Question

I currently have this script :

function addConsultant()
{
var sheet_staffing = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Staffing"); 
var sheet_parametres = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Parametres");
var range_tabConsultant_default = sheet_parametres.getRange(26,1,6,64);
var row_position_newTab = sheet_parametres.getRange(1,1).getValue();
range_tabConsultant_default.copyFormatToRange(sheet_staffing, 1, 36, row_position_newTab, row_position_newTab + 6);
range_tabConsultant_default.copyValuesToRange(sheet_staffing, 1, 36, row_position_newTab, row_position_newTab + 6);
sheet_parametres.getRange(1,1).setValue(row_position_newTab+6);
}

This is like a default tab, their is one tab per person, but I dont know how to copy formulas from def tab to tab created by script. Can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

Take a look at the getFormulas and getFormulasR1C1 methods of the Range class.
You’ll also need to use the corresponding setFormulas or setFormulasR1C1.

[edit: to answer the comments]

If in the multi-cell range you’re copying mixed values and formulas. You’ll have to break up the calls into multiple sets, for either value or formula, as a single cell can only have one (or parse the plain values into simple formulas, e.g. =”value”).

To have your formulas “following” the reference, use the set/getFormulasR1C1 notation instead of the simpler set/getFormulas.
