Starting with v4.1, the reference to a cell or range of cells can be specified in the following format:

const cellValue = spreadsheet.getValue("sheet1!A2"); //-> 25000

where sheet1 is the name of the tab.

In case the name of the tab isn't specified, the method will return the value(s) of the cell(s) from the active tab.
