I am seeking assistance with a script that allows me to change the title of a spreadsheet based on a cell reference. Currently, my spreadsheet is titled KIT MAKING MACRO, and I want the name to update to the value found in cell O1, which is A90241 - Batch 3. Could someone please provide guidance or examples on how to accomplish this? Thank you!
Creating a script to achieve this task is quite simple using Google Apps Script. You can create a function that gets the value from the specified cell and then uses that value to rename the spreadsheet. Here’s a basic example to get you started:
function updateSpreadsheetTitle() {
const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
const title = sheet.getActiveSheet().getRange('O1').getValue();
sheet.rename(title);
}
Save this script in the Apps Script editor (under Extensions > Apps Script), then run it. Make sure to review and authorize any permissions the script requests. Once set up, this function will rename your spreadsheet title to whatever is currently in cell O1. Remember, you can trigger this function automatically using a daily time-driven trigger or based on some other event, depending on when you want the spreadsheet name to be updated.
