Top Tips for Google Apps Script

10 tips to help you improve your Google Apps Script coding:

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

2
1. Use the Google Apps Script Debugger: Google Apps Script
has a built-in debugger that can help you find and fix errors
in your code.
2. Test your code with sample data: Before you run your code
on real data, test it with a small set of sample data to make
sure it works as expected.
3. Use proper naming conventions: Naming your variables and
functions in a consistent and descriptive manner will make
your code easier to read and understand.
4. Comment your code: Adding comments to your code will
help you (and others) understand what your code is doing,
especially if it's complex.
5. Use arrays and objects effectively: Arrays and objects are
powerful data structures in Google Apps Script. Learn how to
use them effectively to simplify your code and make it more
readable.
6. Use built-in functions and methods: Google Apps Script has
many built-in functions and methods that you can use to
perform common tasks. Take advantage of these to save
time and make your code more efficient.
7. Avoid hardcoding values: Avoid hardcoding values in your
code, such as cell references or URLs, as this can make your
code difficult to maintain. Instead, use variables and
functions to make your code more flexible.

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

3
 8. Use error handling: Use error handling techniques to handle
unexpected errors and keep your code running smoothly.
9. Write modular code: Write modular code by breaking your
code into small, reusable functions that can be used in
multiple places.
10. Keep your code organized: Keeping your code organized
by using proper indentation, separating code into different
functions and sections, and using meaningful variable names
will make it easier to read, understand, and maintain.

Converting a Google Document to plain text

https://youtu.be/csnsdM3NuJk

Converting a Google Document to plain text:

function convertToPlainText() {
// Get the active document
const document = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();

// Get the body of the document

const body = document.getBody();

// Get the plain text representation of the document

const plainText = body.getText();

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

4
 // Log the plain text to the console
Logger.log(plainText);
}

In this example, the convertToPlainText() function uses the

DocumentApp class to convert a Google Document to plain text.
The DocumentApp.getActiveDocument() method is used to get
the active document, and the document.getBody() method is
used to get the body of the document. The body.getText()
method is then used to get the plain text representation of the
document, which is logged to the console using the Logger.log()
method.

Send the text version of the Doc using Apps Script to the email
address of the apps script account

function converterText(){
const doc = DocumentApp.openById(ID);
const body = doc.getBody(); //DocumentBodySection
const txt = body.getText();
const email = Session.getActiveUser().getEmail();
//Logger.log(email);
MailApp.sendEmail(email,'My Doc Text',txt);
}

Google Sheets add numbers from columns
https://youtu.be/O5PgoPCmcQU

Google Apps Script that adds two numbers and displays the result
in a Google Sheets cell:

function sumTwoNumbers() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var cell1 = sheet.getRange("A1").getValue();
var cell2 = sheet.getRange("B1").getValue();
var result = cell1 + cell2;
sheet.getRange("C1").setValue(result);
}

Explanation:

function sumTwoNumbers(): This is the declaration of the function

sumTwoNumbers, which contains the code that will be executed.

var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();: This line creates

a variable sheet and assigns the active sheet to it using the
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet() method.

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

6
var cell1 = sheet.getRange("A1").getValue();: This line creates a
variable cell1 and assigns the value of cell A1 to it using the
getValue() method.

var cell2 = sheet.getRange("B1").getValue();: This line creates a

variable cell2 and assigns the value of cell B1 to it using the
getValue() method.

var result = cell1 + cell2;: This line creates a variable result and
assigns the sum of cell1 and cell2 to it.

sheet.getRange("C1").setValue(result);: This line sets the value

of cell C1 to the value of result using the setValue() method.

To run this script, you would need to open a Google Sheet and
then open the Apps Script editor by clicking on the "Tools" menu
and selecting "Script editor." Then, paste the code into the editor,
save the script, and run the sumTwoNumbers() function.

Add Image to Sheet Cell

https://youtu.be/cbfxoPjqvhs

add an image to a cell in a Google Sheets spreadsheet using

Google Apps Script:

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

9
function addImageToCell() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var imageUrl = "https://www.example.com/image.png";
var img = UrlFetchApp.fetch(imageUrl).getBlob();

sheet.insertImage(img, 1,1);
}

Explanation:

First, we get a reference to the active sheet using

SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().

Next, we get a reference to the cell where we want to insert the

image using sheet.getRange("A1"). You can specify any cell you
want by changing the argument to getRange().

Then, we specify the URL of the image we want to insert using

the imageUrl variable.

We use the UrlFetchApp.fetch() method to retrieve the image

data from the specified URL. This method returns a Response
object, which we get the binary data (the image) from using
getBlob().

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

10
Finally, we use the sheet.insertImage() method to insert the
image into the specified cell. The first argument is the image data
(the blob we obtained in step 4), and the second argument is the
cell reference.

function imageAdder(){
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ID);
const sheet = ss.getSheetByName('my');
const imageURL =
'http://www.discoveryvip.com/img/d.png';
const img = UrlFetchApp.fetch(imageURL).getBlob();
sheet.insertImage(img,20,20);
Logger.log(img);
}

New CellImage in Sheets

To add an image into a specific cell this can be done using the
newCellImage method.

function imageAdderCell(){
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ID);
const sheet = ss.getSheetByName('my');

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

11
 const range = sheet.getRange(1,1,3,3);
const imageURL =
'http://www.discoveryvip.com/img/d.png';
const image = SpreadsheetApp
.newCellImage()
.setSourceUrl(imageURL)
.setAltTextTitle('discoveryvip')
.build();
range.setValue(image);
}

Logging to the console

https://youtu.be/mxCnyr5Ov7w

basic syntax and structure of a Google Apps Script.

function helloWorld() {
// This line logs "Hello, world!" to the console
Logger.log("Hello, world!");
}

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

12
This is a simple function named helloWorld that logs the string
"Hello, world!" to the Google Apps Script logging console.

Here's what's happening in this example:

The function keyword declares that this is a function.

The helloWorld function name follows the function keyword.
The code inside the curly braces {} is the body of the function.
The Logger.log statement logs the message "Hello, world!" to the
console.
You can run this script by selecting the code and clicking the
"Run" button in the Google Apps Script editor, or by pressing Ctrl
+ Enter (Cmd + Enter on a Mac). When you run this script, the
message "Hello, world!" will appear in the logging console.

This is just a simple example, but Google Apps Script provides a

wide range of functionality that you can use to automate tasks,
manipulate data, and interact with other Google Workspace
services. With a little bit of code, you can streamline your work
and save yourself a lot of time.

function hello(){
const message = 'Laurence Svekis';
Logger.log(message);

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

13
 for(let i=0;i<20;i++){
Logger.log(i);
}
}

Adding numbers and showing an alert

Sheets Add Numbers UI Alert.
Google Apps Script that adds up two numbers and displays the
result in a dialog box:

function addNumbers() {
var num1 = 5;
var num2 = 3;
var result = num1 + num2;
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().alert("The result is: " +
result);
Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/
14
}

Explanation:

The function addNumbers is defined.

Two variables num1 and num2 are defined and assigned values of
5 and 3 respectively.
The result of num1 + num2 is calculated and stored in the
variable result.
The SpreadsheetApp.getUi().alert method is used to display a
dialog box with the text "The result is: 8", which is the value of
the result variable.
This script can be run in a Google Spreadsheet by opening the
script editor (under the "Tools" menu), copying and pasting the
code into the editor, and then clicking the "Run" button

function showAl(){
const num1 = 100;
const num2 = 144;
const result = num1 + num2;
const output = `The result of ${num1} + ${num2} =
${result}`;
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().alert(output);
}

Read Data from from Sheet
https://youtu.be/FLY0pYMzl-o

Google Apps Script that reads data from a Google Sheet,

performs calculations on the data, and writes the results back to
the sheet:

function calculateAverages() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();

var total = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
total += data[i][0];
}
var average = total / data.length;

sheet.getRange(data.length + 1, 1).setValue(average);
}
Explanation:

The function calculateAverages is defined.

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

16
The sheet variable is set to the active sheet in the current
spreadsheet using the SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet method.
The data variable is set to the values of all cells in the active
sheet using the sheet.getDataRange().getValues method.
A for loop is used to sum up the values in the first column of the
data array. The total variable is used to keep track of the sum.
The average value is calculated by dividing the total by the
number of rows in the data (data.length).
The average value is written to the next empty row in the first
column of the sheet using the sheet.getRange(data.length + 1,
1).setValue method.
This script can be run in a Google Spreadsheet by opening the
script editor (under the "Tools" menu), copying and pasting the
code into the editor, and then clicking the "Run" button. It will
read the data in the sheet, perform the calculation, and write the
result to the next empty row in column A.

Explanation:

The function formatSheet is defined.

The sheet variable is set to the active sheet in the current
spreadsheet using the SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet method.
The data variable is set to the values of all cells in the active
sheet using the sheet.getDataRange().getValues method.
The header row is formatted in bold by getting the range of cells
in the first row and using the setFontWeight method to set the
font weight to "bold".
Borders are added to all cells by getting the range of all cells and
using the setBorder method to set all borders to true.
The sum of the values in column 1 is calculated using a for loop
and stored in the sum variable.
The sum is written to the bottom of column 1 using the
sheet.getRange(data.length + 1, 1).setValue method.
A bar chart is created to visualize the data in column 1 using the
Charts service and the sheet.newChart method. The chart
options, such as the title and dimensions, are set using the
setOption method. The chart is inserted into the sheet using the
sheet.insertChart method.

Sheet data to populate Calendar

Google Apps Script that copies the data from a Google Sheet to a
Google Calendar:

function copyToCalendar() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var calendar =
CalendarApp.getCalendarById("your_calendar_id");

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

37
 for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) {
var date = data[i][0];
var eventName = data[i][1];
var description = data[i][2];

var start = new Date(date);

var end = new Date(date);
end.setHours(end.getHours() + 1);

calendar.createEvent(eventName, start, end, { description:

description });
}
}
Explanation:

The function copyToCalendar is defined.

The sheet variable is set to the active sheet in the current
spreadsheet using the SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet method.
The data variable is set to the values of all cells in the active
sheet using the sheet.getDataRange().getValues method.
The calendar variable is set to the calendar with the specified ID
using the CalendarApp.getCalendarById method. Replace
"your_calendar_id" with the actual ID of your calendar.

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

38
A for loop is used to iterate through the rows in the data array,
starting from the second row (the first row is assumed to contain
headers).
For each row, the date, event name, and description are stored in
the date, eventName, and description variables respectively.
The start variable is set to a new date object created from the
date variable.
The end variable is set to a new date object created from the date
variable, with the number of hours increased by 1.
A new event is created in the calendar using the
calendar.createEvent method, with the event name, start and end
times, and description specified by eventName, start, end, and
description respectively.

Logs Email Attachments details

https://youtu.be/JvvHPMsAGcM

Google Apps Script that logs information about all attachments in

a Gmail account:

function logAttachments() {
var threads = GmailApp.search("has:attachment");

for (var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) {

var messages = threads[i].getMessages();

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

39
 for (var j = 0; j < messages.length; j++) {
var attachments = messages[j].getAttachments();

for (var k = 0; k < attachments.length; k++) {

var attachment = attachments[k];
var fileName = attachment.getName();
var size = attachment.getSize();

Logger.log("Attachment: " + fileName + " -

Size: " + size + " bytes");
}
}
}
}

Explanation:

The function logAttachments is defined.

The threads variable is set to an array of all threads in the Gmail
account that have attachments, using the GmailApp.search
method with the query "has:attachment".
A for loop is used to iterate through the threads in the threads
array.

Laurence Svekis https://basescripts.com/

40
For each thread, the messages variable is set to an array of all
messages in the thread using the threads[i].getMessages
method.
Another for loop is used to iterate through the messages in the
messages array.
For each message, the attachments variable is set to an array of
all attachments in the message using the
messages[j].getAttachments method.
Another for loop is used to iterate through the attachments in the
attachments array.
For each attachment, the fileName and size variables are set to
the name and size of the attachment respectively, using the
attachment.getName and attachment.getSize methods.
The information about the attachment is logged to the Google
Apps Script log using the Logger.log method.

Create folder in drive from Sheet Data
https://youtu.be/CSmcH7KNRnw

Google Apps Script that creates a new folder in Google Drive for
each row in a Google Sheet and stores a PDF file with the
contents of a specific column in that folder:

function createFoldersAndFiles() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var parentFolder =
DriveApp.getFolderById("your_parent_folder_id");

for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) {

var folderName = data[i][0];
var contents = data[i][1];
var folder = parentFolder.createFolder(folderName);

var file = folder.createFile("contents.pdf", contents,

MimeType.PDF);
}
}
