Create a side bar


  1. In Script editor, go to File -> New -> HTML file.
  2. Add in HTML code inside your file.


      • function functionToShowSideBar()
        {  SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showSidebar(HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('NameOfHTMLFileCreated').setTitle("Hello"));
          }

          This bar will pop up at the right hand side of your sheets.

          Code: Browser.msgBox("Hello!", Browser.Buttons.OK) Another popup message box is the toast, which shows up at the lower-right hand corner of the spreadsheet (this only works with sheets): SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().toast("Hello", "This is the title"); If timeout seconds is set to -1, it means that the toast will be there forever.
