Export Range of Data from One Google Spreadsheet to Another using Google Apps Script

Question

I have two different Google Spreadsheets with two different SheetIDs (Spreadsheet_Source and Spreadsheet_Target). I am looking to copy a Range("B3:AE55") from Spreadsheet_Source to Range("B3:AE55") in Spreadsheet_Target. I used a for loop to get majority of the formatting, however, the code takes over a minute to execute.

Is there an easier way to copy the data AND its formatting from Spreadsheet_Source to Spreadsheet_Target WITHOUT using the copyTo() function?

Current Apps Script Code:

 function exportOrderData() { var sourceSpreadsheetID = ""; var sourceWorksheetName = "AddOrders"; var targetSpreadsheetID = ""; var targetWorksheetName = "CopyToTest"; // The "AddOrders" Child Sheet from the "SignDreamersInventory" Parent Sheet var sourceSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(sourceSpreadsheetID); var sourceWorksheet = sourceSpreadsheet.getSheetByName(sourceWorksheetName); var sourceData = sourceWorksheet.getRange("B3:D55").activate(); // Gets Order #1 Data // The "CopyToTest" Child Sheet from the "CopyToTest" Parent Sheet var toSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(targetSpreadsheetID); var targetWorksheet = toSpreadsheet.getSheetByName(targetWorksheetName); var targetRange = targetWorksheet.getRange(1, 1, sourceData.getNumRows(), sourceData.getNumColumns()); var rowStart = 3; var columnStart = 2; var backgroundColor = ""; var kitSelectRowStarts = 9; var kitSelectRowEnds = 10; sourceNumberOfColumns = 30; // 30 Columns holding the Order Information sourceNumberOfRows = 52; // 55 Rows holding the Order Information for(var i = 0; i <= 30; i++){ for(var j = 0; j <= 52; j++){ backgroundColor = sourceWorksheet.getRange(rowStart + i, columnStart + j).getBackground(); formula = sourceWorksheet.getRange(rowStart + i, columnStart + j).getFormula(); text = sourceWorksheet.getRange(rowStart + i, columnStart + j).getValue(); fontWeight = sourceWorksheet.getRange(rowStart + i, columnStart + j).getFontWeight(); fontSize = sourceWorksheet.getRange(rowStart + i, columnStart + j).getFontSize(); fontColor = sourceWorksheet.getRange(rowStart + i, columnStart + j).getFontColor(); textHorAlignment = sourceWorksheet.getRange(rowStart + i, columnStart + j).getHorizontalAlignment(); textVerAlignment = sourceWorksheet.getRange(rowStart + i, columnStart + j).getVerticalAlignment(); //Logger.log(wrap[0][0]); // Override and set background, font weight, wrap, etc. // targetWorksheet.getRange(rowStart + i, columnStart + j).setBackground(backgroundColor) // WRAP only the Kit Rows if(i == 6 || i == 7){ targetWorksheet.getRange(rowStart + i, columnStart + j).setWrapStrategy(SpreadsheetApp.WrapStrategy.WRAP); } else{ targetWorksheet.getRange(rowStart + i, columnStart + j).setWrapStrategy(SpreadsheetApp.WrapStrategy.CLIP); } targetWorksheet.getRange(rowStart + i, columnStart + j).setValue(text).setFontWeight(fontWeight).setFontSize(fontSize).setFontColor(fontColor).setHorizontalAlignment(textHorAlignment).setVerticalAlignment(textVerAlignment); } } }

Try this:

function exportOrderData() {
  const sss=SpreadsheetApp.openById("ssid");//src
  const ssh=sss.getSheetByName("AddOrders");
  const tss=SpreadsheetApp.openById('ssid');//tgt
  const tsh=tss.getSheetByName("CopyToTest")
  const nsh=ssh.copyTo(tss);
  nsh.getRange("B3:D55").copyTo(tsh.getRange("A1"));
  tss.deleteSheet(nsh);
}

Sheet.copyTo(Spreadsheet)

range.copy(range)
