Detailed documentation

cancelDataRefresh()

Cancels the data refresh associated with this object if it's currently running.

This example shows how to cancel a formula refresh.

const spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(); const formula = spreadsheet.getDataSourceFormulas()[0]; // Cancel the ongoing refresh on the formula. formula.cancelDataRefresh();

Throws an exception if the data source type is not enabled. Use SpreadsheetApp#enable...Execution() methods to enable data execution for specific data source type.

Return

[DataSourceFormula](#) — The data object.

Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:


forceRefreshData()

Refreshes the data of this object regardless of the current state. See [refreshData()](#refreshData%28%29) for more details. If you want to cancel a currently running refresh of this object, see [cancelDataRefresh()](#cancelDataRefresh%28%29).

Throws an exception if the data source type is not enabled. Use SpreadsheetApp#enable...Execution() methods to enable data execution for specific data source type.

Return

[DataSourceFormula](#) — The data object.

Authorization

Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:


getAnchorCell()

Returns the [Range](/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/range) representing the cell where this data source formula is anchored.

Return

[Range](/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/range) — The anchor cell.

Authorization

Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:


getDataSource()

Gets the data source the object is linked to.

Return

[DataSource](/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/data-source) — The data source.

Authorization

Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:


getDisplayValue()

Returns the display value of the data source formula.

Return

String — The display value.

Authorization

Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:


getFormula()

Returns the formula for this data source formula.

Return

String — The formula.

Authorization

Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:


getStatus()

Gets the data execution status of the object.

Return

[DataExecutionStatus](/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/data-execution-status) — The data execution status.

Authorization

Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:


refreshData()

Refreshes the data of the object.

Throws an exception if currently in [error](/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/data-execution-state#ERROR) state. Use [DataSource#updateSpec()](/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/data-source#updateSpec%28DataSourceSpec%29) to update the specification. The method is preferred over [forceRefreshData()](#forceRefreshData%28%29) to prevent unexpected edits on data source.

Throws an exception if the data source type is not enabled. Use SpreadsheetApp#enable...Execution() methods to enable data execution for specific data source type.

Return

[DataSourceFormula](#) — The data object.

Authorization

Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:


setFormula(formula)

Updates the formula.

Parameters

Name Type Description
formula String The new formula.

Return

[DataSourceFormula](#) — The data source formula, for chaining.

Authorization

Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:


waitForCompletion(timeoutInSeconds)

Waits until the current execution completes, timing out after the provided number of seconds. Throws an exception if the execution is not completed when timing out, but does not cancel the data execution.

Parameters

Name Type Description
timeoutInSeconds Integer The time to wait for data execution, in seconds. The maximum is 300 seconds.

Return

[DataExecutionStatus](/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/data-execution-status) — The data execution status.
