Using the google simple mail merge (https://developers.google.com/apps-script/articles/mail_merge) I have tried and tried but cannot work out a way to email just the last row, rather than emailing for every row when the script is run.
Any help much appreciated!
function sendEmails() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var dataSheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var dataRange = dataSheet.getRange(2, 1, dataSheet.getMaxRows() - 1, 4);
var templateSheet = ss.getSheets()[1];
var emailTemplate = templateSheet.getRange("A1").getValue();
// Create one JavaScript object per row of data.
var objects = getRowsData(dataSheet, dataRange);
// For every row object, create a personalized email from a template and send
// it to the appropriate person.
for (var i = 0; i < objects.length; ++i) {
// Get a row object
var rowData = objects[i];
// Generate a personalized email.
// Given a template string, replace markers (for instance ${"First Name"}) with
// the corresponding value in a row object (for instance rowData.firstName).
var emailText = fillInTemplateFromObject(emailTemplate, rowData);
var emailSubject = "Tutorial: Simple Mail Merge";
MailApp.sendEmail(rowData.emailAddress, emailSubject, emailText);
}
}
FIXED: In case any one is ever interested:
Change:
var rowData = objects[i]
to:
var rowData = objects[objects.length-1];
and:
for var (i = 0; i < objects,length; ++i) {
to just:
var i = 0; i < objects,length; ++i;

Instead of writing your value into the range dest_sheet.getRange(1, 1, numRowsDest, numCols)
retrieve the last row of your destination sheet and write starting with the next row
var destLastRow=dest_sheet.getLastRow();
var dest_range = dest_sheet.getRange(destLastRow+1, 1, numRowsDest, numCols);
dest_range.setValues(dest_values);

I want to remove duplicates across 2 different sheets.
I have my active sheet, and I want to remove duplicates that already exist in my sheet "Blacklist". I want to run this process for both Column A and Column B (or simply for any values across the entire sheets). When a duplicate is found, I want to leave the row in tact but replace the value with '' (e.g. an empty cell).
I have a working version I mangled together, but only for the active sheet.
N.B. it's the findDuplicate function that I use, the removeDuplicate function I left there not to mess anything up :)
// this is a Google Apps Script project
function onOpen() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var menuItems = [
{ name: 'Find duplicates...', functionName: 'findDuplicate' },
{ name: 'Remove duplicates...', functionName: 'removeDuplicate' }
];
spreadsheet.addMenu('Duplicates', menuItems);
}
function removeDuplicate() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var range = sheet.getActiveRange();
var data = range.getValues();
var rowNum = range.getRow();
var columnNum = range.getColumn();
var columnLength = data[0].length;
var uniqueData = [];
var duplicateData = [];
// iterate through each 'row' of the selected range
// x is
// y is
var x = 0;
var y = data.length;
// when row is
while (x < y) {
var row = data[x];
var duplicate = false;
// iterate through the uniqueData array to see if 'row' already exists
for (var j = 0; j < uniqueData.length; j++) {
if (row.join() == uniqueData[j].join()) {
// if there is a duplicate, delete the 'row' from the sheet and add it to the duplicateData array
duplicate = true;
var duplicateRange = sheet.getRange(
rowNum + x,
columnNum,
1,
columnLength
);
duplicateRange.deleteCells(SpreadsheetApp.Dimension.ROWS);
duplicateData.push(row);
// rows shift up by one when duplicate is deleted
// in effect, it skips a line
// so we need to decrement x to stay in the same line
x--;
y--;
range = sheet.getActiveRange();
data = range.getValues();
// return;
}
}
// if there are no duplicates, add 'row' to the uniqueData array
if (!duplicate) {
uniqueData.push(row);
}
x++;
}
}
function findDuplicate() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var range = sheet.getActiveRange();
var data = range.getValues();
var rowNum = range.getRow();
var columnNum = range.getColumn();
var columnLength = data[0].length;
var uniqueData = [];
// iterate through each 'row' of the selected range
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var row = data[i];
var duplicate = false;
// iterate through the uniqueData array to see if 'row' already exists
for (var j = 0; j < uniqueData.length; j++) {
if (row.join() == uniqueData[j].join()) {
// if there is a duplicate, highlight the 'row' from the sheet
duplicate = true;
var duplicateRange = sheet.getRange(
rowNum + i,
columnNum,
1,
columnLength
);
duplicateRange.setValue('');
}
}
// if there are no duplicates, add 'row' to the uniqueData array
if (!duplicate) {
uniqueData.push(row);
}
}
}
Thanks so much for your help! I've been at this for a few hours and figured I should just ask the experts for advice :)
The first lines of both your removeDuplicate and findDuplicate function seems indeed to indicate that you refer to the active spreadsheet / sheet / range
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var range = sheet.getActiveRange();
var data = range.getValues();
If you want to be able to use the same function for a given spreadsheet / sheet / range which is not the active one, you will need to use other functions than the getActiveXXX().
For example, to get the sheet named "Blacklist", you should use
sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName("Blacklist")
(see also https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/spreadsheet#getsheetbynamename)
If you want to access a specific range which differs from the active range, you should use the getRange method (see also https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/spreadsheet#getrangea1notation)
Note that getRange method can be used in different ways, e.g.
getRange("A1:D4"), getRange(1, 1, 3, 3) (the parameters being respectively startRow, startColumn, numRows,numColumns)
Additionally, if you don't want to hardcode the last line of your 2 columns, you will most probably need this function to find the last line in the code :
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/spreadsheet#getlastrow
(there is also an example there showing how to use getRange() in combination with getLastRow()).
I hope this will help you going further.
Please note that I didn't check the rest of your code and just assumed that your deduplication logic works fine as you mentioned it in your commment.
Good luck !
I'm having trouble matching a string in an array. Column B2:Lastrow is defined as array which is "ID". I am trying to paste only unique entries to google sheet which aren't available in Column B2:Lastrow. Issue is..when I run the code it allows duplicates in the google sheet as well.
I was using it through count formula on the sheet but that leads to maximum code runtime error..hence I'm using the range as an array. Solves the error but not able to recognize if the string is unique.
// Code: List Gmail Label to Google Sheet and save attachment to GDrive
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Summary');
var label = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName("Caterpiller Account");
var threads = label.getThreads();
function getEmails() {
for (var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) {
var row = sheet.getLastRow() + 1;
var message = threads[i].getMessages()[0];
var ID = message.getId();
var fulldata = sheet.getRange('B2:B' + row).getValues();
if (fulldata.indexOf(ID) == -1) {
var messages=threads[i].getMessages();
var listID=threads[i].getPermalink();
var listdate=threads[i].getLastMessageDate();
var message = threads[i].getMessages()[0];
var attachment = message.getAttachments();
var attachmentBlob = message.getAttachments()[0].copyBlob();
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById("1ilsecZOexqTWGfAMu5xJDx1pKh3z1US-");
// EXTRACTOR CODE:
for (var m=0; m < messages.length; m++) {
sheet.getRange(row,1).setValue(messages[m].getSubject());
sheet.getRange(row,2).setValue(ID);
sheet.getRange(row,3).setValue(listdate); // Value - Date
for (var z=0; z<attachment.length; z++) {
var file = DriveApp.getFolderById("1ilsecZOexqTWGfAMu5xJDx1pKh3z1US-").createFile(attachmentBlob);
//Pending: Weblinkview (basically get permanent url of file) / Or self developed function that gets file through description (where description is email ID)
}
row++;
}
}
}
}
Expected: Unique entries & a faster Code runtime.
Actual: I'm crap & code time is still the same.
bool IsSame(string str,char arr[100])
{
if(str.lenght!=strlen(arr))return false;
for(int i=0;i<str.lenght;i++)
{
if(str[i]!=arr[i]) return false;
}
return true;
}
I currently have a list with two columns. The first column is student name, and the second column is the number of points they have.
I imported this list from multiple spreadsheets so there were many duplicates on the names of the students. I am able to remove the duplicates, but I want to keep a tally on the total points they have. For example:
Amy 10
Bob 9
Carol 15
Amy 12
would turn into:
Amy 22
Bob 9
Carol 15
This is what I have so far:
var target = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = target.getSheetByName("Sheet2");
var data = sheet.getRange("A2:B1000").getValues();
var newData = new Array();
var k = 0
var finallist = []
for(i in data){
k++;
var row = data[i];
var duplicate = false;
for(j in newData){
if(row[0] == newData[j][0]){
duplicate = true;
var storedHour = sheet.getRange("B"+k).getValue();
var position = finallist.indexOf(row[0]);
var originalCell = sheet.getRange("B"+(position+1));
var originalHour = originalCell.getValue();
originalCell.setValue(originalHour + storedHour);
sheet.getRange(k,2).setValue("")
sheet.getRange(k,1).setValue("")
}
}
if(!duplicate){
newData.push(row);
finallist.push(row[0])
}
}
}
The problem I'm having is that we have a really large data sample and I'm afraid it may run over Google's 5 minute maximum execution time. Is there another more efficient way to achieve my goal?
Your code is running slow because Spreadsheets API methods (like getRange) are time consuming and much slower then other JavaScript code.
Here is optimized function with reduced number of such Spreadsheets API calls:
function calcNumbers()
{
var target = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = target.getSheetByName("Sheet2");
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(2, 1, lastRow-1, 2);
var data = dataRange.getValues();
var pointsByName = {};
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
{
var row = data[i];
var curName = row[0];
var curNumber = row[1];
// empty name
if (!curName.trim())
{
continue;
}
// if name found first time, save it to object
if (!pointsByName[curName])
{
pointsByName[curName] = Number(curNumber);
}
// if duplicate, sum numbers
else
{
pointsByName[curName] += curNumber;
}
}
// prepare data for output
var outputData = Object.keys(pointsByName).map(function(name){
return [name, pointsByName[name]];
});
// clear old data
dataRange.clearContent();
// write calculated data
var newDataRange = sheet.getRange(2, 1, outputData.length, 2);
newDataRange.setValues(outputData);
}
Sorting before comparing allows looking at the next item only instead of all items for each iteration. A spillover benefit is finallist result is alphabatized. Execution time reduction significant.
function sumDups() {
var target = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = target.getSheetByName("Sheet2");
var data = sheet.getRange("A2:B" + sheet.getLastRow()).getValues().sort();
var finallist = [];
for(var i = 0; i<= data.length - 1; i++){
var hours = data[i][1];
while((i < data.length - 1) && (data[i][0] == data[i+1][0])) {
hours += data[i+1][1];
i++;
};
finallist.push([data[i][0], hours]);
};
Logger.log(finallist);
}
Edit: the simple data structure with the name being in the first column allows this to work. For anything more complex understanding and applying the methods shown in #Kos's answer is preferable
