Gallery colour depending on date

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Angry_Sys_Admin 181

Hi all.

 

Within my app I have a gallery for employee profiles. Within the profile sharepoint list I have 3 date boxes, 

 

Rota Start date

Rota End date

Shifts completed date

 

so as a prompt to complete the rota in time I need the the gallery colours to highlight in the following:

 

If Rota start date = 3 weeks from now, colour green

if Rota Start date = 2 weeks from now, colour yellow

if Rota Start date = 1 week from now, colour red,

 

If Shifts Completed date is = to Rota Start Date, no fill colour. 

thanks

    Hi @Angry_Sys_Admin ,

     

    Do you want to set the item to red when the Rota Start date is within the next week, yellow when it is within the second week, and green when it is after the second week?

     

    Maybe you could try the following formula:

    If(ThisItem.'Rota start date'=ThisItem.'Shifts completed date',RGBA(0, 0, 0, 0),
If(ThisItem.'Rota start date'<=DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),27)&&ThisItem.'Rota start date'>DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),21),Green,
If(ThisItem.'Rota start date'<=DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),20)&&ThisItem.'Rota start date'>DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),14),Yellow,
If(ThisItem.'Rota start date'<=DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),13)&&ThisItem.'Rota start date'>DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),7),Red,RGBA(0, 0, 0, 0))))
)

    @v-yujincui-msft 

     

    Just thought, I could do with adding a flag for 5 weeks prior to rote start.  I added the following code but this didn't work, what am I getting wrong here?

     

    If(ThisItem.'Rota start date'<=DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),34)&&ThisItem.'Rota start date'>DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),35),LightBlue,

     

    Many thanks for your help

    Hi @Angry_Sys_Admin ,

     

    Is this what you need?

    If(ThisItem.'Rota start date'=ThisItem.'Shifts completed date',RGBA(0, 0, 0, 0),
If(ThisItem.'Rota start date'<=DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),27)&&ThisItem.'Rota start date'>DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),21),Green,
If(ThisItem.'Rota start date'<=DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),20)&&ThisItem.'Rota start date'>DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),14),Yellow,
If(ThisItem.'Rota start date'<=DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),13)&&ThisItem.'Rota start date'>DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),7),Red,If(ThisItem.'Rota start date'<=DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),41)&&ThisItem.'Rota start date'>DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),35),LightBlue))))

    @v-yujincui-msft @Yes this is what I need. Im trying to understand how the code works. On the image attached, I know the numbers circled in Red is the day count from current date, but what do the numbers circled in Green represent?

    for my own sanity, Would a 4 week colour flag in say, grey, would this code be correct

     

    If(ThisItem.'Rota start date'<=DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),35)&&ThisItem.'Rota start date'>DateAdd(DateAdd(Today(),-Sum(Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday),-1)),28),Grey

     

     

    Many thanks for your support
