Hi I have a working program to pull data from one sheet to another sheet and place in the relevant cells, however with one column I want to change the results which reads a "K" from the source sheet and write an "A" to the target sheet using a if function but I can only seem to do one cell and not the full column. How can I do this for multiple cells? If I try.getRange("F18:41") it doesn't seem to work.
Please see the code below:
var sss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('....'); // sss = source spreadsheet
var ss = sss.getSheetByName('.....); // ss = source sheet
//Get full range of data sheet 1
var TypeWire = ss.getRange("F18");
//get A1 notation identifying the range
var A16Range = TypeWire.getA1Notation();
//get the data values in range
var SDataSixteen = TypeWire.getValues();
var tss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('.....'); // tss = target spreadsheet
var ts = tss.getSheetByName('....'); // ts = target sheet
//set the target range to the values of the source data
ts.getRange("C40:C61").setValues(SDataSeven);
if (SDataSixteen == "K")
{
ts.getRange("L16").setValue("A");
}
}
The getValues() method of Class Range returns a multidimentional (2D) array. The elements of the "outer" array are arrays that represent rows. The elements of the inner arrays are objects that represent the cell values for the corresponding row.
There are several ways to do what you are looking for. Perhaps the easier to understand is the technique shown in the Cooper's answer: Use nested for statements.
Use one for statement to iterate over the rows, then another for loop to iterate over the row cells.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Using loops to write single cells values is very slow. For recommendations please read https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/support/best-practices

I'm really new to google sheets app script. I need an script which finds a date in row 1, selects the entire row and copy and paste values only. This is because I have formulas in each column which will only work if row 1 matches =today().
To get the range values and save into a variable (copy):
var book = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(url); //url=spread sheet url
var sheet = book.getSheetByName("sheet name");
var range = sheet.getRange(a, b, x, y).getValues();
//a=inicial row ,b=inicial column, x=last row, y=last column
// range will be a bidimensional array
// "A1" cell value will be: range[0][0]
To append in new cells (paste): //you have to iterate the array
sheet.appendRow([range]);
I have a large google sheet with 30275 rows and 133 columns in a google sheet. I want to filter the data and copy column AZ to another spreadsheet.
Link to spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aiuHIYzlCM7zO_5oZ0aOCKDwPo06syXhWvhQMKgJE2I/edit?usp=sharing
I have been trying to follow this link
I am not that familiar with javascript and the code is designed to exclude items from filter rather than including items on filter. I have 500+ items to exclude so need to work out something that will be efficient in filtering large dataset in short time before execution limit is reached.
Here is my code so far. Any help to get this working would be appreciated.
NOTE: Filter/ Query with importrange formulas dont work due to the large volume of data. So I need an efficient script to filter large dataset and move them to another sheet before execution time limit.
function filtered() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1u9z_8J-tvTZaW4adO6kCk7bkWeB0pwPcZQdjBazpExI');
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
var destsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('JockeyList');
var demosheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Betting data - Demo');
var jockey = demosheet.getRange('L14').getValues();
// Get full (non-filtered) data
var values = sheet.getRange('A:EC').getValues();
// Apply filter criteria here
//Logger.log(jockey);
var hiddenValues = jockey;
values = values.filter(function(v) {
return hiddenValues.indexOf(v[51]) == 1;
});
Logger.log(values.length);
// Set filtered data on the target sheet
destsheet.getRange(10, 5, values.length, 2).setValues(values);
}
Ok so it seems like you want to copy only the values from AZ in 'Sheet1' that are equal to whatever string value is contained in cell L14 of sheet 'Betting data - Demo.' If that is the case, then here is a change to your original code that will accomplish that:
function filtered() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1u9z_8J-tvTZaW4adO6kCk7bkWeB0pwPcZQdjBazpExI');
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
// this assumes that your destsheet and demosheet are in the same spreadsheet. Keep in mind that opening spreadsheets with SpreadsheetApp is costly so you want to minimize your calls to new sheets.
var destsheet = ss.getSheetByName('JockeyList');
var demosheet = ss.getSheetByName('Betting data - Demo');
var jockey = demosheet.getRange('L14').getValue();
var searchTerm = new RegExp(jockey);
// Get full (non-filtered) data
var values = sheet.getRange('A:EC').getValues();
// Apply filter criteria here and return ONLY THE VALUE IN COLUMN AZ
var filteredValues = values.reduce(function(resultArray, row) {
if (searchTerm.test(row[51])) resultArray.push([row[51]]);
return resultArray;
}, [])
// Set filtered data on the target sheet
// Note* not clear why you are starting at row 10, but as is this will overwrite all of the data in column 5 of destsheet starting from row 10 every time this function runs
destsheet.getRange(10, 5, filteredValues.length, 1).setValues(filteredValues);
}
As it says in the code sample, this will only copy and paste the value in column AZ of 'sheet1'. It does not alter 'sheet1' in any way. If that is really all you want to do, then this function works, but it's overkill. Since you are just filtering values in AZ against a single string value, it would be more efficient to simply count the number of times that string occurs in column AZ and then add the string that number of times to your destination sheet.
Also note that your original function is pasting values into destsheet into a constant row (row 10). That means that every time your function runs, the data from row 10 on will be overwritten by whatever data you are copying from 'sheet1'
It's very straight forward to get a sheets cell values into an array. Then you can edit any individual cell or cells you want (In the array). Then write that same array back to the sheet. Like below.
var adSpendExprtSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Ad Spend Export");
var adSpendExprtSheetData = adSpendExprtSheet.getRange(1 ,1, adSpendExprtSheet.getLastRow(), adSpendExprtSheet.getLastColumn()).getValues();
Then you can change values in the array just saved.
adSpendExprtSheetData[0][0] = "Changing first cell in array"
Then we can use this same array. Which we have updated. Passing it back to be written on the actual sheet.
adSpendExprtSheet.getRange(1 ,1, adSpendExprtSheet.getLastRow(), adSpendExprtSheet.getLastColumn()).setValues(adSpendExprtSheetData);
Can we do this for setting colours?
Right now I would have to get the range of individual cells. Then use setBackground("#00ff00");
Can I put all colour values into an array? Change the colours of cells with a HEX value. Then write that array back to the sheet?
I need to optimize my script. Instead of taking 5 minutes. It could be done in seconds. By reading and writing to the sheet only a few times. Not hundreds.
I would appreciate any help!
In your case, how about using getBackgrounds() and setBackgrounds(color)? In this case, you can use it like getValues() and setValues() in your question. When your script is modified, it becomes as follows.
Modified script:
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var adSpendExprtSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Ad Spend Export");
var range = adSpendExprtSheet.getRange(1 ,1, adSpendExprtSheet.getLastRow(), adSpendExprtSheet.getLastColumn());
var backgrounds = range.getBackgrounds();
backgrounds[0][0] = "#FF0000"; // This is red color as a sample.
range.setBackgrounds(backgrounds);
In this case, the value retrieved with getBackgrounds() is 2 dimensional array. And it can be put to the cells using setBackgrounds(). By this, I think that the process cost will be able to be reduced than that of getBackground and setBackground.
Note:
If you want to set one color to the range, you can also use the following script.
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var adSpendExprtSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Ad Spend Export");
var range = adSpendExprtSheet.getRange(1 ,1, adSpendExprtSheet.getLastRow(), adSpendExprtSheet.getLastColumn());
range.setBackground("#FF0000");

I have a beautiful set of code provided from one of the best community member. What this code does is it reads a cell value from Google spreadsheet and then automatically check the checkbox of a html form. Now I want to make that code read a range of spreadsheet meaning making the values store in array and perform the same function in html form.
Here is the Javascript which reads a single cell value:-
function getValues(){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var match1 = sheet.getRange("B2").getValue();
return match1;
}
My new JS code has changed say
match1 = sheet.getRange(2,2,5,1).getValue();
how should my HTML code would change?
Here is the Index.html which performs the auto checkbox function:-
<script>
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(checkDefault).getValues();
function checkDefault(val){
var checkBoxName = "name"+val;
document.getElementById(checkBoxName).checked = true;
}
</script>
Any help is appreciated. Thank You!
To read ranges you need to use the range's getValues() method, not getValue(); getValue returns the top leftmost cell's contents.
getValues() will return an array of rows. Each row being an array of cells within that row.
Be aware that it returns an array of arrays, even if it's just one column wide or one row high.
So if you want an array you can
var match1 = sheet.getRange("B2").getValues().map(function(row) {return row[0]});
In the script try
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(checkDefault).getValues().forEach(checkDefault);
I'm new to Google Apps Script and I'm trying to make a script where I'll take a single string value and copy to multiple rows in a google sheet. I've taken an array to save the single value multiple times. But still I can't get it done. Every time I run the script, I get this error,
Cannot convert Array to Object[][]
Here are my codes,
function myFun() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SHEET_ID);
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Form Responses");
var new_vals = sheet.getRange(2, 1, sheet.getLastRow(), sheet.getLastColumn()).getValues();
var master_ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var master_sheet = master_ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var lr = master_sheet.getLastRow()+1;
var ss_real_name = "District";
var ss_real_names = [];
for (var i=0; i<new_vals.length; i++)
{
ss_real_names.push(ss_real_name);
}
master_sheet.getRange(lr, 1, new_vals.length).setValues(ss_real_names);
}
Is there something wrong in my code? How can I save the single string value in multiple rows?
Google Apps script writes values as arrays of arrays with every array inside of the outer array being a row and the elements in the inner arrays going into the columns.
If you want to write the data as rows you need to create an array filled with one element arrays. Try ss_real_names.push([ss_real_name]);.
If you wanted to write them as a column vector you could just say setValues([ss_real_names]) instead.
