A: Problems with Google Apps Script API JavaScript "How to... Execute function" TL;DR: Use the versioned deployment id instead of the script id. After repeating the procedures, step by step multiple times, I tried adding the `resource.devMode` property to the Apps Script REST API call and setting it to `true`. This call is in `index.js` file and refers to `gapi.client.scr... (more) |

Self answered questions about an unclear quickstart I had problems following the directions of a Google Apps Script API quickstart. I think that the quickstart instructions and code is incomplete. After a while, I finally realized that there was misleading stuff. I'm keeping the details to be posted later, i.e., in a self-answered question, if somethi... (more) |

Thanks for the suggestion. As the above answer is not intended to be used as a reference, I just mentioned that the "plain text" is intended to show markdown features.
P.S. I also added a section of recently found related posts that might be helpful when writing / updating a post / help article a... (more) |

A: Should I delete my trivial, lack-of-research question? I agree with the previous answers, don't delete a question that you find it looking trivial after you find the answer, instead answer it, and if it's possible, improve the question, i.e., by providing relevant details about the context that might explain why you skipped what you be sharing in the ans...

Best practices for posting tabular data I am trying to find how tabular data is presented in Software Development. So far, I have found one question, How to pivot text?. The question presents tabular data using code blocks, dash to indicate a new row, pipe to indicate column separation and underscore to indicate an empty cell. I took the d... (more) |

Ideally questions about spreadsheets should describe all the relevant details about the spreadsheet. In this case, it's missing the Country. It's relevant as it sets which separators are used for thousands, decimals and function parameters. (more) |

| Answer | — |
A: Summing values formatted for a different locale `LEFT` returns a text value, so it's working as expected. You might put the `LEFT` function inside `VALUE` function to convert the value returned by `LEFT` into a number. This applies to other spreadsheet apps like Google Sheets. NOTES: 1. Countries that use Euros as their local currency use... (more) |

I found the use of "levels" problematic. Instead, I think that we should ask people to use the proper terminology and underlying concepts required by what is being asked, in the programming / software development context. I.E. People asking and answering questions about complex spreadsheet formulas s... (more) |

Merge [functions] with [function] As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm new here and looking around. I suggest to "merge" `functions` with `function`. I don't know how exactly this should be done here. I think the word's singular form should be preferred for tag names. Both tags have usage guidance, and they are very simila... (more) |
