谷歌脚本删除行

Question

when I use the deleteRows function I get the error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'deleteRows' of null at clearRange(Code:4:4)

here is my code:

function clearRange() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
// Rows start at "2" -  delete of N rows (400)
ss.deleteRow(2, 400);
}

Can you please help me to solve this issue?

Thanks and regards Thierry

Answer 1

As Andres has said, your script may not be attached to your sheet, and you will have to go to the sheet in question and click Tools > Script Editor .

However, there are two other possible issues -

• The function is named deleteRows and not deleteRow
• You're calling deleteRows() on a Spreadsheet object. It is a Sheet function.

If these were the issues, this code should fix it.

function clearRange() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
  // Rows start at "2" -  delete of N rows (400)
  sheet.deleteRows(2, 400);
}

Your ss spreadsheet variable is null which means your script is not bound to any spreadsheet as it should be to use the getActive method. You can create a container bound script following the steps explained here :

To create a bound script, open a Google Sheets, Docs, Slides, or Forms file, then select Tools > Script editor.
