I have a spreadsheet where I am able to filter the sheet based on a value on a column. I can copy the filtered data using isRowHiddenByFilter. But this does it one row at a time. I am looking for some input on how I can copy say 200 rows that I obtain after using a filter to be copied to another spreadsheet all at once and not evaluating 200 rows.
This is what I have working:
var criteria = SpreadsheetApp.newFilterCriteria().whenTextContains("I do NOT
plan").build();
ss.getActiveSheet().getFilter().setColumnFilterCriteria(4,criteria);
var nrsheet = ss.getSheetByName("Not Returning");
for (var i = 2; i < sheet.getLastRow(); i++)
{
if(!sheet.isRowHiddenByFilter(i))
{
row_data = sheet.getRange(i, 1, 1, sheet.getLastColumn()).getValues();
one_arr_nr = row_data.join().split(",");
nrsheet.appendRow(one_arr_nr);
}
}
This is what I would like to do:
Remove the for loop to evaluate each row and be able to copy what I see on the spreadsheet to be copied to the Not Returning sheet. Any help on how I can proceed?

I have a script that looks into values in column G and if the correspondent cell in column A is empty, sends me an email.
--- WHAT WORKS --
It works ok for static values: it sends one email per each not empty cell in column G for which there is no value in column A
--- WHAT DOESN'T WORK --
It sends several emails for what I assume it's every Column G cell (empty or not) when the column A values are fetched from another tab. That way it's like all G and A cells have data, so I get multiple unwanted emails.
This is the script code:
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const sh = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet to send emails');
const data = sh.getRange('A2:G'+sh.getLastRow()).getValues();
data.forEach(r=>{
let overdueValue = r[0];
if (overdueValue === ""){
let name = r[6];
let message = 'Text ' + name;
let subject = 'TEXT.'
MailApp.sendEmail('myemail#gmail.com', subject, message);
}
});
}
And this is the link to the test sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OKQlm0PjEjDB7PXvt34Og2fa4vPZWnvLazTEawEtOXg/edit?usp=sharing
In this test case, I "should" only get one email, related to ID 55555. With the script as is, I get one related to 55555 and several others "undefined".
To avoid e-mail spam, I didn't add the script to that sheet but it shows the "Vlookup" idea.
Can anyone give me a hand, please?
Thank you in advance
Issue:
The issue with your original script is that the sh.getLastRow returns 1000 (it also processes those rows that doesn't have contents, result to undefined)
Fix 1: Get specific last row of column G:
const gValues = sh.getRange('G1:G').getValues();
const gLastRow = gValues.filter(String).length;
or
Fix 2: Filter data
const data = sh.getRange('A2:G' + sh.getLastRow()).getValues().filter(r => r[6]);
Note:
As Kris mentioned in the comments, there is a specific case where getting the last row above will fail (same with getNextDataCell). This will not properly get the last row WHEN there are blank rows in between the first and last row of the column. If you have this kind of data, then use the 2nd method which is filtering the data.
If your data in column G does not have blank cells in between the first and last row, then any method should work.
I checked your test sheet, and sh.getLastRow() is 1000.
OPTION 1
If column G won't have empty cells between filled ones, then you can do this:
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet to send emails");
// get the first cell in column G
var gHeader = sheet.getRange(1, 7);
// equivelent of using CTRL + down arrow to find the last da
var lastRow = gcell.getNextDataCell(SpreadsheetApp.Direction.DOWN).getRow();
const data = sheet.getRange(2, 1, lastRow, 7).getValues();
OPTION 2
Add another condition to your code - like this:
data.forEach(r=>{
let overdueValue = r[0];
let name = r[6]
// check if the value in col A is blankd and col G is not blank
if (overdueValue === "" && name !== ""){
let message = 'Text ' + name;
let subject = 'TEXT.'
MailApp.sendEmail('myemail#gmail.com', subject, message);
}
});
And to speed it up, use a named range to limit how many rows it has to iterate through:
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const data = ss.getRangeByName("Your_NamedRange_Here").getValues();
I've done some reading but my limited knowledge on scripts is making things difficult. I want to:
Copy a variable number of rows data range, known colums, from one sheet titled 'Download'
Paste that data in a new sheet titled 'Trade History' from Column B
In the new sheet, add today's date formatted (DD/MM/YYYY) in a new column A for each record copied
The data in worksheet 'Download' uses IMPORTHTML
The data copied from Download to store a historical record needs a date in Column A
I've managed to get 1 and 2 working, but can't work out the 3rd. See current script below.
function recordHistory() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(),
sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Trade_History');
var source = sheet.getRange("a2:E2000");
ss.getSheetByName('Download').getRange('A2:E5000').copyTo(sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow()+1, 2))
}
You need to use Utilities.formatDate() to format today's date to DD/MM/YYYY.
Because you're copying one set of values, and then next to it (in column A), pasting another, I altered your code a bit as well.
function recordHistory() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(),
destinationSheet = ss.getSheetByName('Trade_History');
var sourceData = ss.getSheetByName('Download').getDataRange().getValues();
for (var i=0; i<sourceData.length; i++) {
var row = sourceData[i];
var today = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), 'GMT+10', 'dd/MM/yyyy'); // AEST is GMT+10
row.unshift(today); // Places data at the beginning of the row array
}
destinationSheet.getRange(destinationSheet.getLastRow()+1, // Append to existing data
1, // Start at Column A
sourceData.length, // Number of new rows to be added (determined from source data)
sourceData[0].length // Number of new columns to be added (determined from source data)
).setValues(sourceData); // Printe the values
}
Start by getting the values of the source data. This returns an array that can be looped through to add today's date. Once the date has been added to all of the source data, determine the range boundaries for where it will be printed. Rather than simply selecting the start cell as could be done with the copyTo() method, the full dimensions now have to be defined. Finally, print the values to the defined range.
I have a Google Sheet where information from a Google Form is dumped. Two of the columns create a date range (columns C and G) and I would like for the sheet to automatically create a new row of information for every date of the range and copy all the other information from the original row for every row that is created. In the end, every date in the range has it's own row regardless of it being 2 days or 25 and all the the information gathered through the form be present for each day. If there is not a date in column G, it is only a one day trip and there is no need for additional rows. To make things more difficult when someone submits a form, the information is entered into the row directly beneath the last one that it filled, so these new rows filled by the date range will need to be down the sheet, possibly beginning at row 2000 or more as this sheet will have a lot of information in a few months. As you may see in the sample, there is another sheet in the workbook that performs all the sorting. Thanks for any help.
Sample Document
You will need to create a form submit event and attach the following code to it. Also you'll need to create a sheet name 'ResponseReview'.
function formSubmitEvent1(e)
{
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.openById('SpreadsheetID');
var sht=ss.getSheetByName('ResponseReview');
sht.appendRow(e.values);
}
The above code will need the SpreadsheetId in the openById Method. This code will append any new rows to the end of the ResponseReview sheet.
The code below will expand any entrees that have a date in column 3 and 7 and it will also remove the end date in column 7 from that first row. I use the fact that if column 3 is not empty and column 7 is not and column 7 is no equal to column 3 then that's a row that needs to be expanded. So I have to remove the end date so that it won't continue to get expanded when it's run again in the future. We could figure something else out if you need to keep than end date. We could add a don't expand column at the end.
function convertRangetoRows()
{
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sht=ss.getSheetByName('ResponseReview');
var rng=sht.getDataRange();
var rngA=rng.getValues();
var rngB=[];
var day=86400000;
rngB.push(rngA[0]);
for(var i=1;i<rngA.length;i++)
{
rngB.push(rngA[i]);
if(rngA[i][2] && rngA[i][6] && rngA[i][2]!=rngA[i][6])
{
var row=rngA[i].slice();//returns a new copy of the array by value
rngA[i][6]='';//deletes the end date by reference so it also deletes the one thats already been pushed into rngB
var dt0=new Date(row[2]);
var dt1=new Date(row[6]);
var days=(dt1.valueOf()-dt0.valueOf())/day;
var dt=dt0.valueOf();
for(j=0;j<days;j++)
{
dt+=day;
row[2]=Utilities.formatDate(new Date(dt), Session.getScriptTimeZone(), "MM/dd/yyyy");//original array unchanged
row[6]='';//original array unchanged
rngB.push(row.slice());//push in a copy
}
}
var intermediate='nothing';
}
var outrng=sht.getRange(1,1,rngB.length,rngB[0].length);
outrng.setValues(rngB);
var end='the end is near';
}
This is what my spreadsheet looks like before running the expansion function:
And After:
And now you can leave the sheet linked to the form alone and let it be an archive for submitted data.
How can you display the total quantity of all selected records from a list page on a form part?
Your question is pretty open ended, but here is some sample code I wrote to loop over the selected records so you can "do" something with it. I just chose SalesLine as a sample table buffer that you might select.
int i;
Qty totalQty;
// Make this your data source
FormDataSource fds;
// This is an array of what records are marked
Array markedRecords = fds.recordsMarked();
// This is the table buffer that you can look at
// when looping over the selected records
SalesLine salesLine;
// This loops over the selected records so you can "do" something
i = 1;
while (i <= markedRecords.lastIndex())
{
salesLine = fds.cursor(markedRecords.value(i));
totalQty += salesLine.SalesQty;
i++;
}
Ahab stated in 2010: the complex looking number based on the Timestamp has one important property, the number can not change when rows are deleted or inserted.
As long as the submitted data is not changed by inserting deleting rows the simple formula =ArrayFormula(ROW(A2:A) - 1) may be the easiest one to use.
For other situations there is no nice reliable solution. :(
Now we live in 2015. Maybe times have changed?
I need a reliable way to number entries using a form.
Maybe a script can do the trick? A script that can add 1 to each entry?
That certain entry has to keep that number even when rows are deleted or inserted.
I created this simple spreadsheet in which I added 1,2, and 3 manually,please have a look:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H9EXns8-7m9oLbCrTyIZhLKXk6TGxzWlO9pOvQSODYs/edit?usp=sharing
The script has to find the maximum of the former entries, which is 3, and then add 1 automatically.
Who can help me with this?
Grtz, Bij

Yes, that would be what you need to resort to. I took the liberty of entering this in your example ss:
function onEdit(e) {
var watchColumns = [1, 2]; //when text is entered in any of these columns, auto-numbering will be triggered
var autoColumn = 3;
var headerRows = 1;
var watchSheet = "Form";
var range = e.range;
var sheet = range.getSheet();
if (e.value !== undefined && sheet.getName() == watchSheet) {
if (watchColumns.indexOf(range.getColumn()) > -1) {
var row = range.getRow();
if (row > headerRows) {
var autoCell = sheet.getRange(row, autoColumn);
if (!autoCell.getValue()) {
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var temp = 1;
for (var i = headerRows, length = data.length; i < length; i++)
if (data[i][autoColumn - 1] > temp)
temp = data[i][autoColumn - 1];
autoCell.setValue(temp + 1);
}
}
}
}
}
For me the best way is to create a query in a second sheet pulling everything from form responses in to second column and so on. then use the first column for numbering.
In your second sheet B1 you would use:
=QUERY(Form!1:1004)
In your second sheet A2 you would use:
=ARRAYFORMULA(if(B2:B="",,Row(B2:B)-1))
I made a second sheet in your example spreadsheet, have a look at it.
