Hi,

You need to store the click event date and who clicked the button, into a database or locally on the device, then, check if that variable is older than today to shows the button as "Display.Edit"

For Example. Try this,
"On select" Button event:

ClearCollect( colEnableButton, { ClickEventDate: Now(), User: User().Email } ); SaveData( colEnableButton, "colEnableButton" )

"DisplayMode" Button property:

If( Or( DateDiff( First(colEnableButton).ClickEventDate, Now(), Days ) >= 1, IsEmpty(colEnableButton) ), DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled )

"OnStart" App event:

LoadData( colEnableButton, "colEnableButton", true )

NOTE:
My example works only on mobile devices or powerapp desktop application because "SaveData" and "LoadData" functions are an Offline features not supported by browsers.
You can store the "colEnableButton" collection into a databese too, then get it by the User().email, as an "ID", to be sure that the button will be disabled to him if corresponds.

Regards!

@damilola79 Ok, so, is that your "OnSelect" button formula?

Share me the "DisplayMode" button property and OnStart App please.

Dario.

Hi @damilola79 ,

You are doing this to set the data

ClearCollect( onClickHandler, { ClickEventDate: Now(), User: User().Email } )

This may be a bit of overkill, but I am trying to avoid potential errors

With( { wEvent: Lookup( onClickHandler, User=User().Email ).ClickEventDate }, If( IsBlank(wEvent) DisplayMode.Edit, If( DateDiff( wEvent, Now(), Days ) >= 1, DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled ) ) )

Note that this formula tests for a 24 hour difference. If you want just the next day, use Today() instead of Now().
