How to delete a chart using google script?
-1
I wrote a script to automatically generate charts from data on different tabs (after clicking a button on a new sheet).
I would now like to add a "reset" button which will automatically delete or remove the generated charts (so I can generate different charts with another button).
Can anyone help on how I can do this? I've tried the below, but to no avail....
function Finance_clear() {
function deleteAllChartsFromSheet(sheetName) {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var chartsSheet = ss.getSheetByName(sheetName);
var n = chartsSheet.getCharts().length;
for (var i = n-1; i >= 0; i--) {
var chart = chartsSheet.getCharts()[i];
chartsSheet.removeChart(chart);
}
}
};

This isn't working. Should my spreadsheet name go where you have "(name)"? Should it just be entered with a single quote around it?

This worked: function clear() { var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0]; // This removes all the embedded charts from the spreadsheet var charts = sheet.getCharts(); for (var i in charts) { sheet.removeChart(charts[i]); } } ; The sheet that you want the charts to be removed/deleted will need to be the first sheet (tab) in your spreadsheet
