@boudiccamorgana Think of the ranges like lego blocks. You can cut up the first sheet any way you want by defining different ranges that you want to copy, then you can put them wherever you want on the target sheet, combining the disparate ranges into one table.

Okay, so what does that look like in code? I'm trying to figure out how I would separate the blocks on the code - so I can have my ranges with

let sortRange = sheet.getSheetValues(2,1,lastRow, 7);
let otherRange = sheet.getSheetValues(9,1,lastRow, 6);

but I'm stuck on where to put the code to tell it where to paste?

I am totally new to writing scripts, so thanks in advance for your patience. When I try to run this script on my master sheet, I get "TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'getLastRow')"

Any advice? Thank you!
