Script to copy a column to a row on new sheet with time stamp for daily log












0















I have a column I want to copy daily to a historical log in row form with a time stamp.



so from:



A



B



C



D



to:
MMDDYYY ABCD



I've figured out this code to copy the whole column:



function copyDailyreport() {
var sheetFrom = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("MSM");
var sheetTo = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("MSM Daily Totals");
var valuesToCopy = sheetFrom.getRange(4, 11, sheetFrom.getLastRow(), 1).getValues();
sheetTo.getRange(1,sheetTo.getLastRow()+1,valuesToCopy.length,1).setValues(valuesToCopy);
}


but I can't figure out how to get it to format to a row instead of a column-nor get the timestamp to attach to the string of data.

          You can try this code which converts column to row and also add the timestamp to the row.



          function copyDailyreport() {
          var timeStamp=Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), Session.getScriptTimeZone(), "MM/dd/yyyy");

          var sheetFrom = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("MSM");
          var sheetTo = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("MSM Daily Totals");
          var valuesToCopy = sheetFrom.getRange(4, 11, sheetFrom.getLastRow(), 1).getValues();

          //convert the column to a row
          valuesToCopy=valuesToCopy.join('*#*');
          valuesToCopy=valuesToCopy.split('*#*');

          //add timestamp in the first place in the row
          valuesToCopy.unshift(timeStamp)

          //add the row to destination sheet
          sheetTo.appendRow(valuesToCopy);

          }
