const spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(); const formula = spreadsheet.getDataSourceFormulas()[0]; // Cancel the ongoing refresh on the formula. formula.cancelDataRefresh();
Throws an exception if the data source type is not enabled. Use SpreadsheetApp#enable...Execution() methods to enable data execution for specific data source
type.
Return
