gs4_formula(x = character())

Arguments

Character.

An S3 vector of class googlesheets4_formula.

  "sum", "=sum(A:A)",
  "min", "=min(A:A)",
  "sparkline", "=SPARKLINE(A:A, {\"color\", \"blue\"})"
)

# explicitly declare a column as `googlesheets4_formula`
summaries$summaries <- gs4_formula(summaries$summaries)
summaries

range_write(ss, data = summaries, range = "C1", reformat = FALSE)
