Google Spreadsheet脚本“单元格引用超出范围”

Question

I have a range in a google spreadsheet script.

var thisClientOutputRange = outputSheet.getRange(thisClientStartRow,thisClientStartColumn, monthsToSim + 3, 1);
Logger.log(thisClientOutputRange.getA1Notation());

The output is:

[15-10-29 18:43:06:461 GALT] B7:B57

Which is exactly the range I intended to address for this specific client (currently looping on in a for loop).

I can do

var thisClientOutputNameRange = thisClientOutputRange.getCell(1,1);
thisClientOutputNameRange.setValue(thisClientName);

And I can see the value correctly at B7 . Now the problem is if I try to do

var thisClientOutputNameRange = thisClientOutputRange.getCell(1,2);

I get the error Cell reference out of range at exactly this line. I need to write something at C7 .

According to the getCell documentation:

var range = sheet.getRange("B2:D4");

// The row and column here are relative to the range.

// getCell(1,1) in this code returns the cell at B2, B2

I must have a very stupid mistake, but I can't find it. Any idea what could be going wrong with my logic?

thanks

The range's getCell(row,column) method returns a cell from the range. The row and column coordinates are relative to the range. In your example of getCell(1,2), row=1 and column=2 represents the cell at the first row and second column of the range. However, the range B7:B57 only has one column. Thus, the cell reference is outside of the range.
