Google Apps Script, copy one spreadsheet to another spreadsheet with formatting

Solution 1:

Have you looked here:

https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/sheet#copyTo(Spreadsheet)

copyTo(spreadsheet)

Copies the sheet to another spreadsheet. The destination spreadsheet can be the source. The new spreadsheet will have the name "Copy of [original spreadsheet name]".

 var source = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();

 var sheet = source.getSheets()[0];

 var destination = SpreadsheetApp.openById("ID_GOES HERE");

 sheet.copyTo(destination);

Solution 2:

If you want to duplicate a sheet of a particular spreadsheet, you can use:

SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().duplicateActiveSheet();

This will create a copy of your current sheet and make that copy as active.

duplicateActiveSheet()

Keep scripting :)

Solution 3:

In case Anybody would like to just copy formats of particular range in particular sheet
