I'm trying to do the following:
- Loop through column "A" in "Customer" and get corresponding sheet name.
- Get the sheet and copy all used range in sheet, e.g (A;B;C;etc) to the specific files referenced in column B.
Here's the code I've written so far:
function updatefile() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sh = ss.getSheetByName('CUSTOMER')
var data = sh.getRange("A2:B12").getValues(); // get the range of non empty cells
for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) {
var source = ss.getSheetByName(data[i][0]);
var range = source.getRange('C3:M1003'); //assign the range you want to copy
var data = range.getValues();
var destination = SpreadsheetApp.openById(data[i][1]); // open the corresponding file by using the file id in the second column
var destbodya = destination.getSheetByName('UPDATE ON ORDERS');
destbodya.getRange(ts.getLastRow()+1, 1,49,7).setValues(data); //you will need to define the size of the copied data see getRange()
}
}

I finally got this to work after a lot of searching and trials. for those who comes by such challenges. Cheers
function updatefile() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sh = ss.getSheetByName('CUSTOMER')
var data = sh.getRange("A2:B73").getValues(); // get the range of non emmpty cells
for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) {
if (data[i][0] != '') {
var source = ss.getSheetByName(data[i][0]);
var range = source.getRange('C3:M1003'); //assign the range you want to copy
var valuedata = range.getValues();
//var destination = SpreadsheetApp.openById("xxxxxxxxxxxxrrrrrsomeID"); // enter file ID directly or the nest line
var destination = SpreadsheetApp.openById(data[i][1]); // Iterate through the range and open the corresponding file by using the file id in the secound column
var dest_1body = destination.getSheetByName('blah blah sheetname'); // first sheet destination to copy data to
dest_1body.getRange("A2:K1002").setValues(valuedata); //you will need to define the size of the copied data see getRange()
var destination = SpreadsheetApp.openById(data[i][1]); // open the coresponding file by using the file id in the secound column
var dest_2body = destination.getSheetByName('blah blah sheetname'); // second sheet to copy same data to
dest_2body.getRange("A28:K1028").setValues(valuedata); //you will need to define the size of the copied data see getRange()
}
}
