multiple Date Picker

Posted on by GS-25021227-0

Hi everyone,

I have a problem on my app,
I currently have some users who log into the app and select a date from a DatePicker and click a button that stores their reservation for the selected day in a Microsoft List table.
I would like to give users the opportunity to select multiple days at the same time without having to add them one at a time.

any ideas on how I can do it?

thank you all
Have a good evening

Hi there!

You can get a date picker, a button and a gallery. The user select a date, which push the button to store the date selected in a collection, which can be viewed through a gallery (and delete one if he wants.

When the user is ready, you can add another button below gallery to save all dates from the gallery.

I hope it helps!

To add to the previous answer - you will need to use some light PowerFx codes to prepare the collection, to update the collection when you update the date picker, and to write it to SharePoint.

Consider the following formula on the onvisible property when the page is loaded

ClearCollect( DateCollection, { DateValue: Date(2025, 1, 1) }, { DateValue: Date(2025, 2, 1) }, { DateValue: Date(2025, 3, 1) } )

In the gallery, add a datepicker, and use something like this in the onchange property

Patch( DateCollection, ThisItem, { DateValue: Self.SelectedDate } )

Finally, when you click on the button, do something like this on the Onselect property of the button to save it to SharePoint

ForAll( DateCollection, Patch( MySharePointList, Defaults(MySharePointList), { EventDate: DateValue } ) )

Adjust the setup according to your situation.

HI to all,
unfortunately when I insert the formulas you suggested I encounter some errors, sorry but I'm really new to power apps and I'm trying to get into the perspective.

following your advice I created a new screen and inserted the following code into the ONVISIBLE properties:

ClearCollect(
DateCollection,
{ DateValue: Date(2025, 1, 1) },
{ DateValue: Date(2025, 2, 1) },
{ DateValue: Date(2025, 3, 1) }
)

when I enter the code it gives me the following error on the comma after DateCollection:
Unexpected characters. The formula contains 'Error' where 'ParenClose' is expected.

inserted a gallery called DateCollection and inserted the following code in the ONCHANGE properties:

Patch(
DateCollection,
ThisItem,
{ DateValue: Self.SelectedDate }
)

the same error....

inserted a button called book and inserted the following code in the ONSELECT properties:

ForAll(
DateCollection,
Patch(
Car Parking Reservation,
Defaults(Car Seat Reservation),
{ EventDate: DateValue }
)
)

my sharepoint list is called PrenotazionePostoAuto

Any idea??

Thanks and sorry again for my inexperience

Are you in the EU by any chance?

If your system setting is an European language that is not English, then you would have to tweek the PowerFX a bit.

Where there is a comma, replace it with a semicolon, and where semicolon is used, use 2 semicolons.
