Posted on by nicolaslegall

Hello,

I'm trying to build a powerapps calendar application, but to upgrade my calendar, i'm trying to use the "Set" function like " Set( _dateSelected, Today() );" or "Set( _firstDayOfMonth, DateAdd( Today(), 1 - Day( Today() ), Days ) );" like in this documentation : https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/screen-templates/calendar-screen-overview

But this display a error, is the documentation outdated or am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks for your answers.

You are missing a ";" in the end of Set

Set(_dateSelected, Today() );

If this does not solve your problem, please put the mouse over the error and tell me te error

Hello @Nogueira1306 , thanks for your answer,

Even with "Set( _dateSelected, Today() );", it's not working, and I got 2 errors "number of invalid arguments : 1 were received, 2 were expected", and "unexpected characters, the formula contains "ParentClose" while "error" is expected.".

Moreover, when I overview the Set function, it tells me the syntax "Set(variable; value)", that's why i'm asking about documentation that is outdated.

Documentantion is notoutdated. That has to do with Power apps language and location.

In US tehy use "," over ";". In Portugal we use ";" for example. YOu need to check your region

@nicolaslegall ,

Depending on your region your code will be either

Set( _dateSelected, Today() ); Set( _firstDayOfMonth, DateAdd( Today(), -1, Days ) ); Set( _firstDayInView, DateAdd( _firstDayOfMonth, -(Weekday(_firstDayOfMonth) - 2 + 1), Days ) )

or

Set( _dateSelected; Today() );; Set( _firstDayOfMonth; DateAdd( Today(); -1; Days ) );; Set( _firstDayInView; DateAdd( _firstDayOfMonth; -(Weekday(_firstDayOfMonth) - 2 + 1); Days ) )
