UPDATE: Since Feb-2017(?) it seems this method no longer appears to work unfortunately.
You seem to be able to do this in jsFiddle by first getting the "Share full screen result" URL (from the Share menu) and then view the source of the full screen result to get the URL of the iframe used to display the result.
For example, the "full screen result" URL, ...

If you are using for loop you could use continue to terminate the execution of the current iteration.
A way to implement the above by using an if statement and || (logical OR)
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var allsheets = ss.getSheets();
for(var s in allsheets){
var sheet = allsheets[s];
// Stop iteration ...

Coercion in js is amazing and in this case you could simply use like this
sheet.getRange("B2").setValue(A + "")
Simply plus the empty string to your value.
And for something in the similar but reverse way you can use
+myString
Just using as a prefix an unary + operator, this will coerce the string to a number.

Working with date, time and specifically duration is a pain in JavaScript, and Google Sheets does not make it much easier.
A JavaScript Date object (which is really a datetime object) is not suited for working with durations. A datetime is a lot more complex than it seems at first.
So when you ask
Where did the "days" part of the duration go?

Short answer
How can I convert a cell value to a number?
On Google Sheets durations are just a display format for date values, so when a custom function takes a duration it's treated as a date object.
Explanation
Doing arithmetic operations
When we are doing arithmetic operations on dates/times/duration, we should bear in mind the following:

I was able to piece together a solution thanks to the help of @Rubén who provided the elements. Perhaps there is a more elegant solution (with a single formula?), but this working for me.
This involves using formulas in 2 different cells, as well as a script.
Formula #1 (in cell A1 in this case) finds the closest date on or after today from the list of ...

You want a user to select a column letter from a dropdown list, and then have the spreadsheet "jump" to that column. There may be several ways to solve your question. Consider this answer as one approach.

The content of the dropdown list must be every column letter ...

Your data is in column A. The number of rows is large, but variable. If a cell in Column A contains text, the cell value should be changed to a boolean value of "FALSE". If the cell contains a ticked checkbox then you want to "uncheck" the checkbox. If the cell contains an "unticked" checkbox, then no action is required.
Your ...

To create a custom function use Google Apps Script. This is very similar to writing a JavaScript function.
/**
* If the arguments are numbers, the sum of will be returned
* If one of arguments are strings, they will be concatenated
*
* @customfunction
*/
function myCustomFunction(a,b){
return a + b;
}

I think we can't manipulate duration calculated. We need to convert them to numbers first, and then we can manipulate number values calculated. After that, we convert them back to duration.
For example, we want to add 2 duration at 2 ranges durationRg1 and durationRg2 into the range totalDuragionRg.
totalDurationRg.setValue(Add2Duration(durationRg1, ...

Google Apps Script / JavaScript doesn't include a "native" way to handle durations but you could use a library like moment.js to add several methods to handle them but this could imply a steeped learning curve. A simpler solution is to read the duration from the spreadsheet as "displayed value" by using getDisplayValue instead of the "inherent value" got ...

UPDATE: Google Apps Script now offers two JavaScript engines
Original: Based in Mozilla's Rhino JavaScript interpreter, which doesn't support several ECMAScript 5 features
New: Google V8, used by Chrome and Node.js, which support ECMAScript 6 but with some limitations (i.e. it doesn't support modules)

API calls, such as getRange and getValue are expensive, so you should minimize the number of times you get data from your sheet. But there's no apparent cost of getting a lot of data in one call. You could extract all the values from your sheet, store it in a JavaScript array, and operate on that.
So instead of calling getRange etc from within a for loop, ...

The range the script tried to add notes was within a protected range. That's why it works for app owner but not shared editors. I just unprotected the range for the script and it worked. Not ideal but it gets the job done. Hopefully Google will have separate permission layers for notes and cells. (also notes should have formatting!)

you are calling time inside date (formatDate) without actual date format so the sheet is guessing.
var formattedDate = Utilities.formatDate(time, "GMT+2", "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss");

The way that Sheets and Apps Script handle "dates" are very different.
For Sheets the "date" unit is 1 day; The base date is 1899-12-30 0:00:00, getting the timezone from the spreadsheet settings.
For Apps Script, which is based on JavaScript, the "date" unit is 1 millisecond. The base date is 1970-1-1 00:00:00 UTC.
Below is an example script that if the ...

If the pattern will always be the same (three columns for each customer), rather than searching for a column named status, your script could look to column C and every third column after it.
C is column 3
F is column 6
I is column 9
For this you could use the remainder (%) operator. Something like this:
(r.getColumn() % 3 === 0)

continue;

Well, It took me forever to find out what was the problem. After putting a lot of loggers to see the size of the array, I found out that once I put the array inside the for loop it changed the size. When I looped though it using the same method it just showed the correct values in the log, but using appendrow wrote the whole vector inside the spreadsheet..
