Get today date in Google Apps Script

Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), "GMT+1", "dd/MM/yyyy")

You can change the format by doing swapping the values.

  • dd = day(31)
  • MM = Month(12) – Case sensitive
  • yyyy = Year(2017)
function changeDate() {
    var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(GA_CONFIG);
    // You could use now Date(); on its own but it will not look nice.
    var date = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), "GMT+1", "dd/MM/yyyy")
    var endDate = date
}
