Google Sheets + Apps Scripts，从一个工作表复制/粘贴到另一个工作表，但粘贴到特定列 (B) 中的第一个空单元格

Question

• I am trying to write a script that will copy data from a range on one sheet and paste to another in the first empty cell in column B. I have a script that can paste it into the first empty cell in the sheet and that works fine, but I have a static row of ID numbers in column A, so when it pastes the data it is way down the sheet. So, I need a way to skip over column A and paste into the first empty cell in column B. Hope that makes sense.

• The other part is there will be empty cells in column B sometimes. So it needs to skip over those to get the very last empty cell.

• I found a tutorial to get that last empty cell and have that working fine, but can't figure out how to incorporate it into a function that will paste the data. Here is what I have so far:

 function myFunction() { var sss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1dp5s8G9vFF5LzF5mAaY-JoySLGekh5UKHwt6jFcGOnA'); var ss = sss.getSheetByName('Form'); var range = ss.getRange('A8:H'); var data = range.getValues(); var tss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1Vq_xX9cbC6OBAh1IRKsVKSPQvc5FEUFsJ2mlPzuFZ6o'); var ts = tss.getSheetByName('Data'); var columnToCheck = ts.getRange("B:B").getValues(); var lastRow = getLastRowSpecial(columnToCheck); Logger.log(lastRow) }; function getLastRowSpecial(range){ var rowNum = 0; var blank = false; for(var row = 0; row < range.length; row++){ if(range[row][0] === "" && !blank){ rowNum = row; blank = true; }else if(range[row][0] !== ""){ blank = false; }; }; return rowNum; };

• So basically I need a function that will setValues(data) at the cell determined by "lastRow"

• Alternatively, if anyone has a suggestion on how this may be accomplished a different way, I would love to hear it.

Answer 1

Explanation:

• You are very close. The getLastRowSpecial function indeed gets the last row of column B and it takes into account the blank cells.

• Your goal is then to use the returned value lastRow and set the data starting from lastRow+1 by using setValues .

   ts.getRange(lastRow+1,2,data.length,data[0].length).setValues(data);

• Another modification I made in your script was instead of taking the full data range, I get only until the last row with content. If this does not work for you then skip that part and use your solution. This is the part I modified:

   var range = ss.getRange('A8:H'+ss.getLastRow());

Solution:

I only modified myFunction :

function myFunction() {
  var sss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1dp5s8G9vFF5LzF5mAaY-JoySLGekh5UKHwt6jFcGOnA');
  
  var ss = sss.getSheetByName('Form'); 
  var range = ss.getRange('A8:H'+ss.getLastRow()); // new code
  var data = range.getValues();
 
     var tss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1Vq_xX9cbC6OBAh1IRKsVKSPQvc5FEUFsJ2mlPzuFZ6o');
     var ts = tss.getSheetByName('Data');
     var columnToCheck = ts.getRange("B:B").getValues();
     var lastRow = getLastRowSpecial(columnToCheck);
     
     ts.getRange(lastRow+1,2,data.length,data[0].length).setValues(data); // new code

};
 
function getLastRowSpecial(range){
  var rowNum = 0;
  var blank = false;
  for(var row = 0; row < range.length; row++){
 
    if(range[row][0] === "" && !blank){
      rowNum = row;
      blank = true;
    }else if(range[row][0] !== ""){
      blank = false;
    };
  };
  return rowNum;
};
