I am a "newbee". But is is my experience that you can only access a "cell"
via the "range" object. You must define the range as a single cell.
For example "A1:A1", will give you access the the cell at "A1".
A RANGE is an object associated to a "SHEET".
A SHEET is an object associated to a "SPREADSHEET".
Here is some sample code to access cell A1 in the current active sheet:
var cell_A1 = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("A1:A1");
From here you can pass the object like any other parameter.
myFunction(cell_A1);
The receiving function must "know" that it is dealing with a "range".
It can only access its values by calling "methods" associated to the
"range" object.
Be careful! A "range" can consist of more than one cell. Your called
function should test to see that it is working with a single cell.
If you pass a range of more than one cell, your function might not
act in the way you expect.
The two methods of a range object: "getNumRows()" and "getNumColumns()"
returns the numbers of Rows and Columns in a range object.
In general, if you use methods that are limited to changing or accessing
a single cell, and operate on a larger range set, the function will only be
performed on the upper-left cell member. But be careful. While you
might assume a method will only change a single cell, it may actually
affect all cells in the range. Read the documentation closely.
There is another method to obtain a range of a single cell. Its instruction
looks like this:
var cell_B2 = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(2, 2, 1, 1).
The first two parameters tell the "getRange" function the location of the
cell (in row, column format). The second two parameters define the number of
"rows" and "columns" to associated with the range. By setting them both to
"1", you access a single cell.
Hope this helps.
