Adds a new sheet tab to the spreadsheet.
class SpreadsheetApp method .insertSheet()
SpreadsheetApp is the Apps Script service.
.insertSheet() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.
What it does
Why it's used
- Add a new tab for this week's report without manual clicking.
- Create a scratch sheet for imports before merging into the main data.
Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on insertSheet. Write SpreadsheetApp.insertSheet(), not SpreadsheetApp.insertSheet or insertSheet by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Data').insertSheet().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write SpreadsheetApp.insertSheet(), not SpreadsheetApp .insertSheet(), SpreadsheetApp.insertSheet (), or SpreadsheetApp . insertSheet().
- Wrong capitalization. Use SpreadsheetApp and insertSheet, not spreadsheetapp or insertsheet.
