Description

Changes the number of rows and/or columns in a (work)sheet.

Usage

sheet_resize(ss, sheet = NULL, nrow = NULL, ncol = NULL, exact = FALSE)

Arguments

ss	Something that identifies a Google Sheet: its file id as a string or drive_id a URL from which we can recover the id a one-row dribble, which is how googledrive represents Drive files an instance of googlesheets4_spreadsheet, which is what gs4_get() returns Processed through as_sheets_id().
sheet	Sheet to resize, in the sense of "worksheet" or "tab". You can identify a sheet by name, with a string, or by position, with a number.
nrow, ncol	Desired number of rows or columns, respectively. The default of NULL means to leave unchanged.
exact	Logical, indicating whether to impose nrow and ncol exactly or to treat them as lower bounds. If exact = FALSE, sheet_resize() can only add cells. If exact = TRUE, cells can be deleted and their contents are lost.

Value
