In the datasheet view I want to be able to edit the All Day Event. It is greyed out.  I have SharePoint 2013 it worked fine in SharePoint 2010.

Is there a way to be able to do this?

Can not edit this to Yes or No.

Hi,

According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to make All Day Event  editable in Datasheet view.

There is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint.

By design in SharePoint 2013, the All Day Event filed is read only in Datasheet view.

As a workaround, you can create a Yes/No column to instead the All Day Event filed.

Then set the All Day Event filed value based on the value of the Yes/No column programmically.

Thanks,

Thanks for that information and workaround.

Too bad they made it that way in 2013 when in 2010 it worked fine.  Seems like working backwards.
I am finding many items in the 2013 version very unfriendly and less useful then it was in 2010.

My 2 cents if MS is listening.

I agree with troyak.

Yes, this is needed!  Why force people to program in a workaround?  Without this, the datasheet view is useless in SharePoint when it comes to calendars, because you can't actually add any events that will show up on the calendar view.
