CodePudding user response：

I believe your goal is as follows.

You want to put the CSV data to the specification sheet in the active Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script.
From i can't find the code to enter number ( gid ) of my sheet, you want to choose the sheet using the sheet ID (gid).

Modification points:

In order to put the values to the specific sheet, you can achieve it by modifying var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1'); to var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('importCSV'); from your sample image.
If you want to chose the sheet using the sheet ID (gid), you can use the script like var sheet = ss.getSheets().filter(s => s.getSheetId() == gid);.
In your script, each row is put to the sheet in a loop. In this case, the process cost will be high. You can modify your for loop as sheet.getRange(1, 1, csvData.length, csvData[0].length).setValues(csvData);.

When the above points are reflected in your script, it becomes as follows.

Modified script:

In this modified script, the CSV data is put to the specific sheet using the sheet ID (gid).

function myFunction() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  var url = 'https://your-data-source.csv';
  var text = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getContentText();
  var csvData = Utilities.parseCsv(text);

  var gid = "1234567890";  // Please set your sheet ID (gid).
  var sheet = ss.getSheets().filter(s => s.getSheetId() == gid);
  if (sheet.length == 1) {
    sheet[0].getRange(1, 1, csvData.length, csvData[0].length).setValues(csvData);
  }
}

or, you can also achieve your goal by modifying var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1'); to var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('importCSV');. In this modified script, the CSV data is put to the sheet importCSV.

function myFunction() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  var url = 'https://your-data-source.csv';
  var text = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getContentText();
  var csvData = Utilities.parseCsv(text);

  var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('importCSV');  // Please set the sheet name.
  sheet[0].getRange(1, 1, csvData.length, csvData[0].length).setValues(csvData);
}

Note:

As the additional information, when you want to put the CSV data to a sheet in other Spreadsheet, you can achieve this by modifying from var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(); to var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("###Spreadsheet title###");.
