So I wanted to copy the rich text, that I edited at the Google Document, to the cell of Google Spreadsheet.

Gists This is a sample script for rearranging the columns on Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script. Sample script In this sample script, the columns are rearranged with an array including the rearranged column indexes. function rearrangeColumns(sheet, ar) { var obj = ar.reduce(function(ar, e, i) { return ar.concat({ from: e + 1, to: i + 1 }); }, []); obj.sort(function(a, b) { return a.to < b.

Overview DateFinder is a GAS library for searching the date objects from the cell range on the sheet in the Spreadsheet and retrieving the searched range as the RangeList object using Google Apps Script (GAS). Description There is the Class TextFinder for searching the text from cells of the Spreadsheet using the Google Apps Script. But in this case, the date object in the cell is used as the string. Namely, the values for searching are used as the same with the values retrieved by getDisplayValues().

Gists This is a sample script for dynamically updating the custom menu of Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script. Demo In this demonstration, when the Spreadsheet is opened, 5 functions added to the custom menu. You can see that when a column is added and deleted, the custom menu is updated. Issue and workaround for this goal Unfortunately, in the current stage, when a function is added to the custom menu with addItem method, the argument cannot been able to be used.

Gists Overview This is a sample script for retrieving values from a sheet filtered by Slicer in Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script. Description By the update of Google side at November 6, 2019, Class Slicer was added. And also, for Sheets API, AddSlicerRequest and UpdateSlicerSpecRequest were added. By this, Slicer of Spreadsheet got to be able to be managed with Google Apps Script and other languages. Here, I would like to introduce the method for retrieving values from a sheet filtered by Slicer in Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script.

Gists Description I have already reported about “Automatic Recalculation of Custom Function on Spreadsheet Part 1” at here. Here, I would like to introduce other workaround for forcibly recalculating the custom functions and built-in functions using Class TextFinder. Class TextFinder has added at April 5, 2019. By this, this workaround can be proposed. Sample scripts Pattern 1 If you want to refresh all functions of all sheets in a Spreadsheet, you can use the following script.

GetEditType was updated to v1.0.1. v1.0.1 (October 25, 2019) Updated: This answer was reflected. You can see the detail information here https://github.com/tanaikech/GetEditType

Gists Kanshi Tanaike Introduction Please be careful! This result can be only used for Google Apps Script. There are a limit executing time for Google Apps Script (GAS). That is 6 minutes for Consumer and Google Apps free edition, and 30 minutes for G Suite and Early Access. 1 So many users always have to pay attention to reducing the process cost of scripts. So it is very important to know the process cost of various situations.

Gists This is a sample script for retrieving values from filtered Sheet in Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script. When the values are retrieved the filtered sheet by the basic filter, if setValues() and setDisplayValues() are used, all values without the filter are retrieved. In this script, I would like to introduce the method for retrieving the values from the filtered sheet using Google Apps Script. In order to retrieve the values from the filtered sheet, one method has already been proposed.

Gists When an image is inserted to Google Docs (Spreadsheet, Document and Slides) using the method of insertImage using Google Apps Script, there is the case that the error occurs. The error messages are “server error” and “invalid image data”. Here, I would like to introduce the limitations for inserting images to Google Docs. As the result, it was found that the limitation is due to both the mimeTypes and the area of image rather than the file size.

Gists When a chart is created by using EmbeddedChartBuilder of Spreadsheet service, the title of vAxis which is put by setOption("vAxis", {title: "y axis"}) doesn’t work. It is considered that this is a bug. Because I have confirmed that this had worked fine. Ref But this specification had been changed. So I would like to introduce the method for adding the title of vAxis when a chart is created using Google Apps Script.

Gists This sample script is for creating one-time writing cells using Google Apps Script. At first, it supposes the following situation. A Spreadsheet is shared with users. The owner of Spreadsheet is you. After users put a value to a cell, you don’t want to make users edit the cell again. Namely, you want to protect the cell. This sample script achieves above situation. Preparation Before you use this script, please do the following flow.

Gists Benchmark: Reading and Writing Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script October 18, 2018 Updated. In order to compare with Advanced Google Service, a result of Sheets API by UrlFetchApp was added to Appendix. Kanshi Tanaike Introduction Please be careful! This result can be only used for Google Apps Script. There are a limit executing time for Google Apps Script (GAS). That is 6 minutes for Consumer and Google Apps free edition, and 30 minutes for G Suite and Early Access.

Gists This is a sample script for expanding a1Notations using Google Apps Script (GAS). In this script, for example, “A1:E3” is expanded to “A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, A2, B2, C2, D2, E2, A3, B3, C3, D3, E3”. When each cell in “A1:E3” is checked, this script might be able to be used. If this was useful for your situation, I’m glad. Script: function expandA1Notation(a1Notations) { var columnToLetter = function(column) { var temp, letter = ''; while (column > 0) { temp = (column - 1) % 26; letter = String.

Overview RangeListApp is a GAS library for retrieving, putting and replacing values for Spreadsheet by a range list with a1Notation using Google Apps Script (GAS). Description There is Class RangeList as one of classes for Spreadsheet. There is setValue(value) in Class RangeList as a method. setValue(value) puts value to the cells of range list. Recently, when I used this method, I noticed that the following situations what I want cannot be achieved.

Gists This is a sample script for retrieving the last coordinate of the specific row and column. When the methods of getLastRow() and getLastColumn() of Class Range for Spreadsheet are used, the last coordinates of the vertical and horizontal data range can be retrieved. When users want to retrieve the last coordinates of each row and column, there are no methods. So I created this script. I think that there are several scripts for this situation.

Gists Introduction Here I would like to introduce about the limitation of images for inserting to Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script (GAS). When you want to insert the images to Spreadsheet using GAS, insertImage() of class Sheet is usually used for this situation. At this time, an error sometimes occurs. This indicates that there is the limitation for inserting images to Spreadsheet. So I investigated the limitation. As a result, it was found that the limitation depends on the image area (pixels^2) rather than the file size of it.

Gists This is a sample script for Google Apps Script (GAS). This script retrieves all named ranges in Spreadsheet. The names and range of the retrieved named ranges are output as the keys and the values of JSON object, respectively. The sample output is {"name1": "Sheet1!A1:B2", "name2": "Sheet2!B1:C2",,,}. The name of named range has to be only one in the spreadsheet. This was used. Sheets.Spreadsheets.get() of Sheets API can retrieve all named ranges.

Gists In the case appending values to cell by inserting rows, when sheets.spreadsheets.values.append is used, the values are appended to the next empty row of the last row. If you want to append values to between cells with values by inserting row, you can achieve it using sheets.spreadsheets.batchUpdate. When you use this, please use your access token. Endpoint : POST https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/### spreadsheet ID ###:batchUpdate Request body : In this request body, it appends the data of “sample1, sample2, sample3” to “A1:A3” of the sheetId of “1234567890”.

Gists In this report, I would like to introduce a workaround for automatically recalculating custom functions on Spreadsheet. 1. Situation The sample situation is below. This is a sample situation for this document. There are 3 sheets with “sheet1”, “sheet2” and “sheet3” of sheet name in a Spreadsheet. Calculate the summation of values of “A1” of each sheet using a custom function. Sample script of the custom function is as follows.

Gists This sample script is for measuring the execution time of built-in functions for Google Spreadsheet. Unfortunately, there are not measurement tools for retrieving the execution time of built-in functions. So I thought of about a workaround. Flow : Import a value to a cell. The value is anything good, because this is used as a trigger. Please do this by yourself. Custom functions cannot use setValue(). So I used onEdit().

Gists This sample script is for straightening elements in 2 dimensional array using Google Apps Script (GAS). When applications using Spreadsheet are developed by GAS, it usually uses 2 dimensional array by setValues(). And the lengths of each element are required to be the same. On the other hand, data used for the applications might not be the same length for each element in 2 dimensional array. This sample script can be used under such situation.

Gists onEdit(e) which is used for the Edit event on Spreadsheet has the old value as e.oldValue. The specifications for this are as follows. When an user edited a single “A1” cell, e of onEdit(e) shows hoge for e.oldValue and fuga for e.value. When an user edited the “A1:A2” multiple cells, e.oldValue and e.value of onEdit(e) are not shown anything. When an user copied and pasted from other cell, e.

Gists Flow : In my sample script, the script was made using the Quickstart. The flow to use this sample script is as follows. For Go Quickstart, please do Step 1 and Step 2. Please put client_secret.json to the same directory with my sample script. Copy and paste my sample script, and create it as new script file. Run the script.

Here, it introduces an application of Retrieving Spreadsheet ID from Range using Google Apps Script. Please check this. https://github.com/tanaikech/getSpreadsheetByRange

Gists This is a sample script for retrieving spreadsheet ID from a range using Google Apps Script. I sometimes want to retrieve spreadsheet ID from ranges. In such case, I always use this. Range -> Retrieve Sheet using getSheet() -> Retrieve Spreadsheet using getParent() -> Retrieve spreadsheet ID var id = "123456789abcdefg"; var sheet = "Sheet"; var cells = "a1:b10"; var range = SpreadsheetApp.openById(id).getSheetByName(sheet).getRange(cells); var id = range.

Gists This is a sample script for retrieving values by header title for Spreadsheet. This is created by Google Apps Script. The main script is as follows. Main script : When the instance is retrieved, all data of the sheet is analyzed. So when the each value is retrieved, the speed is fast. function GetValueByKey(sheetname) { return new getValueByKey(sheetname); }; (function(r) { var getValueByKey; getValueByKey = (function() { getValueByKey.

Gists When it uses Google Sheets API v4, GridRange is used for it as the range property. These sample scripts are for converting from a1Notation to GridRange. You can chose from following 2 scripts. Both scripts can retrieve the same result. Script 1 : This is from me. function a1notation2gridrange1(sheetid, a1notation) { var data = a1notation.match(/(^.+)!(.+):(.+$)/); var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(sheetid).getSheetByName(data[1]); var range = ss.getRange(data[2] + ":" + data[3]); var gridRange = { sheetId: ss.

Gist Overview This is a sample script for creating the pseudo browser using Google Spreadsheet. Description I unexpectedly noticed this. I think that this is for off-line browsing using HTML data. So there are many limitations. At first, please confirm them. Limitations It cannot move from opened site to other outside site. If the outer site is opened as a new wind, your own browser is opened and move there.

This sample script is for searching route between place A and B and embedding a map by custom function on Spreadsheet. I think that this method is one of various ideas. Problem When the map is embedded to a cell on spreadsheet as an image, the function =IMAGE() is suitable for this situation. However, Class Maps, setFormula() for importing =IMAGE() and DriveApp.createFile() for creating images from maps also cannot be used for custom functions.

This sample script is for retrieving parameters from a chart. The chart created by both Google Apps Script and manually operation can be used. Creates Chart When a chart is created, it supposes following parameters. var parameters = { "title": "x axis", "fontName": "Arial", "minValue": 0, "maxValue": 100, "titleTextStyle": { "color": "#c0c0c0", "fontSize": 10, "fontName": "Roboto", "italic": true, "bold": false } }; .

This sample script is for embedding animation GIF in a cell using custom function on Spreadsheet. I think that this method is one of various ideas. Problem There are some limitations. Images of jpeg and png can be embedded in a cell using =IMAGE(). But when animation GIF is embedded using it, GIF is not played. insertImage() can insert the animation GIF to sheet. But it is not imported to one cell.

This sample script performs OCR and imports resultant text to a cell using custom function on Spreadsheet. Drive API has a function to do OCR. It was used for this sample. I think that this method is one of various ideas. Problem When OCR is performed and imported the result to a cell on spreadsheet, there are some limitations. DriveApp, UrlFetchApp, setFormula() cannot be used for custom functions. Solution In order to avoid these limitations, I used Web Apps.

This sample script embeds a map to a cell using custom function on Spreadsheet. I think that this method is one of various ideas. Problem When the map is embeded to a cell on spreadsheet as an image, the function =IMAGE() is suitable for this situation. However, setFormula() for importing =IMAGE() and DriveApp.createFile() for creating images from maps also cannot be used for custom functions. Solution In order to avoid these limitations, I used Web Apps.

This sample script embeds a chart to a cell using custom function on Spreadsheet. I think that this method is one of various ideas. Problem When you want to create a chart and embed it to a cell using custom functions, you notice that insertChart() cannot be used. There are some limitations for using custom functions. But insertChart() creates floating charts. So in order to embed a chart to a cell, the function =IMAGE() is suitable for this situation.

Sample data This is a sample data for this sample script. The column B was created by the normal distribution formula, and the column C was created by multiplying random number for column B. A, B, C 1.0, 0.0001, 0.0000 1.5, 0.0009, 0.0006 2.0, 0.0044, 0.0037 2.5, 0.0175, 0.0133 3.0, 0.0540, 0.0236 3.5, 0.1296, 0.0533 4.0, 0.2420, 0.0073 4.5, 0.3522, 0.2468 5.0, 0.3990, 0.0843 5.5, 0.3522, 0.3352 6.0, 0.2420, 0.2201 6.

This sample script sends an e-mail, when spreadsheet was edited from outside by Sheet API v4. When you use this sample, please create a container bound script with spreadsheet which is edited by Sheet API. And please input your e-mail and run firstly a method of createTrigger(). By this, a trigger is installed as onChange(). After this, edit spreadsheet from outside by Sheet API v4. When when spreadsheet was edited from outside by Sheet API v4, I used sendEmail() as a sample, because script editor is closed.

This sample script retrieves the user information which is editing the shared spreadsheet. It was found as follows. User information retrieving by Class Session is the owner and users which installed triggers by themselves. When each user installs a trigger, user information retrieving by Class Session losts the accuracy. So user information has to be retrieved using a temporally installed trigger. Using onOpen(), it cannot directly install triggers and authorize.

This sample script sends an e-mail with an Excel file exported from Spreadsheet as an attachment file. function excelSender() { var sheetID = [Sheet ID]; var xlsxName = [Excel file name]; var params = { "headers" : {Authorization: "Bearer [Retrieved AccessToken]"}, "muteHttpExceptions" : true }; var dUrl = "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/" + sheetID + "/export?mimeType=application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet" var xlsxlFile = UrlFetchApp.fetch(dUrl, params).getBlob().setName(xlsxName); MailApp.sendEmail({ to: [Mail address], subject: "sample subject", body: "sample body", attachments: [xlsxlFile] }); } Is ScriptApp.

Here, I introduce how to download a CSV file from spreadsheet using Google HTML Service. Using “onOpen()”, it addes menu for launching a dialog. After launching the dialog, “getFileUrl()” is launched by pushing a button. “getFileUrl()” exports a CSV file and outputs download URL. The CSV file is downloaded by “executeDownload()”. Please put both HTML and GAS to a GAS project.HTML : download.html <!

var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet(); var chart = sheet.newChart() .setChartType(Charts.ChartType.LINE) .asLineChart() .addRange(sheet.getRange('a1:a21')) .addRange(sheet.getRange('b1:b21')) .addRange(sheet.getRange('c1:c21')) .setColors(["green", "red"]) .setBackgroundColor("black") .setPosition(5, 5, 0, 0) .setPointStyle(Charts.PointStyle.MEDIUM) .setOption('useFirstColumnAsDomain', true) .setOption('height', 280) .setOption('width', 480) .setOption('title', 'Sample chart') .setOption('hAxis', { title: 'x axis', minValue: 0, maxValue: 20, titleTextStyle: { color: '#c0c0c0', fontSize: 20, italic: false, bold: false }, textStyle: { color: '#c0c0c0', fontSize: 12, bold: false, italic: false }, baselineColor: '#c0c0c0', gridlines: { color: '#c0c0c0', count: 4 } }) .

This is a Sample Array Script for Spreadsheet. It makes an 2D array filled by strings and number. The strings and number are column strings and row number, respectively. However, because this is a sample, the maximum column number is 26. function sa(row, col){ if (col > 26) return; var ar = new Array(row); for(var i = 0; i < row; i++) ar[i] = new Array(col); for (var i = 0; i < row; i++){ for (var j = 0; j < col; j++){ ar[i][j] = String.

About Event Objects For example, it thinks the situation of input text of ’test’ to ‘A1’ on a sheet. When you use only ‘onEdit(e)’ without an installing trigger, ’e’ has following parameters. {authMode=LIMITED, range=Range, source=Spreadsheet, user=, value=test} In this case, the event cannot send an e-mail because of ‘authMode=LIMITED’. When you use “onEdit(e)” with an installing trigger of “Edit”, ’e’ has following parameters. {authMode=FULL, range=Range, source=Spreadsheet, value=test, triggerUid=#####} In this case, the event can send an e-mail because of ‘authMode=FULL’.
