Function from script editor works fine but not from sheets custom function

Question

I wrote a function that adds an all-day event.

When the function running from script editor it\'s working fine, the all-day event is inserted to the calendar.

Answer 1

Answer:

While it is not possible to run a script which requires authorisation directly from a cell in a Sheet, you can set up the script to run on button click instead.

More Information & Workaround:

As a button does not have the same authorisation restrictions as custom functions, you can use them to run code with the scopes you need. To set this up:

1. Go to the Insert > Drawing menu item and create a shape; any shape will do, this will act as your button.
2. Press Save and Close to add this to your sheet.
3. Move the newly-added drawing to where you would like. In the top-right of the drawing, you will see the vertical ellipsis menu (⋮). Click this, and then click Assign script.
4. In the new window, type whatever the name of your function is, without parentheses (for example myFunction), and press OK.

I hope this is helpful to you!
