I'm connecting to a table from a SQL Server database. It has a few fields, with one of them being a date (WorkedDate, date datatype).

I'm loading that data into a gallery to display it, so I attempted a filter:

Filter(
'[AUDIT].[FBCountSheet]',
WorkedDate = DatePicker1.SelectedDate
)

This does not seem to work at all. My best guess was that it was returning a datetime from the date picker, so I tried doing a DATE(YEAR(),MONTH(),DAY()) wrapper on the Selected Date value to no avail. I have tested the filter on other columns (location, which is an int), but date is the only one that's not working.

Bonus question- is there really no way to type in your date on the date picker?

If the date exists in the SQL database but you are not finding any matches it is likely because the date formats difference between SQL and PowerApps. For example lets say your dates have the following formats.

SQL: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
PowerApps: m/d/yyyy

The solution would be to format the PowerApps date similar to the SQL format. By the way, many times a date within SQL is stored as plain-text

Filter(
 '[AUDIT].[FBCountSheet]',
 WorkedDate = Text(DatePicker1.SelectedDate, "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss")
)

Note: you might have to take a peek at the database tables in SQL to confirm the actual format.
