Hi everyone was wondering how do i insert a formula into the newly created row
this script inserts 10 new row and i would like to instert a formula in the 10 new created row in the column E
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var target = ss.getSheetByName('Data Entry');
target.insertRowsAfter(target.getMaxRows(), 10)
what would i need to insert this formula in those newly created rows
=If(len(D3:D),vlookup(D3:D,'Configuration List'!A2:B,2,0),"")
You want to add rows to the last row, and put the formulas to column E in the created rows. You want to modify "D3:D" of the formulas. If my understanding is correct, how about these 2 solutions? I think that there are several solutions for your situation. So please think of this as two of them.
Pattern 1 :
In this script, it creates 2 dimensional array including the formulas. And put them to column E of the created rows using setFormulas().
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var target = ss.getSheetByName('Data Entry');
var maxRow = target.getMaxRows();
var r = target.insertRowsAfter(maxRow, 10);
var formulas = [];
for (var i = 1; i < maxRow; i++) {
formulas.push(["=If(len(D" + (maxRow + i) + ":D),vlookup(D" + (maxRow + i) + ":D,'Configuration List'!A2:B,2,0),\"\")"]);
}
target.getRange(maxRow + 1, 5, 10, 1).setFormulas(formulas);
Pattern 2 :
In this script, it creates a formula. And put it to column E of the created rows using setFormula().
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var target = ss.getSheetByName('Data Entry');
var maxRow = target.getMaxRows();
var r = target.insertRowsAfter(maxRow, 10);
var formula = "=If(len(D" + (maxRow + 1) + ":D),vlookup(D" + (maxRow + 1) + ":D,'Configuration List'!$A$2:B,2,0),\"\")";
target.getRange(maxRow + 1, 5, 10, 1).setFormula(formula);
Note :
Please select one of them for your situation.

If I misunderstand your question, please tell me. I would like to modify it.

I'm trying to make a google sheet script that adds a row based on cell value, basically if I have in the Quantity (Column D) 7x laptops, I want the script to add 6 additional rows below if Column H is marked as "Yes" through data validation.
What I was able to find and to do is only duplicate that row but is without data validation and I would prefer to add the data validation and possible make each quantity split to 1 (instead of 7) after the duplication.
`function autoDup() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var newData = [];
for(var n in data){
newData.push(data[n]);
if(!Number(data[n][3])){continue};// if column 3 is not a number then do nothing
for(var c=1 ; c < Number(data[n][3]) ; c++){ // start from 1 instead of 0 because we have already 1 copy
newData.push(data[n]);//store values
}
}
sheet.getRange(1,1,newData.length,newData[0].length).setValues(newData).sort({column: 1, ascending: false});// write new data to sheet, overwriting old data
}`
Hope someone is able to help me.
Thank you,
Column D contains a qty and goods description. If Column H = "Yes", you want to insert a number of rows below Col D equal to the qty minus one. If Column H <> "Yes, then take no action.
Sample data - Before
Sample data - After
function so5925663201() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheetname = "59256632";
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(sheetname);
var row = 7;
// get value of Column H
var colHValue = sheet.getRange(row,8).getValue();
if (colHValue === "Yes"){
//Logger.log("DEBUG: Col H = yes. do something")
// get value of Column D
var Value = sheet.getRange(row,4).getValue();
var searchterm = "x";
var indexOfFirst = Value.indexOf(searchterm);
//Logger.log("DEBUG: the first instance of 'x' is "+indexOfFirst);
// get the quantity and convert from a string to a number
var qty = Value.substring(0, indexOfFirst);
var qtynum = +qty;
// var newtype = typeof qtynum; // DEBUG
//Logger.log("DEBUG: the quantity is "+qtynum+", new type = "+newtype)
// This inserts rows after
sheet.insertRowsAfter(row, qtynum-1);
}
else{
//Logger.log("DEBUG: col H <> Yes. do nothing");
}
}
I am writing code in which a user can automatically generate a template of lesson and sub-topics. Each lesson will have 10 sub-topics.
I also need to group the rows lesson-wise and topic-wise.
But, I am unable to group the rows lesson-wise and topic-wise. Tried using the macro-recorder, but the code does not work while generating multiple lessons.
EDIT: Working code is updated below.
function shiftrowgroupdepth() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheet = spreadsheet.getActiveSheet();
// start from row 6 and column 2
var row = 6;
var col = 2;
//Ask user for the no. of lessons
var shlen = Browser.inputBox("Enter no of lessons", Browser.Buttons.OK_CANCEL);
for (var i = 1; i <= shlen; i++) {
sheet.getRange(row,col).setValue("Lesson " + i);
row++;
Logger.log(spreadsheet.getCurrentCell().getRow())
sheet.getRange(row, 1, 70, sheet.getMaxColumns()).activate()
.shiftRowGroupDepth(1);
// Add sub-topics (1.1, 1.2 ....)
for (var j=1;j<=10;j++){
sheet.getRange(row,col).setValue(i+"."+j);
sheet.getRange(row+1, 1, 6, sheet.getMaxColumns()).activate()
.shiftRowGroupDepth(1);
row=row+7;
}
}
};
The OP code was very close to the mark. The main changes in this answer are:
When using a 'dot' separator for the topic codes, Google sheets treats the resulting value as a number; this creates problems displaying '1.10'. I changed the separator to a 'dash'. No doubt there is another potential approach using toString - but this was quick and easy.
The Lesson grouping is straightforward; 10 topics, 7 rows per topic = 70 rows.
Topic grouping had been complicated by referring to the location of the "current cell" - which could be anywhere on the sheet. I simplified this by using the row variable, which the OP had already (correctly) incremented.
function so5774532602() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheetname = "OPSheet";
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(sheetname);
var row = 6;
var col = 2;
//Ask user for the no. of lessons
var shlen = Browser.inputBox("Enter no of lessons", Browser.Buttons
.OK_CANCEL);
for (var i = 1; i <= shlen; i++) {
sheet.getRange(row, col).setValue("Lesson " + i);
// add grouping
// Logger.log("DEBUG: i = "+i+", lesson range = "+sheet.getRange(+(row + 1), 2, 70, 1).getA1Notation());
sheet.getRange(+(row + 1), 2, 70, 1).activate()
.shiftRowGroupDepth(1);
row++;
// Add sub-topics (1.1, 1.2 ....) leave 6 blank rows below each sub-topic. Then, group those blank rows
for (var j = 1; j <= 10; j++) {
// Logger.log("DEBUG: i = "+i+", j = "+j+", row = "+row+", col = "+col); // new
sheet.getRange(row, col).setValue(i + "-" + j);
// add grouping
// Logger.log("DEBUG: range details: row = "+(row + 1) +",column = 1"+"number of rows = "+6+", number of columns = 1");
// Logger.log("DEBUG: topic range = "+sheet.getRange(+(row + 1), 2, 6, 1).getA1Notation());
sheet.getRange(+(row + 1), 2, 6, 1).activate()
.shiftRowGroupDepth(1);
row = row + 7;
}
}
}
Edit
Two minor changes for formatting
sheet.getRange(row,col).setValue("Lesson " + i).setHorizontalAlignment("center");
Centres the Lesson Number in the column.
sheet.getRange(row,col).setNumberFormat("#").setValue(i+"."+j).setHorizontalAlignment("center");
A return to a 'dot' separator but enables the tenth topic to display as 1.10, etc (credit #Tanaike). Will also center the text in the column.
Background
I have some code which is supposed to copy certain rows from Sheet B into Sheet A based on integer values in cells E1,J1 and I1. E1 has date format. After rows are copied from Sheet B to A, I need to fill column 12 (Column L) with the date from E1 to newly added rows.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15pTVfcoxM2wQTMC-3iLzXVXIEEaZFYXaOf97amy4yRg/edit?usp=sharing
Problem
The last three rows of code is not working well. Even though I am trying to select range for same column 12 (column L), it seems to select multiple columns and an additional 2 rows than what I had expected.
function test() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("B");
var aa = sheet.getRange("E1");
var Date = aa.getValue();
var aa = sheet.getRange("J1");
var lastrow = aa.getValue();
var aa = sheet.getRange("I1");
var lastrowV = aa.getValue();
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("A");
var range = sheet.getRange(2, 1, lastrowV, 11);
var data = range.getValues();
sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("B");
sheet.getRange(lastrow, 1, data.length, 11).setValues(data); /* cell J1 gets updated after this*/
var aa = sheet.getRange("J1");
var lastrowN = aa.getValue() - 1;
range = sheet.getRange(lastrow, 12, lastrowN, 12);
range.activate();
sheet.getRange(lastrow, 12, lastrowN, 12).setValues(Date);
}
Background
The OP is attempting to insert a given date in the cell at the end of a row. However, the OP's definition of the range is faulty because it is selecting multiple columns (when only one column is required) and the number of rows is greater (by 2 (two)) than the number required. In addition, regardless of the range height, the OP is attempting to set a single value (rather than an array) into the range.
Problems
1) The definition of the datecolumn (Column L) included a value for the number of columns (probably a carry over from having defined the data range earlier).
Old range: getRange(lastrow,12, lastrowN, 12);. Delete the last parameter (number of columns) and the code behaves.
2) The code used this method setValues(Date) to populate the date column (8 rows in the OP's example data). the problem here is that the value assigned is the single value Date. not an array. This was addressed by creating and populating a temporary array datearray, and using this to update values in the date column.
3) In addition to the problems noted, the OP code is problematic in that a number of variables names were re-used with entirely different contexts (including "sheet" and "aa"), and some variables were declared multiple times. This made the code hard to read and debug. I took the opportunity to resolve as many of these as possible.
function so5473808801() {
// setup spreadsheet and sheets
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheetB = ss.getSheetByName("B");
var sheetA = ss.getSheetByName("A");
// define key variables
// date
var daterange = sheetB.getRange("E1");
var datevalue = daterange.getValue();
// rows on SheetA
var Arows = sheetB.getRange("I1"); // = 9
var Alastrow = Arows.getValue();
// rows on sheet B
var Brows = sheetB.getRange("J1"); // = 3
var Blastrow = Brows.getValue();
// define the data range on Sheet A
var Adatarange = sheetA.getRange(2, 1, Alastrow, 11);
// Logger.log("DEBUG: The defined range on Sheet A is "+Adatarange.getA1Notation());//DEBUG
var Adatavals = Adatarange.getValues();
// define a target range on Sheet B and set values from A
var targetrange = sheetB.getRange(Blastrow, 1, Adatavals.length, 11);
// Logger.log("DEBUG: The target on sheetB = "+targetrange.getA1Notation()); // DEBUG
targetrange.setValues(Adatavals);
// set a range to update date on Sheet B
var daterows = (Alastrow - 1); // doesn't take 2 row header on B intoi account
var Bdaterange = sheetB.getRange(Blastrow, 12, daterows);
// Logger.log("DEBUG: The date range on sheet B = "+Bdaterange.getA1Notation());
// create an array to store multiple copies of datevalue
var datearray = [];
//populate the array
for (var i = 0; i < daterows; i++) {
datearray.push([datevalue]);
}
// set the date into Column L
Bdaterange.setValues(datearray);
}

//get the header added to the array
mergedValues.push(sheet.getRange("A2:I2").getValues());
Logger.log(mergedValues);
var mergedRanges = range.getMergedRanges();
for (var i = 0; i < mergedRanges.length; i++) {
var calcA1Notation = "A"+(i+3) + ":C"+(i+3);
var monA1Notation = "D"+(i+3) + ":F"+(i+3);
//Load the Transpose values into the array
mergedValues.push([[
sheet.getRange(calcA1Notation).getValues().toString(),
mergedRanges[i].getDisplayValue(),
sheet.getRange(monA1Notation).getValues().toString()
]]);
}
Logger.log(mergedValues[0].length);
for (var i = 0; i < mergedValues.length; i++){
//Writes to the lastrow+1 of the sheet
sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow()+1, 1).setValue(mergedValues[i]);
}
}
Can you guys help me in modifying google script to generate the expected result?
The question includes the term "Transpose", but this is misleading.
The goal of the questioner is straight-forward; to copy cells from one sheet to another. With one proviso, to include a column header from one sheet as a cell in the target range.
The questioner demonstrated code though they did not explain to what extent this was purposeful. The code takes three columns of data and concatenates the values into a single cell. At best, one might regard this as an early draft.
The referencing of the source data is uncomplicated; getting the month name is the main complication. I used two loops to work through the rows on the Source sheet because the questioner's intended outcome was that the data should sort by month.
I could have built a routine to convert the month string value to a numeric value, then sorted on that value (I certainly thought about it) - but I didn't;)
The Month names are in UPPERCASE, the questioner's outcome uses TitleCase. Again, I could have built a routine to convert the case, and I did spend some time trying. But in the end I decided that it was not a high priority.

This screenshot shows the Source sheet ("Input").
These screenshots show the Target sheet ("Output") before and after running the code.
UPDATE
As noted in my comments, the earlier draft lacked two things:
1) it was inefficient and followed poor practices because it wrote the value of each field as it was created. The more appropriate approach would have been to write the data to an array, and then copy the array to the target range when the row-by-row processing was complete.
2) the code consisted of two loops to cater for the 2 months in the demonstration data. However, this is an impractical outcome since it is probable that there will be, in reality, any number of months' data in each row. Again, poor practice, when a more appropriate approach was to assume any number of month's data. The more efficient approach would have been to build an array of data while looping through each row.
This revision overcomes both drawbacks.
In addition, since month names do not sort in any meaningful sequence, I added a numeric month id that can be used for filtering and sorting in the output data sheet.

The code below is from an answer from this post regarding copying row values to a new sheet if it exist in another sheets.
Now, what if instead of copying the duplicate values to sheet 3, I want to delete them from sheets 1 and 2 if it exists in Sheet 3. With the same spreadsheet, I have 3 sheets. The unique value that will be compared on the first 2 sheets is the first column, "ID NUMBER".
Given the values, 784 | John Steep | I.T Department, which exists in all 3 sheets, the same row value should be deleted in Sheet 1 and 2 and retain the same value on Sheet 3.
function copyRowtoSheet3() {
var s1 = SpreadsheetApp.openById("ID").getSheetByName('Sheet1');
var s2 = SpreadsheetApp.openById("ID").getSheetByName('Sheet2');
var s3 = SpreadsheetApp.openById("ID").getSheetByName('Sheet3');
var values1 = s1.getDataRange().getValues();
var values2 = s2.getDataRange().getValues();
var resultArray = [];
for(var n=0; n < values1.length ; n++){
var keep = false;
for(var p=0; p < values2.length ; p++){
Logger.log(values1[n][0]+' =? '+values2[p][0]);
if( values1[n][0] == values2[p][0] && values1[n][3] == values2[p][4]){
resultArray.push(values1[n]);
Logger.log('true');
break ;// remove this if values are not unique and you want to keep all occurrences...
}
}
}
s3.getRange(+1,1,resultArray.length,resultArray[0].length).setValues(resultArray);
}
Can't seem to find the right solution. Tried several scripts but failed to make it work.
Thank you for any advice/suggestion.
Although the other answer works (I didn't test but I guess it does) it uses a lot of spreadsheetApp calls and might be slow if you have a lot of data.
It is possible to get this result using only arrays (if you don't need to keep sheet formatting and/or formulas).
The approach is slightly different as it is easier to keep data instead of removing it.
There are for sure many possible solutions, below is the one I tried : I created a special array that contains only the first column of sheet3 to make the duplicate search simpler.
function removeDupsInOtherSheets() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var s1 = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1").getDataRange().getValues();
var s2 = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet2").getDataRange().getValues();
var s3 = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet3").getDataRange().getValues();
// iterate s3 and check in s1 & s2 if duplicate values exist
var nS1 = [];
var nS2 = [];
var s3Col1 = [];// data in column1 of sheet3
for(var n in s3){
s3Col1.push(s3[n][0]);
}
for(var n in s1){ // iterate sheet1 and test col 1 vs col 1 in sheet3
var noDup1 = checkForDup(s1[n],s3Col1)
if(noDup1){nS1.push(noDup1)};// if not present in sheet3 then keep
}
for(var n in s2){ // iterate sheet2 and test col 1 vs col 1 in sheet3
var noDup2 = checkForDup(s2[n],s3Col1)
if(noDup2){nS2.push(noDup2)};// if not present in sheet3 then keep
}
Logger.log(nS1);// view result
Logger.log(nS2);
ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1").getDataRange().clear();// clear and update sheets
ss.getSheetByName("Sheet2").getDataRange().clear();
ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1").getRange(1,1,nS1.length,nS1[0].length).setValues(nS1);
ss.getSheetByName("Sheet2").getRange(1,1,nS2.length,nS2[0].length).setValues(nS2);
}
function checkForDup(item,s){
Logger.log(s+' = '+item[0]+' ?')
if(s.indexOf(item[0])>-1){
return null;
}
return item;
