Using Custom Function inside formula in Google Sheet?
Details:
I have a sheet that has some formula that filters data based on another sheet part of the same spreadsheet.
Now I have a custom function that returns the name of the first sheet in the spreadsheet. I need to use this value inside the formula.
Formula
=IFERROR(SUM(filter('Sprint H 24102018-13112018'!E:E,'Sprint H 24102018-13112018'!B:B=A18,'Sprint H 24102018-13112018'!D:D=$B$1)),0)
Now I want to replace the name of the sheet (in single quotes) with the return value from my gScript function.
Function
function getFirstSheet() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets()[0].getName()
Logger.log(sheet)
return sheet;
}
I tried the below but it gives a value of 0 with the single quotes and formula parse error without the single quotes.

As the return value of the function will be a string, did you try with NO quotes?

I did. It's giving formula parse error. I did mention that in the question
