Parameters Name Type Description text String The sole acceptable value. Return

ConditionalFormatRuleBuilder — The builder, for chaining.

whenTextStartsWith(text)

Sets the conditional format rule to trigger when that the input starts with the given value.

// Adds a conditional format rule to a sheet that causes cells in range A1:B3 to
// turn red if they start with the text "hello".

const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
const range = sheet.getRange('A1:B3');
const rule = SpreadsheetApp.newConditionalFormatRule()
                 .whenTextStartsWith('hello')
                 .setBackground('#FF0000')
                 .setRanges([range])
                 .build();
const rules = sheet.getConditionalFormatRules();
rules.push(rule);
sheet.setConditionalFormatRules(rules);
Parameters Name Type Description text String Text to compare against the beginning of the string. Return

ConditionalFormatRuleBuilder — The builder, for chaining.

withCriteria(criteria, args)

Sets the conditional format rule to criteria defined by BooleanCriteria values, typically taken from the criteria and arguments of an existing rule.

// Adds a new conditional format rule that is a copy of the first active
// conditional format rule, except it instead sets its cells to have a black
// background color.

const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
const rules = sheet.getConditionalFormatRules();
const booleanCondition = rules[0].getBooleanCondition();
if (booleanCondition != null) {
  const rule = SpreadsheetApp.newConditionalFormatRule()
                   .withCriteria(
                       booleanCondition.getCriteriaType(),
                       booleanCondition.getCriteriaValues(),
                       )
                   .setBackground('#000000')
                   .setRanges(rules[0].getRanges())
                   .build();
  rules.push(rule);
}
sheet.setConditionalFormatRules(rules);
Parameters Name Type Description criteria BooleanCriteria The type of conditional format criteria. args Object[] An array of arguments appropriate to the criteria type; the number of arguments and their type match the corresponding when...() method above. Return
