Try this:

It will allow you to select any column on the sheet.

var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();

function onOpen() {

  ui.createMenu('Sheet Functions')
 .addItem('Get values from column', 'getVals')
 .addToUi();    
 }

function getVals() {
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var getColumnLetter = ui.prompt('Select column..' , 'Enter the letter of the target column..', ui.ButtonSet.OK_CANCEL);
  if(getColumnLetter.getSelectedButton() == ui.Button.CANCEL) { 
  return } else {
  getColumnLetter = getColumnLetter.getResponseText().toUpperCase();
  }

var columnNo = getColumnLetter.charCodeAt(0) - 64;

try { var data = sheet.getRange(1, columnNo, sheet.getMaxRows()).getValues().filter(String); } catch (e) { ui.alert('Invalid input please try again.', ui.ButtonSet.OK); return;}
