Read Cells from Google Sheets in JavaScript or HTML

    I would like to be able to read the values in a column from Google Sheet with JavaScript of HTML and add the values to a ComboBox or use them for other purpose.



    Basically I want to imitate the following action in VBA with Excel. (In excel if I want to read the Values in Column A I would do something like)



    Dim i as integer

    Dim value as string

    i = 1

    //Read value on cell A1

    Value = Range(“A” & i).value

    //Keep reading values on column A till cell is empty

    While value <> ” ”

    Value = Range(“A” & i).value

    //Add the value to ComboBox

    With ComboBox1
    .AddItem value
    End With

    //Increase value of row to look at

    i = i + 1

    Do



    Thank you so much

    Here is the code that I tried. Could anyone help me to find out what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks


    <html>
    <head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});

    // To load this function when the window loads
    window.onload = function loadStates() {

    //I select only one value (In this case Alabama, to test if it works)
    var queryStringStates = encodeURIComponent('SELECT A LIMIT 1');
    var magicIncantation = '/gviz/tq?gid=0&headers=1&tq=';

    //Put the query together
    var queryStates = new google.visualization.Query(
    'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xfb9trifQA5KDPc9Nh5hBL4MJ290Mxcc1Uod2VTPzYI/edit' +
    magicIncantation + queryStringStates);

    //Get the data
    var dataStates = response.getDataTable();

    //Load the data (In this case the state of Alabama) to the Selector which is in the body part with the //State of Texas by default to make sure that the Selector loads
    var x = document.getElementById("mySelect");
    var option = document.createElement("option");
    option.text = dataStates;
    x.add(option);
    }
    </script>
    </head>

    <body>
    <select id="mySelect">
    <option value="Texas">Texas</option>
    </select>
    </body>
    </html>

    As of now Google doesn't seems to provide JS only API for Google sheets. You need to build a JAVA or ASP.NET server to read the Google Sheets and then have your JS code call REST APIs from that server to fetch data. Check https://developers.google.com/google-apps/spreadsheets/?hl=en

    I don't have a product yet. And I really need to test some stuff via the ClickBank API without having a product. Is it possible? And how?
