Splitting date range to different Sharepoint records

Posted on by SmoothOperator

Hello there,

I am creating a parking reservation app, where I want the parking spot owner to free his spot (during wfh) for a range of days.
The tricky thing that I am trying to implement though, is that the range should not be a single record (i.e. available from November 1st to 5th November).
Instead, I want the owner to free the position and on the SharePoint list to record 4 separate records (sorry for the EU dates)

1/11-2/11
2/11-3/11
3/11-4/11
4/11-5/11
So there should not be two columns like this:
Available from | Available to
1/11 | 5/11

instead what I would like is :
Available from
1/11
2/11

3/11

4/11

@SmoothOperator

Use DateDiff function to find out the number of day between the date range.

Documentation link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-dateadd-datediff

Let us assume, you got 5. Now, you can create a collection with all the required SharePoint list items as below:

// Replace with the DateDiff value

ClearCollect(colNoOfDays, sequence(5))

// Creating collection of SP list items to be created

Collect(colSPItems, ForAll(colNoOfDays, { Title: <SP List Title>, AvailableFrom: DateAdd(AvailableFrom,ThisRecord.Value) })

// This will create 5 items in SP list.

Collect(<SPList>,colSPItems)

I did not try in my personal tenant but you can try this approach.
