Google Sheets - Update (Set Values in a Range)

See more Google Sheets Examples

Sets values in a range of a spreadsheet. This example will demonstrate by first getting a range, then changing some values in the JSON, and then HTTPS PUT the changes back to the Google Sheet. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
    // Google Sheets scope.

    // In this example, Get Google Sheets OAuth2 Access Token, the access
    // token was saved to a JSON file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
