<div id="my"></div>

<script>
data = [
    ['Mazda', 2001, 2000, '2006-01-01'],
    ['Pegeout', 2010, 5000, '2005-01-01'],
    ['Honda Fit', 2009, 3000, '2004-01-01'],
    ['Honda CRV', 2010, 6000, '2003-01-01'],
];

$('#my').jexcel({
    data:data,
    colHeaders: ['Model', 'Date', 'Price', 'Date'],
    colWidths: [ 300, 80, 100, 100 ],
    columns: [
        { type: 'text' },
        { type: 'numeric' },
        { type: 'numeric' },
        { type: 'calendar', options: { format:'DD/MM/YYYY' } },
    ]
});
</script>

Date column customization

Customize the format and the behavior of your column through the initialization options, as follow:


Calendar initialization options

options : {
    format:'DD/MM/YYYY', // Date format
    readonly:0, // Input as readonly (true or false)
    today:0, // Input with at today as default (true or false)
    time:0, // Show time picker
    clear:1, // Show clear button
    mask:1, // Mask the input
    months:['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'], // Translations can be done here
    weekdays:['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday'], // Translations can be done here
    weekdays_short:['S', 'M', 'T', 'W', 'T', 'F', 'S'] // Translations can be done here
};

Considering the example above, you can create a calendar including a time picker by simple send the option time:1 as the following example.

<div id="my2"></div>

<script>
$('#my2').jexcel({
    data:data,
    colHeaders: ['Model', 'Year', 'Price', 'Date'],
    colWidths: [ 300, 80, 100, 120 ],
    columns: [
        { type: 'text' },
        { type: 'text' },
        { type: 'text' },
        { type: 'calendar', options: { format:'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI', time:1 } },
    ]
});
</script>
