I helped one of our athletic directors do some budget sheets for different teams.
We then needed to add an additional sheet to all the workbooks and copy over content from a similar page. Given it’s about 20 or so workbooks, I scripted it.
//this function does the looping
function addAllRecruitingPages(){
const parentFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById("LONG_STRING_ID_YOU_SHOULD_WRITE_IN_THESE_QUOTES");//get this folder by ID
const files = parentFolder.getFiles()
while (files.hasNext()) { //for each file in this folder
const childFile = files.next();
let contentType = childFile.getMimeType(); //get the type of file
if(contentType == "application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet"){ // if it's a spreadsheet
const fileId = childFile.getId();//get the id
if(fileId != 'IGNORE_THIS_ID_HERE'){
addRecruitingPage(fileId);//do the function with the ss ID
}
}
}
}
//this function does the copying
function addRecruitingPage(fileId){
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(fileId);
const newSheet = ss.insertSheet('recruiting',4);//insert sheet and name it recruiting
const newCells = newSheet.getRange('A1:H1');
const funds = ss.getSheetByName('fundraising');//get existing sheet named fundraising
const fundCells = funds.getRange('A1:H1');//get this range of cells
fundCells.copyTo(newCells); //copy it to the new recruiting sheet
}
