Set values in a column on a sheet from a 1d array - google-apps-script

Question

I have a script that gathers Full Names contained within an email group
The idea is to have an up to date list of members of a team to use within a drop down.
It is working correctly but I can't seem to get it to setValues() Everything I have tried, either only lists one name from the list, all values in one cell or doesn't work. I think it's to do with the fact it's a 1 dimensional array but I could be wrong.
Here's what I have so far:
function listGroupMembers() {
var GROUP_EMAIL = "email#email.com";
var group = GroupsApp.getGroupByEmail(GROUP_EMAIL);
var users = group.getUsers();
var str = "Group " + GROUP_EMAIL + " has " + users.length + " members: ";
var valueRange=[];
valueRange[0]=[];
for (var i = 0; i < users.length; i++) {
var user = users[i];
var email = user.getEmail();
var contact = ContactsApp.getContact(email);
if(contact!=null){
valueRange[i]=[];
valueRange[i].push (contact.getFullName());
}
}
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("sheet name");
var numberRows = valueRange.length;
var range = sheet.getRange(1, 1, numberRows, 1);
range.setValues(valueRange);
}
I am struggling with out to get these values, into Column1, Row1, on my sheet like follows in seperate cells:
Name 1
Name 2
Name 3
Name 4
The array is as follows: [Name 1, Name 2, Name 3, Name 5, etc]
Please help, hope this all makes sense!

Answer 1

To output your values into a value range and assign this value range to a row:
Based on the code you provided, perform the following modification:
function listGroupMembers() {
var GROUP_EMAIL = "emailgroup#email.com";
var group = GroupsApp.getGroupByEmail(GROUP_EMAIL);
var users = group.getUsers();
var str = "Group " + GROUP_EMAIL + " has " + users.length + " members: ";
var valueRange=[];
valueRange[0]=[];
for (var i = 0; i < users.length; i++) {
var user = users[i];
var email = user.getEmail();
var contact = ContactsApp.getContact(email);
valueRange[i]=[];
if(contact!=null){
valueRange[i].push (contact.getFullName());
}else{
valueRange[i].push ("");
}
}
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("INSERT HERE THE NAME OF YOUR SHEET");
var numberColumns = valueRange[0].length;
var range = sheet.getRange(1, 1, 1, numberColumns);
range.setValues(valueRange);
}
Explanation:
setValues() expect a 2-D value range, that is a nested array with the dimensions [numberRows][numberColumns]. For a row, it is a 2-D array with the height of 1 and the width corresponding to the number of your values. For a column, it would be exactly the opposite.
push() is a Javascript method useful for populating the array elements of the value range with your values
To insert values vertically (in one column) instead of horizontally - loop through rows instead of columns. Sample:
for (var i = 0; i < users.length; i++) {
var user = users[i];
var email = user.getEmail();
var contact = ContactsApp.getContact(email);
valueRange[i]=[];
if(contact!=null){
valueRange[i].push (contact.getFullName());
}else{
valueRange[i].push ("");
}
}
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("INSERT HERE THE NAME OF YOUR SHEET");
var numberRows = valueRange.length;
var range = sheet.getRange(1, 1, numberRows, 1);
range.setValues(valueRange);
