I am attempting to run a script that will copy info from multiple different sheets to a different file. I am having issues with the forEach function. The error I am getting is:
Error
ReferenceError: sheets is not defined
copy @ Code.gs:9
copyInfo @ Code.gs:4
function copyInfo() {
var sheets = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheets(); // get all sheets
sheets.forEach(copy)
}
function copy() {
var sheetName = sheets.getActiveSheet.getName();
if(sheetName.includes("*"))
var copySheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var sheetName=copySheet.getName();
var pasteSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1NXmdq6yCKC6oiDAQNXcovj85697__rCeVJiIT_ou_gI");
//Create new sheet if one doesn't exist
var newSheet = pasteSpreadsheet.getSheetByName(sheetName);
if (newSheet != null)
pasteSpreadsheet.deleteSheet(newSheet);
newSheet = pasteSpreadsheet.insertSheet();
newSheet.setName(sheetName);
//Copy and paste data
// Clear the Google Sheet before copy
newSheet.clear({contentsOnly: true});
// get source range
var source = copySheet.getRange("B2:B");
var values = source.getValues();
// get destination range
var destination = newSheet.getRange(1,1,values.length,values[0].length);
// copy values to destination range
destination.setValues(values);
}
function copyInfo() {
const dontcopy = ["Sh1","Sh2",...];
var sheets = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheets(); // get all sheets
sheets.filter(sh => !~dontcopy.indexOf(sh.getName()).forEach(s => {
s.activate();
copy();
});
}
If you create a function to use with forEach, that function needs to accept an individual item as a parameter. In this case, each "sheet" from SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheets() will be passed as the first parameter into your copy function - but the copy function doesn't accept any params as is.
function copy(sheet) {
var sheetName = sheet.getName();
if(sheetName.includes("*"))
...
}
