Interacting with multiple hyperlinks in Google Sheets cells with Google Apps Script

Before this, when a cell has only one hyperlink. In this case, the hyperlink was given to a cell using =HYPERLINK(“http://www.google.com/”, “Google”) but by a recent update, a cell got to be able to have multiple hyperlinks … In this report, I would like to introduce the method for setting and retrieving the multiple URLs for a cell.

Hyperlinks in Google Sheets cells is a bit of an obsession of mine and it’s nice to see Kanshi TANAIKE has a similar passion. Google are rolling out multiple hyperlinks in Google Sheet cells and Tanaike has provided details on how the hyperlink values can been get/set with Google Apps Script (the official docs are still catching up with Tanaike’s discovery :)

Dos funciones personalizadas para hojas de cálculo de Google desarrolladas en Apps Script que proporcionan un envoltorio para la función NSLookup, tal y como aparece en la documentación del servicio de resolución de nombres de CloudFlare. Consulta el registro indicado en el o los dominios que se pasan como parámetro utilizando el servicio de resolución de nombres de CloudFlare. Determina si un email o dominio (o lista de emails o dominios) está gestionado por Google o no. – pfelipm/dnsquery

Pablo Felip Monferrer has shared two custom functions for Google Sheets that provide an extension to the NSLookup function originally shared by Cloudflare. The first is a wrapper that makes it easy to list specific DNS record types for a single or list of domains. The second function uses the domains MX record to automatically detect if a domain has G Suite Gmail settings applied.

Proof of concept of how to get namespaces (sorta) in Google Apps Scripts libraries – classroomtechtools/NamespacedLib

For the seasoned Google Apps Script library author a continual frustration is the inability to get the online Script Editor to autocomplete if you have sub methods within your namespace. Adam Morris has discovered that the @name attribute can be used to fake this behavior … to a degree.
