I have a simple "App" in google sheet when they press button it runs random number, then i want to store time and the value what they got in second sheet, as a log what happend.
I am new with scripting and i cannot find anywhere how to write to columns data from script.
Currently it only writes the data in to specified cell, but i want to put new record to new row.


JavaScript:
function getRandomInt() {
  return Math.floor(Math.random(0) * Math.floor(300));
}

function cleanCellNow() {
   var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
   var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
   var cell = sheet.getRange("A2");
   cell.setValue("");
  
}

function logTimeRightNow() {
  timezone = "GMT+" + new Date().getTimezoneOffset()/60
  var date = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), timezone, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var logData = ss.getSheets()[1];
  var logcell = logData.getRange("A2"); 
  logcell.setValue(date);
}



function areYouSearched() {
   var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();   
   var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
   var cell = sheet.getRange("A2");
   var resultData = ss.getSheets()[1];
   var resultcell = resultData.getRange("B2");
  if (getRandomInt() % 2 == 0)  {
    cell.setValue("Search Now");
    resultcell.setValue("Search Now");
    
    logTimeRightNow()
    SpreadsheetApp.flush();
    Utilities.sleep(5000);
    cleanCellNow();
    }
 
  else {
    cell.setValue("Pass");
    resultcell.setValue("Pass");
    
    logTimeRightNow()
    SpreadsheetApp.flush();
    Utilities.sleep(5000);
    cleanCellNow();
    }
  }

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
