Detailed documentation

copy()

Returns a rule builder preset with this rule's settings.

Return

ConditionalFormatRuleBuilder — a builder based on this rule's settings

getBooleanCondition()

Retrieves the rule's BooleanCondition information if this rule uses boolean condition criteria. Otherwise returns null.

// Log the boolean criteria type of the first conditional format rules of a sheet.
var rule = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getConditionalFormatRules()[0];
var booleanCondition = rule.getBooleanCondition();
if (booleanCondition != null) {
  Logger.log(booleanCondition.getCriteriaType());
}

Return

BooleanCondition — the boolean condition object, or null if the rule does not use a boolean condition.

---

getGradientCondition()

Retrieves the rule's GradientCondition information, if this rule uses gradient condition criteria. Otherwise returns null.

// Log the gradient minimum color of the first conditional format rule of a sheet.
var rule = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getConditionalFormatRules()[0];
var gradientCondition = rule.getGradientCondition();
if (gradientCondition != null) {
  Logger.log(gradientCondition.getMinColor());
}

Return

GradientCondition — the gradient condition object, or null if the rule does not use a gradient condition.

---

getRanges()

Retrieves the ranges to which this conditional format rule is applied.

// Log each range of the first conditional format rule of a sheet.
var rule = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getConditionalFormatRules()[0];
var ranges = rule.getRanges();
for (int i = 0; i < ranges.length; i++) {
  Logger.log(ranges[i].getA1Notation());
}

Return

Range[] — the ranges to which this conditional format rule is applied.
