Google sheets add button to download pdf

What I am trying to do is replicate automation which I have done in Excel into sheets. This script is the first step to it. What needs to be done so that only page1 of the sheet gets exported? How to specify sheet2 or any other sheet. I know it has something to do with the value in the address bar after GID but I am definitely doing something wrong when i replace the 0 with the sheet number.

Congratulations for the code, a question, it is possible to configure the pdf output file, for example its orientation? This code is exactly what I need! One problem: it still gives the REF error when you do it on a second or third tab that references another. I tried it both with the raw script in the original post, and with 3CatsM suggestion of switching from values to display values.

Neither worked. Both save a pdf that has REF in it. I made a fork to specify a cell which will be used as filename for the exported PDF. Sidenote: It's my first activity on github, so I don't know about forking customs or anything like that. Instead of saving as a PDF, how do you save the sheet as a new Google sheet file? JezVanderBrown this link will be helpful for you. I was able to very easily use it to export as a new Google Sheet. Now I'm trying to figure out this code to export as pdf lol.

If you add the code below at line 50 after replacing cell values with text then it will also remove all the notes on the temporary spreadsheet otherwise the notes will show up on a separate page of the pdf. Hi all, thanks a lot for the script and additional info! I am new to script and would appreciate your help in adapting this script to create the PDF from selected cells as opposed to the whole sheet. Many thanks!! The PDF file is saved in the google drive without folder.

I want to save PDF in drive folder. Please help me with this. I have tried to read all the comments to fix the code - but still getting REF, what have I missed. It is useful. But I have a question. When I export goolesheet to pdf, can I export 50 rows per a page of pdf?. If you have a solution, please teach me. I have a problem related to multiple pdf generation within my script. I can generate and register a pdf file from my sheet on my drive using the following code lines :.

These lines create a pdf file from my sheet "as it is" at the moment I start my script. Then I took this code and puted it in a loop to generate multiple pdf files for different customer using the same sheet Between every pdf file generation my script modifies one cell "A1" In other cells I have formulas refering to "A1" that should update their values. The problem is that the sheet does not update its values before each pdf file is generate.

Result is : All my pdf file are exactly the same :. On the other end, i can see that A1 has been updated on my sheet. It just does not change the content of the pdf file. Do you know anyway to "force" googlesheet to recalculate all values on a sheet before I generate the pdf file? But I have two question How to export PDF file to a specific folder and use Google spread file name instead of folder name? I am getting this error "You cannot delete a sheet with a linked form.

Please unlink the form first. When I save a spreadsheet that contains formulas, it saves in blank, without the content generated by the formulas. How can I solve this? I face the same problem Did you succeed to solve it? I would be very interested! Yes I finally succeeded but I forgot to post the answer, thank you for you heads-up. Before I generate each PDF file, I force googlesheet to update by making a new getrange on the whole sheet.

This is so helpful. Is there a way to have the script take all the sheets and export them to individual PDFs in the folder, rather than doing all of them separately? Load More Comments.

When I just had an image in a cell I could not find a way to assign a script. Are drawing and image totally different in Google land? But I also need a solution. I shared my Spreadsheet to the others by link. What should I do to make all buttons work for everyone I link to?

When we enter the name of the script in the Assign Script text box, how can I pass the function parameters? This new copy has to retain the titles, and formulas. Hi Scott, I came here to create a button for a similar script. Please help. Hi Ben, I did this and it worked amazingly! Any suggestions on how to make the button work on my mobile device?

I will make this button but i will make it so that if you push on the button the data will be placed on a other page or on the same page so i can find it back.

How can i do that? Your email address will not be published. To do that, add a Google Sheets button. This brings up the drawing editor where you can easily add a box and style it to look like a button: When you click Save and Close, this drawing gets added to your Google Sheet. To assign a script, click the three little dots in the top right of the drawing and select Assign Script: Then type in the name of the function you want to run from your Apps Script code.

Now, when you click the button it will clear out the invoice for you! Hi, I had a similar script to clear the contents but keep the formula. Hi Sanu, did you ever manage to achieve this, I have the same problem. Did you ever figured out how to fix it Mike Chesney?

I am having a similar problem. Hello: Thank you for this code. Hey Ben, Thank you for your ressourceful insights! Do you have any idea about a possible root cause of this error and is it familiar to you?
