Hi there,

I am just wondering if we can create a script to update the cells with worksheet formula in order to get the latest information before apps script project gets executed?

I met an experience that my apps script project catches A1 cell to figure the recent number of people at the very beginning of the execution, it triggers every hour.
Last time I checked, the number in A1 was not the latest one so the execution did not go through..

Hope you can help me.

Thanks

There is a command which forces a spreadsheet update. You can try that to see if it helps. This is used usually to ensure spreadsheet does all the updates to the cells from the script itself but I think it can work for your case as well.

Use:

SpreadsheetApp.flush();

Before executing your main script code.
