Google Sheets – Cannot Select Pre-Selected Date in Date Picker

Per the official list of keyboard shortcuts, F2 is the only key responsible for editing a cell. I've just tried it in 3 browsers (Chrome 16, Firefox 9, and IE 9) and it doesn't function the same way as it does in Excel.

Your solutions are 1) pressing F2 before entering any data, 2) pressing Backspace to remove the characters you've typed after the error, or 3) using the mouse to navigate.

This little script will:

• create an extra menu item, thus making it accessible throughout the workbook. T
• the menu item will set the active range to column E, last row + 1.

See the example I've prepared: Creating a function...Google spreadsheet is opened (edit rights)

function onOpen() {
  // get active spreadsheet
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();

  // create menu
  var menu = [{name: "get last row", functionName: "getLastRow"}];

  // add to menu
  ss.addMenu("Rows", menu);  

  // execute function
  getLastRow();  
}

function getLastRow() {
  // get active spreadsheet
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();

  // get active sheet
  var sh = ss.getActiveSheet();

  // get column F
  var indLastCol = sh.getLastColumn()-1;

  // get last row + 1
  var indRowWithout = sh.getLastRow()+1;

  // set new active range
  sh.setActiveCell('E'+indRowWithout);
}
