I am struggling to write codes that find me the first empty row of a google sheet.
I am using gspread package from github.com/burnash/gspread
I would be glad if someone can help :)
I currently have just imported modules and opened the worksheet
scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds']
credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name('ddddd-61d0b758772b.json', scope)
gc = gspread.authorize(credentials)
sheet = gc.open("Event Discovery")
ws = sheet.worksheet('Event Discovery')
I want to find row 1158 which is the first empty row of the worksheet with a function, which means everytime the old empty row is filled, it will find the next empty row See here
I solved this using:
def next_available_row(worksheet):
str_list = list(filter(None, worksheet.col_values(1)))
return str(len(str_list)+1)
scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds']
credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name('auth.json', scope)
gc = gspread.authorize(credentials)
worksheet = gc.open("sheet name").sheet1
next_row = next_available_row(worksheet)
#insert on the next available row
worksheet.update_acell("A{}".format(next_row), somevar)
worksheet.update_acell("B{}".format(next_row), somevar2)
