I am trying to figure out how to get the A1 Notation of a Cell calling a Custom Function.
I found this but this is for active cell. https://webapps.stackexchange.com/que
There are subtle differences in different range returning method names- active
,current
,selection
:
The term "active range" refers to the range that a user has selected in the active sheet, but in a custom function it refers to the cell being "active"ly recalculated.
The current cell is the cell that has focus in the Google Sheets UI, and is highlighted by a dark border.
A selection is the set of cells the user has highlighted in the sheet, which can be non-adjacent ranges. One cell in the selection is the current cell, where the user's current focus is.
The first two are still range objects,while the latter is not.
I want the function to return the text value A5.
Without Custom Functions,We can use:
=ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN())
With Custom function,We can use:
function test() {
return SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange().getA1Notation();
}
