Posted on by

Hi, 

This's a leave application app. User need to fille in leave date and time, and new created item should be updated in Excel source file as well. What I did now is adding date picker and text input to fill in date and hour and minute, but I don't know how to make this vaule updated in Excel. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Good morning, are you implementing a patch function?

    Hi @YanLiang ,

     

    The two data time columns seem to be Text type columns. It would be better to use a date time column in Excel:

    In PowerApps, you can enable ISO 8601 date format in settings:

    Then in the Edit form, when add the two fields into the form, the controls would be automatically inserted:

    I don't have this feature setting. I have updated the format in Excel, but still doesn't work.

    Hi @YanLiang ,

     

    It's on the menu bar:

    and again, you will need to delete and add the connection.

    Hi @YanLiang ,

     

    The form needs to be re-added as well.

    Hi @YanLiang ,

     

    They seems more like to be Text column than Date and time column, don't they?

     

    Best regards,
