Pull that data from sheet and create a PDF with that data - date

I need someone to help me write a script for this sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14JgHIvp8aEyDaHYcExWWQM9E0lTdg0W5Jb-UzWIHHX0/edit#gid=0 Sheet1 and the data will vary in row count both up and down each month.
I need a script is date triggered I can setup the date trigger but what I want is on the first of each month I need the script to pull that data on Sheet1 (varying in row count) and create a PDF with that data. Then save that PDF to my Drive with the name made of the Month and some text so, for example, this month would look like "May Form Data" and then email that PDF to me. So then on the 1st of the next month, it would create the new PDF and title it "June Form Data" and email it to me. This would happen every month as the data on the sheet will change every month. The data on the sheet will be pulled in with formula from other sheets.

Monthly Report
You supply: the trigger, SpreadsheetId, SheetName, your email address and the FolderId.
function firstDayOfTheMonthReport() {
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.openById('SpreadsheetId');
var shts=ss.getSheets();
for(var i=0;i<shts.length;i++) {
if(shts[i].getName()!='SheetName') {
shts[i].hideSheet();
}
}
var fileid=ss.getId();
var folder=DriveApp.getFolderById('FolderId');
var name=Utilities.formatString('%s Form Data', Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), Session.getScriptTimeZone(), "MMM"));
var fileblob=DriveApp.getFileById(fileid).getBlob().getAs('application/pdf').setName(name);
var file=folder.createFile(fileblob);
GmailApp.sendEmail('your email', 'Monthly Report', 'Report in Attachments', {attachments:[file.getAs(MimeType.PDF)]});
}
The version you requested and perhaps a little more.
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE RUNNING THE SCRIPT
You need to provide the Trigger.
You need to provide the SpreadsheetId.
You need to provide the FolderId where the pdf's are stored.
You need to provide your email address
You need to provide the names of the sheets that you want in the pdf. You will need to put there names in pdfshtsA. Like so: pdfshtsA=['SheetName1','SheetName2',.....]. You also put hidden sheets in the pdf report and they will be returned to hidden status after the report is sent.
The Script:
function firstDayOfTheMonthReport1() {
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.openById('SpreadsheetId');//You have to provide this Spreadsheet Id
var shts=ss.getSheets();
var pdfshtsA=['Sheet1'];//You have to put sheetnames that you want included in pdf in here you can included hidden sheets if you wish they will hidden again after the pdfs are created and the email is sent.
var visshtsA=[];//The script will put current visible sheets that are not in the above list
var hidshtsA=[];//The script will put sheets that are in pdfshtsA but are currently hidden so that they can be in the pdf and then hidden afterward
for(var i=0;i<shts.length;i++) {
if(pdfshtsA.indexOf(shts[i].getName()) == -1) {
if(!shts[i].isSheetHidden()) {
visshtsA.push(shts[i].getName());
shts[i].hideSheet();
}
}else{
if(shts[i].isSheetHidden()) {
hidshtsA.push(shts[i].getName());
shts[i].showSheet();
}
}
}
var fileid=ss.getId();
var folder=DriveApp.getFolderById('FolderId');//You need to provide the FolderId
var name=Utilities.formatString('%s Form Data', Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), Session.getScriptTimeZone(), "MMM"));
var fileblob=DriveApp.getFileById(fileid).getBlob().getAs('application/pdf').setName(name);
var file=folder.createFile(fileblob);
GmailApp.sendEmail('your email', 'Monthly Report', 'Report in Attachments', {attachments:[file.getAs(MimeType.PDF)]});
for(var i=0;i<visshtsA.length;i++) {
ss.getSheetByName(visshtsA[i]).showSheet();
}
for(var i=0;i<hidshtsA.length;i++) {
ss.getSheetByName(hidshtsA[i]).hideSheet();
}
}

How to send a conditional email based on the value of a cell from a form response?

I have a formula that calculates a number based on the response from a google form. Depending on what this number I want to send an email using details from the from as well as a pre typed email in another cell.
In Col1 is a time stamp, in col14 is an employee start date. My formula in Col33 works out how many days they have been employed at the time of submitting the form.
I want to send an email to the person if the number of days is less than 182.
I have an email pre typed out and can place this anywhere. At the moment I have it in all cells in col36. The email address will be in column32.
I have tried a number of different codes and none of them are sending the email no matter what the trigger I have set up is. I have very basic knowledge on apps script so my current code might be completely wrong, but it should show roughly what I'm getting at.
function sendEmail() {
var values = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getDataRange().getValues()
for (i in values.length) {
var data = values[i][33];
var emailAddress = values[i][32];
var message = values[i][36];
if (data < 182); {
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, "Flexible Working Request", message);
}
}
}
The current results have just been deleting the data in col33, Col34 & Col36 on the new form response row only.
Sorry if this question has been answered elsewhere, any other answer I found to similar issues I could not get to work.
I got someone who is much better at google apps script at work to give me a hand
It is to do with google forms pushing down formulas to the side
So we had to move the formula calculating the number of days to another sheet and then used this formula which worked
function sendEmailv2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Form responses
1');
var scrip = Session.getScriptTimeZone();
var date = sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow(),14).getValue();
var sub = sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow(),1).getValue();
Logger.log(date);
var fortmat = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(date), scrip, "dd/MM/yyyy");
var Subfortmat = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(sub), scrip, "dd/MM/yyyy");
var emailAddress = sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow(),32).getValue();
var sheet2 = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Sheet4');
var message = sheet2.getRange(1,1).getValue();
var days = sheet2.getRange(sheet2.getLastRow(),2).getValue();
if (days<182){
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, "Flexible Working Request", message,{noReply:true});
}
}
Thanks!
You don’t need to go over all the columns to get a single cell value, so there is no need for a for loop. You can do it directly with:
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getSheets[0];
var cell = ["A33"];
var days_value = sheet.getRange(cell).getValue();
Then you can just make an if condition to send the email:
if (days_value < 182){
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, "Flexible Working Request", message);
}
Hope this helps

Custom Email script

I am trying to form a simple order system, which responds to the user with a estimated delivery date once it is inserted into google sheet.
Basically someone completes a google form, which populates the sheet and then I require the sheet to send an email confirmation once a delivery date is manually inserted into the "delivery date" column on the sheet.
Currently the script is:
function CustomEmail() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var range = sheet.getRange("B2:L1000");
var UserData = range.getValues();
for (i in UserData) {
var row = UserData[i];
var name = row[5];
var email = row[0];
var score = row[9];
MailApp.sendEmail (row[1], "ORDER CONFIRMATION", "Order Confirmation of: " + name + ". The estimated delivery date is " + score);
}
}
It seems to work but it emails all of the rows of data, so I receive multiple emails each time and it will duplicate. I need it to just send an email to the row which has had the date manually inserted in the sheet. The script is designed to email an email address which is captured through the form.
I would like it to email that line only, I have read that it would be best to use an "on edit" trigger. This works but it still sends an email to the whole sheet each time not just the particular line that is edited.
The email response arrives like this:
"Order Confirmation of: 300mm screws. The estimated delivery date is Thu Jan 17 2019 00:00:00 GMT-0000 (GMT)"
Apologies, this is my first attempt at any sort of script so very novice.
Cheers
Joe

Manipulate google form associated with a google sheet from app script in that sheet

I have a google spreadsheet which contains multiple sheets (or tabs) within it. Each sheet is populated from its own unique form. None of the forms are embedded in the spreadsheet.
Periodically, I need to delete all the data in the sheets, and also delete all the old responses which are saved in each of the forms. I can do this using a .gs script which resides in the spreadsheet. It accesses the form by its ID (the long string which appears in its URI). This requires the ID string to be hardcoded in my .gs script.
Ideally, I would like to access each form from the sheet object (i.e. the destination for each forms entries). Mock up code would look like this...
var ss = SpreadSheedApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var form = sheet.getMyAssociatedSourceForm(); // my dream method :-)
form.deleteAllResponses() // this method already exists
Does anyone know if this is possible? Or will I have to continue to use the ID (which is currently working)?
rgds...
I think you can do this without literally typing in ID's into your script. But, you would need to get every Form in your drive, loop through them all and get the destinationId() of every Form.
Google Documentation
Then compare the destinationId with the current spreadsheets ID, which you can get without needing to "hard code" it:
function deleteAllResponses() {
var thisSS_ID = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId();
var allForms = DriveApp.getFilesByType(MimeType.GOOGLE_FORMS);
var thisFormFile, thisFormFileID = "", thisForm, theDestID = "";
while (allForms.hasNext()) {
thisFormFile = allForms.next();
thisFormFileID = thisFormFile.getId();
thisForm = FormApp.openById(thisFormFileID);
try {
theDestID = thisForm.getDestinationId();
} catch(err) {
continue;
};
if (theDestID === "" || theDestID === undefined) {
continue;
};
if (theDestID === thisFormFileID) {
thisForm.deleteAllResponses();
};
};
};
I have not tested this, so don't know if it works. If it does, let me know in the comments section.

google apps script to create new pdf document of updated cells after form submission and email this pdf error message:

Please bear with me as I am very much a beginner at this. I am trying to write a Google script which creates a new spreadsheet of the relevant data after a form is submitted, converts this to a PDF, and sends it as an email attachment to an email address which is submitted to the form. I am writing the code in a script which is bound to the sheet which performs some calculations on the data once it is submitted. The form is also bound to the sheet. I will paste my code below and here is a link to the sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oQTeQFwl7IfWF8D17oK1Mutp4TXidQXUT4lv46ktuwM/edit?usp=sharing
I am trying to email the small green summary section on the sheet named INPUTS/OUTPUTS as a pdf.
The Template file "MyCalculations" is just an empty spreadsheet apart from one line saying "here are your calculation results".
The summary section updates itself well and correctly after a form is submitted I am just having real trouble accessing the sheet because I can't code!
Here is the code so far:
function onFormSubmit(e){
//Variables
var userEmail = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("H24").getValue();
var totalOutstandingPrincipalDebt = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("G22").getValue();
var totalOutstandingInterest = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("H22").getValue();
var totalOutstandingCompensation = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("I22").getValue();
var dailyInterestRate = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("J22").getValue();
var grandTotal = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("G23").getValue();
var docTemplate = DriveApp.getFilesByName("MyCalculations");
//Template Info
var docName="Calculations";
var copyDoc= docTemplate.makeCopy();
var copyId = copyDoc.getId();
var copyBody = docTemplate.getActiveSection();
copyBody.getRange(2, 1).setValue("Total Outstanding Principal Debt");
copyBody.getRange(2, 2).setValue("Total Outstanding Interest");
copyBody.getRange(2, 3).setValue("Total Outstanding Compensation");
copyBody.getRange(2, 4).setValue("Grand Total");
copyBody.getRange(2, 5).setValue("Daily Interest Rate");
copyBody.getRange(3, 1).setValue(totalOutstandingPrincipalDebt);
copyBody.getRange(3, 2).setValue(totalOutstandingInterest);
copyBody.getRange(3, 3).setValue(totalOutstandingCompensation);
copyBody.getRange(3, 4).setValue(grandTotal);
copyBody.getRange(3, 5).setValue(dailyInterestRate);
//Save as PDF and send e-mail
var pdf = getFileById(copyId).getAs("application/pdf");
var subject = "Calculations";
var body = "Thank you very much for using our online calculator. Please find your results attached.";
MailApp.sendEmail(userEmail, subject, body, {htmlBody: body, attachments: pdf});
//Deletes temporary Document
DriveApp.getFileById(copyId).setTrashed(true);
}
I also don't think that in this code, I have specified which sheet on my spreadsheet I am wanting to get the data from, but I don't know how to do that either!
Any help would be so so appreciated!
var docTemplate = DriveApp.getFilesByName("MyCalculations");
getFilesByName returns a FileIterator not a Spreadsheet so you have to change that to:
var docTemplate = DriveApp.getFilesByName("MyCalculations").next().getAs(MimeType.GOOGLE_SHEETS);
Next, in var copyBody = docTemplate.getActiveSection(); there is no such method called getActiveSection change that to:
var copyBody = docTemplate.getActiveSheet();
Lastly, the line var pdf = getFileById(copyId).getAs("application/pdf");
should be
var pdf = DriveApp.getFileById(copyId).getAs("application/pdf");
Implement those changes and let me know how it works. =)
Update
I fiddled around and as far as I can tell, DriveApp automatically converts almost all files to a PDF. So, as I understand it, you are using the MyCalculations spreadsheet as a template so that you can convert it into a PDF and send it.
We can accomplish this with a little bit of a roundabout way.
First, we create a new sheet in our original spreadsheet, and hide it from view so that the user can't see it.
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var myCalculations = spreadsheet.insertSheet("MyCalculations",spreadsheet.getNumSheets());
myCalculations.hideSheet();
Secondly, we set all the values that you want. So change
copyBody.setRange ...
to
myCalculations.setRange ...
Thirdly, once we have all our data set. We are going create a temporary Spreadsheet to copy all our data into so that we may export it as a PDF and send it in an email
var tempSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.create('Temporary');
Fourth, we copy our calculations page into the temporary spreadsheet.
myCalculations.copyTo(tempSpreadsheet);
Perfect! Now we just convert the temporary spreadsheet into a PDF and do a little clean-up. Be sure to note the change to the line where we delete the temporary spreadsheet. I get the id by just calling the getId() method
var pdf = tempSpreadsheet.getAs(MimeType.PDF);
var subject = "Calculations";
var body = "Thank you very much for using our online calculator. Please find your results attached.";
MailApp.sendEmail(userEmail, subject, body, {htmlBody: body, attachments: pdf});
//Deletes temporary Document
DriveApp.getFileById(tempSpreadsheet.getId()).setTrashed(true);
That should do the trick. Comment how it works for you. =)
I managed to get this code working:
//Set out global variables
var docTemplate = ("1Ff3SfcXQyGeCe8-Y24l4EUMU7P9TsgREsAYO9W6RE2o");
var docName=("Calculations");
function onFormSubmit(e){
//Variables
var userEmail = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("H24").getValue();
var totalOutstandingPrincipalDebt =SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("G22").getValue();
var totalOutstandingInterest = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("H22").getValue();
var totalOutstandingCompensation = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("I22").getValue();
var dailyInterestRate = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("J22").getValue();
var grandTotal = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("G23").getValue();
//Template Info
var copyId=DriveApp.getFileById(docTemplate).makeCopy(docName+' for '+userEmail).getId();
var copyDoc = DocumentApp.openById(copyId);
var copyBody = copyDoc.getActiveSection();
//Putting the data into the file
copyBody.insertParagraph(0,'Total Outstanding Principal Debt: ' + totalOutstandingPrincipalDebt);
copyBody.insertParagraph(1,'Total Outstanding Interest: '+ totalOutstandingInterest );
copyBody.insertParagraph(2,'Total Outstanding Compensation: '+ totalOutstandingCompensation);
copyBody.insertParagraph(3,'Grand Total: ' + grandTotal);
copyBody.insertParagraph(4,'Daily Interest Rate: '+ dailyInterestRate);
copyDoc.saveAndClose();
//email pdf document as attachment
var pdf = DriveApp.getFileById(copyId).getAs("application/pdf");
var subject = "Calculations";
var body = "Thank you very much for using our online calculator. Please find your results attached.";
MailApp.sendEmail(userEmail, subject, body, {htmlBody: body, attachments: pdf});
//Deletes temporary Document
DriveApp.getFileById(copyId).setTrashed(true);
}

How to copy paste a google spreadsheet table into gmail using google script?

I have a google spreadsheet with a pivot table, which i want to be emailed automatically based on certain criteria using my gmail. I am quite happy with the email script and the cinditions however I cannot find anywhere a script that can effectively replicate a "copy - paste" of the table into the email.
I would appreciate any help you could offer with this.
Thanks

I managed to get it to work using advice from this community. Thank you!
I am trying to get it to display values horizontally i.e. each line a new customer record. However, i get something different. I am attaching a file with what I get and the code. I would appreciate any advice. I am so sure that the solution is just there but after many hours I cannot get it :( I am showing the code below and I am attaching a photo with the current and desired outcome.
Many thanks

You need to write the email body as html and insert the in there. More work if you want to mimic formatting. Try if and write back if you get stuck.
