What if Spreadsheet is not the use case, suppose you have link for a Google Drive file and then you have to open that link in a new tab or window?

  • Hi, the workaround to download Link from a cell works great.
  • How about if there is more links. Say for example I've a multiple URL's in column B, range about B1:B10.
  • How to download the data from these different URL's .
    Should we use for loop or do while for this criteria
    Note: I've replaced getActiveCell() with getRange('Cell_Reference')
