How to select a sheet and set it active with google apps script

by

To select and activate a sheet in Google Sheets using Google Apps Script, you can use the setActiveSheet() method of the SpreadsheetApp class.

Here’s an example code snippet that selects the sheet named “Sheet1” and sets it as the active sheet:

function selectAndActivateSheet() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
  ss.setActiveSheet(sheet);
}

In this code, we first get the active spreadsheet using getActiveSpreadsheet(), then we get the sheet we want to select using getSheetByName(), and finally, we activate the sheet using setActiveSheet().

You can replace “Sheet1” with the name of the sheet that you want to select and activate.
