Usage

sheet_append(ss, data, sheet = 1)

Arguments

ss

Something that identifies a Google Sheet:

• its file id as a string or drive_id

• a URL from which we can recover the id

• a one-row dribble, which is how googledrive represents Drive files

• an instance of googlesheets4_spreadsheet, which is what gs4_get() returns

Processed through as_sheets_id().

data

sheet

Sheet to append to, in the sense of "worksheet" or "tab". You can identify a sheet by name, with a string, or by position, with a number.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
if (gs4_has_token()) {
  # we will recreate the table of "other" deaths from this example Sheet
  (deaths <- gs4_example("deaths") %>%
    range_read(range = "other_data", col_types = "????DD"))

  # split the data into 3 pieces, which we will send separately
  deaths_one   <- deaths[ 1:5, ]
  deaths_two   <- deaths[   6, ]
  deaths_three <- deaths[7:10, ]

  # create a Sheet and send the first chunk of data
  ss <- gs4_create("sheet-append-demo", sheets = list(deaths = deaths_one))

  # append a single row
  ss %>% sheet_append(deaths_two)

  # append remaining rows
  ss %>% sheet_append(deaths_three)

  # read and check against the original
  deaths_replica <- range_read(ss, col_types = "????DD")
  identical(deaths, deaths_replica)

  # clean up
  gs4_find("sheet-append-demo") %>%
    googledrive::drive_trash()
}
# }
