Data execution throws an exception if the data source type isn't turned on. Use this method to turn data execution on for all data source types.
// Turns data execution on for all types of data sources. SpreadsheetApp.enableAllDataSourcesExecution(); // Opens the spreadsheet file by its ID. If you created your script from a // Google Sheets file, use SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(). // TODO(developer): Replace the ID with your own. const ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('abc123456'); // Gets the first data source sheet in the spreadsheet and refreshes the data. ss.getDataSourceSheets()[0].refreshData();Authorization

enableBigQueryExecution()
Turns data execution on for BigQuery data sources.
Data execution for BigQuery data source throws an exception if not turned on.
// Turns data execution on for BigQuery data sources. SpreadsheetApp.enableBigQueryExecution(); // Opens the spreadsheet file by its ID.

flush()
Applies all pending Spreadsheet changes.
Spreadsheet operations are sometimes bundled together to improve performance, such as when doing multiple calls to Range.getValue(). However, sometimes you may want to make sure that all pending changes are made right away, for instance to show users data as a script is executing.
// The code below changes the background color of cells A1 and B1 twenty times. // You should be able to see the updates live in the spreadsheet. If flush() is // not called, the updates may be applied live or may all be applied at once // when the script completes. function colors() { const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet(); for (let i = 0; i < 20; i++) { if (i % 2 === 0) { sheet.getRange('A1').setBackground('green'); sheet.getRange('B1').setBackground('red'); } else { sheet.getRange('A1').setBackground('red'); sheet.getRange('B1').setBackground('green'); } SpreadsheetApp.flush(); } }
getActive()
Returns the currently active spreadsheet, or null
if there is none.

Returns the selected range in the active sheet, or null
if there is no active range. If multiple ranges are selected this method returns only the last selected range.
This generally means the range that a user has selected in the active sheet, but in a custom function it refers to the cell being actively recalculated.
// The code below logs the background color for the active range. const colorObject = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange().getBackgroundObject(); // Assume the color has ColorType.RGB. Logger.log(colorObject.asRgbColor().asHexString());Return
Range
— The active range.

if there are no ranges selected. The active range containing the current highlighted cell is placed last in the list.
If there is a single range selected, this behaves as a getActiveRange()
call.
// Returns the list of active ranges. const rangeList = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRangeList();Return
