I have code which succesfully render the data in spreadsheet. it is below
//Function to insert data in the sheet on clicking the submit button
var submissionSSKey = '1BkZoHkyjfv2H_3uuvZ6ltgXCD0WdwMwirLqcJ8__oDY';
function insertInStyleSheet(e)
{
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var name = e.parameter.name;
var message = e.parameter.message;
app.getElementById('info').setVisible(true).setStyleAttribute('color','red');
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(submissionSSKey).getActiveSheet(); //What i have to do here ?????
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var targetRange = sheet.getRange(lastRow+1, 1, 1, 2).setValues([[name,message]]);
return app;
}
Now what i have to do ?
I have opened another sheet in (Sheet2). And i have to render data in that sheet (Currently it is rendering in the same sheet (Sheet1)).
How to render it sheet2 ?
Instead of getActive() use getSheetByName(name).

and thanks for the help. I've got a noob question, and need a noob answer.
Trying to email a specific google sheet as a pdf weekly, but script emails out whatever sheet happens to be open at the time.
Stole various snippets of code, here's what I've got: (And no, I don't think that this block of code was formatted and posted correctly.)
function endOfWK_1 () {
//This script converts all formulas to values in the currently displayed sheet, then converts the currently displayed sheet to a pdf, then emails the
pdf as an attachment to the addresses shown in cell B17 in the "Email" sheet.
//Replace all formulas in range "WK 1!A6:A29" with values
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('WK 1');
var range = sheet.getRange("WK 1!A6:A29");
range.copyTo(range, {contentsOnly: true});
// FOR WK1 ONLY!!!
// Set the Active Spreadsheet so we don't forget
var originalSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
// Set the message to attach to the email.
var message = "Please see attached.";
// Get Dates from Email!B5
var period = originalSpreadsheet.getRange("Email!B5").getValues();
// Construct the Subject Line
var subject = period;
// Get contact details from "Email" sheet and construct To: Header
var contacts = originalSpreadsheet.getSheetByName("Email");
var numRows = contacts.getLastRow();
var emailTo = contacts.getRange(17, 2, numRows, 1).getValues();
// Create a new Spreadsheet and copy the current sheet into it.
var newSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.create("Spreadsheet to export");
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var projectname = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
sheet = originalSpreadsheet.getActiveSheet();
sheet.copyTo(newSpreadsheet);
// Find and delete the default "Sheet1"
newSpreadsheet.getSheetByName('Sheet1').activate();
newSpreadsheet.deleteActiveSheet();
// Create the PDF, currently called "Tracking Sheet.pdf"
var pdf = DriveApp.getFileById(newSpreadsheet.getId()).getAs('application/pdf').getBytes();
var attach = {fileName:'Tracking Sheet.pdf',content:pdf, mimeType:'application/pdf'};
// Send the freshly constructed email
MailApp.sendEmail(emailTo, subject, message, {attachments:[attach]});
// Delete the sheet that was created
DriveApp.getFileById(newSpreadsheet.getId()).setTrashed(true);
// Write the date and time that the script ran
var date = sheet.getRange('Statistics!A1').getValues();
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange('Analysis!E5').setValues(date);
}
This is a bound script, attached to a google workbook containing 5 sheets. My problem is that my script always emails the sheet that happens to be open at the time.
I want to email one specific sheet, whether the workbook is open or closed. How can I do this? (I hope to install a trigger to make this script run automatically.)
Also, anyone want to critique my code?
Thanks to all.
I've fixed it up a little and added some comments. There were a lot of little things I fixed up biggest thing was that you should reuse variables that you've created.
This hasn't been tested...
function endOfWK_1 () {
//Replace all formulas in range "WK 1!A6:A29" with values
var activeSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheetWK1 = activeSpreadsheet.getSheetByName('WK 1');
var range = sheetWK1.getRange("WK 1!A6:A29");
range.copyTo(range, {contentsOnly: true});
// FOR WK1 ONLY!!!
// Set the Active Spreadsheet so we don't forget
var originalSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(); //this should probably be changed depending on what sheet you are trying to access: activeSpreadsheet.getSheetByName('Email')
// Set the message to attach to the email.
var message = "Please see attached.";
// Get Dates from Email!B5
var period = originalSpreadsheet.getRange("Email!B5").getValues();
// Construct the Subject Line
var subject = period;
// Get contact details from "Email" sheet and construct To: Header
var contacts = originalSpreadsheet.getSheetByName("Email");
var numRows = contacts.getLastRow();
var emailTo = contacts.getRange(17, 2, numRows, 1).getValues();
// Create a new Spreadsheet and copy the current sheet into it.
var newSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.create("Spreadsheet to export"); //Create a spreadsheet to copy to
// var originalSheet = activeSpreadsheet.getSheetByName("WK1"); Already defined above as sheetWK1
//var projectname = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); Seems like this is not used.
sheetWK1.copyTo(newSpreadsheet); //Take the original sheet and copy it to the newSpreadsheet
// Find and delete the default "Sheet1"
newSpreadsheet.deleteSheet(newSpreadsheet.getSheetByName("Sheet1")); //We can just call the deleteSheet method.
// Create the PDF, currently called "Tracking Sheet.pdf"
var pdf = newSpreadsheet.getAs('application/pdf').getBytes(); //No need to get the Spreadsheet object again, as we alreat have it!
var attach = {fileName: 'Tracking Sheet.pdf', content: pdf, mimeType: 'application/pdf'};
// Send the freshly constructed email
MailApp.sendEmail(emailTo, subject, message, {attachments:[attach]});
// Delete the sheet that was created
newSpreadsheet.setTrashed(true); //Again no need to find the object. We have it.
// Write the date and time that the script ran
var date = sheet.getRange('Statistics!A1').getValues();
activeSpreadsheet.getRange('Analysis!E5').setValues(date);
}
The main issue was var originalSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(); you are getting the active sheet and using that to create you pdf.
EDIT: I've cleaned up the whole thing a little and ended up with this. It hasn't been tested.
function endOfWK_1 () {
//Replace all formulas in range "WK 1!A6:A29" with values
var activeSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheetWK1 = activeSpreadsheet.getSheetByName('WK 1');
var emailSheet = activeSpreadsheet.getSheetByName("Email");
var range = sheetWK1.getRange("WK 1!A6:A29");
range.copyTo(range, {contentsOnly: true});
// FOR WK1 ONLY!!!
// Set the message to attach to the email.
var message = "Please see attached.";
// Get Dates from Email!B5
var period = emailSheet.getRange("Email!B5").getValues();
// Construct the Subject Line
var subject = period;
// Get contact details from "Email" sheet and construct To: Header
var numRows = emailSheet.getLastRow();
var emailTo = emailSheet.getRange(17, 2, numRows, 1).getValues();
// Create a new Spreadsheet and copy the current sheet into it.
var newSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.create("Spreadsheet to export");
sheetWK1.copyTo(newSpreadsheet);
// Find and delete the default "Sheet1"
newSpreadsheet.deleteSheet(newSpreadsheet.getSheetByName("Sheet1"));
// Create the PDF, currently called "Tracking Sheet.pdf"
var pdf = newSpreadsheet.getAs('application/pdf').getBytes();
var attach = {fileName: 'Tracking Sheet.pdf', content: pdf, mimeType: 'application/pdf'};
// Send the freshly constructed email
MailApp.sendEmail(emailTo, subject, message, {attachments:[attach]});
// Delete the sheet that was created
DriveApp.getFileById(newSpreadsheet.getId()).setTrashed(true);
// Write the date and time that the script ran
var date = activeSpreadsheet.getRange('Statistics!A1').getValues();
activeSpreadsheet.getRange('Analysis!E5').setValues(date);
}
In Google Sheets I have a script I'm using to create a new sheet for each Google Form that is submitted. It is supposed to create a new sheet with name based on the last column, column G(which isn't a form submitted column). Then it takes the information from the last row and the heading row and copy it to the first two rows of the created sheet. It also adds formulae to cells to put the info into columns(transpose) and format it based on a created sheet.
Right now it is creating the sheet and copying the formulae and format, but not giving it the proper name or pulling the last row information.
Please help!

I have copied the code below:
function onFormSubmit() {
// onFormSubmit
// get submitted data
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(
'...');
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Responses");
var headings = sheet.getRange(1,1,1,
sheet.getLastColumn()).getValues();
var lastRow = sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow(),1,1,
sheet.getLastColumn()).getValues();
var studentUsername = lastRow[0][6];
// check if username has sheet
if(ss.getSheetByName(studentUsername)){
var userSheet = ss.getSheetByName(studentUsername);
// if not make
} else {
var userSheet = ss.insertSheet(studentUsername);
userSheet.getRange(1,1,1,
headings[0].length).setValues(headings);
}
// copy submitted data to user's sheet
userSheet.appendRow([lastRow]);
userSheet.appendRow(['=CONCATENATE(B6," ",B5)']);
userSheet.appendRow(['=TRANSPOSE(B1:2)']);
userSheet.hideRows(1,2);
userSheet.setColumnWidth(1, 500);
userSheet.setColumnWidth(2, 500);
var FormatSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Format");
var FormatRange = FormatSheet.getRange("a3:b28");
FormatRange.copyFormatToRange(userSheet,1,3,3,28);
}
With some help from the comments and playing around, i figured out the code I need. Big thanks to #Cooper!
Here it is:
function onFormSubmit() {
// onFormSubmit
// get submitted data
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(
'Sheet_ID');
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Responses");
var row = sheet.getLastRow();
var Col = sheet.getLastColumn();
var headings = sheet.getRange(1,1,1,
Col).getValues();
var lastRow = sheet.getRange(row, 1, 1, Col);
var studentUsername = sheet.getRange(row, Col).getValue();
// check if username has sheet
if(ss.getSheetByName(studentUsername)){
var userSheet = ss.getSheetByName(studentUsername);
// if not make
} else {
var userSheet = ss.insertSheet(studentUsername);
userSheet.getRange(1,1,1,
headings[0].length).setValues(headings);
}
// copy submitted data to user's sheet
userSheet.appendRow(lastRow.getValues()[0]);
userSheet.appendRow(['=CONCATENATE(B6," ",B5)']);
userSheet.appendRow(['=TRANSPOSE(B1:2)']);
userSheet.hideRows(1,2);
userSheet.setColumnWidth(1, 500);
userSheet.setColumnWidth(2, 500);
var FormatSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Format");
var FormatRange = FormatSheet.getRange("a3:b28");
FormatRange.copyFormatToRange(userSheet,1,3,3,28);
}
I have generated the following codes in app script in order to send emails automatically if users changed some values in google spreadsheet.
Then I connected my script to the google spreadsheet by changing "current project's trigger". e.g:
my trigger.jpg
The code is working fine. The only problem is that after users insert/edit new values in any cells (e.g: B1, B12, C12,etc) in google spreadsheet, it is going to trigger my scripts, and then the cursor will always be automatically moved to cell A1, which is annoying.
My best guess (which I could be wrong) is that it goes back to cell A1 as a "signal" as it finishes running the app script codes every time?
Is there anything I could do to stop this automatic cursor moving thing? Do I need to change the "current project's trigger"?
function PODTool() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheets()[0]);
var sheet = spreadsheet.getActiveSheet();
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var startRow = 2;
var range = sheet.getRange(2,7,lastRow-startRow+1,1 );
var numRows = range.getNumRows();
var LinksToPODForm = range.getValues();
var rangeColumnReadyToSendEmail =sheet.getRange(2,9,lastRow-startRow+1,1);
var sendEmailOrNot = rangeColumnReadyToSendEmail.getValues();
var warning_count = 0;
var msg = "";
// Loop over the values
for (var i = 0; i <= numRows - 1; i++) {
var EachLinkValue = LinksToPODForm[i][0];
if (EachSendEmailOrNotValue=="yes" && sheet.getRange(i+2,10).getValue()=='Email not Sent' &&EachEmailRecipient=="Someone"){
var BillingOfLadingShowingInEmailNotification = Billing_of_lading_number[i][0];
msg = msg +"Requester: "+EachEmailRecipient+"
warning_count++;
var subject ="Billing of Lading: "+BillingOfLadingShowingInEmailNotification;
sheet.getRange(i+2,10).setValue('Sent');
var recipient = "xxx#gmail.com";
}
if(warning_count) {
MailApp.sendEmail(recipient, subject,msg)
}
};
Thx for any advice!!
I would change this:
var sheet = spreadsheet.getActiveSheet();
to:
var sheet = spreadsheet.getSheets()[0];
and delete this line:
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheets()[0]);
I used Google's Quickstart: Add-on for Google Forms to enable e-mail notifications for respondents of my form. I also added a few lines to send unique code to each respondent and I would like to have these codes stored in responses sheet.
The code below sends the message with code, but it doesn't store code in responses sheet.
function sendRespondentNotification(response) {
var form = FormApp.getActiveForm();
var settings = PropertiesService.getDocumentProperties();
var emailId = settings.getProperty('respondentEmailItemId');
var emailItem = form.getItemById(parseInt(emailId));
var respondentEmail = response.getResponseForItem(emailItem)
.getResponse();
if (respondentEmail) {
var template =
HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('RespondentNotification');
template.paragraphs = settings.getProperty('responseText').split('\n');
template.kod = (new Date).getTime().toString(16).substring(5);
template.notice = NOTICE;
var message = template.evaluate();
MailApp.sendEmail(respondentEmail,
settings.getProperty('responseSubject'),
message.getContent(), {
name: form.getTitle(),
htmlBody: message.getContent()
});
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var LastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var cell = sheet.getRange(LastRow, 5);
cell.setValue(template.kod);
}
}
you could use onFormSubmit to generate the unique id and include it in the email for a webapp to use. that id could be something simple like the row number of the response (not in e.values thou) or generate on the fly and write to the responses spreadsheet as a new column. adding columns does not break the form.
I want to focus the last row on a specific sheet (or if possible on every one of them) so here is my function triggered by onOpen on the sheet:
function FocusLastRows() {
var spsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = spsheet.getSheetByName("Usuelle_2013");
var rowInt = sheet.getLastRow();
var colInt = sheet.getLastColumn();
var range = sheet.getRange(rowInt, colInt)
sheet.setActiveRange(range)
}
This event works but if my first loaded sheet is different from the one I want it to focus on it just teleports to the other sheet. Best will be to set an .onOpen on the spreadsheet.
Is that possible?
I found a good alternative for it. It's custom menu with function link to it.
//Pierre-luc Des. Script
//Build your menu
function setMenu() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var menubuttons = [ {name: "Dernière ligne usuelle", functionName: "GOTOLastRow}];
ss.addMenu("Outils", menubuttons);
}
function GOTOLastRow() {
var spsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var currentTime = new Date();
var sheet = spsheet.getSheetByName("Usuelle_" + currentTime.getFullYear());
var rowInt = sheet.getLastRow();
var colInt = sheet.getLastColumn();
var range = sheet.getRange(rowInt, colInt);
sheet.setActiveRange(range);
}
Now i will have a clickable menu "Outils" which will let me do the function.
This is rather inelegant, but perhaps try just checking whether the activated sheet is the target sheet? Something like this:
function FocusLastRows() {
var spsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = spsheet.getSheetByName("Usuelle_2013");
if (sheet == spsheet) {
var rowInt = sheet.getLastRow();
var colInt = sheet.getLastColumn();
var range = sheet.getRange(rowInt, colInt);
sheet.setActiveRange(range);
}
}
The Google Apps Script documentation seems to indicate that you'll need custom libraries to get any other trigger events than the ones provided, and I'm not sure if it's even in-principle possible to trigger only when a certain specific sheet is activated.
I figure checking the sheet with if comparisons is the next-simplest solution.
