To find the Script Editor in Google Sheets, go to the "Extensions" menu at the top, then select "Apps Script." This will open the Script Editor in a new tab where you can write and manage your scripts.
Here are some solutions if the Apps Script is not showing up in Google Sheets:
Sometimes, a simple refresh can solve the issue. Close the Google Sheets tab and reopen it, or try refreshing the page.
Open Google Sheets in an incognito window (or private browsing mode). This can help if the issue is related to browser cookies or extensions.
Some browser extensions can interfere with Google Sheets. Try disabling extensions, especially those related to ad blocking or script blocking, to see if that resolves the issue.
Clearing your browser's cache and cookies can resolve various issues, including problems with loading Google Sheets or its script editor.
To clear your browser's cache, open your browser's settings or preferences, navigate to the privacy or history section, and select the option to clear browsing data or cache.
Make sure to choose the time range (often you can select "All time") and check the boxes for cookies and cached images and files, then confirm by clicking the clear or delete button.
Ensure your web browser is up to date. An outdated browser may not be fully compatible with Google Sheets.
If you're still having trouble, try accessing the script editor directly by using the URL: https://script.google.com. This can sometimes bypass issues found directly in Sheets.
If none of the above solutions work, try using Google Sheets and the script editor in a different web browser.
There might be an outage or known issue affecting Google Sheets or Google Apps Script. Check the Google Workspace Status Dashboard for any reported issues.
If you're using Google Sheets as part of a business or education account, you might have access to dedicated support from Google. Contact your IT department or Google support for further assistance.
