How to get the correct range to set the value to a cell?

Question

Answer 1

Solution : SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange('F2').setValue('hello')

Explanation :

Setting value in a cell in spreadsheet to which script is attached

SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME).getRange(RANGE).setValue(VALUE);

Setting value in a cell in sheet which is open currently and to which script is attached

SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet().getRange(RANGE).setValue(VALUE);

Setting value in a cell in some spreadsheet to which script is NOT attached (Destination sheet name known)

SpreadsheetApp.openById(SHEET_ID).getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME).getRange(RANGE).setValue(VALUE);

Setting value in a cell in some spreadsheet to which script is NOT attached (Destination sheet position known)

SpreadsheetApp.openById(SHEET_ID).getSheets()[POSITION].getRange(RANGE).setValue(VALUE);

These are constants, you must define them yourself

SHEET_ID

SHEET_NAME

POSITION

VALUE

RANGE

By script attached to a sheet I mean that script is residing in the script editor of that sheet. Not attached means not residing in the script editor of that sheet. It can be in any other place.
