U.WEB_CONTROL.DATEPICKER

Summary

Helper method used to create Web control indicator that will prompt UWeb to render an interactive date picker (calendar) in the indicated report cell. Supports having a time picker included or showing only a time picker

Syntax

=U.WEB_CONTROL.DATEPICKER([value], [attributes], [location])

Parameters

Parameter Required Description
[value] No The current date (and/or time) value of the datepicker. Required when publishing with U.INCLUDE_HTML metadata set even if just set to a blank string ("") to indicate no selection specified.
[attributes] No A 2-column vector, with setting name on the left and its value on the right, of attributes to be applied. See table of supported attributes at the bottom of this tab.
[location] No A reference to the specific cell in the report_range that will contain the interactive datepicker when rendered in a browser. Cell immediately to left of formula (or above if rows layout) is assumed if value not set. If a range reference is provided then location is assumed to be the bottom-right cell of the reference.

Behavior

The documented public interface is supported by the current U Add-in source signature and the maintained Usage Examples workbook. Optional parameters are shown in square brackets in the syntax above; omit the brackets when entering a formula.

Return Value

Returns the function result or action status described by the formula and parameters above. The maintained sources do not define a narrower, stable return contract for this function.

Examples

=U.WEB_CONTROL.DATEPICKER(C22,,E22)

=U.WEB_CONTROL.DATEPICKER(C23,,E23)

=U.WEB_CONTROL.DATEPICKER(C59,,E57)

Notes

  • Formula examples are preserved from maintained workbook usage and normalized to the current U. prefix.
  • Complete formulas demonstrate working patterns; they do not imply that undocumented option values are supported.
  • Where maintained sources do not specify every accepted value, default, or error message, this page does not infer one.
  • For functions that perform actions, use a visible trigger or supported block/throttle parameter to avoid unintended repetition during recalculation.
