Clears one or more ranges of values from a spreadsheet. The caller must specify the spreadsheet ID and one or more ranges. Only values are cleared -- all other properties of the cell (such as formatting and data validation) are kept.
HTTP request
POST https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/{spreadsheetId}/values:batchClear
The ranges that were cleared, in A1 notation. If the requests are for an unbounded range or a ranger larger than the bounds of the sheet, this is the actual ranges that were cleared, bounded to the sheet's limits.
