How to declare a variable range to a spreadsheet in google scripts

I can't set a variable to return the number to the last row under the K column in google sheets. The code fails on the last line - .setValues(exampleText) where I have already defined exampleText as a variable.

I have used different methods of setting variables including setting a variable for a column.

I get the following error: "Cannot find method getRange(number,number)."

The following code works solved by @TheMaster

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()



var column = 11



var lastRow = ss.getLastRow();



range = ss.getActiveSheet().getRange(lastRow,column);

range.setValue(exampletext)

getRange(row,column) type syntax only accepts numbers NOT strings.

You need to review the method signatures. These appear in the autocomplete popup (while writing code in the editor) and have more detail explained on the reference documentation website (use the Help menu).

I have edited my code to include column = 11 and replaced k with column but still doesn't work. I don't understand why? @TheMaster I have already checked documentation before posting but don't know how to proceed.

Only getRange(string) is available on Spreadsheet(ss). So, you can use ss.getRange('Sheet1!A1:B4'). getRange(number,number) is only available on sheet. ss.getActiveSheet().getRange(1,4)

getRange is a method that's available both on Spreadsheet class and Sheet class.

However, only getRange(string) is available on Spreadsheet(ss). So, you can use ss.getRange('Sheet1!A1:B4').

And getRange(number,number) is only available on sheet. So, You can use ss.getActiveSheet().getRange(1,4). Sheet class also accepts other variations of this method, but Spreadsheet class doesn't, which only accepts string as the only parameter.
