google-apps-script Changing column format

Question

need to format columns c, e and a few others to show the date using the format below:

4 July 2014

Can't work out how to do it ... new to google script!

Answer 1

To do this using Apps script, you can use the setNumberFormat(numberFormat), which lists that date formats follow the SimpleDateFormat specification.

Sample code that will do this:

function formatDate(){
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
  sheet.getRange("A2").setNumberFormat('dd MMM yyyy');
};
