I have an spreadsheet with information like this:



Columnn 1 Column 2

Event 1   00:00:00

Event 2   00:03:25

.

.


If I use this script:



function export() {

  var folderName = "the folder";    

  var folder = DriveApp.getFoldersByName(folderName).next();      

  var name = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getName();

  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();

  var values = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();

  var text = values.map(function (a) {return a.join(' ');}).join('n');

  var file = DriveApp.createFile(name+'.txt', text);

  folder.addFile(file);      

}


I got a file like this:



Event 1 Sat Dec 30 1899 01:42:46 GMT-0300 (CLST)

Event 2 Sat Dec 30 1899 01:46:11 GMT-0300 (CLST)

.

.


But I would like it to be like:



Event 1 00:00:00

Event 2 00:03:25

.

.


What I'm doing wrong??

  • I'm assuming your numbers are time durations. Try this Logger.log(Utilities.formatDate(value,Session.getScriptTimeZone(), "HH:mm:ss")); where value is the cell value.

  • When getting date/time data, Google scripts converts it into a date time javascript object.


  • Use getDisplayValues() instead: 



     var values = sheet.getDataRange().getDisplayValues();
