Google Scripts automatically add date to column in Google Sheets - datetime

Question

I am trying to use a Google script that retrieves 2 securities fields from GOOGLEFINANCE and saves the output to a Google Sheet file. I need the script to also add the datetime to the first column of the Sheet.
I have created a basic Google Sheet with 3 columns:
A is formatted to DateTime. It has column name date in row 1 and is empty in rows 2 onwards
C has the column name price in row 1 and is empty in rows 2 onwards
D has the column name pe in row 1 and is empty in rows 2 onwards
Here is my function:
function myStocks() {
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
sh.insertRowAfter(1);
sh.getRange("A2").setValue(new Date());
sh.getRange("C2").setFormula('=GOOGLEFINANCE("GOOG", "price")');
sh.getRange("D2").setFormula('=GOOGLEFINANCE("GOOG", "pe")');
}
Here is the output:
Date price pe
12/10/2017 22:44:31 1037.05 34.55
12/10/2017 22:43:24 1037.05 34.55
The output of columns C and D is correct. The output of column A is wrong. Every time I run the function, each new row is added ABOVE the last row:
The first time I ran the function was at 12/10/2017 22:43:24 and it added that row first.
The second time I ran the function was 12/10/2017 22:44:31 BUT it added that row ABOVE the last row in the sheet - I wanted it to add the new row BELOW the last row.
Is there a way to auto fill the datetime downwards in a single column in GoogleSheets, using a script function?

Answer 1

How about the following modifications?
Modification points :
sh.insertRowAfter(1) means that a row is inserted between 1 row and 2 row.
In your situation, you can retrieve the last row using getLastRow().
getRange("A2").setValue(), getRange("C2").setFormula() and getRange("D2").setFormula() mean that the values are imported to "A2", "C2" and "D2", respectively.
By this, the values are always imported to 2 row.
When you want to import several values and formulas to sheet, you can use setValues() and setFormulas().
The script which was reflected above points is as follows.
Modified script :
function myStocks() {
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var lastrow = sh.getLastRow() + 1; // This means a next row of last row.
sh.getRange(lastrow, 1).setValue(new Date());
var formulas = [['=GOOGLEFINANCE("GOOG", "price")', '=GOOGLEFINANCE("GOOG", "pe")']];
sh.getRange(lastrow, 3, 1, 2).setFormulas(formulas);
}
Note :
In your script, date and 2 formulas are imported, simultaneously. The modified script works the same to this.
