    Summary<\/h2>\n

    In this blog post, we will explore how to retrieve values from multiple sheets in Apps Script. We will write a function that retrieves values from two specific sheets in a Google Spreadsheet and logs them using the Logger service.<\/p>\n

    Code<\/h2>\n
    function getA1C3Values_4() {\n  const SS = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();\n  const sheetNames = ['Sheet1', 'Sheet2'];\n\n  const T_SHEET1 = SS.getSheetByName(sheetNames[0]);\n  const value1 = T_SHEET1.getRange('A1:C3').getValues();\n\n  const T_SHEET2 = SS.getSheetByName(sheetNames[1]);\n  const value2 = T_SHEET2.getRange('A1:C3').getValues();\n\n  Logger.log(value1);\n  Logger.log(value2);\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Code Explanation<\/h2>\n
    The code defines a function named getA1C3Values_4<\/code>. It starts by getting the active spreadsheet using SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()<\/code>. Two sheet names, ‘Sheet1’ and ‘Sheet2’, are defined in an array.<\/p>\n
    The code then retrieves the first sheet using SS.getSheetByName(sheetNames[0])<\/code> and gets the values in the range A1:C3 using T_SHEET1.getRange('A1:C3').getValues()<\/code>. The same process is repeated for the second sheet.<\/p>\n
    The values are logged using Logger.log<\/code>.<\/p>\n
    Example<\/h2>\n
    When you execute the getA1C3Values_4<\/code> function, the values in the range A1:C3 from ‘Sheet1’ and ‘Sheet2’ will be logged in the Apps Script Logger.<\/p>\n
    AI Prompt<\/h2>\n
    Write a function that retrieves values from two specific sheets in a Google Spreadsheet and logs them using the Logger service.<\/p>\n
    A function named getA1C3Values_4<\/code> should be created, and it should:<\/p>\n
      \n
    • Get the active spreadsheet<\/li>\n
    • Define an array of two sheet names<\/li>\n
    • Retrieve the values in the range A1:C3 from the first sheet<\/li>\n
    • Retrieve the values in the range A1:C3 from the second sheet<\/li>\n
    • Log the retrieved values using Logger.log<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
