Returns every sheet tab in the spreadsheet.
class SpreadsheetApp method .getSheets()
SpreadsheetApp is the Apps Script service.
.getSheets() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.
What it does
Why it's used
- Loop through every tab to hide old months or refresh all of them.
- Count or list sheets when building an admin cleanup tool.
Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on getSheets. Write SpreadsheetApp.getSheets(), not SpreadsheetApp.getSheets or getSheets by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Data').getSheets().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write SpreadsheetApp.getSheets(), not SpreadsheetApp .getSheets(), SpreadsheetApp.getSheets (), or SpreadsheetApp . getSheets().
- Wrong capitalization. Use SpreadsheetApp and getSheets, not spreadsheetapp or getsheets.
