I am trying to download the data from a website every hour using Google script. The code is shown as below. When I manually run the function CSV_sgj, I can receive the desired information in email. But when I set the function as time driven (every hour), what I get are all #VALUE!.
I found a similar question and tried to change
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
to
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("0AtAYfCLk3-h7dDBnckdSZkNXbkZBLXBHV200SGtuZnc");
but it still does not work.
Many thanks in advance for help!
The full code is below.
function readRows() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var rows = sheet.getDataRange();
var numRows = rows.getNumRows();
var values = rows.getValues();
for (var i = 0; i <= numRows - 1; i++) {
var row = values[i];
Logger.log(row);
}
};
/**
* Adds a custom menu to the active spreadsheet, containing a single menu item
* for invoking the readRows() function specified above.
* The onOpen() function, when defined, is automatically invoked whenever the
* spreadsheet is opened.
* For more information on using the Spreadsheet API, see
* https://developers.google.com/apps-script/service_spreadsheet
*/
function CSV_sgj() {
readRows();
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var range = sheet.getRange("A1:N32");
var data = range.getValues();
var csv = "";
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; ++i) {
csv += data[i].join(",") + "\r\n";
}
var csvFiles = [{fileName:"PSI5.csv", content:csv}]
MailApp.sendEmail("xxxxxx#gmail.com", "CSV", "", {attachments: csvFiles});
}
When you use
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("0AtAYfCLk3-h7dDBnckdSZkNXbkZBLXBHV200SGtuZnc");
the returned value is a spreadsheet object and what you want is a sheet object...
So you have to get the sheet by its name or by its index number. I suggest you change the variable names accordingly to keep things clear :
var ss= SpreadsheetApp.openById("0AtAYfCLk3-h7dDBnckdSZkNXbkZBLXBHV200SGtuZnc");
var sheet = ss.openByName('sheet1');// or any name you use (a string)
//or by its index
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0] ;// 0 is the index of the first sheet in the spreadsheet (integer)

How can I merge multiple tabs in a Google Spreadsheet using Google App Script ? Data in all the tabs keep changing.
For example, I have 'Sheet1', 'Sheet2' and 'Sheet3' in a Google spreadsheet. Data in all these sheets have 3 columns - Name and email ID & Region. Now, I want to merge/combine the data present in these 3 sheets/tabs into a 4th Sheet i.e. 'Sheet 4' having same Columns (name, email Id & Region). The 4th sheet should have data as - data of Sheet1 followed by Sheet2 and then Sheet3. The number of rows in all the 3 sheets keeps changing.
=query({Sheet1!A1:C; Sheet2!A1:C; Sheet3!A1:C}, "where Col1 is not null", 0)
I wouldn't use a script for this; the worksheet formulas are much faster, at least most of the time.
Make sure you use semicolons to separate the ranges. Semicolons are the End_Of_Row operator for array literals.
If you really want to use a script...
function combineSheets() {
var sApp = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var s1= sApp.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var s2= sApp.getSheetByName("Sheet2");
var s3= sApp.getSheetByName("Sheet3");
var s4= sApp.getSheetByName("Sheet4");
// If Sheet4 doesn't exist you'll need to create it here.
var s1values = s1.getRange(1,1,s1.getLastRow(),3).getValues();
var s2values = s2.getRange(1,1,s2.getLastRow(),3).getValues();
var s3values = s3.getRange(1,1,s3.getLastRow(),3).getValues();
// Now, we can put out all together and stuff it in Sheet4
var s4values = [];
s4values = s1values.concat(s2values,s3values);
s4.getRange(1,1,s4values.length,3).setValues(s4values);
}
You don't need a script for this. In the fourth sheet, enter the following formula in A2:
={filter(Sheet1!A2:C, len(Sheet1!A2:A)); filter(Sheet2!A2:C, len(Sheet2!A2:A)); filter(Sheet3!A2:C, len(Sheet3!A2:A))}
It returns the contents of columns A-C where the entry in column A is nonempty, and stacks them in one array.
You can use Google Apps Scripts for this.
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
function TotalsSheet() {
var totaldata = [];
var sheets = ss.getSheets();
var totalSheets = 2;
for (var i=0; i < totalSheets; i++) {
var sheet = sheets[i];
var range = sheet.getDataRange();
var values = range.getValues();
for (var row in values) {
totaldata.push(values[row]);
}
}
return totaldata;
}
function Start() {
var All = ss.insertSheet("All-Values");
var totaldata = TotalsSheet();
for (var i = 0; i < totaldata.length; i++) {
All.appendRow(totaldata[i]);
}
}
//This Script is must faster
function consolidateData(){
// defined all variables
var sheetNames = [];
var dataSheet = [];
var dataValues = [];
var conso=[];
var header = [["Name","email ID","Region"]];
var ws = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
// get all sheets
var allsheets = ws.getSheets();
for(var s in allsheets){
var sheet = allsheets[s];
sheetNames[s] = sheet.getName();
dataSheet[s] = ws.getSheetByName(sheetNames[s]);
// adding all sheet's data to a single variable
conso = conso.concat(dataSheet[s].getRange("A2:C"+dataSheet[s].getLastRow()).getValues());
}
// writing data into new sheet
var newSheet = ws.insertSheet().setName("Consolidated_Data");
newSheet.getRange("A1:C1").setValues(header);
newSheet.getRange("A2:C"+(conso.length+1)).setValues(conso);
}
I made one that will do nine tabs' consolidation, with more rows and columns.
=filter({{Sheet1!A1:Q500};{Sheet2!A1:Q500};{Sheet3!A1:Q500};{Sheet4!A1:Q500};{Sheet5!A1:Q500};{Sheet6!A1:Q500};{Sheet7!A1:Q500};{Sheet8!A1:Q500};{Sheet9!A1:Q500}},{{Sheet1!A1:A500};{Sheet2!A1:A500};{Sheet3!A1:A500};{Sheet4!A1:A500};{Sheet5!A1:A500};{Sheet6!A1:A500};{Sheet7!A1:A500};{Sheet8!A1:A500};{Sheet9!A1:A500}}<>"")
I'm wondering if it is a way to generalize the initial filter formula so that you can cut and paste in more sheet numbers, so for instance if there were 20 or 30 tabs with 25 columns, could you consolidate that easily into one page?

I am new to this and I am having some trouble trying to figure this out. I have a spreadsheet that collects data from a google form. I am trying to find a way to move that data based on a column answer to a different google sheet. (Not a sheet in the same document but a different document all together). It seems like there is some information about moving to a different tab in the same document, but not a different document.
I will first say that I tried just an IMPORTRANGE function, but that only mirrors the data, and does not let you update or change cells.
Here is what I have been able to piece together so far, but I may be way off.
I have a trigger that would run every hour.
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1U0I9SkbGkHgm-vRkwf2Ppc_yxlqrVlg2t8yKRy3sYuI');
var sheetOrg = ss.getSheetByName("Form Responses 1");
var value1ToWatch = "ANDERSON";
var value2ToWatch = "BARNES";
var sheetNameToMoveTheRowTo = "Sheet1"; //sheet has same name for each target openByID(" *url key* ")
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var ts1 =SpreadsheetApp.openById("1PxV1PQrMdu_2aSru4dpan8cUgHYdlYPUp5anyzjMAms");
sheet1in = ts1.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var ts2 = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1BYyQZNiXc2QqsyqWs7uazjl5B6mfFYM1xj3u8gWyYOQ");
sheet1in = ts2.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
arr = [],
values = sheetOrg.getDataRange().getValues(),
i = values.length;
while (--i) {
if (value1ToWatch.indexOf(values[i][1]) > -1) {
arr.unshift(values[i])
sheetOrg.deleteRow(i + 1)
sheet1in.getRange(sheet1in.getLastRow()+1, 1, arr.length,
arr[0].length).setValues(arr);
};
if (value2ToWatch.indexOf(values[i][1]) > -1) {
arr.unshift(values[i])
sheetOrg.deleteRow(i + 1)
sheet2in.getRange(sheet2in.getLastRow()+1, 1, arr.length,
arr[0].length).setValues(arr);
};
}
}
The sheet google forms dumps the information into is "Form Responses 1".
Column B is the cells I want to get the values from. (There are a total of 9 different values that it can be like "ANDERSON", "BARNES", "SMITH", etc).
For sheetNameToMoveTheRowTo is "Sheet1" - that may be confusing and I may need to change that, but for example
ts1 =SpreadsheetApp.openById("1PxV1PQrMdu_2aSru4dpan8cUgHYdlYPUp5anyzjMAms") the sheet name that I want the information moved to is "Sheet1".
ts2 = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1BYyQZNiXc2QqsyqWs7uazjl5B6mfFYM1xj3u8gWyYOQ") the sheet name is also "Sheet1" but in a different document.
I think if I were able to get the "ANDERSON" one to work, then I can just add additional variables for each possible response, and just copy and paste additional "IF" statements, just changing the valueToWatch and targetSheet values. <= if that is not correct please let me know
I have tried to both debug, and run the script above but nothing happens. There are no errors reported on the debug, but it is not moving any information over.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
// UPDATE I got this to work. I have updated the code listed with what worked for me.
I think that copyTo() method will not work like you mentioned, it operates on same SpreadSheet. I'm sending you example with looping on source sheet data and then setting the target sheet values with it.
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var allrange = ss.getActiveRange();
var range = sheet.getRange("A1:A10");
var values = range.getValues();
var allvals = [];
for(var i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
allvals.push( values[i] ) ;
}
var dataLength = allvals.length;
// alert data
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
// ui.alert( JSON.stringify(allvals) )
// copy to new Google SpreadSheet
var newSheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1F79XkNPWm2cCWlB2JP3K4tAYRESKUgtHK4Pn2vbJEiI').getSheets()[0];
var tmp = "A1:A" + dataLength ;
var newRange = newSheet.getRange( tmp );
newRange.setValues( allvals );
}
Here's a simple example of moving data from one spreadsheet to another.
function movingDataToSS(){
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var dss=SpreadsheetApp.openById('ssId');
var sh=ss.getActiveSheet();
var rg=sh.getDataRange();
var vA=rg.getValues();
var dsh=dss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
var drg=dsh.getRange(1,1,rg.getHeight(),rg.getWidth()).setValues(vA);
}
If you interested in placing some conditions on your output by only getting output from odd rows and even columns.
function movingDataOddRowsAndEvenCols(){
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var dss=SpreadsheetApp.openById('ssId');
var sh=ss.getActiveSheet();
var rg=sh.getDataRange();
var vA=rg.getValues();
var h=rg.getHeight();
var w=rg.getWidth();
var dsh=dss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
for(var i=0;i<h;i++){
var out=[];
if(i%2==0){
for(var j=0;j<w;j++){
if(j%2==1){
out.push(vA[i][j]);
}
}
dsh.appendRow(out);
}
}
}
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]);
In Google Sheets I have a sheet with Form Responses, and to the right of the form columns I have columns with formulas that use form data for functions.
At the start I had the formulas extended down the rows so they worked on new form submissions, but found that new form submissions would clear the row out :(.
Instead of manually extending formulas down after each submission I installed Andrew Stillman's copyDown() script; what it does is copies down the formulas after scripts are submitted.
Now the problem I'm having is that the script works when run manually, but when I set to trigger on form submits it copies the said formula on that sheet and on all other sheets in the spreadsheet. I Do Not Want that side-effect, as it messes the whole spreadsheet up. :((
What I thought to do is edit script so it only works on the one Form Response sheet, not all sheets. But I don't know how to do that.
The name of the sheet I want it to run on is "Requests", and the gid=8.
How do I edit this script to only work for that one sheet?
To get code to run on just a particular sheet use the .getSheetByName() method. For example:
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var reqSh = ss.getSheetByName('Requests');
There is another way that might be easier. You could try keeping one sheet purely for form submissions and use an arrayformula in a second sheet to copy any values from the first sheet to the same range in the second.
=ARRAYFORMULA('Requests'!A1:H) would copy columns A to H.
I had the same problem as you and this was the solution. I placed my formulas in the second sheet in the columns to the right of the range and copied them down in the normal way. The formulas referred to the copied range in the second sheet. It worked a treat.
I didn't come up with the idea myself - I'm sure it was suggested by someone on the Google spreadsheet forum. I should give you a link to the post but I just looked and I can't find it.
In your code you have (comments in code)
var sheets = ss.getSheets() [8]; // you choose sheet [8]
var cellAddresses = new Object();
for (var i=0; i<sheets.length; i++) { // but you enter a for loop that adresses every sheet in turn...
var range = sheets[i].getDataRange();
You should simply suppress this loop and use only the sheet number you want to be proceeded ...
The simplest way could be to do it like this :
var i = 8
var sheets = ss.getSheets() [i];
var cellAddresses = new Object();
var range = sheets[i].getDataRange();
...
and at the end of the loop delete the } that fitted the for loop
EDIT : the new code should be like this :
function copydown() {
setCopyDownUid();
setCopyDownSid();
logCopyDown();
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheets = ss.getSheets() [8];
var cellAddresses = new Object();
var i=8
// for (var i=0; i<sheets.length; i++) {
var range = sheets[i].getDataRange();
var lastRow = range.getLastRow();
var values = range.getValues();
for (var j=0; j<values.length; j++) {
for (var k=0; k<values[j].length; k++) {
var test = values[j][k].toString();
var start = test.indexOf("copydown");
if (start == 0) {
start = start+10;
var end = test.length-2;
var length = end-start;
var value = test.substr(start, length);
var col = k+1;
var nextRow = j+2;
var numRows = lastRow-(nextRow-1);
if (numRows>0) {
var destRange = sheets[i].getRange(nextRow, col, numRows, 1);
destRange.clear();
var newLastRow = sheets[i].getDataRange().getLastRow();
var newNumRows = newLastRow-(nextRow-1);
var newDestRange = sheets[i].getRange(nextRow, col, newNumRows, 1);
var cell = sheets[i].getRange(nextRow-1, col);
cell.setFormula(value);
cell.copyTo(newDestRange);
}
var cellAddress = cell.getA1Notation();
cellAddresses[cellAddress] = test;
}
}
}
Utilities.sleep(500);
resetCellValues(cellAddresses, sheets[i]);
}
//}
