How do I avoid overwritting a row in google sheet while seting values from API response

问题

I have a JavaScript code that gets response from API and sets the values on google spreadsheet.

The data that I get are users on a project that I need recorded to a sheet in spreadsheet.

The only challenge that I need help is avoiding overwriting existing sheet data on subsequent loop, how can I handle this ?

This first part gets project codes and uses it to make API call where the teams on all the projects are contained in a response.

function readDates() {
    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
    var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
    var range1 = sheet.getRange("C2:C" + sheet.getLastRow()).getValues();
    var searchString = "Project";
    var ahead = nextweek()
    var behind = lastweek()
    var team_array = [];

    for (var i = 0; i < range1.length; i++) {
        if (range1[i][0] >= behind && range1[i][0] <= ahead) {

            var lastRow = sheet.getRange(2 + i, 1, 1, 8).getValues();
            var dateval = lastRow[0][2]
            var data = {

                'project_id': lastRow[0][3] 
        };


        var options = {
            method: 'get',
            headers: {
                Authorization: 'Bearer ' + AUTH
            }
        };

        var url = tknurlL + Endpoint + data.project_id + '/users?auth=' + AUTH 
        var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
        var team = JSON.parse(response);
        var content = team.data;
        team_array.push(content);           

       var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Team');
        const lr = sheet.getLastRow();

        for (var j = 0; j < content.length; j++) {

            ss.getRange(2 + j, 1).setValue(content[j].id);
            ss.getRange(2 + j, 2).setValue(content[j].first_name);
            ss.getRange(2 + j, 3).setValue(content[j].last_name);
            ss.getRange(2 + j, 4).setValue(content[j].display_name);
            ss.getRange(2 + j, 5).setValue(content[j].email);
            ss.getRange(2 + j, 6).setValue(content[j].user_type_id);
            ss.getRange(2 + j, 7).setValue(content[j].role);

        }

       }
    }
   }

How about this modification?

Modification points:

• In your script, the same range of getRange(2 + j, 1) is used as the start range every time in the loop. By this, the values are overwritten by new content.
• In this modification, the for loop for content is removed and put the values at the outside of the for loop. The retrieved content is added to the array of contents in the 1st for loop. By this, all content values (contents) can be put to the sheet of Team by setValues. And also, the process cost can be reduced a little.

Modified script:

When your script is modified, please modify as follows.

From:

var team_array = [];
for (var i = 0; i < range1.length; i++) {
  if (range1[i][0] >= behind && range1[i][0] <= ahead) {
    var lastRow = sheet.getRange(2 + i, 1, 1, 8).getValues();
    var dateval = lastRow[0][2]
    var data = {'project_id': lastRow[0][3]};
    var options = {method: 'get',headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer ' + AUTH}};
    var url = tknurlL + Endpoint + data.project_id + '/users?auth=' + AUTH 
    var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
    var team = JSON.parse(response);
    var content = team.data;
    team_array.push(content);           
    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Team');
    const lr = sheet.getLastRow();
    for (var j = 0; j < content.length; j++) {
      ss.getRange(2 + j, 1).setValue(content[j].id);
      ss.getRange(2 + j, 2).setValue(content[j].first_name);
      ss.getRange(2 + j, 3).setValue(content[j].last_name);
      ss.getRange(2 + j, 4).setValue(content[j].display_name);
      ss.getRange(2 + j, 5).setValue(content[j].email);
      ss.getRange(2 + j, 6).setValue(content[j].user_type_id);
      ss.getRange(2 + j, 7).setValue(content[j].role);
    }
  }
}

To:

var contents = [];  // Added
var team_array = [];
for (var i = 0; i < range1.length; i++) {
  if (range1[i][0] >= behind && range1[i][0] <= ahead) {
    var lastRow = sheet.getRange(2 + i, 1, 1, 8).getValues();
    var dateval = lastRow[0][2]
    var data = {'project_id': lastRow[0][3]};
    var options = {method: 'get',headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer ' + AUTH}};
    var url = tknurlL + Endpoint + data.project_id + '/users?auth=' + AUTH 
    var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
    var team = JSON.parse(response);
    var content = team.data;
    team_array.push(content);
    contents = contents.concat(content);  // Added
  }
}
// I added below script.
if (contents.length > 0) {
  var dstSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Team');
  var values = contents.map(e => ([e.id, e.first_name, e.last_name, e.display_name, e.email, e.user_type_id, e.role]));
  dstSheet.getRange(2, 1, values.length, values[0].length).setValues(values);
}

Reference:

• setValues(values)
