append columns in google script - google-apps-script

Question

I have been able to append a new row of data from an imported and live updating postgres import on google sheets. My requirement is to get the data to append in a new column, next to the one previous.
// function to save data
function saveData() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var count = sheet.getRange('Sheet1!A3').getValue();
var date = sheet.getRange('Sheet1!B3').getValue();
sheet.insertColumnAfter(sheet.getMaxColumns());
sheet.getRange(1,sheet.getLastColumn(),2).setValues([count,date]);
}
Im getting the error of not being able to turn an object into an array - any help?

Answer 1

function append() {
var tabLists = "append"; //my sheet is named as "append"
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(tabLists);
sheet.clear()
var date = new Date('October 11, 2018 09:15:00')
var sr = 4
var sft = 1
var sc = 1
var nr = 1
var nc = 1
for(var i=0; i<5;i++){ //I'm appendind 5 columns for now.
sheet.getRange(sr,sc,nr,nc)//(start row, start column, number of rows, number of
columns)
.setValues([[
date
]]);
sc = sc + 1
}
}
