I have a column in which dates are saved in string format like this:
*"Tuesday, 18th November(11:00)" *
I want to take this string date and save its equivalent date in *Date
format* corresponding to its row in* new column (first empty column in
sheet)*, so that I can later compare that date with current date.
I have written this function and I am in test phase. However I have two
questions :
1) This function is not inserting value in corresponding row in new column
2) Since setValue is Object type it will not save value in Date type, for
me setDay, set Month methods are not working (may be because of wrong
object).
Here is my code:
function replaceStringDate(e) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2;
var lastRow = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getLastRow();
var lastColumn = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getLastColumn();
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow,2,lastRow,12);
var values = dataRange.getValues();
var index = dataRange.getRowIndex();
var lastCell = sheet.getRange(index,(lastColumn+1));
for(i=0;i<values.length;++i){
var appointmentDateFirst = values[i][8] ;
if (appointmentDateFirst == "Tuesday, 18th November
(11:00)") {lastCell.setValue("18/11/11");}
} //end for loop
