Why can’t I use setValues in google apps spreadsheets API to set the values

Why can’t I use setValues in google apps spreadsheets API to set the values of cells in a spreadsheet?

I entered the correct cell and the value seems ok. however nothing appears in the cells!
I used the following to create the rows after the first row in my sheet.

sheet.insertRowsAfter(1,15);

After which I did this

sheet.setActiveCell("C2").setValue("AAA");

    The problem is that you need to get the range before you can set values into it. Your code should be:

    sheet.getRange("c2").setValue("AAA");
    

    This difference between GAS and VBA took me a little while to get used to. You have to “get your hands on” a range before you can alter or set its values.
