I am tried to add date in cells but sheet automatically store value in string with single quote ('
). For Store value in date , We also try to add userEnteredFormat
but it didn't work for us.
Below are append request.
{
requests = [{
appendCells = {
fields = userEnteredValue,
userEnteredFormat.numberFormat,
rows = [{
values = [{
userEnteredValue = {
numberValue = 10.0
}
}, {
userEnteredValue = {
stringValue = Sample String
}
}, {
userEnteredFormat = {
numberFormat = {
type = DATE
}
},
userEnteredValue = {
stringValue = 2015 - 07 - 13
}
}, {
userEnteredValue = {
boolValue = true
}
}, {
userEnteredFormat = {
numberFormat = {
type = DATE
}
},
userEnteredValue = {
stringValue = 2015 - 07 - 13
}
}]
}],
sheetId = abc
}
}]}

To provide an example of what Sam's answer means, if you just want to create a date value using AppendCellsRequest
, you can create the cell like this:
CellData cell = new CellData();
cell.setUserEnteredValue(new ExtendedValue().setNumberValue(42198.0));
cell.setUserEnteredFormat(
new CellFormat().setNumberFormat(new NumberFormat().setType("DATE")));
Here 42198 is the number of days between December 30th 1899 and July 13th 2015.
