I have a workbook with multiple sheets in it. I have set it up so that on the main page you can click export next to the sheet name and it exports that sheet to xls. Is there a way to export the sheet and save it as that sheet name rather than the workbook name?
function getSheetUrl() {
var SS = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var ss = SS.getActiveSheet();
var url = 'https://docs.google.com/a/d/spreadsheets/d/Sheet ID/';
url += 'export?format=xlsx&gid=';
url += ss.getSheetId();
return url;
}
In A49 I have:
https://docs.google.com/a/d.net/spreadsheets/d/SHEET ID/export?format=xlsx&gid=
And then in D:D I have the sheet ID's
And this is what generates the URL
=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE($A$49,D32),"Export")
I don't thing that can be done by using the URL since you have to capture the new document and change the name.
What I was able to do is to create a script function that will create a new file with the name of the sheet but it will store it in your Drive with an specified Folder ID, then it will take the id for the new file and it will create a url that will be added to the A1:A1 cell for you to download the new document with the sheet name. After 1 minute the file will be sent to trash.
function getSheetUrl() {
var SS = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var ss = SS.getActiveSheet();
var url = 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/SpreadsheetId/';
url += 'export?format=xlsx&gid=';
url += ss.getSheetId();
var params = {
method: "GET",
headers: {
"authorization": "Bearer " + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()
}
};
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params).getBlob().setName(ss.getSheetName()).copyBlob();
var dir = DriveApp.getFolderById("FolderId");
var file = dir.createFile(response);
var id = file.getId();
ss.getRange("A1:A1").setValue("https://docs.google.com/uc?id=" + id + "&export=download");
Utilities.sleep(60000);
DriveApp.getFileById(id).setTrashed(true);
}
I am not a master in Apps Script but is the way I was able to make it work. I hope this helps, if you don't want the file to be sent to trash just delete the 2 lines from utilities and the setTrashed one. You can keep the documents to delete them later also from Trash to avoid using your Drive Space, I was not able to find a method that deletes the file permanently just the removeFile() but this just remove the file from the Drive and apparently it will still use Drive space.
Greetings.

I'm not sure if this is even possible. I'm trying to fetch file that being uploaded to formfacade server via the add-on in google form. I'm using it to allow other non-gmail users to upload file without having to sign-in.
I referred to answer from Mogsdad and dheeraj raj in
Can I download file from URL link generated by google apps script to use UrlFetchApp to meet this objective. Below are my codes:
Method 1 :
function UrlFile2gdrive() {
var sheet=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var lrow=sheet.getLastRow();
//var fileURL=sheet.getRange(lrow,2).getValue();
var fileURL='https://formfacade.com/uploaded/1FAIpQLSfscYq_sbYcT2P3Sj3AvSD2zYKalIM0SKdPTESf1wE9Rq8qew/'
+'97dc1ee0-f212-11ea-95c3-bdb6c5ab13b3/2124651919/A%20Sample%20PDF.pdf'
var params = {method:"GET",headers:{"authorization":"Bearer "+ ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()}};
var response=UrlFetchApp.fetch(fileURL,params);
Logger.log(response.getContentText());
var fileBlob=response.getBlob();
var folder='0B2b-M7h6xF-Mflk3dGswano2TnJ3dGlmZG8wOUREMFg4blM5SHBuM3lqYmdPOThZSTBTSWs'
var filename=fileURL.split("/").pop();
//var filename=fileURL.split("%2F").pop();
var file=decodeURIComponent(filename);
Logger.log("filename : "+file);
var newfile=DriveApp.getFolderById(folder).createFile(fileBlob.setName(file));
//var newfile=DriveApp.getFolderById(folder).createFile(response.setName(filename));
}
Method 2
//api-key : AIzaSyCcbdBCI-Kgcz3tE1N4paeF9a-vdi3Uzz8
//Declare function
function URL2gdriveWithPswd() {
//Getting url,existing name and new name for image from the sheet in
//variable url, name and new_name respectively
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var row = sh.getLastRow();
Logger.log(row);
//for (var i = 2; i <= row; i++) {
/*var url = sh.getRange(i, 2).getValue();
Logger.log(url);
var name = sh.getRange(i, 3).getValue();
var new_name = sh.getRange(i, 4).getValue();*/
var url = sh.getRange(row, 2).getValue();
Logger.log(url);
var filenm=url.split("/").pop();
var new_name=decodeURIComponent(filenm);
var name = sh.getRange(row, 3).getValue();
//var new_name = sh.getRange(row, 4).getValue();
//Creating authentication token for downloading image, it may not be //required if image can be downloaded without login into
var user = "dtestsys#gmail.com";
var password = "1851235656";
var headers = {
"Accept": "application/xml",
"Content-Type": "application/xml",
"Authorization": "Basic " + Utilities.base64Encode(user + ":" + password)
};
//defining method to download file
var options = {
"method": "get",
"headers": headers
};
//Getting folder name where to store downloaded image
var folders = DriveApp.getFoldersByName('File Uploader (File responses)');
while (folders.hasNext()) {
var folder = folders.next();
Logger.log(folder.getName());
}
//Getting response on hit of url using downloading method defined //earlier storing in Blob
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options).getBlob();
//Creating image in folder defined with response in blob and logging same file //in log to check, if required
var file = folder.createFile(response);
Logger.log(file);
//renaming image
var images = folder.getFiles();
while (images.hasNext()) {
var image = images.next();
file.setName(new_name);
Logger.log("imagename : "+image.getName());
}
//}
}
However, both methods managed to get a file into my gdrive but the content consists of the html codes only (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NYQoMmCQEoP3z6L8niq1mpvIx7xl83zu/view?usp=sharing), which I think the URL passed in google response sheet is just a "mask". I noticed that inside the file has some lines that mentioned api-key and code (next to user email address). Is it possible to achieve my objective? Are those api-key and code would be useful to get authorized to access the file and download it in gdrive?
I rechecked.The link produced and passed into my google sheet response is only the login page that redirects to another XML file. When I copied back the final URL after the original file content is displayed, the URL is as below:
https://storage.googleapis.com/formfacade-public/1FAIpQLSfscYq_sbYcT2P3Sj3AvSD2zYKalIM0SKdPTESf1wE9Rq8qew%2F97dc1ee0-f212-11ea-95c3-bdb6c5ab13b3%2F2124651919%2FA%20Sample%20PDF.pdf?GoogleAccessId=firebase-adminsdk-pve0p%40formfacade.iam.gserviceaccount.com&Expires=1599671507&Signature=fBzWej0fEgF6Aw7oCHX%2FTTUfHbcep%2Bj%2B%2FhB3fYFUDeq0SFTuyJ6jTnLWQJmldD6XkVug0%2BNki7ZPNo2ESufvIfQjhVLKXgvp7UiQheJ4GYL%2BtXgFLaUyglgemmfp7KSvIvPxpMcpC2lR8em3E5YIvMRr9tcfzagvusQYHEb9mlD7k833bVoqFUVWuP%2FkP8tl%2BHYVL15kSXAjtFif4QZpu%2FFHwSik89Keo78LKTm0U8hZiAMeYDQZWF6w1pcKpy04md3xKtDPwZYCoUWOOtKkCI6JLskE5HweDvMCGnDbxW8o6SWD%2BIC%2FlaNC6%2BJ81OB10cuRqwQPEc9LnfgCZK7b1A%3D%3D
When I pasted the above link, I got to see as per screenshot below:-
. So, I'm guessing they don't share direct access link to the uploaded file so that we are left with the option to buy/subscribe the paid version.
Would anyone knows if there's any better altrnative(s) I could use to achieve this objective? Like maybe a link with API-key just like what I learnt from #Tanaike in his previous answer on Convert-API to convert pdf file to PNG? Of course it has some limits for the free version but it still is a very helpful solution.
You are not assigning content-type of the blob anywhere. But if you do the naming right it would not matter. In method 1 you are trying to set a name on the blob when you should be setting it on the file created from the Blob.
Try setting the name on the file after creating it.
Example:
function myFunction() {
var url ="http://www.africau.edu/images/default/sample.pdf";
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
console.log(response.getResponseCode());
var blob=response.getAs('application/pdf');
var folder = "<SOME-FOLDER-ID>";
var fileName=decodeURIComponent(url.split("/").pop());
console.log("File named : "+fileName);
var file=DriveApp.getFolderById(folder).createFile(blob);
// Set the name to the created file after creating it!
file.setName(fileName);
}
For reference see class File.
In MIT Inventor II, I use web component to get SpreadsheetID and SheetID through doGet() of google apps script. After I get the information I use another web component to set url as below to get csv-formatted file from specific sheet. My question is how to make GAS to get SpreadsheetID & SheetID and then export csv file at one time, so that I don't have to use 2 web components in Inventor side?
GAS codes is as below. This is to "return" spreadsheetID and sheetID.
function doGet(e) {
filename = e.parameter.account;
fileList = DriveApp.getFilesByName(filename);
while (fileList.hasNext()) {
var fileID = fileList.next().getId()
}
var file = SpreadsheetApp.openById(fileID) ;
sheet = file.getSheetByName("Message").activate()
var messageID = sheet.getSheetId();
return ContentService.createTextOutput([fileID,messageID]);
After I got SpreadsheetID & SheetID, I have to set 2nd web component from Inventor side to get csv file, see below.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/xxxxSpreadsheetIDxxxx/edit#gid=sheetID
Here is how you can create a csv file of a selected sheet in google drive:
function sheetToCsv()
{
var ssID = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId();
var sheet_Name = "Sheet1"
var requestData = {"method": "GET", "headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer "+ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()}};
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(sheet_Name)
var sheetNameId = sheet.getSheetId().toString();
params= ssID+"/export?gid="+sheetNameId +"&format=csv"
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/"+ params
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, requestData);
var resource = {
title: sheet_Name+".csv",
mimeType: "application/vnd.csv"
}
var fileJson = Drive.Files.insert(resource,result)
}
The code creates a csv file that has the content of Sheet1.
In order to run the aforementioned function you need to activate the Advanced Drive Service.
Explanation:
Go to Resources => Advanced Google Services => activate Drive API
Another option is to create the csv file to a particular folder, then you need to replace the resource part of the code with this:
var folder_id ='id';
var resource = {
title: sheet_Name+".csv",
mimeType: "application/vnd.csv",
parents: [{ id: folder_id }]
}
My application was how to save a tab of a Google sheets spreadsheet to a CSV file in a shared drive. Doing it to the default "My Drive" was relatively easy based on Marios' answer in this post, but I struggled with this for a shared drive while until I came across ziganotschka's example which solved my problem.
Code for my simple App Script is:
function sheetToCsv()
{
var ssID = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId();
var sheet_Name = "[Your sheet name goes here]";
var requestData = {"method": "GET", "headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer "+ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()}};
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(sheet_Name);
var sheetNameId = sheet.getSheetId().toString();
params= ssID+"/export?gid="+sheetNameId +"&format=csv";
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/"+ params;
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, requestData);
var resource = {
title: sheet_Name+".csv",
mimeType: "MimeType.CSV",
parents:[{
"id": "[Your Shared Drive Folder ID goes here]"
}]
}
var optionalArgs={supportsAllDrives: true};
var fileJson = Drive.Files.insert(resource, result, optionalArgs);
}
I added a timestamp to the file name and a trigger to cause the script to execute daily via a timer.
need some help and hope you can help me :)
I have a google spreadsheet document and need to do some actions per script:
Sheet: "Sheet1"
Range: "A1:J39"
print out with settings (landscape, perfect width)
save as PDF document in a folder in a shared google drive (same settings like no 1)
send PDF file per mail to adresses which listed in an other sheet
hope you can help me with this problem....
thx
I'm giving below code I use to send a full sheet as PDF.
You can modify it slightly to
1.Hide unwanted rows and columns
2.Include PDF export options
function send_sheet(){
var today=new Date();
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var ltrsht = ss.getSheetByName("Letter");
var sheets=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets();
for(var i =0;i<sheets.length;i++){
if(sheets[i].getName()!="Letter"){ sheets[i].hideSheet() }
}
var pdf = DriveApp.getFileById(ss.getId());
var theBlob = pdf.getBlob().getAs('application/pdf').setName(ltrsht.getRange("C16").getValue()+".pdf");
var folderID = ""; // Folder id to save in a folder
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID);
var newFile = folder.createFile(theBlob);
var body = 'Dear ' + ltrsht.getRange("C16").getValue() +',\n\nPL. find your ' + ltrsht.getRange("C11").getValue() +' enclosed.\n\nHRD Megawin Switchgear';
GmailApp.sendEmail(ltrsht.getRange("E17").getValue(), ltrsht.getRange("C11").getValue() + " from Megawin HRD", body, {attachments: [theBlob]});
var empsht = ss.getSheetByName("Emp");
empsht.showSheet();
ltrsht.hideSheet();
}
First you have to hide all sheets other than the target sheet
Hide unwanted rows and columns
Convert to PDF
Save in folder
Send to email id which is stored some cell
See below how to format the PDF
https://support.google.com/docs/thread/3457043?hl=en
I have an application made on google than handdle different sheets on a google workbook. I need to add a button to allow users download some of these sheets but in an excel format if is possible. I took one code from StackOv and try to modify it, as i don´t want it name the file and save it in drive, i only need it download as same that when from excel it is download in Book1 ("libro1") without saving anywhere. THK!
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("fffffffffffffffffffffffffffff...myID");
var sheetId = ss.ss.getSheetByName('nameSheetNeedToDownload');
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/" + sheetId + "/export?format=xlsx&access_token=" + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
var blob = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getBlob().setName(name + ".xlsx");
createFile(blob); // here need to create but without saving
THK you Tanaike!...Yes here i copy the code i have
function downloadAsXlsx() {
var bogus = DriveApp.getRootFolder();
var spreadSheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById('WorkbookID');
var ssID = spreadSheet.getSheetByName('SheetName');
Logger.log(ssID);
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/"+ssID+"/export?format=xlsx";
var params = {method:"GET", headers:{"authorization":"Bearer "+
ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()}};
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params);
// save to drive
DriveApp.createFile(response);
}
I'm trying to make a google script for exporting (or printing) a new version of google spreadsheet (or sheet) to pdf, with page parameters (portrait/landscape, ...)
I've researched about this and found a possible solution here.
There are several similar solutions like this, but only work with old version of google spreadsheet.
Please, consider this code:
function exportAsPDF() {
//This code runs from a NEW version of spreadsheet
var oauthConfig = UrlFetchApp.addOAuthService("google");
oauthConfig.setAccessTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken");
oauthConfig.setRequestTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken?scope=https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/");
oauthConfig.setAuthorizationUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken");
oauthConfig.setConsumerKey("anonymous"); oauthConfig.setConsumerSecret("anonymous");
var requestData = { "method": "GET", "oAuthServiceName": "google","oAuthUseToken": "always" };
var ssID1="0AhKhywpH-YlQdDhXZFNCRFROZ3NqWkhBWHhYTVhtQnc"; //ID of an Old version of spreadsheet
var ssID2="10xZX9Yz95AUAPu92BkBTtO0fhVk9dz5LxUmJQsJ7yPM"; //ID of a NEW version of spreadsheet
var ss1 = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ssID1); //Old version ss object
var ss2 = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ssID2); //New version ss object
var sID1=ss1.getActiveSheet().getSheetId().toString(); // old version sheet id
var sID2=ss2.getActiveSheet().getSheetId().toString(); // new version sheet id
//For Old version, this runs ok.
var url1 = "https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/Export?key="+ssID1+"&gid="+sID1+"&portrait=true"+"&exportFormat=pdf";
var result1 = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url1 , requestData);
var contents1=result1.getBlob();
var pdfFile1=DriveApp.createFile(contents1).setName("FILE1.pdf");
//////////////////////////////////////////////
var url2 = "https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/Export?key="+ssID2+"&gid="+sID2+"&portrait=true"+"&exportFormat=pdf";
var result2 = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url2 , requestData);
var contents2=result2.getBlob();
var pdfFile2=DriveApp.createFile(contents2).setName("FILE2.pdf");
}
It works right and generates the file “FILE1.pdf”, that can be opened correctly. But for the new version of spreadsheet, it results in error 302 (truncated server response) at “var result2 = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url2 , requestData);”. Well, it’s ok because the url format for the new version doesn’t include the “key” argument. A correct url for new versions must be like "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/"+ssID2+"/export?gid="+sID2+"&portrait=true&format=pdf"
Using this for url2 (var url2 = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/"+ssID2+"/export?gid="+sID2+"&portrait=true&format=pdf") it fails again with error “Authorization can’t be performed for service: google”.
Well, this error could be due to an incorrect scope for the RequestTokenUrl. I’ve found the alternative scope https://docs.google.com/feeds and set it: oauthConfig.setRequestTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken?scope=https://docs.google.com/feed/");
After the code runs again, a new error happens at the line with UrlFetchApp.fetch(url2 , requestData);: “Error OAuth” … I don’t know how to continue … I’ve tested hundreds of variations without good results.
Any ideas? is correct the scope docs.google.com/feeds for new version of spreadsheets? is correct the oauthConfig?
Thanks in advance.
Here is my spreadsheet-to-pdf script. It works with the new Google Spreadsheet API.
// Convert spreadsheet to PDF file.
function spreadsheetToPDF(id,index,url,name)
{
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
//define usefull vars
var oauthConfig = UrlFetchApp.addOAuthService("google");
var scope = "https://docs.google.com/feeds/";
//make OAuth connection
oauthConfig.setAccessTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken");
oauthConfig.setRequestTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken?scope="+scope);
oauthConfig.setAuthorizationUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken");
oauthConfig.setConsumerKey("anonymous");
oauthConfig.setConsumerSecret("anonymous");
//get request
var request = {
"method": "GET",
"oAuthServiceName": "google",
"oAuthUseToken": "always",
"muteHttpExceptions": true
};
//define the params URL to fetch
var params = '?gid='+index+'&fitw=true&exportFormat=pdf&format=pdf&size=A4&portrait=true&sheetnames=false&printtitle=false&gridlines=false';
//fetching file url
var blob = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://docs.google.com/a/"+url+"/spreadsheets/d/"+id+"/export"+params, request);
blob = blob.getBlob().setName(name);
//return file
return blob;
}
I've had to use the "muteHttpExceptions" parameter to know exactly the new URL. With this parameter, I downloaded my file with the HTML extension to get a "Moved permanently" page with my final url ("https://docs.google.com/a/"+url+"/spreadsheets/d/"+id+"/export"+params").
And note that I am in an organization. So I've had to specify its domain name ("url" parameter, ie "mydomain.com").
(Copied from this answer.)
This function is an adaptation of a script provided by "ianshedd..." here.
It:
Generates PDFs of ALL sheets in a spreadsheet, and stores them in the same folder containing the spreadsheet. (It assumes there's just one folder doing that, although Drive does allow multiple containment.)
Names pdf files with Spreadsheet & Sheet names.
Uses the Drive service (DocsList is deprecated.)
Can use an optional Spreadsheet ID to operate on any sheet. By default, it expects to work on the "active spreadsheet" containing the script.
Needs only "normal" authorization to operate; no need to activate advanced services or fiddle with oAuthConfig.
With a bit of research and effort, you could hook up to an online PDF Merge API, to generate a single PDF file. Barring that, and until Google provides a way to export all sheets in one PDF, you're stuck with separate files.
Script:
/**
* Export one or all sheets in a spreadsheet as PDF files on user's Google Drive,
* in same folder that contained original spreadsheet.
*
* Adapted from https://code.google.com/p/google-apps-script-issues/issues/detail?id=3579#c25
*
* #param {String} optSSId (optional) ID of spreadsheet to export.
* If not provided, script assumes it is
* sheet-bound and opens the active spreadsheet.
* #param {String} optSheetId (optional) ID of single sheet to export.
* If not provided, all sheets will export.
*/
function savePDFs( optSSId, optSheetId ) {
// If a sheet ID was provided, open that sheet, otherwise assume script is
// sheet-bound, and open the active spreadsheet.
var ss = (optSSId) ? SpreadsheetApp.openById(optSSId) : SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
// Get URL of spreadsheet, and remove the trailing 'edit'
var url = ss.getUrl().replace(/edit$/,'');
// Get folder containing spreadsheet, for later export
var parents = DriveApp.getFileById(ss.getId()).getParents();
if (parents.hasNext()) {
var folder = parents.next();
}
else {
folder = DriveApp.getRootFolder();
}
// Get array of all sheets in spreadsheet
var sheets = ss.getSheets();
// Loop through all sheets, generating PDF files.
for (var i=0; i<sheets.length; i++) {
var sheet = sheets[i];
// If provided a optSheetId, only save it.
if (optSheetId && optSheetId !== sheet.getSheetId()) continue;
//additional parameters for exporting the sheet as a pdf
var url_ext = 'export?exportFormat=pdf&format=pdf' //export as pdf

+ '&sheetnames=false&printtitle=false&pagenumbers=false' //hide optional headers and footers
+ '&gridlines=false' // hide gridlines

var options = {
headers: {

}
}
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url + url_ext, options);
var blob = response.getBlob().setName(ss.getName() + ' - ' + sheet.getName() + '.pdf');
//from here you should be able to use and manipulate the blob to send and email or create a file per usual.
//In this example, I save the pdf to drive
folder.createFile(blob);
}
}
Thank you!
Variant 2 works with me with options:
var requestData = {
"oAuthServiceName": "spreadsheets",
"oAuthUseToken": "always"
};
Then:
var ssID = ss.getId();
var sID = ss.getSheetByName(name).getSheetId();
//creating pdf
var pdf = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/" + ssID + "/export?gid=" + sID + "&portrait=false&size=A4&format=pdf", requestData).getBlob();
//folder to created pdf in
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(id);
//creating pdf in this folder with given name
folder.createFile(pdf).setName(name);
I can change image size, orientation etc. with listed parameters perfectly.
