    const targetRange = sheet.getRange("ImportTarget"); // Named range!
// Fetch CSV
const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(csvUrl);
const csvString = response.getContentText();
const rows = Utilities.parseCsv(csvString);
if (rows.length === 0) throw new Error("CSV is empty");
// Clear existing content within the named range (preserve headers)
targetRange.offset(1, 0, targetRange.getNumRows() - 1, targetRange.getNumColumns()).clearContent();
// Write new data - batch operation
const newData = rows.slice(1); // remove CSV headers
if (newData.length > 0) 
  targetRange.offset(1, 0, newData.length, newData[0].length).setValues(newData);
// Log success (v2.1 logging standard)
console.log(`[SUCCESS] Imported $newData.length rows at $new Date()`);
return newData.length;

console.error([ERROR] $error.message);

   range: "B2:B100", values: [["Completed"], ["Pending"], ...] 
];
sheet.batchUpdate(updates);
