Automate a web user task - web

I need to schedule an appointment at a government office via their website. Since all timeslots are occupied, I need to recheck the site until a timeslot opens. The first screen has a button to press, the second screen: a radio-button to select, a check-box to mark and a button to press, and the third screen is a calendar as so:
Months June-August are open, so I need to iterate through these months in the drop-down. So if a day is colored yellow this means there is an open timeslot.
I need to automate the process of checking for timeslot availability, so if there are open timeslots (a yellow colored day) I will get some notification e.g. by email. My question is what is the best tool for the job & pointers on how to implement my specific scenario using that tool be it an existing app/extension (best) or a program (Python?) I should write. If it's a Python script, I will be happy to get some sample if possible.
Thanks for any suggestions.

How can I mark/unmark a Date in Android app

I'm developing an app for event calendar in android studio. But I want to mark a random date by taping on the date and then pressing the Mark Button. Again Unmark the date by clicking the Unmark Button.
N.B: I'm currently marking the current date.
Is there any effective solution for my desired criteria?
You will need to maintain your own data structure of which dates are selected. This can be in-memory, persisted via SQLite, etc. There is too little information in your question to give a better answer.

excel multiple checkbox selection automation

I am trying to create an Excel spreadsheet,
The user can select as many task scenarios as they want, once they are done I want to automate the responses separating it by task.
For examples there are check boxes with following tasks:
Make bed
brush teeth
mop floor
fold laundry
Then once the user selects the tasks they are looking for an out put below will show: (comma's separate cells)
Make Bed
Who's responsible, how do they make the bed, how long should it take the bed
Brush Teeth
Who's responsible, how do they brush their teeth, how long should it take to brush teeth
etc.
I currently have a macro set up that when a user selects check boxes, I put in a formula that states if checked then show "xxxx" and hard coded in each cell for each task) issue is when not all check boxes are checks then there are blank cells and bottom ones could get lost, and does too nice option since the formula states if its not checked its blank.
Another nice to have would be having user selecting task and user group, that way I could show that user groups tasks for that task as opposed to many task items for the overall task that are irrelevant to the user. I hope its clear.

subform excel 2013 work around

My main programming experience is with access, but now I have to develope in excel. However I used subforms alot but don't see how I can do the same or similar in excel.
What I'm trying to do is have a subform that shows notes. Each note has a date initials and body. On the main form is a button to add notes.
So when you open the main record page you see the ongoing activity without
the need to change pages and you can scroll back through the history of notes
.
Is it possible to have a scrollable text area as long as it can show multiple notes?
I`ve already spent quite a bit of time developing an application in Excel and
don't really want to switch to Access at this point as most of the rest of the app requires Excel.
Not looking for complete code but at least pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks

p:repeat partial update

I am using Primefaces 6.0 and the p:repeat component
I have an input component (specifically p:calendar) inside a p:repeat. What I want is this: when I select a date/time on a specific calendar, I need to update every calendar inside the repeat, apart from the one I edited/selected the date.
The reason I want this is because if I update the whole repeat (the panel wrapping it), every time the user selects a date the calendar disappears (understandably since it's re rendered). But because I allow my users to also select hours and minutes, it's bad from a UX perspective to have the need to reopen the calendar every time the user selects any of month/hours/minutes.
As a workaround, is there a way to attach an event to the close button of the calendar, so I can do the processing after the user is done editing the date?
Edit: Actually the close button event wont help because the user can just click outside of the popup.

How to get the completion time of a task in Outlook

I've written a VBA macro that exports in excel all completed (ticked) mails from a mailbox based upon the TaskCompletedDate property. However TaskCompletedDate shows only the date portion of the DateTime value. Is there a way to getthe time value as well?
I'm using Outlook 2010.
Documentation reads that it returns Date type, so you can't get exact time I'm affraid, unless you save it on your own in the first place.
yes you can get the time as well. For this first go to your outlook express mailbox. Then right click on the column header and select "View Settings". Now in the pop-up window click "Format Columns". Now select the "Flag Completed Date" column on the left hand side and then from the format drop down select the 1st, 2nd or 3rd option. Click ok and come out of settings.
Now whenever you extract the info from the taskcompleteddate property you will get the time as well.
I am too late to answer... i have joined recently. But I hope this will help someone else who might be looking for it.

You cannot do that - Outlook only stores the date (in the UTC time zone). You can see the data on the MAPI level in OutlookSpy (I am its author - select the task, click IMessage button).
