Google App Script: The number of rows in the data doesn't match the number of rows in the range

I am writing a Google App Script, and I've gotten stuck. I am a beginner.
I have a .csv from our SQL server with 943 rows that is uploaded to my google drive. This script takes the contents of the .csv and moves it to a Google Sheet for use on my website.
It is working as long as the number of rows in the csv doesn't change. As items are added or removed from our web store, the script will not work and throws the error:
"Exception: The number of rows in the data does not match the number of rows in the range. The data has 943 but the range has 944."
function CSVCopyPaste(sourcelink,sourcerange,destilink,destisheet,destirange {
//Source link
var file = DriveApp.getFilesByName('CommercialAvailability.csv').next();
var csvData = Utilities.parseCsv(file.getBlob().getDataAsString());
// Destination
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(destilink);
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(destisheet);
// transfer to destination range
sheet.getRange(destirange).clearContent();
sheet.getRange(destirange).setValues(csvData);
}
The second function is called CommercialAvailability and it is the function I'm actually running to accomplish the result. It is:
function CommercialAvailability() {
SettlemyreCSVCopyPaste(
"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-V040x0t6SWT14xx6N22MlVFhHnj9XE4",
"A3:C",
"https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s8kzVxmJ6v3akpoZ8N2VoGMZ90U2kozlSXdRHUU2BAg/edit#gid=0",
"Commercial Availability",
"B6:D945"
)
}
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,
Alex

Alex, the issue is that your range is fixed (B6:D945) but the size of the data in the CSV is variable.
Try:
function CSVCopyPaste(sourcelink,sourcerange,destilink,destisheet,destirangestart) {
//Source link
var file = DriveApp.getFilesByName('CommercialAvailability.csv').next();
var csvData = Utilities.parseCsv(file.getBlob().getDataAsString());
//we need to check if the CSV is not empty
if (csvData.length > 0){
// Destination
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(destilink);
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(destisheet);
var rangestart = sheet.getRange(destirangestart);
var writeRange = sheet.getRange(rangestart.getRow(),rangestart.getColumn(),csvData.length,csvData[0].length);
var clearRange = sheet.getRange(rangestart.getRow(),rangestart.getColumn(),sheet.getMaxRows()-rangestart.getRow(),csvData[0].length);
// transfer to destination range
clearRange.clearContent();
writeRange.setValues(csvData);
}
}
function CommercialAvailability() {
CSVCopyPaste(
"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-V040x0t6SWT14xx6N22MlVFhHnj9XE4",
"A3:C",
"https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s8kzVxmJ6v3akpoZ8N2VoGMZ90U2kozlSXdRHUU2BAg/edit#gid=0",
"Commercial Availability",
"B6"
)
}
Note that I haven't tested it. Also, you have unused arguments in CSVCopyPaste that you may want to get rid of.

App Script new Google Sheet creation issue

I am trying to write an App Script that takes string data from multiple different spreadsheets (completely separate documents) and puts them all in a new spreadsheet. When I run the logger, it shows me all the data I want. I want each piece of data to show up in Column A, but when I run my script, it only puts 1 data point in the spreadsheet instead of all of them. Can someone give me some guidance? Here is my code:
function pullTogether() {
var files = DriveApp.getFolderById('Folder ID').searchFiles('title != "nothing"');
const rangeName = 'Sheet1!B2:C';
while(files.hasNext()){
var xFile = files.next();
var name = xFile.getId();
const values = Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.get(name, rangeName).values;
for (const row in values) {
var a1 = (values[row][0]);
Logger.log(a1);
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("ID of new spreadsheet"); //I have the real ID in my code
var cell = ss.getRange("A2");
cell.setValue(a1);
}
}
}

I believe your goal is as follows.
You want to retrieve the values from the column "B" of each Spreadsheet under the specific folder.
You want to put the retrieved values to the column "A" of the destination sheet.
Modification points:
About but when I run my script, it only puts 1 data point in the spreadsheet instead of all of them., when I saw your script, the retrieved value is always put to the cell "A2" of the destination sheet. I think that this might be the reason for your issue.
In your script, I thought that when the following flow is used, the process cost will become low. By this flow, your issue can be also removed.
In your situation, even when Sheets API is not used, the script might work using getValues().
When these points are reflected in your script, it becomes as follows.
Modified script:
Please set the folder ID and the destination Spreadsheet ID.
function pullTogether() {
// Retrieve values from each Spreadsheet.
var values = [];
var files = DriveApp.getFolderById('Folder ID').searchFiles(`title != 'nothing' and mimeType='${MimeType.GOOGLE_SHEETS}'`);
var sheetName = 'Sheet1'
while (files.hasNext()) {
var xFile = files.next();
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.open(xFile).getSheetByName(sheetName);
if (sheet) {
var v = sheet.getRange("B2:B" + sheet.getLastRow()).getValues();
values = [...values, ...v];
}
}
// Put values to the destination sheet.
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("ID of new spreadsheet"); //I have the real ID in my code
var dstSheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
dstSheet.getRange(2, 1, values.length, values[0].length).setValues(values);
}
Note:
Although I'm not sure about your actual situation, when the above script didn't work by the large data, please modify as follows.
From
dstSheet.getRange(2, 1, values.length, values[0].length).setValues(values);
To
Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.update({ values }, ss.getId(), `'${dstSheet.getSheetName()}'!A2`, { valueInputOption: "USER_ENTERED" });

Google Sheets, stack report from multiple workbooks

Goal: To stack data from 90+ google workbooks, all with the same sheet name, into the one master sheet for reporting
Info:
All worksheets have the same number of columns.
I have the following script but it does not run properly, I think the issue is with how I am caching / Pushing the data to the array before pasting to the output sheet.
I am trying to build an array then paste it in one go.
The tables I am stacking have 47 columns, unknown number of rows.
The part that opens the sheets is all working perfectly.
// Get the data from the worksheets
var indexsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("Index");
var outputsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("Output");
var response = SpreadsheetApp.getUi().prompt('Current Cycle', 'Enter Cycle Name Exactly in YY-MMM-Cycle# format', SpreadsheetApp.getUi().ButtonSet.OK_CANCEL)
var CurrentCycleName = response.getResponseText()
// Assign datasets to variables
var indexdata = indexsheet.getDataRange().getValues();
// For each workbook in the index sheet, open it and copy the data to a cache
indexdata.forEach(function(row, r) {
try {
//open Entity specific workbook
var workbookid = indexsheet.getRange(r + 1, 7, 1, 1).getValues();
var Entityworkbook = SpreadsheetApp.openById(workbookid)
// Open workhseet
Entitysheet.getSheetByName(CurrentCycleName)
// Add PR Data to cache - stacking for all countrys
var PRDataCache = Entitysheet.getDataRange().push()
} catch {}
})
// Set the all values of the sheet at once
outputsheet.getRange(r + 1, 14).setValue('Issue Splitting Data')
Entitysheet.getRange(2, 1, PRDataCache.length || 1, 47).setValues(PRDataCache)
};
This is the index tab where we are getting the workbookid from to open each file
This is the output file, we are stacking all data from each country

I believe your goal is as follows.
You want to retrieve the Spreadsheet IDs from the column "G" of "Index" sheet.
You want to give the specific sheet name using a dialog.
You want to retrieve all values from the specification sheet in all Spreadsheets. In this case, you want to remove the header row.
You want to put the retrieved values on "Output" sheet.
In this case, how about the following sample script?
Sample script:
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var indexsheet = ss.getSheetByName("Index");
var outputsheet = ss.getSheetByName("Output");
var response = SpreadsheetApp.getUi().prompt('Current Cycle', 'Enter Cycle Name Exactly in YY-MMM-Cycle# format', SpreadsheetApp.getUi().ButtonSet.OK_CANCEL);
var CurrentCycleName = response.getResponseText();
var ids = indexsheet.getRange("G1:G" + indexsheet.getLastRow()).getValues();
var values = ids.reduce((ar, [id]) => {
try {
var [, ...values] = SpreadsheetApp.openById(id).getSheetByName(CurrentCycleName).getDataRange().getValues();
ar = [...ar, ...values];
} catch (e) {
console.log(`"${id}" was not found.`);
}
return ar;
}, []);
if (values.length == 0) return;
// If the number of columns is different in all Spreadsheets, please use the following script.
// var maxLen = Math.max(...values.map(r => r.length));
// values = values.map(r => r.length < maxLen ? [...r, ...Array(maxLen - r.length).fill("")] : r);
outputsheet.getRange(outputsheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1, values.length, values[1].length).setValues(values);
}
Note:
When the number of Spreadsheet IDs is large, the processing time might be over 6 minutes. I'm worried about this. At that time, how about separating the Spreadsheet IDs?

Loop through Object of Sheets JavaScript

I'm using import * as XLSX from 'xlsx' and I'm trying to loop through an Object containing excel sheets. Everything was fine and dandy when I had one spreadsheet since I could easily access the length. My specifications changed and I need to be able to send to a DB only specific worksheets the user selects from the excel file. I don't know much about JavaScript but for some reason, I had to parse the data after stringifying it to be able to recognize the headers from the excel file. This is some of the code I have:
if (this.selectedDepartment.includes("CSET")) {
var sheet_name = workbook.SheetNames[4];
var worksheet = workbook.Sheets[sheet_name];
var classData = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json(worksheet, { raw: true });
XLSX.utils.book_append_sheet(newWorkbook, classData, "CSET");
}
if (this.selectedDepartment.includes("COMM")) {
sheet_name = workbook.SheetNames[5];
var worksheet = workbook.Sheets[sheet_name];
classData = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json(worksheet, { raw: true });
XLSX.utils.book_append_sheet(newWorkbook, classData, "COMM");
}
var classData_JSON = JSON.stringify(newWorkbook);
var json = JSON.parse(classData_JSON);
Below, trying to store into my array:
for (var i = 0; i < json.length; i++)
{
var _courseID = json[i].Subject + " " + this.courseID[i];
this._newClasses[i] = {
'CRN': json[i].CRN, 'Subject': json[i].Subject, 'CourseID': _courseID, 'Section': json[i].Section, 'UserID': json[i].UserID, 'Max': json[i].Max,
'CourseComments': json[i]["Course Comments"], 'Monday': this.Monday[i], 'Tuesday': this.Tuesday[i], 'Wednesday': this.Wednesday[i], 'Thursday': this.Thursday[i]
// more code
this.classService.Put_Classs(this._newClasses[i]).then(classData => classData.subscribe());
My problem if you look in the picture is I can't find a way to loop through one sheet at a time, get the sheet name during runtime, and then loop through that sheet and store into my array before moving on to the next one. COMM and CSET both have the length property but I'm not sure how to access this.

Cannot Read Sheet Range From Null

I have a function that allows me to import spreadsheet data from my gmail to Google Sheets. Previously, the spreadsheet data had only had 6 columns to import. Now, some new changes are made and a 7th column was added. After this change was implemented, my function no longer works and Google Sheets throws this error. May I please have some assistance?
So, as I'm looking at this, the intended functionality looks right to me. Skip the first 3 rows (netdata) and take everything below. Could it be the + 1, 1 ?
The Error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'getRange' of null
My import function:
function importCSVFromGmail() {
var sheetName = "SHEET_NAME"; // Name of sheet tab.
var threads = GmailApp.search("from:EMAIL HERE label:LABEL HERE"); // "from:recipient email here label:name of your filter/label here"
var messages = threads[0].getMessages();
var message = messages[messages.length - 1];
var attachment = message.getAttachments()[0]; // [0] will by default look for only 1 attachment. If there are more than two attachment increase value. ex: [1] , [2]
var data = [];
if (attachment.getContentType() == MimeType.CSV) { // This will look for a CSV file type first
data = Utilities.parseCsv(attachment.getDataAsString(), ",");
} else if (attachment.getContentType() == MimeType.MICROSOFT_EXCEL || attachment.getContentType() == MimeType.MICROSOFT_EXCEL_LEGACY) { // If attachment is an xls, this line will look at the content to determine and convert accordingly.
var tempFile = Drive.Files.insert({title: "temp", mimeType: MimeType.GOOGLE_SHEETS}, attachment).id;
data = SpreadsheetApp.openById(tempFile).getSheets()[0].getDataRange().getValues();
Drive.Files.trash(tempFile);
}
if (data.length > 0) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(sheetName);
var netdata = data.slice(3); // This will skip the number of rows starting from the top.
sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1, netdata.length, netdata[0].length).setValues(netdata );
}
}
I'm think the issue is here:
sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1, netdata.length, netdata[0].length).setValues(netdata );

The error message indicates that the issue is with the sheet variable being null. That happens when there is no sheet by the name SHEET_NAME in the spreadsheet.
To fix the error, replace SHEET_NAME with the name of the sheet you want the function to work with. Check for things like leading and trailing whitespace in the sheet's name.
