I created a button that does the following:
A. Copy a group of columns from sheet 1 (daily sports) and paste them into sheet 2 (Record).
B. The columns pasted in sheet 2 go to the next empty column (or create a new column) so they don't over-right the info that's already there..
C. Every time I'm done putting in new information I press the button and it automatically gets copied to sheet 2.
This is the code I'm using:
function moveValuesOnly () {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet ();
var source = ss.getRange ("Daily sports!B2:D20");
var destSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Record");
var destRange = destSheet.getRange(destSheet.getLastRow(),1);
var destRange = destSheet.getRange(destSheet.getLastColumn(),2);
source.copyTo (destRange, {contentsOnly: true});
source.clear ();}
The problems I'm having are as follows
1) Every time I hit the button it does not create a new column, instead it just covers the old columns.
2) the original source gets cleared (I know, It's the last function, it clearly says "clear" I just don't know what to write instead... I want the source to stay as is)
If anyone could help me with this script that would be great..
Thank you!
The following code should do what are you looking for:
function moveValuesOnly() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var source = ss.getRange ("Daily sports!B2:D20");
var destSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Record");
var row = 1; //the starting row of the range
var column = destSheet.getLastColumn()+1; //the starting column of the range
var numRows = 19; //the number of rows to return
var numColumns = 3; //the number of columns to return
var destRange = destSheet.getRange(row, column, numRows, numColumns);
source.copyTo(destRange, {contentsOnly: true})
}

I am trying to write a script that is tied to a button so that when clicked it copies my selected range into the next available row based on contents in column A. I have formulas in column D and currently when ran it pastes into the next available row but I would like it to paste into the next available row based on if column A has data.
Here is what I have so far
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet ();
var source = ss.getRange ("JOB BUILD!A3:E21");
var destSheet = ss.getSheetByName("JOB IN PROGRESS");
var destRange = destSheet.getRange(destSheet.getLastRow()+1,1);
source.copyTo (destRange, {contentsOnly: false})
}
If you want to paste the values based on the last available row from a certain column, you will have to find the last row of that column.
In order to get the last row of a certain row, you can use this method from this answer. Assuming you want to paste the values based on column A from the destSheet, you can try the below code:
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sourceSheet = ss.getSheetByName("JOB BUILD");
var sourceData = sourceSheet.getRange("A3:E21");
var destSheet = ss.getSheetByName("JOB IN PROGRESS");
var aRange = destSheet.getRange("A1:A").getValues();
var colA = aRange.filter(String).length;
var destRange = destSheet.getRange(colA, "COL_NO", "NO_OF_ROWS", "NO_OF_COLS");
sourceData.copyTo(destRange, {
contentsOnly: false
})
}
Note
Please bear in mind that depending on the exact structure of your data from the two sheets, you will have to adjust the ranges.

var sourceRange = source.getRange('A1:B'); // range to copy
var destination1 = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet2'); // name of log sheet

var sourceRange = source.getRange('H1:I5000'); // range to copy
var destination2 = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet3'); // name of log sheet
var lastRow = destination2.getLastRow();
destination2.getRange('A1:B').activate();
destination2.getActiveRangeList().clear({contentsOnly: true, skipFilteredRows: true});
var source = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet2'); // name of source sheet
var sourceRange = source.getRange('H1:I5000'); // range to copy
var destination3 = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet3'); // name of log sheet
sourceRange.copyTo(destination3.getRange(1 + 1, 1),{contentsOnly:true});
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var source = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet3'); // name of source sheet
var sourceRange = source.getRange('A1:B5000'); // range to copy
var destination4 = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet2'); // name of log sheet
var lastRow = destination4.getLastRow();
spreadsheet.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Sheet2'), true);
spreadsheet.getRange('A:B').activate();
spreadsheet.getActiveRangeList().clear({contentsOnly: true, skipFilteredRows: true});
sourceRange.copyTo(destination4.getRange('A:B'),{contentsOnly:true});
var hide1 = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet2');
hide1.hideSheet();
var hide2 = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet3');
hide2.hideSheet();
}
Basically it makes a static copy of some data that I need to sum later. This part works fine.
What isn't working are the last lines, basically I want to hide Sheet2 and Sheet3, which are helper sheets to make the calcs.
The best way would be to make all the calcs without unhide those sheets but I wasn't able to find a solution (so if someone know what I've to change to perform it, would be great), so I'm searching a way to at least hide them after the script run.
With these lines, sometimes they are both hide, sometime just 1 of them (randomly between sheet2 and sheet3, I guess it have something to do with "active", and so I've tried to active both in sequence but still doesn't work).
Could you help me to hide both everytime (or make it works without unhide anything at all) without failures? Thanks

I'm attempting to switch from Excel to Google Sheets and I already have a macro for this, but you can't run macros on Google spreadsheet. What I want is to move the Value in Log-in!C5 to another sheet "w1" starting in column A3. The code I have works but instead of moving it in "w1!A3" it was placed on cell A146 since it was the next empty row. Is there a way for the value to be moved in first empty row in Column A? regardless that the other columns are not empty?
Here is my code
function moveValuesOnly() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var source = ss.getRange('Log-in!C5');
var destSheet = ss.getSheetByName('w1');
var destRange = destSheet.getRange(destSheet.getLastRow()+1,1);
source.copyTo (destRange, {contentsOnly: true});
source.clear ();
}
getLastRow() only gets the lastRow of the sheet and not the range.
If you only want w1!A3,hardcode it directly: Try Changing from
destSheet.getRange(destSheet.getLastRow()+1,1);
to
destSheet.getRange(3,1);
Alternatively,To find the first empty cell in a range,
var colA = destSheet.getRange('A:A').getValues();
Code1:
//Filter 2D array to 1D
var fcolA = colA.filter(function (e) {return e[0];});
var firstEmptyRowIncolA = fcolA.indexOf('')+1;
or
Code2:
for(i=0;i<colA.length;i++){
if(colA[i][0] == ''){
var firstEmptyRowIncolA = i+1;
break;
}
}
I want to take the last response from a Google Form and copy it to the same range on another sheet.
The second sheet has some data in columns A & B (a login and password) that I want to assign as somebody completes the registration form.
I want the data from column B to H from the form response sheet to be copied to column C to I on the sheet that contains the login/password columns when a response is received.
I know I am missing the code to take the range from the last row, but I know NO coding at all and my current script is compiled from things I've found around the web and the reference material.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
function onEdit(e) {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("sheetid");
var sheet = spreadsheet.getSheets()[0];
var lastrow = sheet.getLastRow();
var range = sheet.getRange(2,2,1,7);
values = range.getValues();
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var SSsheet = ss.getSheets()[1];
var ssRange = SSsheet.getRange(2,3,1,7);
ssRange.setValues(values);
}
Try using copyTo(destination). It copies the data from a range of cells to another range of cells. Both the values and formatting are copied.
// The code below will copy the first 5 columns over to the 6th column.
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var rangeToCopy = sheet.getRange(1, 1, sheet.getMaxRows(), 5);
rangeToCopy.copyTo(sheet.getRange(1, 6));
}
You can also try using copyValuesToRangecopyValuesToRange.
For additional code samples, you may also refer to this forum.
function onEdit(e) {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("ID");
var sheet = spreadsheet.getSheets()[0];
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var range = sheet.getRange("A"+(lastRow)+":G"+(lastRow));
var values = range.getValues();
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var SSsheet = ss.getSheets()[1];
var getRow = SSsheet.getLastRow() + 1;
var ssRange = SSsheet.getRange(getRow, 1, values.length, values[0].length);
ssRange.setValues(values);
Try with this,
this code copies the last value you want from a certain range and pastes it in the last available row of the other sheet.
The code it's the same only in the place where you are going to copy it, specify it to be the size of what I want to copy. I hope it helps you :D
I've been having trouble getting my scripts to work for my investment portfolio spreadsheet. They were working fine until early May and I've been unable to get them to work since. What I'm trying to do is store the performance of my portfolio each day to a separate sheet. The script should be finding the next empty row and putting the current date in the first column and the value in the 2nd column. What it's doing is overwriting the row each time the script is run.
Here is my script:
function storePerf() {
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheets()["0"]);
var source = ss.getRange ("Performance!G28");
var destSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Performance Historical");
var numRows = source.getNumRows();
var numColumns = source.getNumColumns();
var nextColumn = numColumns +1;
// Determine the first empty row to paste to.
var destRange = destSheet.getRange(destSheet.getLastRow()+1,2);
source.copyTo (destRange, {contentsOnly: true});
// Print date in the cell to the right of the latest price
destSheet.getRange(destSheet.getLastRow(),1).setValue(new Date());
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks
Also add the +1. Or add the flush function before. The script is faster then the added row.
SpreadshertApp.flush()
destSheet.getRange(destSheet.getLastRow(),1).setValue(new Date());
But then Isuggest you use appendRow and make it a lot easier:
var source = ss.getRange ("Performance!G28");
var destSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Performance Historical");
//make a new row
var newRow = [source.getValue(), new Date()]
destSheet.appendRow([newRow]);
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
