Overview This is a Google Apps Script library for achieving the ownership-transfer of the specific folder including the files and sub-folders using Drive API. IMPORTANT: PLEASE BE CAREFUL THIS. At first, please read this section I cannot take responsibility for the problems occurred by this library. So when you use this library, please use it by according to your own decision and at your own responsibility. This GAS library transfers the ownership of files and folders.

At July 7, 2020, I have reported the transfer of owner of files got not to be able to be achieved with batch requests of Drive API. Ref But today, I could confirm that this got to be able to be achieved. But, I’m worry about the possibility that this might not be able to be used in the future again.

At 15, June 2020, I have reported the transfer of owner of files got to be able to be achieved with batch requests of Drive API. Ref And also, yesterday (06, July 2020), I could have confirmed that this could be worked. But, now (07, July 2020), the following response is returned. { "error": { "errors": [ { "domain": "global", "reason": "invalidSharingRequest", "message": "Bad Request.

RichTextApp was updated to v1.2.0 v1.2.0 (July 3, 2020) Added the method of AutoResizeFontForSpreadsheet. This method can automatically adjust the text length to fit in the cell width by changing the font size. You can see the detail information here https://github.com/tanaikech/RichTextApp

Gists This is a sample script for adjusting the text length to fit in the cell width on Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script. In this case, in order to fit to the cell width, the font size is changed. Issue and workaround: Unfortunately, in the current stage, there are no methods for automatically resize the font size for fitting in the cell width in the Spreadsheet service. So in this case, it is required to think of the workaround.

New section CORS in Web Apps was added to Taking advantage of Web Apps with Google Apps Script In this section, I would like to introduce CORS in Web Apps. As the result, in order to prevent the error related to CORS, it was found the following important points. It is required to return ContentService.createTextOutput() and ContentService.createTextOutput("done") from doGet and doPost. For POST method, the data is required to be converted to the string and sent to Web Apps.

Gists In this report, I would like to report for processing to create new file to the specific folder using Drive API. When the new file is created to the specific folder using Drive API, the property of parents with the value of folder ID is included in the request body of the method “Files: create”. About this process, I had thought that the file is directly created to the specific folder.

Gists This is a sample script for the search dialog using TextFinder with Google Apps Script. If this sample script could help to indicate the possibility of TextFinder, I’m glad. Demo In this demonstration, the value of test is searched. When "NEXT" is clicked, the next searched value is activated. When "PREVIOUS" is clicked, the previous searched value is activated. The search can be done for all sheets in the Google Spreadsheet.

Gists This is a current workaround for putting the multiple hyperlinks to a cell using Sheets API. Description Recently, at Spreadsheet service, the multiple hyperlinks got to be able to be put to a cell. Ref In this case, it can be achieved using RichTextValue. On the other hand, at Sheets API, in the current stage, there are no methods for directly putting the multiple hyperlinks to a cell. And also, such methods have not been added.

Gists This is a sample script for managing the texts on Google Slides using Google Apps Script. Recently, I got the request like this. I published this here, because I thought that this might be also useful for other users. Demo In this demonstration, the text of {{baz}} on Google Slides are searched and replaced to other text, and also, the text style is changed. Sample situation In this case, it supposes that there are 3 types of shapes in the slide.

Gists This is a sample script for correctly exporting the charts on Google Spreadsheet as the images using Google Apps Script. In the current stage, using Google Apps Script, when the charts on Google Spreadsheet are exported as the images, it seems that the exported images are not the same with the original one on Google Spreadsheet. About this, today, I could notice that I had answered for 2 questions. Q1, Q2 And also, I had already been reported this at the issue tracker.

Gists This is a sample script for retrieving the difference between 2 arrays, which are the old values and the new values, using Google Apps Script. In my environment, I sometimes have the situation that it is required to retrieve the difference between 2 arrays. So I prepared this as a sample script. I think that this can be also used at Javascript and Node.js. If this was also useful for your situation, I’m glad.

RichTextApp was updated to v1.1.3 v1.1.3 (June 17, 2020) The variable name for the error processing was not correct. The bug was removed. Added a sample script for using this library. You can see the detail information here https://github.com/tanaikech/RichTextApp

RichTextApp was updated to v1.1.2 v1.1.0 (June 16, 2020) Add new method of RichTextToHTMLForSpreadsheet. The method of RichTextToHTMLForSpreadsheet can convert the rich texts in the cells to the HTML format. v1.1.1 (June 16, 2020) About the method of RichTextToHTMLForSpreadsheet, I forgot to convert hyperlinks to HTML. This was modified. v1.1.2 (June 16, 2020) When one row and several columns are used as the range, only 1st column is returned.

Today, I could confirm that the transfer of owner of files got to be able to be achieved with batch requests of Drive API. When I had tested this at January 31, 2020, an error of there is no function to change the owner of this item yet (currently under development) had occurred. But today, I could confirm that this got to be able to be achieved by the batch requests.

Overview These are the sample scripts of the batch requests for Drive API using Google Apps Script. Description When we want to manage the files and folders on Google Drive, we have 2 ways. One is the use of Drive service. Another is the use of Drive API. In the case of them, when we want to manage a lot of files and folders, unfortunately, both ways have no batch requests.

Overview This is the sample scripts for managing a lot of Google Calendar Events using the batch requests with Google Apps Script. Description When we want to manage the events of Google Calendar, we have 2 ways. One is the use of Calendar service. Another is the use of Calendar API. In the case of them, when we want to manage a lot of calendar events, unfortunately, both ways have no batch requests.

BatchRequest was updated to v1.1.2. v1.1.1 (June 12, 2020) Error handling for the input object was added. v1.1.2 (June 12, 2020) Removed a bug that when the returned value is empty, an error occurred. You can check this at https://github.com/tanaikech/BatchRequest.

Gists This is a sample script for highlighting the row and column of the selected cell using Google Apps Script. For this, the OnSelectionChange event trigger is used.

BatchRequest was updated to v1.1.0. v1.1.0 (June 10, 2020) New method of EDo() was added. This method is the enhanced Do() method. When this method is used, the result values from the batch requests are parsed. And also, the number of requests more than 100 can be used. In this case, the split of the number of requests is processed for the limitation of 100. You can check this at https://github.

Overview This is a proposal of the enhanced custom function for Google Spreadsheet using Web Apps as the wrapper. Demo Description When the custom function is used, in the current specification, the most methods except several methods (for example, one of them is UrlFetchApp.) that the authorization is required cannot be used. So for example, when the filenames in the folder are retrieved from the folder name, unfortunately, this cannot be directly achieved.

Gists When the method of “Files: list” in Drive API v3, the official document of includeItemsFromAllDrives and supportsAllDrives says as follows. Deprecated - Whether both My Drive and shared drive items should be included in results. This parameter will only be effective until June 1, 2020. Afterwards shared drive items are included in the results. (Default: false) Deprecated - Whether the requesting application supports both My Drives and shared drives.

RunAll was updated to v1.1.2. v1.1.2 (May 31, 2020) When the access token and project ID are not included in the object, getOAuthToken() and getScriptId(). By this, an error is removed. You can see the detail information here https://github.com/tanaikech/RunAll

FilesApp was updated to v1.1.2. v1.1.2 (May 29, 2020) A bug that all files were not retrieved from the shared drive was removed. GitHub of FilesApp

Gists Abstract This is a report for detecting quickly checked checkboxes on Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script. It supposes that when the checkbox is checked, a function of Google Apps Script is run by the event trigger. In this case, when the multiple checkboxes on Google Spreadsheet are checked quickly, the script cannot be run for all checked checkboxes, because of the response speed of the event trigger. It is considered that to understand the response of event trigger is useful for creating the application for Spreadsheet.

Overview This is Google Apps Script library for copying folder on Google Drive. Description I have sometimes the situation that it is required to back up the folder on Google Drive to Google Drive. But unfortunately, the method of makeCopy() of Class File and the method of Files: copy of Drive API cannot be used for directly copying the folder on Google Drive. So I created this as a library. This library can copy the folder on Google Drive.

Gists Abstract I have already reported about “Change Tab Detection on Google Spreadsheet using onSelectionChange Event Trigger with Google Apps Script”. Ref It is considered that when the situation which uses the event trigger of onSelectionChange is thought, the response speed is important. So, here, I investigated the characteristics of response for the event trigger of onSelectionChange. Demo Experiment Sample script In order to investigate the response speed, I used the following sample script.

Gists onSelectionChange has been released at April 22, 2020. But this couldn’t be used at the released day. But now, I could confirm that this got to be able to be used. So in order to test this event trigger, I prepared a simple sample script. This is a sample script for detecting the change tab on Google Spreadsheet using onSelectionChange Event Trigger with Google Apps Script. Demo Usage Please copy and paste the following script to the container-bound script of Google Spreadsheet, and save the script.

Gists Recently, it seems that the specification of Google Spreadsheet was updated. Before this, when a cell has only one hyperlink. In this case, the hyperlink was given to a cell using =HYPERLINK("http://www.google.com/", "Google") as following figure. But by the recent update, a cell got to be able to have multiple hyperlinks as following figure. In this case, the hyperlinks are set by the RichTextValue object. In this report, I would like to introduce the method for setting and retrieving the multiple URLs for a cell.

FilesApp was updated to v1.1.0. Shared drive got to be able to be used. From the version 1.1.0, the following modification was added. V8 is used. As the default setting, the file list is retrieved from both your Google Drive and the shared drive. By this, for example, when the folder ID in the shared Drive is used to ### of const res = FilesApp.createTree("###"), the folder tree of the shared Drive is retrieved, if you have the shared Drive.

Gists These are the sample scripts for hiding and deleting rows and columns on Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script. I sometimes see the questions for hiding and deleting rows and columns on Spreadsheet at Stackoverflow. So here, I would like to introduce the sample scripts for this. In this case, when the process costs of the scripts created by using Spreadsheet service and Sheets API are compared, the cost of script created by Sheets API is much lower than that of script created by Spreadsheet service.

Gists Overview When // in template literal is used in a HTML file in script editor, it is used as a comment start. const sample = `//`; For example, when above script is used in a HTML file at the script editor, ;" of const sample =`//`; is used as the comment. Description I would like to explain about this bug using the following sample flow. Flow Create new Spreadsheet and open the script editor.

Gists This is a sample script for retrieving the direct links of all sheets from the URL like https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-###/pubhtml of the web published Google Spreadsheet. This sample script can be used for the following situation. The Spreadsheet is published to Web and the URL like https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-###/pubhtml is known You are not the owner of Google Spreadsheet. You don’t know the Spreadsheet ID and Sheet IDs. Under above situation, unfortunately, the direct links of each sheet cannot be directly retrieved.

Gists Description When V8 is enabled, Array.apply has the limitation for the number of elements. When it is over the limitation, an error like RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded occurs, while the issue didn’t occur when V8 is disabled. In this case, this issue occurs at both Google Apps Script and Javascript. So please be careful this. Sample situation For example, when Array.prototype.push.apply is used for combining the arrays because the process cost of Array.

FetchApp was updated to v1.0.1. v1.0.1 (April 13, 2020) When V8 runtime is enabled, it was found that an error occurred. So this bug was removed. You can check this at https://github.com/tanaikech/FetchApp.

Gists This sample script is for expanding a1Notations using Google Apps Script. This was updated from this sample script. Sample script function expandA1Notations_(a1Notations, maxRow, maxColumn) { maxRow = maxRow || "1000"; maxColumn = maxColumn || "Z"; // Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21231012/7108653 const columnToLetter = column => { let temp, letter = ""; while (column > 0) { temp = (column - 1) % 26; letter = String.

The drawing objects on Google Spreadsheet got to be able to be managed by the update at April 2, 2020. Ref By this update, we can assign the function to the drawing objects and remove the drawing objects. The following sample is for removing the drawing objects on the active sheet. Ref SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet() .getDrawings() .forEach(e => e.remove());

Gists This is a sample script for retrieving the overwrapped cells between 2 ranges on Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script.
