    Summary<\/h2>\n

    In this blog post, we will explore how to retrieve values from a range in Apps Script. We will learn how to access a specific range in a spreadsheet, retrieve the values within that range, and log them using the Logger.<\/p>\n

    Code<\/h2>\n
    function getA1C3Values() {\n  const SS = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();\n  const T_SHEET2 = SS.getSheetByName('Sheet2');\n  const values = T_SHEET2.getRange('A1:C3').getValues();\n  Logger.log(values);\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Code Explanation<\/h2>\n
    The code defines a function named getA1C3Values<\/code>. It retrieves the active spreadsheet and assigns it to the SS<\/code> variable.<\/p>\n
    The code then gets the sheet named ‘Sheet2’ using the getSheetByName<\/code> method and assigns it to the T_SHEET2<\/code> variable.<\/p>\n
    The getRange<\/code> method is used to specify the range ‘A1:C3’ in the T_SHEET2<\/code> sheet. The getValues<\/code> method is called on the range to retrieve the values within that range.<\/p>\n
    The retrieved values are stored in the values<\/code> variable.<\/p>\n
    Finally, the Logger.log<\/code> method is used to log the retrieved values.<\/p>\n
    Example<\/h2>\n
    When the getA1C3Values<\/code> function is executed, the values within the ‘A1:C3’ range in ‘Sheet2’ will be logged in the Apps Script Logger.<\/p>\n
    AI Prompt<\/h2>\n
    Write a function that retrieves the values from the range ‘A1:C3’ in the sheet named ‘Sheet2’ of the active spreadsheet. Log the retrieved values using the Logger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
