I would like a calendar drop box type of date picker to add to specific cells. I have seen those on so many other forms. Please work on this. Thank you

This is a great feature. Of-course it would be really great to have option of choosing the format of date as well but this also works fine for me.
I caste my vote to add it. -

i would use it on a daily basis.
It is something your competitor (SmartSheet) has, and is essential for what I do

I use the app often and would wish it was possible to pick both the date and time in the same cell.
Nonetheless, much appreciated. -

The one thing that is missing for me is that you should be able to choose under settings, the date output format. I would like to set mine to show mm/dd/yyyy if that could be done it would be perfect.

It would be nice to have the ability to have this float within the window to allow visibility while navigating the tab

It's more stable than integrating the add-in called 'datepicker' however this version doesn't let you overwrite, so an additional step is introduced.

WOW! After YEARS of posting on and monitoring this thread I'm happy just to have someone even respond. At the very basic level, we used to have it, designed dependent on it, then you took it away without warning. for the reason itself you should add it again. Never mind that it's a basic feature in in other programs. Which reminds me.. Get with the program please! :-)

Why don't you ask instead - vote here for no date picker. You would get ZERO responses because NO-ONE would say NO to it. Why are you even asking - it's a no-brainer.

This is a basic feature which should have always been there. This time I hope it does stay. Please discontinue with the click here to vote at the end of the date picker ASAP. Why is it necessary?

I've been using the excellent one here
http://apps.vertex42.com/minicalendar/index.html
but I've become fed of seeing the reminder "vote on a built in date picker" at the bottom of my date picker after so many months - I wish they'd remove it!

How is it possible that this feature, which is so BASIC to so many spreadsheets, is not available for so many years? Considering that it USED to be a feature of Excel, it boggles my mind that it is no longer available.

I have used Google Sheets, a lot, and if Microsoft were to make the Excel calendar pop-up date picker like the one that Google uses in Sheets, then that would be great.
The Google Sheets pop-up date picker works exactly how I would do it if I were the coder. -
