Streamline Your Google Sheets with a Custom Script

Managing multiple spreadsheets can be a hassle. Whether you’re working with sales data, project management, or any other crucial information, knowing how to quickly gather insights from these files can save you a lot of time. If you're looking to create a Google Apps Script that lists all the spreadsheets in a folder and retrieves specific information, you've come to the right place!

The Challenge

You want to achieve the following with a Google Apps Script:

List all spreadsheets in a specific Google Drive folder.

Retrieve their names and URLs.

Access the last cell from the first sheet of each spreadsheet.

Create an importrange formula to conveniently reference the data.

You’ve managed to list the names and URLs, but you’re stuck figuring out how to identify and access the last cell of each spreadsheet. Let’s break this down step-by-step.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Create Your Base Script

Start by setting up a basic script that can access your folder and list out the names and URLs of the spreadsheets. Your initial code looks good, so let’s refine it! Here’s the updated version:

4. Generating the importrange Formula

To create the importrange formula, you can do this directly in your script or directly in your sheet. This depends on how you want to manage your data.

Generating the Formula in Code

You may want to add a new column for this in your array. Below is a way to format the importrange output:

Incorporate this line just after pushing the lastCell into the row array.

5. Final Thoughts

By using the above script, you can efficiently compile a list of spreadsheets along with essential details in a separate Google Sheet. This method not only streamlines your workflow but also ensures you have quick access to critical information.

If any adjustments are needed or if you have further questions, feel free to ask!

You’ve now equipped yourself with a powerful Google Apps Script that will make handling multiple spreadsheets a breeze.
