I recently started using slicers in Google Sheets and I would like to find a solution (probably with Apps Script) to access the current value selected in a slicer of my Spreadsheet.
Do you have any leads to solve this problem?

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 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!
Within a Standalone App ScriptI'm creating a new spread sheet using the following line:
var new_ss = SpreadsheetApp.create("File_Name");
Now I wanna link a predefined App Script to this spreadsheet. How to do this? I couldn't find any method within the Documentation or by searching Google
I found the ScriptApp, but it doesn't provide any methods. I also found the API, but i don't think its available within App Script
I was looking for the same answer and bacuase I haven't find it, I change my approach. I created a script bound to a Google Sheet. When a new Google Sheet is needed I make a copy of the "template" Google Sheet with the bound script. I have a sheet name Parameters so the users can control the bound script.
I have a google apps script that I use on the response sheet that results from a google form. I would like this script to always be available on any response sheet that gets created from a google form. I think I need to turn my script into an add-on, but I haven't found a simple explanation on how to do that.
