How to change Excel Column Type in JS Script to Text before Exporting Data into Excel Sheet?

I am needing to convert 5 columns to TEXT before the program writes the data to it because Excel changes my 8 digit formatted date (MM/DD/YY) that gets outputted to those columns to the Date format (MM/DD/YYYY). The outputted date needs to stay in the 8 digit format in order to rerun it as the next input file to update the system. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have tried using:
ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Range("E:E").TextToColumns;
but it did not work. Here's all of the code:
<script>
function js_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss () {
now = new Date();
year = "" + now.getFullYear();
month = "" + (now.getMonth() + 1);
if (month.length == 1) { month = "0" + month; }
day = "" + now.getDate();
if (day.length == 1) { day = "0" + day; }
hour = "" + now.getHours();
if (hour.length == 1) { hour = "0" + hour; }
minute = "" + now.getMinutes();
if (minute.length == 1) { minute = "0" + minute; }
second = "" + now.getSeconds();
if (second.length == 1) { second = "0" + second; }
return month + "" + day + "" + year.substring(2) + "" + hour + "" + minute + "" + second; }
function pad(num, len) { var str = '' + num; while (str.length < len) { str = '0' + str; } return str; } function writeToExcel() { try { var loanStr; var FullRecs; var passFail; var Processed = 0; var Rejected = 0; var D9ID; var time; var date; var datetime; var row = 0; var col; var str = document.getElementById("outstr").value; var headerStr = "|Account|Stop_Code_1|SC_1_Date|Stop_Code_2|SC_2_Date|Stop_Code_3|SC_3_Date|Lockout_Code|Lock_Date|Warning_Code|Warning_Date|"; var ExcelSheet = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application"); var excelBook = ExcelSheet.Workbooks.Add; var RSheet = excelBook.Worksheets(1); ExcelSheet.Worksheets.Activate; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Name = "Removals-" + js_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss (); var outputdate = month + "-" + day + "-" + year.substring(2); var outputtime = hour + "-" + minute; var writefilepath = document.getElementById("writepath").value; var filepath = writefilepath.substring(0, writefilepath.lastIndexOf("\\") + 1); filepath = filepath + "DEL LOAN CODE Removal" + "_" + outputdate + "_" + outputtime + "_" + "OUTPUT" + ".xlsx"; date = month + "/" + day + "/" + year.substring(2); time = hour + ":" + minute + ":" + second; RSheet.Cells(1, 3).ColumnWidth = 15; RSheet.Cells(1, 4).ColumnWidth = 15; RSheet.Cells(1, 5).ColumnWidth = 15; RSheet.Cells(1, 6).ColumnWidth = 15; RSheet.Cells(1, 7).ColumnWidth = 15; RSheet.Cells(1, 8).ColumnWidth = 15; RSheet.Cells(1, 9).ColumnWidth = 15; RSheet.Cells(1, 10).ColumnWidth = 15; RSheet.Cells(1, 11).ColumnWidth = 15; RSheet.Cells(1, 12).ColumnWidth = 15; RSheet.Cells(1, 13).ColumnWidth = 15; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1).value = ""; var headings = headerStr.split("|"); for(var k = 0; k < (headings.length - 1); k ++ ) { ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(7, k + 2).value = headings[k]; } FullRecs = str.split("~~"); for(var m = 0; m < (FullRecs.length - 1); m = m + 2) { loanStr = FullRecs[m].split("^"); for(var i = 0; i < (loanStr.length - 1); i ++ ) { var fieldStr = loanStr[i].split("|"); for(var j = 0; j < (fieldStr.length); j ++ ) { ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(row + 8, j + 2).value = fieldStr[j]; } row = row + 1; } } for(var n = 1; n <= (FullRecs.length - 1); n = n + 2) { passFail = FullRecs[n].split("|"); D9ID = passFail[0]; Processed = Processed + Number(passFail[1]); Rejected = Rejected + Number(passFail[2]); } var total = Number(Processed) + Number(Rejected) ; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 2).value = "USER"; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 4).value = "SUMMARY"; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 2).value = "DATE"; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 3).value = date; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(4, 2).value = "TIME"; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(4, 3).value = time; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 3).value = D9ID; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 4).value = "PROCESSED ITEMS"; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 5).value = + Processed; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(4, 4).value = "REJECTED ITEMS"; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(4, 5).value = + Rejected; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Range("B2, B3, B4, D2, D3, D4, B7, C7, D7, E7, F7, G7, H7,I7,J7,K7,L7,M7").Font.Bold = true; for( var rb = 2; rb < 5; rb ++ ) { for( var cb = 2; cb < 6; cb ++ ) { RSheet.Cells(rb, cb).BorderAround(1).LineStyle = 1; } } for( var datarow = 7; datarow <= (7 + Number(total)); datarow ++ ) { for( var datacolumn = 3; datacolumn < 14; datacolumn ++ ) { RSheet.Cells(datarow, datacolumn).BorderAround(1).LineStyle = 1; } } ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Columns("A:P").HorizontalAlignment = 2; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Range("C2", "C4").HorizontalAlignment = 3; ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Range("E2", "E4").HorizontalAlignment = 3; excelBook.SaveAs(filepath); ExcelSheet.Visible = false; ExcelSheet.UserControl = true; ExcelSheet.Application.Quit(); return true; } catch(e) { if(e.number == - 2146827284) { alert(e.description + ".

I am trying to simplify this code

Can this code be simplified? I am pretty sure it can be achieved by abstracting the variable and using an if else or a switch, each case would be the element ID...I'm having a a difficult time working through this.

please suggest somthing

I got the answer I used if else loop first I have captured current week last date mean Saturday date and then compared with next saturday

Javascript Date constructor ignoring parameters

Supposedly, I should be able to create an arbitrary date using the Date constructor as demonstrated here and referenced here
Where am I going wrong? Please notice that on the last few lines of prettyDateToTimeStamp, I modify the month and day to verify that the Date constructor is doing something - but it is not noticing anything I pass in and just returns the current date.
Here is my code below: and a jsfiddle
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p id="demo">Click the button to display the full year of todays date.</p>
<p id="demo2">todays date.</p>
<p id="demo3">some other date.</p>
<button onclick="showdates()">Try it</button>
<script>
function showdates() {
var d = Date.now();
var dv = document.getElementById('demo');
dv.innerHTML = d;
var pd = prettyDate(d);
dv = document.getElementById('demo2');
dv.innerHTML = pd;
var ts = prettyDateToTimeStamp(pd);
dv = document.getElementById('demo3');
dv.innerHTML = ts;
}
function prettyDate(javaScriptTimeStamp) {
var dt = new Date(javaScriptTimeStamp);
var year = dt.getFullYear();
var month = dt.getMonth() + 1;
var day = dt.getDate();
var hours = dt.getHours();
var minutes = dt.getMinutes();
var seconds = dt.getSeconds();
return month + "/" + day + "/" + year + " " + hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
}
function prettyDateToTimeStamp(prettyDate) {
var halves = prettyDate.split(' ');
console.log("halves: " + halves);
var calpart = halves[0];
console.log("calpart : " + calpart );
var clockpart = halves[1];
console.log("clockpart : " + clockpart );
var calbits = calpart.split('/');
console.log("calbits : " + calbits );
var timebits = clockpart.split(':');
console.log("timebits : " + timebits );
var year = parseInt(calbits[2],10);
console.log("year : " + year );
var month = parseInt(calbits[0],10);
console.log("month : " + month );
var day = parseInt(calbits[1],10);
console.log("day : " + day );
var hour = parseInt(timebits[0],10);
console.log("hour : " + hour );
var min = parseInt(timebits[1],10);
console.log("min : " + min );
var sec = parseInt(timebits[2],10);
console.log("sec : " + sec );
month += 3; // change month radically to demonstrate the problem
console.log("month is now: " + month );
day += 7; // change day too
console.log("day is now: " + day );
var ts = Date(year,month,day,hour,min,sec,0);
console.log("ts : " + ts ); // date ctor paramters completely ignored...?
return ts;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

omg, I have to say "new" Date .... (I've been using Python too much lately)
corrected code now works.
function prettyDateToTimeStamp(prettyDate) {
var halves = prettyDate.split(' ');
var calpart = halves[0];
var clockpart = halves[1];
var calbits = calpart.split('/');
var timebits = clockpart.split(':');
var year = parseInt(calbits[2],10);
var month = parseInt(calbits[0],10);
var day = parseInt(calbits[1],10);
var hour = parseInt(timebits[0],10);
var min = parseInt(timebits[1],10);
var sec = parseInt(timebits[2],10);
month += 3; // change month radically to demonstrate the problem
day += 7; // change day too
var ts = new Date(year,month,day,hour,min,sec,0); // you have to use NEW here!
return ts;
}

How do I get custom message within Date / Time?

I am attempting to display a greeting before the date / time depending on what time of day it is.
Good Morning
Good Afternoon
Good Evening
I have that message working.
I also want to have the date and time displayed as "It is TIME on DATE."
Whenever I try to change something with the time date code I can no longer get it to display even that.
Any advice would be helpful.
function MakeArray(n) {
this.length = n;
}
monthNames = new MakeArray(13);
monthNames[1] = "January";

function customDateString(oneDate) {
var theDay = dayNames[oneDate.getDay() + 1],

return theDay + ", " + theMonth + " " + oneDate.getDate() + ", " + theYear;
}
var today = new Date();
alert(dayPart(today) + "." + customDateString(today));
On jsFiddle

Try this as your function:
function customDateString(oneDate) {
var theDay = dayNames[oneDate.getDay() + 1]
var theMonth = monthNames[oneDate.getMonth() + 1]
var theYear = oneDate.getFullYear()
theYear += (theYear < 100) ? 1900 : 0
return 'It is ' + new Date().timeNow() + ' on ' + theMonth + " " + oneDate.getDate() + ", " + theYear + '. ';
}
With this prototype:
Date.prototype.timeNow = function () {
return ((this.getHours() < 10)?"0":"") + this.getHours() +":"+ ((this.getMinutes() < 10)?"0":"") + this.getMinutes() +":"+ ((this.getSeconds() < 10)?"0":"") + this.getSeconds();
}
Demo
getFullYear returns a four-digit year, instead of just getYear which, for example, would return 14 in the year 2014.
