Date Picker Excel Update Field

Posted on by eaguilera1

Hello,

First time posting 🙂

I am using an Excel Table (I know it's not the best data source), to log inspections. One of the columns is for the Inspection Date.

I have tried populating a canvas app from data source, and starting from scratch; however the issue is that the DateValue card always returns a date with the time appended.

I have tried adding a datepicker and simple text input with

Update: DateValue3.SelectedDate

Update: Text(DateValue3.SelectedDate,DateTimeFormat.ShortDate)

And a few more variations without much luck.

The result is always something like this:

I also tried rebuilding the excel table to General format, as well as shortDate format but haven't managed to get it working.

loosing lots of hair over here!!😅

Appreciate any help 🙂

Hi @eaguilera1 ,

Dates and Excel . . . one solution is to format it in Excel as Text and have the Update

Text(DateValue3.SelectedDate,"dd/mm/yyyy")

then your DefaultDate

DateValue(ThisItem.'Inspection Date')

Thank you @WarrenBelz ! I couldn't manage to get it working initially but you got me thinking about setting it all as text and so I made some adjustments to the initial Excel table. Basically avoided anything that resembled a date, including the name of the column. Afterwards, applying your code solved it and I could rename columns etc.
