How to link spreadsheets with Google Script Editor?












0















I'm trying to link two different spreadsheets - by that, I mean to different Google Spreadsheet files with each other. I want to be able to get data from one spreadsheet and do different functions in another. I already know how to share data between sheets, just not spreadsheets. Would love some help on this. Here's my code below:



var app = SpreadsheetApp; // creates application
var r_volunteers = app.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet(); // creates spreadsheet, then gets active sheet named "raw_values"
var housing_roster = app.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("housing_roster"); // creates variable for housing roster sheet
var totalOfVolunteers = r_volunteers.getLastRow() - 1; // -1 due to row of headers
var sorting_range = r_volunteers.getRange(2, 2, totalOfVolunteers, 12); // declares sorting range, which is all form responses

function onFormSubmit() {

/*** SIGNATURES ***/

var signature = Math.random().toString(36).substr(2, 9); // random string for signature
r_volunteers.getRange(totalOfVolunteers + 1, 2).setValue(signature); // assigns signature as text

r_volunteers.sort(6); // sorts all responses by hall (a-z)
}


I would love some help on this. I couldn't seem to find anything in the Google Script overview. Thanks in advance!

  • I'm sorry for my poor English skill. Can I ask you about your question? 1. Can you provide the detail flow of what you want to do? 2. What is the difference between your script in your question and I want to be able to get data from one spreadsheet and do different functions in another.? 3. What is the issue of your current script?
