            columns: 26,
            change: function(args){
              args.range.forEachCell(function (row, column, cell) {
                if(cell.validation && !cell.validation.value) {
                  console.log("Row: " + row + " Col: " + column + " Value: " + cell.value);
                }
              });
            },
            rows: 30,
