Short Cut Keys
Dates in Platinum have special keys available when you are accepting them.
- '=' - Enter today's date.
- '-' - Previous day to the date already entered (today's date if the date is blank).
- '+' - Next day to the date already entered (today's date if the date is blank).
- 'M' - First day of the month of the date already entered (today's date if the date is blank).
- 'H' - Last day of the month of the date already entered (today's date if the date is blank).
- 'Y' - First day of the year of the date already entered (today's date if the date is blank).
- 'R' - Last day of the year of the date already entered (today's date if the date is blank).
- 'W' - The Monday (Beginning) of this week of the date already entered (today's date if the date is blank).
- 'K' - The Sunday (End) of this week of the date already entered (today's date if the date is blank).
Functions Available
- If you press the <Enter> key on a blank date, the user date will be used and accepted.
- If you press the <F1> key the system date will be used and accepted.
- The calendar/date calculator is available by pressing the <Shift+F2> key.
- Pressing <Ctrl+F2> will blank out the date.
More Information
- If you enter a day beyond the end of the month then it will be automatically substituted with the last day of that month. e.g. 31/06/2003 will be converted to 30/06/2003.
- The month and year elements of the date will be filled in if you leave them blank. e.g. If the year is 2003 and you enter 30/06, the date entered would be 30/06/2003.
- You may use any of these separators '-', '/', '\' and '.' to separate the different elements of the date.
- Using the above key combinations allows you encode date calculations in macros. Your auto-run macro reports can calculate date ranges relative to today/the current month or year etc.
