工作表的谷歌脚本不复制单元格内的公式，只复制值

Question

I found this excellent script by --Hyde on support.google.com called moveRowsFromSpreadsheetToSpreadsheet , which enables the transfer of Google Sheet rows between a target sheet and a destination sheet, based on a value set in a dropdown cell for each row in the target sheet.

The challenge i'm facing is that the script is copying & pasting values only for each cell, not the formulas inside those cells .

My spreadsheet contains cells with =IMAGE() formulas and =HYPERLINK() formulas and these cells are transferred either empty (in cells where I have =IMAGE() formulas) or non-hyperlinked values only (in cells where I have =HYPERLINK() formulas).

My hope is, if at all possible, to find a way to modulate the script so it will copy & paste the rows as they are, with formulas and all , and not just values only for each cell. Similar to the manual copying & pasting of cell ranges.

I'm guessing it has to do with the targetRange.setValues([values]);class in line 269 which probably should have used the targetRange.copyTo(destination, options); class. I tried to change the class but it returned the following error: "The parameters (number[]) don't match the method signature for SpreadsheetApp.Range.copyTo. Code line 270"

Here is the script:

From the question

I tried to change the class but it returned the following error: "The parameters (number[]) don't match the method signature for SpreadsheetApp.Range.copyTo. Code line 270"

The error means that the first argument is an Array of numbers but SpreadsheetApp.Range.copyTo requires a Class Range object.

The solution to this error is to pass an appropiate object. By the other hand, the copyTo method should be applied to the source range instead of the target range.

Instead of

targetRange.copyTo(destination, options);

try

sourceRange.copyTo(targetRange, options);
