Returns the total number of rows the sheet can hold.
class SpreadsheetApp method .getMaxRows()
SpreadsheetApp is the Apps Script service.
.getMaxRows() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.
What it does
Why it's used
- Check sheet capacity before a huge import.
- Validate that a resize operation will fit.
Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on getMaxRows. Write SpreadsheetApp.getMaxRows(), not SpreadsheetApp.getMaxRows or getMaxRows by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Data').getMaxRows().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write SpreadsheetApp.getMaxRows(), not SpreadsheetApp .getMaxRows(), SpreadsheetApp.getMaxRows (), or SpreadsheetApp . getMaxRows().
- Wrong capitalization. Use SpreadsheetApp and getMaxRows, not spreadsheetapp or getmaxrows.
