How can I merge multiple tabs in a Google Spreadsheet using Google App Script ? Data in all the tabs keep changing.
For example, I have 'Sheet1', 'Sheet2' and 'Sheet3' in a Google spreadsheet. Data in all these sheets have 3 columns - Name and email ID & Region. Now, I want to merge/combine the data present in these 3 sheets/tabs into a 4th Sheet i.e. 'Sheet 4' having same Columns (name, email Id & Region). The 4th sheet should have data as - data of Sheet1 followed by Sheet2 and then Sheet3. The number of rows in all the 3 sheets keeps changing.
Select sheets to consolidate. Import more files from Drive if necessary straight from the add-on. Pick the function to consolidate in Google Sheets. Choose the way to add up cells in Google Sheets: by labels (header labels, left column labels, or both) or position.
To concatenate two strings (i.e., to join them together), use the concatenation operator ( + ). Both the concatenation operator and the addition operator have the same symbol + but Apps Script will figure out which operation to perform based on the values being operated on.
Just navigate to tools-> Script editor on your google sheet and paste the code to your google sheet console. The code would first ask for permission to run, do not worry, after giving the permission, the code would create a ‘Merge Sheets’ menu. Upon clicking the drop-down, the code would create a tab MasterMerge and combine all the tabs onto that.
In Google Sheets, you can consolidate data from multiple sheets using a formula based on the Query. It’s simple to learn! We can use the Query function in Google Sheets to combine multiple sheets and consolidate data. What more! The data consolidation in this way is not limited to Sheets in a single file.
You can pull entire tables to one file by referencing cells with data from other sheets. Note. This will do if you need to merge two or more sheets within one Google spreadsheet. To merge multiple Google spreadsheets into one, jump right to the next method.
Another way to import data from multiple Google Sheets is to export each sheet first, and then import them all to a necessary file: Open the spreadsheet that contains the sheet you'd like to pull the data from. Make the sheet of interest active by selecting it.
=query({Sheet1!A1:C; Sheet2!A1:C; Sheet3!A1:C}, "where Col1 is not null", 0)
I wouldn't use a script for this; the worksheet formulas are much faster, at least most of the time. Make sure you use semicolons to separate the ranges. Semicolons are the End_Of_Row operator for array literals.
If you really want to use a script...
function combineSheets() {
var sApp = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var s1= sApp.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var s2= sApp.getSheetByName("Sheet2");
var s3= sApp.getSheetByName("Sheet3");
var s4= sApp.getSheetByName("Sheet4");
// If Sheet4 doesn't exist you'll need to create it here.
var s1values = s1.getRange(1,1,s1.getLastRow(),3).getValues();
var s2values = s2.getRange(1,1,s2.getLastRow(),3).getValues();
var s3values = s3.getRange(1,1,s3.getLastRow(),3).getValues();
// Now, we can put out all together and stuff it in Sheet4
var s4values = [];
s4values = s1values.concat(s2values,s3values);
s4.getRange(1,1,s4values.length,3).setValues(s4values);
}
