Google Apps Script: Move data between spreadsheets - google-apps-script

Question

I'm trying to use Google Apps Script to move data between two Google spreadsheets.
The spreadsheet named Ex_ID has one sheet and one row for each employee, each row has six important values including an id number and five data values.
The spreadsheet named CR_ID has a different sheet for each employee and each sheet has an id number and five cells where I need to enter the data.
I'm trying to write a script that moves data values from Ex_ID to CR_ID where the id values match. (Note: Since I'm still trying to see how the code can work, I limited the example to one of the five data values and I'm only testing it on three employees.)
function myFunction() {
var CR_ID = "1BbAmoSsS_2-nvOxv_l5gZ8ftXclD5muWs0ZAmkDUR-Y";
var ssCR = SpreadsheetApp.openById(CR_ID);
var sCR = ssCR.getSheets();
var Ex_ID = "1lkpXdWdbfe8Wkj1RGQOb-pWjEQe41hstKj2i4TxMQd8";
var ssEx = SpreadsheetApp.openById(Ex_ID);
var sEx = ssEx.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
for (var i = 2; i = 4; i++) {
//Get id value from Ex_ID
var ExCell = sEx.getRange(i, 2).getValue();
for (var j = 0; j = 2; j++) {
var sheet = sCR[j];
//Get id value from CR_ID
var val = sheet.getRange(1, 7).getValue();
if (ExCell[i] == val[j]) {
var ExWrite = sEx.getRange(i, 11).getValue();
sheet.getRange(3, 20).setValue(ExWrite);
}
}
}
}

I don't know how your data is organized and where you want to put them on the sheets but I would try something like this:
function myFunction()
{
var ess = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1BbAmoSsS_2-nvOxv_l5gZ8ftXclD5muWs0ZAmkDUR-Y");
var es = ess.getSheets();
var dss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1lkpXdWdbfe8Wkj1RGQOb-pWjEQe41hstKj2i4TxMQd8");
var ds = dss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
var dr = ds.getDataRange();
var dA = dr.getValues();
for(var i=1;i<dA.length;i++)//started with 1 assuming that you have a header.
{
var row=dA[i];//loop through rows of employee data I will assume data to be in this ID,DataValue1,DataValue2,DataValue3,DataValue4,DataValue5
for(var j=0;j<es.length;j++)
{
if(row[0]==es[j].getSheetName())//checking the ID value assuming it is row[0];
{
var sht=es[j];
sht.getRange('D1').setValue(row[1]);//DataValue1
sht.getRange('D2').setValue(row[2]);//DataValue2
etc...
}
}
}
}
