(JavaScript) Google Sheets - Update (Set Values in a Range)

Sets values in a range of a spreadsheet. This example will demonstrate by first getting a range, then changing some values in the JSON, and then HTTPS PUT the changes back to the Google Sheet.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
// Google Sheets scope.

// In this example, Get Google Sheets OAuth2 Access Token, the access
// token was saved to a JSON file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
