getActiveRange not returning current selection

Question

This should be a simple one, but I could not crack it myself... I want to copy the currently selected cells in the active sheet in an array called data:

var shee         


        

Answer 1

I think that the problem is

var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getActiveSheet();

This because there is some kind of bug when "chaining" methods of two different Object Classes, in this case Class Spreadsheet and Class Sheet. There is a bug report related to this getActiveSheet() returns first sheet name

The workaround is to replace the above line with:

var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheet = spreadsheet.getActiveSheet();
