Calendar Event Filtering & Sorting

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello strange thing is happening (maybe by design). I want to make a small 1 pager, that shows the next 3 calendar events, 3 flagged emails, etc.. a quick daily overview.

I have dropped in a Gallery and set Items = Filter(Office365Outlook.CalendarGetItems("Calendar").value,Start>=Now()). This results in 3 events, however not sorted by date/time. I tried wrapping a Sort() function around/in it but cannot seem to get it to work. Ideally i want to sort and show the next three events that will occur from Now().

Then i also want to display a Label showing human readable relative times like "Your next event is in 39 minutes". I am trying to achieve this with something like Text = Text(DateDiff(Now(),ThisItem.Start,Minutes),"[$-en-GB]hh:mm")

Ps. I used color to represent code, as the Code formatter is not working.. I click it and nothing, at all, happens..

I have tried to upgrade toV2CalendarGetItems, but now receive this error. "An identifier was expected at position 9"

I have tried playing with the $filter a bit, both dont work, returning the same error above.

Office365Outlook.V2CalendarGetItems("Calendar",{'$filter': "Start gt " & Now()}).value
Office365Outlook.V2CalendarGetItems("Calendar",{'$filter': "start gt " & Text(Now()) & "end lt " & Text(DateAdd(Now(),10,Days))}).value

Hi @Anonymous ,

I think this cannot be achieved so far. Because according to the documentation, the function won't return the Start time column. So you cannot use it to filter or sort.

If you need this, consider to submit an idea here:

Thank you - where in the Docs does it say that?
