Of course, I'd be glad to help you get that done! Here's a simple Google Apps Script that will export data from a Google Sheet to a CSV file and then offer a link to download it.

function exportSheetToCSV() {
  var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var sheet = spreadsheet.getActiveSheet();
  var range = sheet.getDataRange();
  var values = range.getValues();

  // To store the CSV content
  var csvContent = "";

  values.forEach(function(rowArray) {
    var row = rowArray.join(",");
    csvContent += row + "\r\n";
  });

  var fileName = sheet.getName() + ".csv";

  // Create the file in Google Drive
  var file = DriveApp.createFile(fileName, csvContent);

  // Get the download URL
  var fileUrl = file.getDownloadUrl();

  // Log the URL to the user - alternatively you can send an email
  Logger.log("Download your file from this URL: " + fileUrl);

  // Show URL in an alert box
  SpreadsheetApp.getUi().alert('Your file is ready. Download it from this link: ' + fileUrl);
}

Explanation:

1. Getting the Data:

   • SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet() grabs the active sheet.
   • getDataRange().getValues() retrieves the data from the entire sheet.

2. Formatting the Data:

   • We iterate through each row and join their values with commas to create CSV rows.

3. Creating the File:

   • DriveApp.createFile(fileName, csvContent) creates the CSV file in your Google Drive.

4. Getting the URL:

   • getDownloadUrl() provides a download link for the file.

5. Notification:

   • Logger.log() and SpreadsheetApp.getUi().alert() notify you where to find the file.

That's it! You've turned your Google Sheet into a neat CSV. Remember, the internet is like a good cheesecake; no question is too cheesy!
