根据过滤范围将数据从电子表格复制到另一个电子表格

Question

I have this script that copy the entire content from source spreadsheet to the target spreadsheet. But I would to copy only a specific column (Col B) dependent form another column (Col C) with the content "Italy".

function CopyDataToNewFile() {
  var sss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1jtZli...'); // sss = source spreadsheet
  var ss = sss.getSheetByName('Sorgente'); // ss = source sheet
  //Get full range of data
  var SRange = ss.getDataRange();
  //get A1 notation identifying the range
  var A1Range = SRange.getA1Notation();
  //get the data values in range
  var SData = SRange.getValues();

  var tss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('185I...'); // tss = target spreadsheet
  var ts = tss.getSheetByName('Destinazione'); // ts = target sheet
  //set the target range to the values of the source data
  ts.getRange(A1Range).setValues(SData);

}

I have reached this conclusion. There is a method in the destination sheet (where there is the data validation from the source sheet) where the data validation display only the value not inserted yet in the destination sheet?

Try this:

function CopyDataToNewFile() {
  var sss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1jtZli...'); 
  var ss = sss.getSheetByName('Sorgente');
  var SRange = ss.getDataRange();
  var A1Range = SRange.getA1Notation();
  var SData = SRange.getValues();
  var B=[];
  SData.forEach(function(r){
    if(r[2]=='Italy') {
      B.push([r[1]]);
    }
  });
  var tss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('185I...');
  var ts = tss.getSheetByName('Destinazione');
  ts.getRange(1,1,B.length,1).setValues(B);
}

Here's a couple of ways that you can play with. I think the first one will be much faster.

The first one get's data all at one and writes output data all at one time.

function Copy() {
  var ss=SpreadsheetApp.openById('source spreadsheet id')
  var ssh=ss.getSheetByName('sorg');
  var dss=SpreadsheetApp.openById('destination spreadsheet id')
  var dsh=dss.getSheetByName('dest')
  var srg=ssh.getRange(1,1,ssh.getLastRow(),ssh.getLastColumn());
  var svA=srg.getValues();
  var oA=[];
  svA.forEach(function (r,i) {
    if (r[2]=='Italy') {
      oA.push([r[1]]);
    }
  });
  dsh.getRange(dsh.getLastRow()+1,1,oA.length,1).setValues(oA);
}

The second one get column B and the column C and compares each row of column C with the string 'Italy' if column C equals "Italy" then in appends that same row of column B so it does a lot more writes and one more read.

function Copy() {
  var ss=SpreadsheetApp.openById('source spreadsheet id');
  var ssh=ss.getSheetByName('sorg');
  var dss=SpreadsheetApp.openById('destination spreadsheet id');
  var dsh=dss.getSheetByName('dest');
  var srgB=ssh.getRange(1,2,ssh.getLastRow());//col B
  var srgC=ssh.getRange(1,3,ssh.getLastRow());//col C
  var BvA=srgB.getValues();
  var CvA=srgC.getValues();
  var oA=[];
  BvA.forEach(function (r,i) {
    if(CvA[i][0]=='Italy') {
      dss.appendRow([BvA[i][0]]);
    }
  });  
}
