How to update a different google sheet when pulling information from the first sheet? - pandas

Question

I'm able to pull from googlesheets and update the same sheet I pulled from. (The script will only work for the first sheet for the google spreadsheet.)
After pulling from the first sheet I want to generate a report which works, but I don't want it to overwrite the first sheet, instead I want it to put the information on a separate sheet I made. Here's what I have sofar when trying to change my script to work with a different sheet.
def get_google_sheet(spreadsheet_id, range_name):
# Retrieve sheet data using OAuth credentials and Google Python API.
global scopes
global gsheet
scopes = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets']
# Setup the Sheets API
store = file.Storage('credentials1.json')
creds = store.get()
if not creds or creds.invalid:
flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets('client_secret.json', scopes)
creds = tools.run_flow(flow, store)
service = build('sheets', 'v4', http=creds.authorize(Http()))
# Call the Sheets API
gsheet = service.spreadsheets().values().get(spreadsheetId=spreadsheet_id, range=range_name).execute()
return gsheet
def gsheet2df(gsheet):
# Converts Google sheet data to a Pandas DataFrame.
header = gsheet.get('values', [])[0] # Assumes first line is header!
values = gsheet.get('values', [])[1:] # Everything else is data.
#header = values[0]
if not values:
print('No data found.')
else:
df = pd.DataFrame.from_records(values)
df.columns = header
return df
def Export_Data_To_Sheets():
store = file.Storage('credentials.json')
creds = store.get()
if not creds or creds.invalid:
flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets('client_secret.json', scopes)
creds = tools.run_flow(flow, store)
service = build('sheets', 'v4', http=creds.authorize(Http()))
RANGE_AND_SHEET = "ReportListA1:E500"
response_date = service.spreadsheets().values().update(
spreadsheetId=SPREADSHEET_ID,
valueInputOption='RAW',
range=RANGE_AND_SHEET,
body=dict(
majorDimension='ROWS',
values=df.T.reset_index().T.values.tolist())
).execute()
print('Sheet successfully Updated')
When I use just the range without identifying the sheet it works no problem. With the range and sheet I get this error.

I already have two different credential files for different authentication scopes. I also deleted them and reauthenticated, so I'm not sure why I'm getting a 400 error.

Answer:
You need to specify the sheet you wish to update in the range portion of the request.
More Information:
service.open('SheetName').sheet is not a thing - open is not a method of the service, the Sheets service doesn't know at this point what Spreadsheet you are trying to update the values of.
As per the documentation, you need to specify the range of values you wish to update in the range parameter. This includes the Sheet name.
Code Snippet:
RANGE_AND_SHEET = "ReportList!" + RANGE_NAME
response_date = service.spreadsheets().values().update(
spreadsheetId=SPREADSHEET_ID,
range=RANGE_AND_SHEET,
valueInputOption='RAW',
body=value_range_body).execute()
