I have a google sheet with a column that contains the dates of the year. It is used as a planning. Using conditional formatting, the date of today is coloured green. It would be nice to always open the spreadsheet at this specific row, when the document is loaded. Is this possible using Google Apps Script or using another Google Sheets setting?
Try
Sheet.getRange(row,1).activate()

I have a Google Sheets spreadsheet with several tabs. Data is written to the 'tracker' tab constantly by a script which is writing information from incoming files. So new rows are constantly being added.
The tracker tab has a number of 'filter views' built using the UI. The data range that these filter views point to does not update when new rows are added.
I have seen some scripts which seem to be able to update the range if usng the Google Sheets API. However, I need something that runs within Google Apps Script itself..
Can anyone help?
The answer was to add the Google Sheets API via the add Services menu.
I am new to Google apps script.
my question is that how to export one or multiple columns from google sheet to google docs using apps script that to be in single doc
You may want to take a look at the many mail merge add-ons. Choose Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons and search for "mail merge" to get started. If your sheet is a Microsoft Excel file, you will have to File > Save as Google Sheet to use add-ons.
AutoCrat is a pretty decent free mail merge tool that lets you create a single text document that lays out all the rows in the sheet the way you want, or alternatively lets you create multiple documents where each document lays out data from a single row of the sheet.
I have a google sheets which is linked to a form and a google scripts that was created in the menu of google sheets. This script runs fine and I use it to format the data. However, I have another script which I created from the google developer console, which sends and receives data from a website. I need this second script to get the value of a cell in the google sheets.
How can I link this second form to the google sheets while keeping the script already linked to the sheets?
When looking at responses to other questions they seem to be about individual sheets in a set so just to clarify, when referring to google sheets I mean the whole google sheets document. I only have one sheet anyways.
If it helps: The script I want to add acts a bit like a server and is being deployed by google scripts while the script that is already linked is only run when I call it on the sheets.
There is not way of attaching a standalone script to a document making it a bound script (which is the actual terminology for the script linked the the document).
The simplest way would be to copy-paste the code to the other script. You can deploy the bounded script.
If you really need more than one project for whatever reason, you can enable the Apps Script API and use projects.create (read reference) to create another one. If you don't know what this means, you probably shouldn't use it as it's finicky at best.
I found a solution which was to link the script to the google sheets using
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("SHEET_ID_HERE");
I can then use ss.getActiveSheet().getRange().getValue();
and other funtions.
Thanks for the help!
I have put together a rather large script file that does a lot of math. It seems to me that if I place a script variable value on the spreadsheet (setValues()), the whole spreadsheet recalcs (i.e.; it takes awhile to refresh). Is that true?
What if I want to format a cell from script (e.g.; change a number cell to a percentage cell with 3 places)[FormattedSS.getRange(rangecoordinates).setNumberFormat("#.###%");]? When I set the format, does the whole spreadsheet recalculate?
I am new to Google Sheets. In Excel, I could set calculation off. Google sheets does not seem to have that option.
Google sheets has no manual calculation option. You would need to create a formula to check whether to run the rest of the formula. If the output is a single cell you can easily use a circular reference to retain the value.
When it comes to Google App Scripts every time you execute a script there will be an annoying delay, that is just how it works, the App Script should be avoided at all cost in a normal spreadsheet except for when actually necessary.
Google App Script Server -> Google Sheet (delay to send information back and forth)
Google Sheet always recalculates after any change
I am working on a google sheet,I want to highlight the price change between 2 sheets.Based upon SKU.Mean if there is difference in the price (col B) in sheet1 and sheet2 then that item should be highlighted.
I have done this functionality using Google Apps script but it is taking time to process the data in bulk.
I am looking to complete this using inbuilt google functions(Conditional formatting rule).
Is there a way to achieve this using Google inbuilt function.
