Thanks for the update – isn’t it mental that still after all this time Google haven’t just made selecting start and end dates default functionality? Oh Google engineers, please just make this very minor client side change for us?

Still works for tax year 2010. Thanks for the tip!

Open up FireBug. Change startDay value=”d:2009-01-01″. Change endDay value=”d:2009-12-31″. Remove onclick=”assignDates()”. Click on Download.

Thanks for the tip! I downloaded firebug, played around for a bit following your post, and finally got the >60 day report that I needed.

Uncanny timing! I just about 15 minutes ago sent this email to a reader who asked about my technique:

Still works – they have changed their code a little though.

There are two hidden fields that the form actually uses. The values
from UI elements are copied over ‘onclick’ of the submit button. You
can use firebug to remove the javascript onclick, and the onchange of
the startdate UI field. Then just put value=”d:2008-01-01″ (or the
date you want) attributes into the hidden fields and you’ll be set!

I’ll do a quick blog update for this later on tonight.

I just did something similar… I tried pasting your code, but wasn’t successful. They appear to have updated since with From and To select boxes. However, I could only select back 90 days. It was as opening firebug and changing the value=”” on the that was selected, though, and I got all of 2008 in one file. I’ll have to pay those taxes now 🙂
