get
Active
Cell()
Returns the active cell in this sheet.
Note:
It's preferable to use get
, which returns the current
highlighted cell.
const ss = SpreadsheetApp . getActiveSpreadsheet (); const sheet = ss . getSheets ()[ 0 ]; // Returns the active cell const cell = sheet . getActiveCell ();
Return

get
Active
Range()
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.
The term "active range" refers to the range that a user has selected in the active sheet, but in a custom function it refers to the cell being actively recalculated.
const sheet = SpreadsheetApp . getActiveSpreadsheet (). getActiveSheet (); const activeRange = sheet . getActiveRange ();
Return
Range
— the active range

get
Active
Range
List()
Returns the list of active ranges in the active sheet or null
if there are no active
ranges.
If there is a single range selected, this behaves as a get
call.
const sheet = SpreadsheetApp . getActiveSheet (); // Returns the list of active ranges. const activeRangeList = sheet . getActiveRangeList ();
Return
Range
— the list of active ranges

get
Active
Sheet()
Gets the active sheet in a spreadsheet.
The active sheet in a spreadsheet is the sheet that is being displayed in the spreadsheet UI.
const sheet = SpreadsheetApp . getActiveSpreadsheet (). getActiveSheet ();
Return
Sheet
— The active sheet in the spreadsheet.
get
As(contentType)
Return the data inside this object as a blob converted to the specified content type. This method adds the appropriate extension to the filename—for example, "myfile.pdf". However, it assumes that the part of the filename that follows the last period (if any) is an existing extension that should be replaced. Consequently, "ShoppingList.12.25.2014" becomes "ShoppingList.12.25.pdf".
To view the daily quotas for conversions, see Quotas for Google Services . Newly created Google Workspace domains might be temporarily subject to stricter quotas.
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
content
|
String
|
The MIME type to convert to. For most blobs, 'application/pdf'
is
the only valid option. For images in BMP, GIF, JPEG, or PNG format, any of 'image/bmp'
, 'image/gif'
, 'image/jpeg'
, or 'image/png'
are also
valid. For a Google Docs document, 'text/markdown'
is also valid. |
Return
Blob
— The data as a blob.
get
Bandings()

border. There is never more than one current cell. When a user selects one or more cell ranges,
one of the cells in the selection is the current cell.
