Script eror message

I have a big query that I am using in google scripts and I can't make it past the following as I keep getting the error.
TypeError: Cannot read property 'makeCopy' of undefined

Trying to sort and remove few columns before email it as an attachment using App Scripts but shows errors?

I am sending a Google sheet Tab to students and it is working fine. But before sending it to them, I need to sort the sheet using Column3 value and then remove column2, column4, column5, column7. But it shows errors:
"TypeError: The comparison function must be either a function or
undefined" at contents.sort() and contents.delete() in the codes
below.
I reviewed many posts but can't figure out the issue.
Function sendEmails(){
var sss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var ssID = sss.getId();
var sheetName = sss.getName();
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheet1 = sh.getSheetByName("TempDataSet");
var shID = sheet1.getSheetId().toString();
var subject = 'Your Attendance Record at BDU';
var body = 'Dear Student,'+ '\n\n' + 'Greetings! Please find the attendance record attached for your reference.' + '\n\n' + 'Thank you.';
var requestData = {"method": "GET", "headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer "+ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()}};
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/"+ ssID + "/export?format=xlsx&id="+ssID+"&gid="+shID;
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url , requestData);
var contents = result.getContent();
var column = 3;
contents.sort({column: column, ascending:true});
contents.delete({column: column2, column4, column5, column7});
var sheet2 = sh.getSheetByName('StudentList');
var data = sheet2.getLastRow();
var students = [];
var students = sheet2.getRange(2, 6, data).getValues();
for (var i=0; i<students.length; i++){ // you are looping through rows and selecting the 1st and only column index
if (students[i][0] !== ''){
MailApp.sendEmail(students[i][0].toString(), subject ,body, {attachments:[{fileName:sheetName+".xlsx", content:contents, mimeType:"application//xlsx"}]});
}
}
}

Explanation:
My suggestion would be to just create a copy of the TempDataSet sheet and do all the sort and delete columns operations on that sheet:
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheet = sh.getSheetByName("TempDataSet");
var sheet1 = sheet.copyTo(sh).setName('TempDataSet_temp');
var shID = sheet1.getSheetId().toString();
sheet1.getRange(2, 1, sheet.getLastRow() -1, sheet.getLastColumn()).sort({column: 3, ascending: true});
var columns_delete = [7,5,4,2];
columns_delete.forEach(col=>sheet1.deleteColumn(col));
then you can delete the temporary sheet after you saved it in the result variable:
sh.deleteSheet(sh.getSheetByName('TempDataSet_temp'))
Solution:
function sendEmails(){
var sss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var ssID = sss.getId();
var sheetName = sss.getName();
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheet = sh.getSheetByName("TempDataSet");
var sheet1 = sh.insertSheet('TempDataSet_temp');
sheet.getDataRange().copyTo(sheet1.getActiveRange(), SpreadsheetApp.CopyPasteType.PASTE_VALUES, false);
sheet.getDataRange().copyTo(sheet1.getActiveRange(), SpreadsheetApp.CopyPasteType.PASTE_FORMAT, false);
var shID = sheet1.getSheetId().toString();
sheet1.getRange(2, 1, sheet.getLastRow() -1, sheet.getLastColumn()).sort({column: 3, ascending: true});
var columns_delete = [7,5,4,2];
columns_delete.forEach(col=>sheet1.deleteColumn(col));
var subject = 'Your Attendance Record at BDU';
var body = 'Dear Student,'+ '\n\n' + 'Greetings! Please find the attendance record attached for your reference.' + '\n\n' + 'Thank you.';
var requestData = {"method": "GET", "headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer "+ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()}};
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/"+ ssID + "/export?format=xlsx&id="+ssID+"&gid="+shID;
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url , requestData);
var contents = result.getContent();
sh.deleteSheet(sh.getSheetByName('TempDataSet_temp'))
var sheet2 = sh.getSheetByName('StudentList');
var data = sheet2.getLastRow();
var students = [];
var students = sheet2.getRange(2, 6, data).getValues();
for (var i=0; i<students.length; i++){ // you are looping through rows and selecting the 1st and only column index
if (students[i][0] !== ''){
MailApp.sendEmail(students[i][0].toString(), subject ,body, {attachments:[{fileName:sheetName+".xlsx", content:contents, mimeType:"MICROSOFT_EXCEL"}]});
}
}
}

How to get the cell values (Sheet1 from Google Form, Sheet2 from Formula) to google doc template

I have 2 sheets. Sheet1 is from Google Form and query them to Sheet2 then make the formula. I would like to get the cell values from them to Google Doc template and send the email. I can get values from Sheet1 but can't from Sheet2. Please help me solve this problem. Thank you.
enter image description here
enter image description here
function onFormSubmit(e){
var docs_email = e.values[1];
var Name = e.values[2];
var Date1 = e.values[3];
var Date2 = e.values[4];
var Money1 = e.values[5];
var Money2 = e.values[6];
//Values from Sheet2
var TotalDate = e.values[7];
var Money3 = e.values[8];
var TotalMoney = e.values[9];
var copyId = DriveApp.getFileById('Doc ID') //Temp document ID
.makeCopy('Report-'+Name)
.getId();
var copyDoc = DocumentApp.openById(copyId);
copyDoc.getBody()
var copyBody = copyDoc.getActiveSection();
copyBody.replaceText('keyName', Name);
copyBody.replaceText('keyDate1', Date1);
copyBody.replaceText('keyDate2', Date2);
copyBody.replaceText('keyMoney1', Money1);
copyBody.replaceText('keyMoney2', Money2);
copyBody.replaceText('keyTotalDate', TotalDate);
copyBody.replaceText('keyMoney3', Money3);
copyBody.replaceText('keyTotalMoney', TotalMoney);
copyDoc.saveAndClose();
//convert to pdf
var pdf = DriveApp.getFileById(copyId).getAs("application/pdf");
//Send the email
var subject = "Your Report";
var body = "Dear " +Name+" \n\n"+"<br> This is your report";
GmailApp.sendEmail(docs_email, subject, body,{htmlBody: body, attachments: pdf});
}

How about this answer?
Modification points:
In order to retrieve the values from the columns "H" to "J" in "Sheet2", getValues is used.
From your question, I could understand that the columns "H" to "J" have the formula. So I thought that getLastRow() might not be able to be directly used. So I thought that it is required to retrieve the 1st empty row at the column "A".
When above points are reflected to your script, it becomes as follows.
Modified script:
Please modify your script as follows.
From:
var TotalDate = e.values[7];
var Money3 = e.values[8];
var TotalMoney = e.values[9];
To:
SpreadsheetApp.flush(); // This might be not required.
var sheet = e.source.getSheetByName("Sheet2"); // Values are retrieved from the sheet name of "Sheet2".
var row = 0;
for (var i = 1; i < sheet.getLastRow(); i++) {
if (sheet.getRange(i, 1).isBlank()) {
row = i - 1;
break;
}
}
var [TotalDate, Money3, TotalMoney] = sheet.getRange(row, 8, 1, 3).getValues()[0];

error in assigning values to google spreadsheet cell

I am new to google script. I want to assign a value to variable from spreadsheet cell and after doing arithmetic operations, want to assign it to particular cell in spreadsheet.
I am using following code :
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sh = ss.getSheetByName("PATTERNS");
var dd = sh.getRange("C4").getValue();
var ee = sh.getRange("D4").getValue();
var x = dd - ee;
sh.getRange("P4").setValue(x);
}
however, value at cell P4 is showing error : #NUM!
please help!
also i want to use for loop for cell no such as
for (var i = 1, i <60, i++)
{
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sh = ss.getSheetByName("PATTERNS");
var dd = sh.getRange("C[i]").getValue();
var ee = sh.getRange("D[i]").getValue();
var x = dd - ee;
sh.getRange("P[i]").setValue(x);
}
How to get this? Can someone please help me?

Try this:
function myFunction() {
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sh=ss.getSheetByName("PATTERNS");
var rg=sh.getDataRange();
var vA=rg.getValues();
var change=false;
for(var i=0;i<vA.length;i++)
{
if(!isNan(vA[i][2]) && !isNan(vA[i][3]))
{
vA[i][15]=vA[i][2]-vA[i][3];
change=true;
}
}
if(change)
{
rg.setValues(vA);
}
}

Try this code
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sh = ss.getSheetByName("PATTERNS");
var dd = sh.getRange("C4").getValue();
var ee = sh.getRange("D4").getValue();
var x = parseInt(dd) - parseInt(ee);
sh.getRange("P4").setValue(x);
}

Passing a value to other sheet

I have a value in my sheet where I want to pass the value to other sheet using Google App Script, I have a simple code that can get the value but I don't know on how I can pass it to other sheet and create a new row in other sheet.
function doit() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var FromSheet = ss.getSheetByName('s1');
var ToSheet = ss.getSheetByName('s2');
var firstname = fromsheet.getRange('A2');
var lastname = fromsheet.getRange('B2');
var data = firstname.getValue();
var data1 = lastname.getValue();
//To sheet code???
}

You can simplify a bit the code and it i almost same code to paste value.
function doit() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var FromSheet = ss.getSheetByName('s1');
var ToSheet = ss.getSheetByName('s2');
var firstname = fromsheet.getRange('A2').getValue();
var lastname = fromsheet.getRange('B2').getValue();
//Copy to others sheet
ToSheet.getRange('A2').setValue(firstname);
ToSheet.getRange('A2').setValue(firstname);
}
You can also copy the data with copyValuesToRange()
see : https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/range#copyvaluestorangegridid-column-columnend-row-rowend
code example from site :
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var FromSheet = ss.getSheetByName('s1');
var ToSheet = ss.getSheetByName('s2');
var range = FromSheet.getRange("A2:B2");
range.copyTo(ToSheet.getRange("A2"), {contentsOnly:true});
Stéphane

Your code has a couple errors in it:
function doit() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet() // missing ;
var FromSheet = ss.getSheetByName('s1');
var ToSheet = ss.getSheetByName('s2');
var firstname = fromsheet.getRange('A2'); // fromsheet must be FromSheet (Caps Matter)
var lastname = fromsheet.getRange('B2'); // same here
var data = firstname.getValue();
var data1 = lastname.getValue();
//To sheet code???
}
Here's what I would do:
function doit() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var FromSheet = ss.getSheetByName('s1');
var ToSheet = ss.getSheetByName('s2');
var firstname = FromSheet.getRange('A2').getValue(); // simplify lines
var lastname = FromSheet.getRange('B2').getValue(); // simplify lines
ToSheet.getRange("CELL TO PUT FIRSTNAME").setValue(firstname);
ToSheet.getRange("CELL TO PUT LASTNAME").setValue(lastname);
}
