No permission to call msgBox in Google Apps Scripting

by

Custom functions will do nothing but return a value to a cell in which they reside unless the return an array which may affect contiguous cells.

A custom function cannot initiate a message box(Browser.msgbox())

A custom function is a function entered as all or part of a formula in a spreadsheet cell that calls a function from the script editor. When you state:

for instance when I run this script by setting a cell my spreadsheet to =pantsHate(Y) I’m getting this error:

=pantsheet(Y) is a custom function because you are calling it from a spreadsheet formula and it cannot initiate a Browser.msgbox()
