Google spreadsheet / docs , jump to current date cell on Open

Question

I\'ve searched for this topic and have found a few threads - however, none of the answers (usually in the form of scripts) in those topics have proven to be successful to me

Answer 1

This works when dates are in first column (column A) and you want to go to the row near the current date (you can tweak the numbers to suit):

function onOpen() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var d1 = new Date().getTime();
var a; 
for (a = 1; (Math.floor((d1-sheet.getRange(a,1).getValue())/86400000)) > 5; a++) 

try {    var range = sheet.getRange(a+25,2);  } 
  catch(err) {    var range = sheet.getRange(2, 2)  }
sheet.setActiveSelection(range);
}
