When I paste values from a formula with macro in google sheet the cell show empty
I need to copy the result of =now but only with values, the problem is that don't copy anything, for the example, y write the =now formula in F2 and I need to copy only the values in D2
spreadsheet.getRange('F2').activate();
spreadsheet.getCurrentCell().setFormula('=NOW()');
spreadsheet.getRange('D2').activate();
spreadsheet.getRange('F2').copyTo(spreadsheet.getActiveRange(),
SpreadsheetApp.CopyPasteType.PASTE_VALUES, false);
I need that paste values to save this moment if I copy the formula its update in every change and it is no valid for me
Try it this way:
function macro1() {
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sh=ss.getActiveSheet();
sh.getRange('F2').activate();
sh.getCurrentCell().setFormula('=NOW()');
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
sh.getRange('D2').activate();
sh.getRange('F2').copyTo(sh.getActiveRange(),SpreadsheetApp.CopyPasteType.PASTE_VALUES, false);
}
