Some simple examples

January 13, 2020 Comments Off

Because the GAS API is so similar to parse.com – nosql database for VBA, you may want to read that too, which has similar examples. Note that virtually all methods can be chained leading to pretty […]

Updating ScriptDB

November 13, 2019 Comments Off

Writing to parse.com was fairly complex, with all the asynchronicity and limiting. Writing the workbook to scriptDB should be much easier. We’ll use exactly the same approach as for Updating parse.com , namely get the data, get the existing […]
