Set Sunday date and Saturday date for curent week | XM Community
Skip to main content

I want to determine the Sunday and Saturday dates for the current week and then display them in survey fields. I have the following JavaScript which is close to working but doesn’t for some reason. Can someone tell me what is wrong? Thanks

 

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
    
        /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is loaded*/
    var today = new Date();
    var dayOfWeek = today.getDay(); // 0 (Sunday) to 6 (Saturday)
    
    // Calculate the date for the current week's Sunday
    var sunday = new Date(today);
    sunday.setDate(today.getDate() - dayOfWeek);
    
    // Calculate the date for the current week's Saturday
    var saturday = new Date(today);
    saturday.setDate(today.getDate() + (6 - dayOfWeek));
    
    // Format the dates as YYYY-MM-DD
    var formatDate = function(date) {
        var year = date.getFullYear();
        var month = ('0' + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);
        var day = ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2);
        return year + '-' + month + '-' + day;
    };
    
    var sundayDate = formatDate(sunday);
    var saturdayDate = formatDate(saturday);
    
    // Set the embedded data fields
    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('SundayDate', sundayDate);
    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('SaturdayDate', saturdayDate);
    
    // Set the default values for the date fields
    document.getElementById('Q1').value = sundayDate; // Replace 'QID1' with your question ID for Sunday
    document.getElementById('Q2').value = saturdayDate; // Replace 'QID2' with your question ID for Saturday


});

@Decomposer Code from AI doesn’t understand the structure of Qualtrics. The problem is within these 2 line of code

document.getElementById('Q1').value = sundayDate; // Replace 'QID1' with your question ID for Sunday     document.getElementById('Q2').value = saturdayDate; // Replace 'QID2' with your question ID for Saturday

If you still want to show the date right in the question that running your code, you need to have a little bit of HTML knowledge and get the right Id.
Or else, an easier way is to pipe-text the field to a question on the next page with ${e://Field/SundayDate} and ${e://Field/SaturdayDate}

Thanks Nam, that’s perfect. I could see it was setting the Embedded variables correctly but not displaying on the form.
