How to refresh a sheet's cell value in Google Apps Script

Question

I\'m experimenting with Blockspring which provides a Google Sheets add-on which can, for example, run a function which returns data from a webservice e.g.

=B

Refresh all table Its slow, but working!

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var rangeData = sheet.getDataRange();
var lastColumn = 38;
var lastRow = 17;
var searchRange = sheet.getRange(2,2, lastRow-1, lastColumn-1);

function forceRefresh() {
  //Loop through each column and each row in the sheet.
  for(i = 1; i < lastColumn; i++){
    for (j = 1; j < lastRow ; j++){
      var cell = searchRange.getCell(j,i);
      var formula = cell.getFormula();
      var tempFormula = formula.replace("=", "?");
      cell.setFormula(tempFormula);
      SpreadsheetApp.flush();
      cell.setFormula(formula);
    };
  };
};

forceRefresh(); //call
