This is a sample script for importing a CSV data by keeping the number formats of cells on Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script.

When a CSV data is manually put using the default UI using the browser, it seems that the number formats of all cells cannot be kept. In order to import the CSV data to the cells with keeping the number formats, it is required to use a script as a workaround. In this workaround, Google Apps Script is used.

This is a simple method for using ggsrun. ggsrun is a CLI tool to execute Google Apps Script (GAS) on a terminal. Also this CLI tool can be used for managing files in Google Drive for OAuth2 and Service Account.
