    <p>Here is what I am doing (I copied and tried to adapt it from old messages) :</p> <p>1) inside a spreadsheet that have many sheets create a sheet and renamed it "TOC"</p> <p>2) in "TOC", add this formula inside A1: =SheetNames( GoogleClock() )</p> <p>3) Once copied in Google Apps Script, run function "SheetNames" below</p> <pre><code>function SheetNames() { // this will create a list of all the sheets ;) try { var sheets = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets() var out = new Array( sheets.length+1 ) ; out[0] = [ "Name" , "gid" ]; for (var i = 1 ; i &lt; sheets.length+1 ; i++ ) out[i] = [sheets[i-1].getName() , sheets[i-1].getSheetId() ]; return out } catch( err ) { return "#ERROR!" } } </code></pre> <p>4) run function "delete_only_some_sheets"</p> <pre><code>function delete_only_some_sheets() { // CAUTION !! It will delete some sheets ! var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); var source = ss.getSheetByName("TOC"); for (var i = 3; i&lt;=5; i++){ // !!! HERE adapt the "5" number to your needs here var tet = source.getRange(["B"]+[(i)]).getValues(); //ss.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheetId()[tet]); ///ERROR here ! ;( ss.deleteActiveSheet(); //ss.deleteSheetId()[tet]; //possible ?? } } </code></pre> <p>I keep getting the error "Cannot find method "setActiveSheet(."" And I am blocked. ;(</p> <p>Many thanks in advance ;)</p> <p><strong>EDIT :</strong></p> <p>Hello, Thanks to "Srik", I have found the solution ! ;) Part 1) to 3) are the same. Part 4) becomes :</p> <p>4) run function "delete_only_some_sheets"</p> <pre><code>function delete_only_some_sheets() { // CAUTION !! IT will delete some sheets ! var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); var source = ss.getSheetByName("TOC"); for (var i = 3; i&lt;=5; i++){ // !!! HERE adapt the "5" number to your needs here var tet = source.getRange(["A"]+[(i)]).getValues(); ss.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheetByName(tet)); ss.deleteActiveSheet(); } </code></pre> <p>}</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
