Abstract

This report demonstrates the onSelectionChange simple trigger in Google Sheets by creating a slide puzzle. Selecting cells triggers script execution, enabling interactive gameplay.

Introduction

At Google Sheets, simple triggers can be used. When simple triggers are used, users can automatically run Google Apps Script based on actions in the spreadsheet. Among the simple triggers is onSelectionChange. This can automatically run a script when a cell is selected. In this report, as a simple sample script demonstrating the use of onSelectionChange, I created a slide puzzle in Google Sheets. The goal of the slide puzzle is to align the numbers by sliding them. Here, onSelectionChange is used to detect the selected number and slide it. The aim of this report is to learn about the simple trigger onSelectionChange.

Now, Google Docs and Google Sheets can insert smart chips. Smart chips are very useful for easily inserting information like users, maps, files, and so on. However, unfortunately, at the current stage, smart chips cannot be directly managed using Google Apps Script. Specifically, the information within smart chips cannot be directly retrieved by Google Apps Script. Although I believe this will be resolved in a future update, there might be cases where you want to retrieve information from smart chips using Google Apps Script. This report introduces a workaround for achieving this.
