VistasHow can I exclude null elements from data array?
I have been using Yuri's answer to a question, but found myself in a new situation and I haven't quite understood each step of this method here:
function myFunction() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var header = sheet.getDataRange().getValues()[0];
var data = [
["ID","Variação","Nome Site","Obs"],
[11602,185,"Camisa Teste","Teste da Observação"]
]
var indexes = header.map(x => data[0].indexOf(x));
data = data.map(x => indexes.map(i => x.slice()[0] = x[i]));
sheet.getRange(1, 1, data.length, data[0].length).setValues(data);
}
Here's what the result looks like:
let result = [
["ID","Variação","Nome Site","Obs", "", ""],
[11602,185,"Camisa Teste","Teste da Observação", "", ""]
]
Now, this is returning data with nulls. How can I make it return only mapped array elements?
So, instead of heaving an array length of 6, that'd be only 4.
Expected Result:
let expectedResult = [
["ID","Variação","Nome Site","Obs"],
[11602,185,"Camisa Teste","Teste da Observação"]
]
Thank you!

One possible reason why you are having null elements in your array is that the cells next to your header have " " or space character in it. Since you are using getDataRange() it will also include those " " characters in your array.
Example:
Here, I added space character to cells E1 and F1:
Here are the values of data after using map function:
If I remove the values of cells E1 and F1 the output of data is:
Null values can also occur if the values below the header overlap the number of columns in your header.
Example:
Output:
Solution:
Instead of using getDataRange(), explicitly define the range you are using for the header. You can use either getRange(row, column, numRows, numColumns) or getRange(a1Notation).

One way is to filter the inner values:
let result = [
["ID", "Variação", "Nome Site", "Obs", "", ""],
[11602, 185, "Camisa Teste", "Teste da Observação", "", ""]
]
result = result.map(x => x.filter(y => y))
console.log(result)0
Remove nulls
function test() {
Logger.log(JSON.stringify([1,2,3,null,4,null,5,''].filter(e => e)))
}
