Method: spreadsheets.values.append

Appends values to a spreadsheet. The input range is used to search for existing data and find a "table" within that range. Values will be appended to the next row of the table, starting with the first column of the table. See the guide and sample code for specific details of how tables are detected and data is appended.

The caller must specify the spreadsheet ID, range, and a valueInputOption. The valueInputOption only controls how the input data will be added to the sheet (column-wise or row-wise), it does not influence what cell the data starts being written to.

Query parameters

Parameters
valueInputOption

enum (ValueInputOption)

How the input data should be interpreted.
insertDataOption

enum (InsertDataOption)

How the input data should be inserted.
includeValuesInResponse

boolean

Determines if the update response should include the values of the cells that were appended. By default, responses do not include the updated values.

enum (ValueRenderOption)

Determines how values in the response should be rendered. The default render option is FORMATTED_VALUE.
responseDateTimeRenderOption

enum (DateTimeRenderOption)

Determines how dates, times, and durations in the response should be rendered. This is ignored if responseValueRenderOption is FORMATTED_VALUE. The default dateTime render option is SERIAL_NUMBER.

Request body

The request body contains an instance of ValueRange.

Response body

The response when updating a range of values in a spreadsheet.

If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:

JSON representation 
{
  "spreadsheetId": string,
  "tableRange": string,
  "updates": {
    object (UpdateValuesResponse)
  }
}
Fields
spreadsheetId

string

The spreadsheet the updates were applied to.
tableRange

string

InsertDataOption

Determines how existing data is changed when new data is input.
