1D Array to fill a spreadsheet column

Question

I\'m using the built-in group service to pull a list of usernames...

function getUsersInGroup(group) {
  var usersInGroup = GroupsApp.getGroupByEmail(group).         


        

Answer 1

You can also use the sheets API, If you don't want to loop through.

Use Advanced Google services and switching majorDimension as columns:

  var data = [ 'person1@email.com', 'person2@email.com', 'person3@email.com' ];
  var request = {
    range: 'Sheet1!A1',
    majorDimension: 'COLUMNS',
    values: [data], //still 2D
  };
  //API must be enabled before use. 
  //https://developers.google.com/apps-script/advanced/sheets
  Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.update(request, ss.getId(), request.range, {
    valueInputOption: 'USER_ENTERED',
  });

Or loop through:

data = data.map(function(e){return [e];});

Answer 2

As @TheMaster pointed out, a simple loop with the map function worked well. Here's what I did:

function writeArrayToColumn(array) {
  var mainSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet(); 

  var newArray = array.map(function (el) {
    return [el];
  });

  var range = mainSheet.getRange(2, 1, newArray.length, 1);

  range.setValues(newArray);
}
