How can I use Google Apps Script to convert the month name in a cell formatted as "MMMM" to uppercase in Google Sheets?

I have a cell that displays the month name in date format using MMMM. How can I script to convert the month name to uppercase while keeping the cell formatted as a date? I've attempted to use toUpperCase() without success.

The code snippet I'm experimenting with is:

sheet.getRange(cells[0],1).toUpperCase();

I also tried using getValues() combined with toUpperCase(), but it didn't work either.

Is there another Javascript or GAS method that can achieve this, or am I approaching it incorrectly?

EDIT: I intend to store the uppercase month name in the cell without converting it to text format, maintaining its date format.

Answer №1

Is it possible to display a date in a cell as an uppercase month name? It seems there is no specific formatting option for achieving this.

Instead of using Apps Script, one workaround could be inserting a new column and applying an array formula in the first row:

=arrayformula(upper(trim(M1:M)))

This additional column would be solely for visualization purposes, leaving the original date column intact for reference within formulas.

Though the query mentions Apps Script, here's how you can convert the month name to uppercase using that tool:

sheet.getRange(cells[0], 1).getDisplayValue().toUpperCase();

It's important to note that storing this uppercase text string as a numerical date value in a cell is not feasible.

For more information on Sheets API Date and Number Formats, refer to their official documentation.
