field.
Before I had to convert the ID#s to Alphanumeric values, I simply had numeric values and the script worked fine. Now I'm having trouble converting the script to work with this modification.
function Submit() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); // ss = source spreadsheet
var source_sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
if (source_sheet.getName() == "Pre-Season CC") {
var SRange = source_sheet.getRange('L2:L9');
var A1Range = SRange.getA1Notation();
var SData = SRange.getValues();
var target = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1MpKdxFyBrVQT3EumePQvtCZpgzcDW5xlYe4B1DKZCA8');
var target_sheet = target.getSheetByName('Pre-Season');
var idNumber = source_sheet.getRange('Pre-Season CC!G11').getValue();
for (var i = 0; i < idNumber.length; i++) {
for (var j = 0; j < idNumber.length;j++){
if (target_sheet[4][j] == idNumber){
Logger.log((j+1))
return j+1;
target_sheet.getRange('B6:B13').offset(0,valueA1 = ss.getRange('Pre-Season!G11').getValue(idNumber)+1).setValues(SData);
}
}
}
}
At that point, I need the data copied from source spreadsheet onto the target spreadsheet in it's designated column, according to the ID#. Please help!
Try below code.
function Submit() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); // ss = source spreadsheet
var source_sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
if (source_sheet.getName() == 'Pre-Season CC') {
// source sheet items
var SData = source_sheet.getRange('L2:L9').getValues();
var idNumber = source_sheet.getRange('Pre-Season CC!G11').getValue();
// target sheet items
var targetSS = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1MpKdxFyBrVQT3EumePQvtCZpgzcDW5xlYe4B1DKZCA8');
var target_sheet = targetSS.getSheetByName('Pre-Season');
// 5 = row where IDs are
var TData = target_sheet.getRange(5, 1, 1, target_sheet.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0];
// column index of #ID in target sheet
var colIndex = TData.indexOf(idNumber) + 1;
// write data in that column, rows from 6 to 13
target_sheet.getRange(6, colIndex, SData.length, 1).setValues(SData);
}
}

COPYING DATA FROM ONE SPREADSHEET TO ANOTHER

I have three source files - Alpha, Beta, Kappa. They have same headers and basically, I just want them all consolidated in one file on a weekly basis. I started with Kappa and somehow it works - it creates a new spreadsheet and copies info from the Kappa file and paste it to the newly created spreadsheet as values.
Now I tried, adding the Alpha file to the same spreadsheet, just below the info that I copied from the Kappa file using the getLastRow function. I got an error saying that source range and target range must be on the same spreadsheet.
function RawExtractCopy() {
var version = 'ver. 4.01'
var ssnew = SpreadsheetApp.create('V5 Raw Extract '+ version ); //create a spreadsheet
var ssnewsheet = ssnew.getSheetByName('Sheet1'); //get the sheet named Sheet1
ssnewsheet.insertRows(1,30000); //inserting more rows
ssnewsheet.setName('V5 Raw Extract'); //rename the sheet name of the newly created spreadsheet
var ssKappa = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); //opens source file
var targetss = ssnew; //define created ss as the target ss
var srcSheetKappa = ssKappa.getSheetByName('KAPPA'); //get source sheet name
var targetSheet = targetss.getSheetByName('V5 Raw Extract'); //defining target sheet
var srcRangeKappa = srcSheetKappa.getRange("A1:AM30000"); //get source data
var destRangeKappa = targetss.getRange("A1"); //define target
var values = srcRangeKappa.getValues(); //line 18 to 21 is just to match source sheet and target sheet
var bGcolors = srcRangeKappa.getBackgrounds();
var colors = srcRangeKappa.getFontColors();
var fontSizes = srcRangeKappa.getFontSizes();
destRangeKappa.setValues(values);
destRangeKappa.setBackgrounds(bGcolors);
destRangeKappa.setFontColors(colors);
destRangeKappa.setFontSizes(fontSizes);
srcRangeKappa.copyTo(destRangeKappa, {contentsOnly: true});
var ssAlpha = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1gIs4vCdcGG79poDujz9t8Fq7_BWlaEiMrYUH9DTxVHs").activate();
var srcSheetAlpha = ssAlpha.getSheetByName('V5 ALPHA');
var srcRangeAlpha = srcSheetAlpha.getRange("A2:AM30000");
var destRangeAlpha = targetSheet.getRange(targetSheet.getLastRow()+1,1);
var valuesAlpha = srcRangeAlpha.getValues();
var bGcolorsAlpha = srcRangeAlpha.getBackgrounds();
var colorsAlpha = srcRangeAlpha.getFontColors();
var fontSizesAlpha = srcRangeAlpha.getFontSizes();
destRangeAlpha.setValues(values);
destRangeAlpha.setBackgrounds(bGcolors);
destRangeAlpha.setFontColors(colors);
destRangeAlpha.setFontSizes(fontSizes);
srcRangeKappa.copyTo(destRangeAlpha, {contentsOnly: true});
}
The thing, it still copies the data from Kappa but did not push through with Beta. Can someone please be kind to tell what I am missing here?
The OP's goal is to make a duplicate of three sheets in three separate spreadsheets; Alpha, Beta and Kappa. The OP's code works for Kappa, but not Alpha or Beta.
Why does this code work and the OP code doesn't
Well, the OP code does work, but the OP fudges by specifying a fixed range (30000 rows long and about 40 column wide). This works for the first sheet, but not so easily for the second and third sheets. The following code differs in two major respects from the OP code:
the data ranges in Alpha, Beta, Kappa and "Raw Extract" are evaluated using getLastRow and getLastColumn. So the source range and the target range will match each other. In addition, data from the second and third sheets is easily appended one row below the preceding last row.
the copyTo code is changed to copy the whole sheet rather than a range. The reason for this is the the preceding four commands setValues(values), setBackgrounds(bGcolors), setFontColors(colors), and setFontSizes(fontSizes) have already copied the data range to "Raw Extract".

UPDATE - One Small Function
#tehhowch rightly observes that a more appropriate way to manage this process would be one small function called with a few parameters from a driver function. This is something that I had in mind at the time but (for better or worse) I felt that the long-hand approach would enable the OP to better understand how the code varied from their own. However, this variation seeks to fulfil tehhowch's observation. I have left in the Logger statements for the benefit of the OP (which explains the extraordinary length of the code

Google Sheet Script to Insert new row after column C

I am working on a script to automatically add a new row after column C on a daily basis. Below is my script:
function recordHistory() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("test");
var source = sheet.getRange("c4:U4");
var values = source.getValues();
sheet.insertRowBefore(4);
sheet.getRange("c5:U5").setValues(values);
};
Column A in the "test" sheet is a range imported from another sheet. The code above adds a new row then copies the range C-U to row 5.
But I what I want is to add a row from column C only.
however coz the requirement change i just copy over the the whole line with format instead of value
function addFirstRow() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var firstRow = 3;
var sh = ss.getSheetByName("daily");
var lCol = sh.getLastColumn();
var range = sh.getRange("A4:U4");
var formulas = range.getFormulas();
sh.insertRowsAfter(3,1);
newRange = sh.getRange("A4:U4");
newRange.setFormulas(formulas);
}
