It can also refer to using Google Apps Script to check the availability of a network endpoint, like an IP address.</p>
<ol>
<li>Tagging Users (Like “Ping” in Social Media):<br />
You can tag users in Google Sheets to notify them about a specific cell or comment.<br />
To tag, type the “@” symbol, then start typing the name or email of the person you want to tag.<br />
A list of potential users will appear, and you can select the one you want to tag.</li>
<li>Freezing Rows or Columns:<br />
Freezing allows you to “pin” data, keeping it visible on the screen even when you scroll.<br />
This is useful for headers or data that you need to refer to constantly.<br />
To freeze, go to “View” &gt; “Freeze” and choose the number of rows or columns to freeze.</li>
<li>Using Apps Script to “Ping” IP Addresses:<br />
You can use Google Apps Script to check if a specific IP address is reachable, essentially “pinging” it.<br />
This involves writing a script that sends an ICMP request to the IP address and checks for a response.<br />
The script can then populate a cell in your sheet with a “True” or “False” value, indicating whether the address is reachable.<br />
Example of using Apps Script to ping:</li>
</ol>
<pre><code>function pingIpAddress() {
  // Replace 'A1' with the cell containing the IP address you want to ping
  var ipAddress = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet().getRange("A1").getValue();

  // Check if the IP address is reachable
  var url = 'https://ipinfo.io/ip?token=YOUR_TOKEN'; // Replace YOUR_TOKEN with your ipinfo token
  var options = {
    'method': 'get',
    'contentType': 'application/json'
  };

  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
  var json = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
  var ip = json.ip;

  SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet().getRange("B1").setValue(ipAddress==ip?"True":"False");
}
</code></pre>
