Detailed documentation

`activate()`

Selects the list of Range instances. The last range in the list is set as the active range.

Note: This provides a way to multi-select a number of ranges.

const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
const rangeList = sheet.getRangeList(['D4', 'B2:C4']);
rangeList.activate();

const selection = sheet.getSelection();
// Current cell: B2
const currentCell = selection.getCurrentCell();
// Active range: B2:C4
const activeRange = selection.getActiveRange();
// Active range list: [D4, B2:C4]
const activeRangeList = selection.getActiveRangeList();

Return

RangeList — The list of active ranges, for chaining.

const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets()[0];
const range = sheet.getRange('A1:A4');
range.activate();
range.setValues([
  ' preceding space',
  'following space ',
  'two  middle  spaces',
  '   =SUM(1,2)',
]);

const rangeList = sheet.getRangeList(['A1', 'A2', 'A3', 'A4']);
