javascript - Moving filtered values (copy and paste values) using google sheet script while ignoring the column heading / title

Question

I would like to copy and paste VALUES only from source sheet to target sheet using google scripts.

I have filter applied in the column so I am only looking to copy the cells that are present / filtered (not all values).

In the example that I have built, I have:

Source sheet (copy values from): Sheet1 Target sheet (paste values to): Sheet2

Sheet1 screenshot:

Process / Steps:

When I select any particular color in "Fav_color" in column A..let's say "yellow".

Now, Members are filtered accordingly.

On the button click, I want my google script function to run that copies the filtered Member Names and paste it in Sheet2.

Problem: In Sheet 2: I am getting column heading / title as well "Member Name" while I only want member names (not the actual column name).

I do know the problem as in my code, I am copying complete B column but I do not know how to exclude column heading / title.

function transfer() {
 var sss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
 var ss = sss.getSheetByName('Sheet1'); 
 var range = ss.getRange('A1:A'); 
 var data = range.getValues();

 var tss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
 var ts = tss.getSheetByName('Sheet2');
 ts.getRange('A:A').clearContent();

  ts.getRange('A:A').clearContent();
  ss.getRange("B:B").copyTo(ts.getRange("A2"), {contentsOnly:true});

}

Answer 1

Issue:

If you use,

ss.getRange("B2:B").copyTo(ts.getRange("A2"), {contentsOnly:true});

it always bring the value from B2 cell even if it is not visible in filtered results

Solution:

You can get the first non-filtered row number using Sheet#isRowHiddenByFilter

Snippet:

function copycolB() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  var sourceSheet = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
  var targetSheet = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet2');
  for(var row = 2; sourceSheet.isRowHiddenByFilter(row); ++row);//get first  visible row from row2
  var sourceRange = sourceSheet.getRange('B' + row + ':B');
  sourceRange.copyTo(
    targetSheet.getRange('A2'),
    {contentsOnly:true});
}
