Sets text to normal or bold in a range.
class SpreadsheetApp method .setFontWeight()
SpreadsheetApp is the Apps Script service.
.setFontWeight() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.
What it does
Why it's used
- Bold totals or section headers from script.
- Emphasize rows that need the user's attention.
Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on setFontWeight. Write SpreadsheetApp.setFontWeight(), not SpreadsheetApp.setFontWeight or setFontWeight by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Data').setFontWeight().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write SpreadsheetApp.setFontWeight(), not SpreadsheetApp .setFontWeight(), SpreadsheetApp.setFontWeight (), or SpreadsheetApp . setFontWeight().
- Wrong capitalization. Use SpreadsheetApp and setFontWeight, not spreadsheetapp or setfontweight.
