Create a new sheet based on new names in a column












0















I would like to have a script that will automatically search a column onSubmit for a persons name and copy the row to a sheet based on this name. If the sheet doesn't exist, i would like it created automatically, the names are entered into column C. The only answers to this i can find on StackOverflow are for when you know what names will appear. I do not know what the names will be. I tried this code by @CharlesHale but i can't get it to name the new sheet. Here is my code so far:



 function onFormSubmit() {

  // onFormSubmit

  // get submitted data

  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1eCdLnyx9Y2159gS0yVUxZLRsZSHxEGw0zUp5MqdSHVw');

  var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Form responses 1");

  var row = sheet.getLastRow();

  var Col = sheet.getLastColumn();

  var headings = sheet.getRange(1,1,1,

Col).getValues();

  var lastRow = sheet.getRange(row, 1, 1, Col);

  var name = sheet.getRange(row, Col).getValue();

  // check if username has sheet

  if(ss.getSheetByName(name)){

    var userSheet = ss.getSheetByName(name);

    // if not make

  } else {

   var userSheet = ss.insertSheet(name);

    userSheet.getRange(1,1,1,

headings[0].length).setValues(headings);

  }

  // copy submitted data to user's sheet

  userSheet.appendRow(lastRow.getValues()[0]);

  userSheet.setColumnWidth(1, 500);

  userSheet.setColumnWidth(2, 500);

  var FormatSheet = ss.getSheetByName(name);

  var FormatRange = FormatSheet.getRange(1,1);

  FormatRange.copyFormatToRange(userSheet,1,3,3,28);

}


I've attached my sheets for reference. Feedback form responses



Thanks in advance!

    This will allow you to check whether a sheet with this name exists and react accordingly stackoverflow.com/questions/48974770/…
