I need to make Data Validation on a range of cells. I want a dropdown list, where the only option is the current date. To get the current date, I can use =TODAY(). The problem is, that the dates don't remain static. When the sheet recalculates, so will all the dates. I need the dates to remain the same.
How can I work around this?
I found a blog where the answer might be, but I can't see how the author has made his spreadsheet.
I will have a dropdown item which says "dags dato". Next i use an eventlistener that checks if the text in a cell is changed to "dags dato".
if so, it puts the current date in the cell, like this:
function onEdit(event)
{
var ss = event.source.getActiveSheet();
var r = event.source.getActiveRange();
var currentValue = r.getValue();
if(currentValue == "dags dato")
{
var dd = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), "GMT", "yyyy-MM-dd");
r.setValue(dd);
}
}

I am trying to make working sheets for my work. In Google scripts, I've created "Custom Menu" for my sheet wich is sending email correctly. But now I want to get value from the specific cell and check if it is below, for example, 2, send an email with that value. For now, I have this:
function onOpen() {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
// Or DocumentApp or FormApp.
ui.createMenu('Custom Menu')
.addItem('First item', 'menuItem1')
.addSeparator()
.addToUi();
}
function menuItem1() {
SpreadsheetApp.getUi() // Or DocumentApp or FormApp.
.alert('You clicked the first menu item!');
if( 'A1' > 3){
MailApp.sendEmail('luk...#gmail.pl', 'subject', 'message');
}
}
I don't know how to get this value from this cell. This 'If" is just an example of what I am trying to do, I know it is not working. Thank you in advance for any kind of help.
First, You need to find the sheet:
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
Then, you need to specify a cell range and get the value(s):
var value = sheet.getRange("A1").getValue();
You can browse the API for more functions here: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/spreadsheet-app
Given an initialized and displayed Kendo Grid. I want to change the value on a column when either the detailExpand or detailCollapse event occurs. How do I change a displayed value? This is an MVVM initialized grid, but it appears that changes to the data source do not update the displayed values in the grid. So much for data binding.
OnDetailCollapse: function(e) {
var self = ScenarioManager.MasterGridViewModel;
var data = e.sender.dataItem(e.masterRow);
var product = self.FindProductById(self.get('Products').data(), data.Id);
product.set('MrcDisplay', product.MrcSubTotal); // This does nothing
product.set('NrcDisplay', product.NrcSubTotal); // This does nothing
},
The Thunderbird Lightning extension shows the time on the left side of the Week and Day views as shown here...
I would like the time to show 2 different time zones (e.g. local time and Pacific Time) as shown here...
Is there a configuration parameter to do this? Is there another extension which can tweak this? If not, how do I hack the Thunderbird extension to do this?
For reference, Outlook has this functionality. Also, this answer shows how to hack the Lightning extension.
I didn't solve the problem for the general case. I simply caused the time to be displayed in the current time zone and the previous hour to be displayed. In my case, the current time zone is USA Mountain time and the previous hour ends up being USA Pacific time.
The file calendar-multiday-view.xml in the following jar file must be edited while Thunderbird is not running.
C:\Users\nreynold.ORADEV\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\profile\extensions\{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}\chrome.jar
The method makeTimeBox() must be changed as indicated by comments:
function makeTimeBox(timestr, time2str, size) { // Add time2str parameter
var box = createXULElement("box");
box.setAttribute("orient", orient);
box.setAttribute("align", "left"); // Add
if (orient == "horizontal") {
box.setAttribute("width", size);
} else {
box.setAttribute("height", size);
}
var label = createXULElement("label");
label.setAttribute("class", "calendar-time-bar-label");
label.setAttribute("value", timestr);
label.setAttribute("style", "color: #4080C0; font-weight: bold;"); // Replace "align"
box.appendChild(label);
var label = createXULElement("label"); // Add
label.setAttribute("class", "calendar-time-bar-label"); // Add
label.setAttribute("value", time2str); // Add
box.appendChild(label); // Add
return box;
}
Add the following method after makeTimeBox().
function makeTime(hour) {
var h = hour % 12;
if (h == 0)
h = 12;
var s = hour >= 12 ? " pm" : " am";
var result = h + s;
return result;
}
Remove the following line which appears a few lines below makeTimeBox()
var formatter = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/intl/scriptabledateformat;1"].
getService(Components.interfaces.nsIScriptableDateFormat);
Change the following line...
var timeString;
... to be ...
var timeString, time2String;
About 25 lines lower, replace the following lines...
timeString = formatter.FormatTime("",
Components.interfaces.nsIScriptableDateFormat.timeFormatNoSeconds,
theHour, 0, 0);
box = makeTimeBox(timeString, durPix);
... to be ...
timeString = makeTime(theHour) + " MT";
ptHour = theHour - 1;
ptHour += 23;
ptHour %= 24;
ptHour += 1;
time2String = makeTime(ptHour) + " PT";
box = makeTimeBox(timeString, time2String, durPix);
I am not aware of any existing add-ons that do this, but I can tell you how it is done. First of all create a typical skeleton Thunderbird extension, in the Firefox world this is called a "legacy" extension in case you are searching for docs. It should contain an install.rdf and a chrome.manifest. I'm assuming you choose view-zones as the identifier in chrome.manifest.
Next you need to create a CSS file that will allow you to override the calendar-time-bar binding. Note that with this method there can only be one extension that overrides the binding. The contents will look like this:
calendar-time-bar {
-moz-binding: url(chrome://view-zones/content/bindings.xml#calendar-time-bar) !important;
}
This will override the time bar with your binding, which you will create in the bindings.xml file. It extends the builtin time bar, but adds some code after the relayout to add those extra labels. The CSS file needs to be referenced in the chrome.manifest file with a style directive and can extend chrome://calendar/skin/calendar-views.css. Then you will have to create the xml file for chrome://view-zones/content/bindings.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I've left the label static for now, but you can think of some logic that would change the "10:00 PT" to the actual time based on the other label or the same algorithm used in the actual method. You can also add classes and styling to make it look different.
That said, maybe you'd be interested in adding this feature to core Lightning instead? I think it would be a nice addition. I'm pretty sure we had a bug open for this but I can't find it at the moment, so if you are interested maybe you could file a bug and I can give you more information on how to get set up. In that case it would be a matter of changing the binding to show more than one label and adding user-visible preferences to be able to chose the timezone.
I'm using a date field in which I want to limit the date selection to a maximum of 90 days from the current date. How can i achieve this?
I tried dateField.setMaxvalue(maxDate), but I'm not able to limit the selection
I don't think the GWT datepicker has support for this.
You could use a library like GWT-Bootstrap3 which does have all this (https://gwtbootstrap3.github.io/gwtbootstrap3-demo/#dateTimePicker).
Or you could listen for events and rollback changes made by the user if selection was outside the valid range, and display a message to the user.
I second to the suggestion given by #Knarf. You could use GWT DatePicker class and listen for a ValueChangeEvent and in ValueChangeHandler, you could put your logic to check if the selected date is within your range - if not, you could show a message on your UI for the User to reselect a date within the date range (as per your requirement).
DatePicker datePicker = new DatePicker();
final Label text = new Label();
// Listen for a ValueChangeEvent and implement a ValueChangeHandler on your datePicker element
datePicker.addValueChangeHandler(new ValueChangeHandler<Date>() {
public void onValueChange(ValueChangeEvent<Date> valueChangeEvent) {
Date inputDate = valueChangeEvent.getValue();
// Put your logic to test whether the selected date is within your range
String dateString = DateTimeFormat.getMediumDateFormat().format(inputDate);
text.setText(dateString);
}
});
Hope that this helps!
You can add a ShowRangeHandler to your datePicker. This is an example to restrict the datePicker to dates in the past only, you can adapt it to limit to 90 days:
datePicker.addShowRangeHandler(new ShowRangeHandler<Date>() {
#Override
public void onShowRange(ShowRangeEvent<Date> event) {
Date today = new Date();
Date date = new Date(event.getStart().getTime());
while (date.before(event.getEnd())) {
if (date.after(today) && datePicker.isDateVisible(date)) {
datePicker.setTransientEnabledOnDates(false, date);
}
CalendarUtil.addDaysToDate(date, 1);
}
}
});
The above mentioned solutions worked exactly the way i expected..Thank you.I used the bootstrap datepicker in the link (https://gwtbootstrap3.github.io/gwtbootstrap3-demo/#dateTimePicker).
My page uses a JQuery UI Datepicker and loads with the current day selected and weekends and selected dates restricted.
I would like the current selected day to become unavailable at 2pm and the day move forward.
Can anyone help.
I would just use a variable for the the minDate
var dt = new Date();
if (dt.getHours() > 14) {
dt = dt.setDate(dt + 1); // go one day in the future
}
$(selector).datepicker({minDate: dt});
You'd just need to use the real javascript Date class methods - which I haven't used in a little while.
