    Summary<\/h2>\n

    In this blog post, we will explore how to fetch values from the range A1:C3 for multiple sheets in Apps Script. We will use a loop to iterate through a list of sheet names, access each sheet by name, and retrieve the values from the specified range.<\/p>\n

    Code<\/h2>\n
    function getA1C3ValuesForIteration() {\n  const SS = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()\n  const sheetNames = ['Sheet1', 'Sheet2']\n\n  for (let i = 0; i < sheetNames.length; i++) {\n    const sheet = SS.getSheetByName(sheetNames[i])\n    const value = sheet.getRange('A1:C3').getValues()\n    Logger.log(value)\n  }\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Code Explanation<\/h2>\n
    The code defines a function named getA1C3ValuesForIteration<\/code>. It first gets the active spreadsheet using SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()<\/code>. The variable sheetNames<\/code> is an array that stores the names of the sheets we want to fetch values from.<\/p>\n
    A for<\/code> loop is used to iterate through each sheet name. Inside the loop, the getSheetByName()<\/code> method is used to retrieve the sheet object based on the name. Then, the getRange()<\/code> method is used to specify the range A1:C3, and the getValues()<\/code> method is used to retrieve the values within that range as a 2D array.<\/p>\n
    The retrieved values are logged using Logger.log()<\/code>.<\/p>\n
    Example<\/h2>\n
    When you run the getA1C3ValuesForIteration<\/code> function, it will fetch the values from the range A1:C3 for each sheet specified in the sheetNames<\/code> array. The retrieved values will be logged in the Apps Script Logger.<\/p>\n
    AI Prompt<\/h2>\n
    Write a function that fetches values from the range A1:C3 for multiple sheets in Apps Script. Use a loop to iterate through an array of sheet names, access each sheet by name, and retrieve the values from the specified range. Log the retrieved values.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
