Date validation in a form with textcolumn from sharepoint list

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello!

I got these 3 text columns from sharepoint list where me and my collegues copy/paste in date and time from another system with just text.

Now I want to make a validation in powerapps that makes so my collegues cant insert the date/time in the wrong order.

Wrong:

Correct:

I tried with this formula but its missing a numbervalue. I suspect it's because it wants a date/time value but gets a Text value.

If('logg'.'Received'>'logg'.'Assigned';Notify("Wrong date")

Hi @Anonymous ,
Assuming your colleagues know how to type in valid date structures, you need to refer to the controls (Text Inputs) - so
If( DateValue(ReceivedTextName.Text)> DateValue(AssignedTextName.Text); Notify("Wrong date",Error) )

@Anonymous ,
There is nothing wrong with the code providing the dates are in a proper format (or else it simply will not produc e any checking result).
May I suggest you use data and time fields with the standard date/time Power Apps controls. That is the only way you are going to control this as users can enter anything that looks like a date to them, but it will not trigger this logic unless in acceptable format.
