In this post, I demonstrate the steps on creating a Custom HTML Form for Google Sheets using Google Apps Script.
How to Video:
Video Notes:
- Legacy Apps Script Editor Used in Video
- Apps Script (Script Editor) is now located under tab ‘Extensions’ instead of ‘Tools’ on Google Sheets
Code in Video:
function AddRecord(name) {
var ss= SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var mainSheet = ss.getSheetByName("MAIN");
mainSheet.appendRow([name, new Date()]);
}
function startForm()
{
var form = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('AddForm');
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showModalDialog(form, 'Add Record');
}
function addMenu()
{
var menu = SpreadsheetApp.getUi().createMenu('Custom');
menu.addItem('Add Record Form', 'startForm');
menu.addToUi();
}
function onOpen(e)
{
addMenu();
}<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<base target="_top">
<script>
function AddRow()
{
var name = document.getElementById("name").value;
google.script.run.AddRecord(name);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
Name: <input type="text" id="name" />
<input type="button" value="Add" onclick="AddRow()" />
