Data brought into dataverse table from dataflow does not appear on linked canvas app, suddenly appears when manually re-entered into dataverse table

Alright so I've deduced this problem down to a dataverse/dataflow issue because of the following. Basically I am making a simple calendar app to show events on dates that are entered into an excel sheet. Dataflow brings the excel data into a dataverse table, and the dataverse table is linked to my canvas calendar app. It's supposed to work such that if there is a date in the dataverse table, the event on that date will appear in the canvas app. The event currently does not appear in the app - UNLESS i re-enter the date in the edit section of the dataverse table, exactly the same as it was. Then the event appears instantly as it should in the canvas app.

 

Is this some kind of bug or incompatibility with dataflows and canvas apps? I don't have any formula/delegation errors anywhere in the app, and since I can manually re-enter the date in the dataverse table and the event instantly appears on the calendar app, this must be a problem with dataflows and dataverse tables right? All of my columns are the correct format etc.

 

Any help on this?

    @AhmedSalih  it does show up in the dataverse table as expected.

     

    I actually just solved my issue, by fixing the formula in powerapps that brings in the date column. I just wrapped the column reference in a DateValue() function. This doesn't really make sense to me because the dataverse column is date type, and the dataflow also makes sure it is a date type when bringing the data in. (I am also a complete noob to powerapps and dataverse so that may be common knowledge, but I didn't know) But hey, as long as it works 🙂

    Hello, @jroache00, When you run the Dataflow, do you see that the data was updated as expected in the Dataverse?
