So I am new to Google Sheets. I am making an inspection report for a small company using Sheets. I would like to add a button to the bottom of the sheet which does the following script:
Duplicate original sheet
Rename sheet to a cell value +today's date. i.e Fred01011980
Email the sheet as a PDF to a recipient.
Finally clear the inputted values in the original master template sheet.
I have looked up how to do each of these and a few of them are straightforward, but I don't know how to combine them. Can I just add all of the functions individually together without any additional syntax needed? Any help on this would be really appreciated. Thank you.
I believe you can just create another function that calls your functions, like this:
function doAllStuff() {
doStuff();
doMoreStuff();
}
Here's how I did it:
function AllinOne() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var name = "Inspection";
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Inspection").copyTo(ss);
var newname = ss.getSheetByName("Inspection").getRange(2, 2).getValue();
var newnamedate = ss.getSheetByName("Inspection").getRange(3, 2).getValue();
var sheetx = ss.getActiveSheet()
var thisSheet = sheetx.getName();
var actualSheetName = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet().getName()
var sheetfinal = ss.getSheetByName("Inspection")
var old = ss.getSheetByName(newname+newnamedate);
if (old) ss.deleteSheet(old);
sheet.setName(newname+newnamedate); //copies the sheet and renames it to "store+date"
ss.setActiveSheet(sheet)
// below is pdf conversion
var originalSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sourcesheet = originalSpreadsheet.getActiveSheet();
var sourcerange = sourcesheet.getRange('A1:B176'); // range to get - here I get all of columns which i want
var sourcevalues = sourcerange.getValues();
var data = sourcesheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var newSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.create(thisSheet); // can give any name.
var sheetnow = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var projectname = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheetz = sourcesheet.copyTo(newSpreadsheet);
var destrange = sheetz.getRange('A1:B176');
destrange.setValues(sourcevalues);
newSpreadsheet.getSheetByName('Sheet1').activate();
newSpreadsheet.deleteActiveSheet();
var pdf = DriveApp.getFileById(newSpreadsheet.getId());
var theBlob = pdf.getBlob().getAs('application/pdf').setName(newname+newnamedate);
var folderID = "File_ID"; // Folder id to save in a folder.
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID);
var newFile = folder.createFile(theBlob);
DriveApp.getFileById(newSpreadsheet.getId()).setTrashed(true);
MailApp.sendEmail("Email","New Manager Inspection: "+newname+newnamedate, "A new Manager Inspection Report has been added to the Drive.");
ss.getSheetByName(name).getRangeList(["B176","B150:B164","B138:B146","B129:B134","B119:B125","B106:B115","B99:B102","B84:B95","B78:B80","B66:B74","B55:B62","B48:B51","B34:B44","B25:B30","B18:B21","B10:B14","B4:B7","B2","B16","B23","B32","B46","B53","B53","B64","B76","B82","B97","B104","B117","B127","B136","B148","B166"]).clearContent();
ss.setActiveSheet(sheetfinal);
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().alert("Report Submitted, Please do NOT Resubmit. Thank You");
}

could you please advise how to modify the script in google spreadsheets, to copy VALUES only ?
function Report() {
var sheetName = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var folderID = "1czYdbjaPOqUmpPbnB2Fl0LGX_eVYWskD";
var LPSheetSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var LPSheet = LPSheetSpreadsheet.getSheetByName("RAW Master CHF");
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID);
var fileName = "LP Report "
var destSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.open(DriveApp.getFileById(LPSheetSpreadsheet.getId()).makeCopy(fileName , folder)
var destSheet = destSpreadsheet.getSheetByName("RAW Master CHF");
It works, but copy sheets with all formulas. Can we add some another argument/modify the script to copy/paste just values?
many thanks!
You can add function to copy paste value after you have create the new sheet, so that it will loop through all the sheets and replace all formula with value only:
function Report() {
var sheetName = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var folderID = "1QmdQ0meKRbxe2GIg9rRkcTWOcKVKHWvn";
var LPSheetSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID);
var fileName = "LP Report "
var destSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.open(DriveApp.getFileById(LPSheetSpreadsheet.getId()).makeCopy(fileName , folder));
var destSheets = destSpreadsheet.getSheets();
for (var i = 0; i < destSheets.length;i++){
var sheet = destSheets[i];
var copyRange = sheet.getRange(1,1,sheet.getLastRow(),sheet.getLastColumn());
copyRange.copyTo(copyRange, SpreadsheetApp.CopyPasteType.PASTE_VALUES, false);
}
}
Answer
Use getDataRange, getDisplayValues and setValues.
Explanation
Once you have made a copy of the file, you can replace all its formulas with values combining the mentioned methods.
Code
function formula2value() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var sheets = ss.getSheets()
for (var i = 0; i < sheets.length; i++) {
var values = sheets[i].getDataRange().getDisplayValues()
sheets[i].getDataRange().setValues(values)
}
}
References
Sheet: getDataRange
Range: getDisplayValues
Range: setValues
I'm trying to get this code to work but keep getting a "TypeError: offset.copyTo is not a function". The script is supposed to take one value from sheet "Budget" and copy it into the next available row in column F on sheet "Projected".
I have tried playing around with syntax and other ways to copy but to now avail, any help would be greatly appreciated
function OffsetRecord() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("xx").getSheetByName("Budget");
var offset = sheet.getRange('I5').getValue();
var destSheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("xx").getSheetByName("Projected");
var colF = destSheet.getRange('F:F').getValues();
var fcolF = colF.filter(function (e) {return e[0];});
var firstEmptyRowIncolF = fcolF.indexOf('')+1;
offset.copyTo(firstEmptyRowIncolF, {contentsOnly: true});
copyTo expects ranges as parameters, not values or column numbers, see here
Modify your code as following:
function OffsetRecord() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("XX");
var sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName("Budget");
var offset = sheet.getRange('I5');//without ".getValue();"!
var destSheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName("Projected");
...
firstEmptyRowIncolF = ...;
var destinationColumn = 1;
var range = destSheet.getRange(firstEmptyRowIncolF, destinationColumn);
offset.copyTo(range, {contentsOnly: true});
}
I'm trying to create an app script that you can type in the name and username of an individual and select various dates associated with their training. I'm nearly done with the project but one piece of script is giving me issues. What the script is supposed to do is take the User Name I've entered into the app and see if that value already exists in column L of the archive. If the value exists then it should return an alert with a YES_NO option and depending on what is selected it will either cancel the import or continue on and import the username to the sheet.
I've been trying to figure out this script for about 5 days and cannot figure it out. I've tried pretty much everything I can think of. Here's the code. The Username already exists in Cell L3 of the Archive.
function postApp(e)
{
var usern = e.parameter.userN;
var name1 = e.parameter.name;
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var tM = sheet.getSheetByName('Archive');
var tR = tM.getLastRow()-1;
var tC = tM.getLastColumn();
var tD = tM.getRange("L3").getValues();
if(tD == usern )
{
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi(); // Same variations.
var result = ui.alert('Wait', 'The Username you are trying to use has already been archived. Would you still like to continue?', ui.ButtonSet.YES_NO);
// Process the user's response.
if (result == ui.Button.Yes) {
// User clicked "Yes".
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().toast('Error Report Has Been Updated', 'UPDATE ERRORS',3);
var date = new Date();
var d = Utilities.formatDate(date, Session.getScriptTimeZone(), 'M/d/yyyy');
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var s = ss.getSheetByName('SyNERGY');
var lR = s.getLastRow()+1;
var lC = s.getLastColumn();
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var name = e.parameter.name;
var user = e.parameter.userN;
var team = e.parameter.team;
var hire = e.parameter.hire;
////////////////////////////
// CREATE REPORT CARD
genReportCard(name, team, hire, app, user);
s.getRange(lR,12).setValue([[user]]).setNumberFormat(';;;');
s.getRange(lR,12).setValue(user.toString().toLowerCase());
s.getRange(lR,11).setValue('SyN');
///////////////////////////////////////////
///////////Close after complete////////////
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi(); // Same variations.
var result = ui.alert("Specialist Created!");
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
app.close();
return app;
}else {
// User clicked "No" or X in the title bar.
ui.alert('Import Canceled');
}
}else{
var date = new Date();
var d = Utilities.formatDate(date, Session.getScriptTimeZone(),
'M/d/yyyy');
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var s = ss.getSheetByName('SyNERGY');
var lR = s.getLastRow()+1;
var lC = s.getLastColumn();
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var name = e.parameter.name;
var user = e.parameter.userN;
var team = e.parameter.team;
var hire = e.parameter.hire;
////////////////////////////
// CREATE REPORT CARD
genReportCard(name, team, hire, app, user);
s.getRange(lR,12).setValue([[user]]).setNumberFormat(';;;');
s.getRange(lR,12).setValue(user.toString().toLowerCase());
s.getRange(lR,11).setValue('SyN');
///////////////////////////////////////////
///////////Close after complete////////////
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi(); // Same variations.
var result = ui.alert("Specialist Created!");
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
app.close();
return app;
}
}
This script Works as long as I am referencing One Cell so tM.getRange("L3").getValues(); Works. However, As soon as I change that to tM.getRange("L3:L").getValues(); it does not recognize the value exists within the range and returns the else portion of the code.
I have also tried a loop for the top section that is giving me issues but the same thing is happening. As soon as I try to find a value within the column rather than a specific cell it won't work. Here is what it looks like with the loop.
function postApp(e)
{
var usern = e.parameter.userN;
var name1 = e.parameter.name;
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var tM = sheet.getSheetByName('Archive');
var tR = tM.getLastRow()-1;
var tC = tM.getLastColumn();
var tD = tM.getDataRange().getValues();
for(var i = 0; i<tD.length; i++){
if(tD[i][11] == usern )
{
If anyone can figure out what i'm doing wrong or why it's not working as soon as I reference the entire column any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I am making a spreadsheet for people to submit information and when they submit the information on the entry sheet, the data is copied to a new sheet and then cleared from the entry sheet so that it is ready for another entry. When the new sheet is created, it is renamed and then shared with me so that I can view each sheet that people send in. Right now my script isn't working and I am not receiving the new sheets when they are made.
function Copy() {
var sss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var ss = sss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
var range = ss.getRange('A1:J30');
var strange = ss.getRange('A2:J30');
var data = range.getValues();
sss.appendRow(data[0]);
strange.clear();
var tss = SpreadsheetApp.create('New Entry');
var ts = tss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
ts.getRange(1, 1, data.length, data[0].length).setValues(data);
var r = ts.getRange('A2:A3');
r.getA1Notation() == 'A2';
tss.setName(r.getValue());
tss.addEditor("john.doe#gmail.com");
}
I have a script that will copy a line into another sheet when I enter a value in column 17 (the date when the file is closed).
I don't know why but before copying, the format changes and the date appears in numeric format
for example: 04/08/2017 => 42951
Any idea on what could be the problem?
Here is my script:
function onEdit(r) {
var sheet = r.source.getActiveSheet();
if(sheet.getName()!="Remboursements"){return}
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var source_sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Remboursements");
var target_sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Remboursements traités");
var range1 = r.range;
var columnOfCellEdited = range1.getColumn();
if (columnOfCellEdited === 17){
var source_range = source_sheet.getRange("A"+ range1.getRow()+":Q"+ range1.getRow());
var last_row = target_sheet.getLastRow();
target_sheet.insertRowAfter(last_row);
var target_range = target_sheet.getRange("A"+(last_row+1)+":Q"+(last_row+1));
source_range.copyTo(target_range);
source_sheet.deleteRow(range1.getRow())
}
}
Here's another way to do this:
function onEdit(r) {
if(r.source.getActiveSheet().getName()!="Remboursements"){return}
var source_sheet=r.source.getSheetByName("Remboursements");
var target_sheet=r.source.getSheetByName("Remboursements traités");
if (r.range.getColumn()==17)
{
var source_range=source_sheet.getRange("A"+ r.range.getRow() +":Q"+ r.range.getRow());
var values=source_range.getValues();
target_sheet.appendRow(values);
source_sheet.deleteRow(r.range.getRow())
}
}
