AI-generated Key Takeaways
- 
          BigQueryDataSourceSpecBuilder is used to build a data source specification for BigQuery. 
- 
          It provides methods to get and set the dataset ID, project ID, table ID, and raw query. 
- 
          You can manage parameters for the data source, including adding, removing, and setting them from a cell reference. 
- 
          The build()method finalizes the configuration and returns a DataSourceSpec object.
The builder for Big.

Detailed documentation
build()
Builds a data source specification from the settings in this builder. Must use as...()
to specify a data source type before building.
The following code sample builds a BigQuery DataSource Spec.
const bigQueryDataSourceSpec = SpreadsheetApp.newDataSourceSpec().asBigQuery(); // TODO(developer): Replace with the required dataset, project and table IDs. bigQueryDataSourceSpec.setDatasetId('my data set id'); bigQueryDataSourceSpec.setProjectId('my project id'); bigQueryDataSourceSpec.setTableId('my table id'); bigQueryDataSourceSpec.build();
The following code sample builds a Looker DataSource Spec.
const lookerDataSourceSpecBuilder = SpreadsheetApp.newDataSourceSpec().asLooker(); const lookerSpec = lookerDataSourceSpecBuilder.setExploreName('my explore name') .setInstanceUrl('my instance url') .setModelName('my model name') .build();
Return
Data — The data source specification.
copy()
Creates a Data based on this data source's settings.
// TODO(developer): Replace the URL with your own. const ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl( 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/abc123456/edit', ); const spec = ss.getDataSources()[0].getSpec(); const newSpec = spec.copy();
Return
Data — The builder.
getDatasetId()  
Gets the BigQuery dataset ID.
Return
String — The dataset ID, or an empty string if the data source spec is defined by a raw query.
getParameters() 
Gets the parameters of the data source.
// TODO(developer): Replace the URL with your own. const ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl( 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/abc123456/edit', ); const spec = ss.getDataSources()[0].getSpec(); const parameters = spec.getParameters();
This method is only available for BigQuery data sources.
Return
Data — The parameter list.
getProjectId()  
Gets the billing project ID.
Return
String — The project ID.
getRawQuery()  
Gets the raw query string.
Return
String — The raw query string.
getTableId()  
Gets the BigQuery table ID.
Return
String — The table ID, or an empty string if the data source spec is defined by a raw query.
getTableProjectId()   
Gets the BigQuery project ID for the table.
Return
String — The table project ID, or an empty string if the data source spec is defined by a raw
    query.
getType() 
Gets the type of the data source.
// TODO(developer): Replace the URL with your own. const ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl( 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/abc123456/edit', ); const spec = ss.getDataSources()[0].getSpec(); const type = spec.getType();
Return
Data — The data source type.
removeAllParameters()  
Removes all the parameters.
const specBuilder = SpreadsheetApp.newDataSourceSpec(); specBuilder.removeAllParameters();
Return
Big — The builder, for chaining.
removeParameter(parameterName) 
Removes the specified parameter.
const specBuilder = SpreadsheetApp.newDataSourceSpec(); specBuilder.removeParameter('x');
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| parameter | String | The name of the parameter to remove. | 
Return
Big — The builder, for chaining.
setDatasetId(datasetId)  
Sets the BigQuery dataset ID.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| dataset | String | The ID of the dataset. | 
Return
Big — This builder, for chaining.
setParameterFromCell(parameterName, sourceCell)   
Adds a parameter, or if the parameter with the name exists, updates its source cell for data
source spec builders of type Data.
This method is only available for BigQuery data sources.
const specBuilder = SpreadsheetApp.newDataSourceSpec().asBigQuery(); specBuilder.setParameterFromCell('x', 'A1'); const bigQuerySpec = specBuilder.build();
